Bio

Background and Format: Cosmopolitan.co.uk is the website for Cosmopolitan magazine. The site, which was relaunched in August 2014, features information about the current issue as well as individual sections on the following: sex & relationships, confessions, centrefolds, chat, fashion, beauty, life coach, cosmo body and in the know. There is now a 24-hour news desk, which means new content is continuous day and night. The editorial content is a combination of both what is published in the magazine and also extra features - everyone at the magazine contributes to the site. Competitions and promotions are the same as what is in the magazine. Audience and Readership: The website is targeted at the same readership as the magazine - women in their mid-late twenties.  Deadline: There are various product sections and the website is edited on a daily basis - as and when new features / products / news comes in. Monthly Unique Users: Source: Publisher. Other Information: Email is always the best way to pitch to the whole team as it can be difficult to digest everything a PR is trying to get across over the phone. Knowing the site is key. Referencing where you think your idea would sit best on the site will always be a winner. Don’t send the team ideas for things Cosmo has never covered. PRs need to have something substantial to offer rather than telling the team about what they are currently working on. If it’s a real life story, for instance, have case studies and experts ready and waiting. If it’s a celebrity story, the team will need access to talent, or an exclusive video or brilliant photography. Videos: The majority of video content will be filmed in-house but the team take it on a case-by-case basis and regularly works in partnership with PRs on original content.
