THE ROAD ETHOS
Statistics
Magazines are changing. People no longer want to pay £5 for printed publications, when they can have exciting multimedia magazines FREE on their computers, tablets and phones. Road covers new car road tests, road trips and motorsport events in the UK, USA & Europe. We’ve got high-end supercars, to the ultimate hot hatches and those ‘own before you die’ classics. Our innovatively-designed magazine includes the wildest of the organised road rallies, to the simple pleasure of chucking an overnight bag in your favourite car and heading out on your own personal road trip. And, because of the way Road is produced, there are no expensive print costs, so we can pass this saving on to the advertiser - giving you less expensive and more targeted, cost-effective brand publicity.

ADVERTISING SPECS
MAGAZINE ADVERTISING RATES
While Road is a digital magazine, to aid design it is laid up as if it were going to print then transferred to a digital server from the completed PDF. There are a range of advert sizes you can choose from, shown below. Remember that, unlike banner ads, an advertisement in Road will stay in front of the readers for much longer as they read the magazine. What’s more, readers can go straight to your own website simply by clicking on your company’s advert. Because Road is designed to be read onscreen, we recommend that you use a larger font in your advertisement than would be typical for a printed magazine – 13 point should be the minimum. Anything smaller can be read, but only if the user zooms in. Adverts should be supplied RGB with no bleed and as a press proof PDF.
