Cosmopolitan, the magazine for smart, spirited young women, is an icon of a brand. With more than 1.6m readers, Cosmo is the life, love and relationships bible – celebrating fun, glamour, men and a passion for life.

'At the heart of every feature is the ethos that Cosmo must inspire young women to be the best they can be. Whether that’s by empowering them to ask for a payrise, offering honest sex and love advice, or helping them to hunt down those heels, Cosmo engages with our reader on a deeper emotional level than any other brand, providing solid, intelligent advice she really trusts.The Cosmo reader is a family girl who loves men but she doesn’t live through them. She’s obsessed with fashion and beauty and the smartest ways to make them work for her. She’s proud of her relationship with her friends, and her hard-earned career. She might not always feel 100% confident – about her body, her relationships or her life – but that’s where Cosmo comes in. '
