So, you have thought long and hard over your magazine's title and strapline. Now you have to pitch this to a representative of Bauer Media (me) in what is known as a 60 Second Pitch.
What is a 60 Second Pitch?
Have you ever watched the TV series Dragons' Den? If so, you are familiar with the idea of a 60 second pitch.
In this TV programme entrepreneurs explain their idea for a new business venture to a group of very wealthy investors.
They need to try to convince these investors to contribute funding to their idea in return for a share in the business BUT they only have a very short amount of time in which to do this.
What Should My 60 Second Pitch include?
You have been given the task of producing the front cover and contents page(s) of the first two editions of a new film magazine.
You now need to pitch your idea for your new magazine in a short video that is, surprisingly, 60 seconds long.
You should begin by introducing yourself and the title of your film magazine, like this:
Hello, my name is (insert name) and I am here to pitch (insert name), a new film magazine aimed at a 16-25 year old media literate audience.
The rest of your pitch should include the following information:
- The month in which the first edition and website will be launched
- How often the magazine will be published (monthly / bi-monthly)
- Price of magazine
- The strapline for the magazine
- What readers of your magazine and website can expect to find
- How you will make sure that the content of the magazine and website appeal to your target audience.
