Learning Outcome 3 (U21): Be able to pitch ideas on a proposed media product and respond to questions (

Considering Client Feedback/Questions To the right are both my practice pitch and my final product pitch for Stag Gyms magazine. As part of the pitch I answered several questions resembling real client queries, after reviewing my practice pitch feedback I was able to identify any weaknesses in my product and resolve them; then after pitching the product again I got given more complex questions which allowed me to reconsider some aspects of my product in order to create better pre-production material and make my product more appealing to the target audience, hopefully making it more successful in the future.

Presenting the Final Pitch for Stag Gyms Magazine After receiving feedback from my practice pitch I knew everything I need to know in order to make my final pitch as effective and successful as it possibly can be. Previously, one of my main weaknesses was misunderstanding some of the questions the audience have asked me, this time I'm confident that I understood them all and answered them appropriately.   Questions "Part of me feels like the name Stag Gyms sounds like a brand of gyms, e.g. a company, rather than a magazine. Any thoughts on that?" Although I can see where the client is coming from, as the name of the magazine can be easily misinterpreted as a brand of Gyms, we chose this name in order to stand out from other generic magazine mastheads. Accompanied with the bold logo the title boldly emphasises the energetic and intense aspect of fitness. We also believe that the untraditional and unique look will help us attract the younger bracket of our t...
