Mark Shaw is targeting 16-30 year old audiences who enjoy R&B music for a new R&B magazine. Specifically, the magazine will target male audiences who make up most R&B music sales, though it aims to appeal to both genders. As most of the target audience are college/university students or young professionals, they will have lower incomes but more free time compared to older demographics. The magazine aims to reflect the relaxed nature of R&B music and increase satisfaction of R&B fans across different subgenres.
