'PLC' is a magazine publisher that primarily aims their audience at gaming guru's and teenagers getting into gaming. Many of their titles have the same or slight differences when it comes to the age group and gender they aim for, which is about 13+ because of some of the games that are advertised. Usually when people say 'gaming', members of the public would straightaway assume it was a masculine activity. 'PLC' follows this 'stereotype' so they can sell more of their products. All to most of their products are technology based, so the large amount of demographic, but 'PLC' also publishes women's magazines but by looking at the category it comes under, their magazines for women are more creative than they are models etc. This can imply that the magazine is aimed at older women with more time on their hands, and even housewives.
Bauer
'Bauer' is the most popular UK music magazine/media publishers. 'Bauer' owns about all of the music magazines, covering a wide range of audience, since all their products age vary from young (15) to old (70) with stuff like 'Kerrang!' and 'BBC Music'. 'Bauer' even owns some of the most popular Radio Stations, 'Q Radio' being one of them. Bauer is good for publishing music magazines but it'd be hard to be a part of 'Bauer' as one of their magazines because there are so many magazines that cover a large amount of audience, but if you were to get 'Bauer' as a publisher then sales can be quite high quickly because other 'Bauer' products can advertise yours.
IPC Media
'IPC' are primarily aimed at women as most of their products are about TV shows for women, reality stories for women about women and gossip about the celebrity world. The age group for their magazines is around 25-35. Usually at this time women are in a relationship or married, and usually want to make an impression on their husband. There are some magazines aimed at older and higher class men doing high class activities/sports like shooting.
