BRM Advertising Dates & Rates

A word from Paul…

If you are looking to reach motorcyclists of any discipline in New Zealand, then Two Creative has you covered. As the parent company of Bike Rider Magazine, there isn’t anyone who knows motorcycling in New Zealand better than us.

But we’re not just about magazines, although they are still an important part of the advertising/promotional mix. We’ve got a successful motorcycling website too (yep, this one here!), a kick-arse YouTube Channel, and busy socials. 

So, I’ll say it again. If you want to reach motorcyclists in New Zealand, we’ve got the vehicle to get your product, brand or event in front of a massive audience of passionate two-wheeled fanatics here in New Zealand. You could call us THE one-stop shop for communicating with road, track and adventure bikers here in NZ. So, why not drop us a line, give us a call or flick us a message and see how we can work with you to give you the edge in the world of motorcycles in New Zealand. 

Bike Rider Magazine

If you’re looking to reach motorcyclists who enjoy riding on the road or the racetrack, then Bike Rider Magazine is the place for you. Published since 2001, BRM is the ONLY print Kiwi road bike magazine.

Produced every 8 weeks and sold in all major magazine outlets including petrol stations and supermarkets, BRM is A4, perfect-bound and features excellent production values, – so if you want your advert to look its best, BRM is the place.

The editorial content is diverse, featuring everything from bike tests to product reviews, interviews, overseas adventures and much more, with high quality photography and design supplementing every feature. BRM readers love to buy bikes, products and accessories. So, if you want to sell road bikes, riding gear and reach a high disposable income audience, BRM is the place for you.

The BRM team works hard to give advertisers extra exposure and added value for their advertising dollar, so if you choose to work with us, you’ll also get access to used product reviews, advertorials and buyers’ guides. It’s just simply a way for us to say thank you for your support.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR LARGE ADS

Bike Rider Magazine is perfect bound. While this binding method has advantages there are also adjustments that need to be made to adverts so they appear as intended and avoid losing information into the fold in of the magazine. We require a safe area of at least 10mm. For double page spreads again try to hold all ‘live’ type 10mm on either side of the centre of the advert. These adverts also need 5mm bleed around all sides.

Please note that rates exclude GST and agency commissions. Payment is due on or before the 20^th of the month following invoice date. If payment is not made by the due date you will be liable for all costs of recovery, commissions and collection fees at market rates.

Website Advertising

Bike Rider Magazine has an awesome website, too. With the latest news uploaded daily and motorcycle reviews, product tests, interviews and features added weekly, the sites receive a significant amount of traffic. Obviously, this is driven by our large social media sites, with each post and review shared to the audience via Facebook and Instagram. 

With options available to meet almost every budget, our websites make a brilliant place to advertise. We can modify advertising space if you have a specific requirement plus can offer wallpaper, website takeovers and videos if required.
