Advertise in BMA Magazine

Who are we?

If you want a good time in or out you’d better pick up a copy of Canberra’s only dedicated entertainment street press. We’ve got what’s on and what’s coming up covered. We’re a full colour, heat-set magazine giving our readers the skinny on the latest CD releases, touring artists and DJs, local acts, movies, theatre, art and general awesomeness.

Where can you get it?

BMA Magazine is distributed every fortnight to over 400 locations throughout the ACT and surrounding NSW, with 13,000 more downloaded. Main distribution points include; tertiary campuses, music and fashion retailers, video rental outlets, cafes, nightclubs, hotels, pubs, salons, supermarkets, fresh-food markets, petrol stations, galleries, theatres, cinemas and more. Just because you have an ad in a Sydney-based street press, don’t think you’ve got Canberra covered.

Why advertise in BMA Magazine?

Over 20,000 readers pick up BMA and 13,000 more view it from our website www.bmamag.com

As a fortnightly magazine, we offer advertisers two full weeks of coverage as opposed to just the one.

BMA has been in existence for over 21 years, meaning our core demographic of 14–35 is joined by a strong long-time following from those aged 35 and up. This creates a very useful overlapping effect. Our long standing status and on-going commitment to all things sassy has led us to be recognised as Canberra’s premiere entertainment tome. Like the best things in life, we’re free, thus accessible to all.

Please verify that your advertisement artwork fits the dimensions specified above.

Colour: CMYK or grayscale only. Files submitted in RGB will be converted to CMYK. Please note changes in colour may occur as a result of conversion to CMYK.

Resolution: 300dpi is the minimum resolution required for advertisment artwork.

*Bleed: If placing a Full Page advertisement that bleeds to the edge of the page, allow for 10mm extra space clear of important images and live text around the boarder of the artwork. This avoids important dates, text, or logos from being cut off in the trimming process. We DO NOT accept Microsoft Pulbisher files (.pub): Publisher files must be ‘exported’ or ‘saved as’ PDF format only.
