About

It took heart and determination to start a niche magazine at a time when major publishing houses were downsizing or closing their doors altogether.  And that ingenuity paid off.  

From grass roots, Sikk Magazine has now achieved nationwide exposure and distribution.  For 4 strong years, it has been an outlet for followers of southern-based Hip Hop.  It’s something new and something real. It is a tool to showcase artists’ accomplishments, goals, and the struggle behind their music.  Sikk Magazine’s success has been phenomenal featuring Slim Thug, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Pimp C, Young Dro, Trae the Truth, Alley Boi, Trina and many more in print, Sikk TV, and online at www.sikkmag.com.

Advertising in Sikk Magazine assists you in marketing and selling your product to our demographic.  Which; by the way, has a combined spending power of $845 billion. Our consumer group influences mainstream culture both here and abroad.  

In business, Image is everything and the upside of magazine advertising with Sikk Magazine can be summed up in one word: Image.

Advertising in Sikk Magazine also allows you can reach your target audience, educate them about your products or services, and move them closer to making a purchase.  It is our consumers who will identify what products are 'hot' among various market segments and how other segments will adopt them.  

Sometimes it is difficult to know which form of advertising is right for your product. Your options are limitless, but your budget is not.  We understand that fact all too well.

Sikk Magazine is a small organization.   What that means to you:

·     More of your advertising dollars are spent on people to see your brand… not on our overhead!
·     Your sales consultant will always take the time needed to provide you a cost effective solution to increase your bottom line… not just sell you an ad space, disappear, then call you again when it’s time to renew.

By leveraging our readership demographics, you instantly ensure that your message is being seen by the right people - the ones most likely to buy your product.  Your advertising dollars need to do three things:

1.     Get in their Repertoire…  we assist in ensuring your brand, gets or stays into the repertoire of brands that these consumers are choosing from
2.     Increase Preference… as we all know people will usually have favorites… we will assist them in choosing your brand more often than they do now
3.     Grow Your Market… we’re not promising an increase in market share, but we will assist in growing your market by creating more sales opportunities with buyers

Hip Hop is constantly rising to new heights. Regardless as to one’s personal preference for this genre of music; Hip Hop today has not only revolutionized the music industry but has permeated clothing, fragrance, beverage and jewelry businesses along the way.
