ZOO is the antidote to the pressures of being a British 21st Century male. It lives for today, worries tomorrow covering girls, sport, music, film and technology in a cheeky tone.

ZOO gives it to you straight, giving men what they really want – laughs, girls, sport,– in an easy read, whether that be in print, digital or online.

THE

MISSION

Males aged between 18-35 with a core age of 25-35. Defined by attitude rather than age, the reader is mainly single, works full time and is blue collar. Looking good is important, but more importantly readers like to have a laugh with mates and be seen as funny.

THEREADER

Think ZOO magazine and you think amazing covergirls, the hottest female celebrity names and stunning exclusive shoots. But each week ZOO also covers the biggest, boldest, funniest and most shocking stories.

Whether hitting the front lines with MoD Special Forces, exposing El Salvador’s deadly prisons, reporting live from the biggest tech expos and car shows or having a laugh with Hollywood superstars, each week ZOO offers readers a mix of informative, expert and entertaining content.

With unique access, beautifully delivered and succinctly written into gripping 10-minute reads, ZOO takes you to places you would never expect.

FEATURES

NO WONDER FOOTBALLERS LOVE READING ZOO SPORT. AS STEVEN GERRARD ONCE SAID: “IT HAS EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN ONE PLACE.”

Men obsess about sport – and nobody is more obsessive than ZOO magazine. Each week the magazine delivers original sports content, featuring the biggest names and events.

With incredible access, unique franchises and hard-hitting columnist David Haye, ZOO magazine does it all: batting in the nets with Jimmy Anderson, talking tactics with Jose Mourinho and following its own sponsored racehorses. What’s more, much-anticipated annual brand events – such as the long-running Football Awards and Premier League season previews – take readers inside the sports they love.

Speedy advice Chris is going speed dating and is very nervous, so he asks his mate Michael for some advice. “The key to a woman’s heart is to agree with whatever she says,” says Michael.

“Whatever she likes, say you like as well. Whatever her interests are, say they’re your interests.”

Chris arrives at the speed-dating centre and finds himself sat in front of a gorgeous brunette. “I won’t waste time,” she begins. “I like nothing more than going down on a bloke all night!”

“Me, too!” says Chris. KEVIN,via email
