Ikon Media is dedicated to exploring and expanding creative content and marketing opportunities within new media. Our first Internet venture began in September 1994 with FiX magazine, the UK's first on-line interactive entertainment title. Having built a strong cult following, and achieved an average of 30,000 readers per issue, FiX is recognised as a pioneering and stylish force breaking through the barriers of conventional publishing.

We are the creators of the Liptonice Cube Awards, a showcase Web site for the UK's first annual event rewarding the efforts of talented Web site creators. Liptonice's Web presence forms an integral part of Unilever's nationwide advertising campaign for the brand.
Our clients range from small businesses to major corporations. We encourage and advise clients on how to get the best from the World Wide Web, working with the Audit Bureau of Circulations to provide vital demographic information.

Ikon Media offers a broad range of services. We are committed to cross-media marketing and believe in helping fellow adventurers in new media to develop effective strategies and quality content for the World Wide Web. Currently, our services focus on three areas - publishing, advertising/marketing and public relations.

		PUBLISHING: Our organisation comprises a staff of journalists and publishers with magazine, newspaper, television and radio experience. We have the skills to conceive, develop, implement and promote publishing projects specifically designed to offer consumers the ultimate interactive experience in new media. Integrating still and moving images with audio and text, Ikon Media works toward exploiting available technologies for full-on global entertainment encounters.
		ADVERTISING & MARKETING: Over 30 million people spend an average of six hours per week on-line. Harnessing the power of such a disparate and disorganised mass requires an understanding of both user needs and of the system. Ikon Media forms part of an enthusiastic new generation using the Internet for communication, information and entertainment. We invest hundreds of on-line hours into our projects and work closely with industry experts, including The Media Business, Claydon Heeley International and Michael Herbert Associates. To find out more about marketing opportunities on the World Wide Web contact Owen Valentine Pringle on +44 (0)171 839 0230 or email opringle@aol.com
		PUBLIC RELATIONS: There is explosive interest in the Internet from all other media. From Women's Hour to the 9'O Clock News, the Internet has provoked more coverage than a small war. Ikon Media offers a professional PR service to promote cross-sectional interest in, and increase traffic to Web sites. Headed by Marian Buckley, our PR team - the UK's first Internet PR agency - offers a value added service which was the force behind London's Café Cyberia campaign, and the recent launch of Global Café Ltd in Geneva. For more information on PR opportunities contact Marian Buckley on +44 (0)171 839 0230 or email marian@easynet.co.uk

Wide specialises in high-quality content provision for the Internet, accessible via its own web-site or through various proprietary services including Europe Online, CompuServe and AOL Bertelsmann. Unlike most publishing ventures which opt to publish on the Internet in addition to traditional print media, Wide publications are exclusively designed for the World Wide Web. In this realm, consumer independence is key - which is why all Wide publications are constructed within strict 'usability' guidelines.

Wide caters for the new wave of consumers who want on-demand information and entertainment delivered at low cost. Having established the highly-acclaimed youth and lifestyle monthly, FiX, Wide is developing a series of youth-orientated consumer titles which aim to offer innovative on-line info-tainment.

Fashion UK, an attitude-laden mutha of a fashion monthly which combines essential information with hard-edged fashion stories, launched last winter. The latest addition to the family is Mutual Reality, Wide's electronic arts title - a rolling project covering everything from fine arts to the digital. Over the next twelve months, Wide will launch a series of new magazines aimed at a similar market. Whatch the skies!
