Bauer Media Group (Bauer Verlagsgruppe) is a German publishing company which operates in 15 countries across the world. The company was founded in 1875 and has since been privately-owned and under management by the Bauer family. Bauer has been managed by four generations of the Bauer family; Originated in a small printing house, The Bauer Publishing Group has grown massively. The Bauer Publishing Group has 282 magazines worldwide, as well as TV and radio stations. Current music magazines they produce are Q, and Kerrang. This would possibly be a good company to produce my magazine, as both of these magazine will be similar to mine.

IPC Media is one of the UKs leading consumer magazine and digital publishers, with a portfolio of magazines selling over 350 million copies each year. It groups titles under five magazine divisions: Connect (women's weeklies such as Now Magazine and Look), Inspire (leisure and specialist), Ignite! (men's lifestyle and entertainment), SouthBank (women's lifestyle and home interest) and TX (portfolio of television titles). In addition, there is Marketforce, the UK's leading magazine distribution business. Digitally they have WOTV and goodtoknow. This may not be a very good company to produce my magazine, as it mostly targets women and leisure, and my magazine will be mainly targeted at men.
