Platform is your new favourite magazine, you like us because we’ve sorted out your sex-life, told you what not no wear, and asked the questions you wanted to ask her. We celebrate everything great about being young; sex, music, style, life, and probably a whole lot more. We want to do things for ourselves, stay independent, make money, and most of all; have fun.

But what does that that even mean? Well, to put it bluntly, our audience is made up of young, intelligent, opinion-leading trendsetters. Our editorial team carry Grade A Bull-Shit Detectors™, and as a result, our content sits in a seperate league to the rest of the youth magazine market: We are entertaining without being pointlessly antagonistic, and interesting without being worthy or condescending. We spotlight quality, not hype.

But don’t believe us, make your own mind up. See what people are saying - read the blogs, ask twitter, get your magic 8 out, flip a coin, and if you like; read some of the press:

‘If internet buzz is anything to go on, expect to see mainstream magazines lobbing excitable accolades at them in the very near future – and playing catch-up with the kids, who could have predicted this three years ago. They certainly know their stuff.’
