SheKnows Media, a female-focused digital media co based in New York, made it debut at the NewFronts this week,
million unique visitors per month1 and 285 million social media fans and followers, today announced that it will
debut several new video offerings designed to celebrate women, elevate authentic voices and demystify
women’s health at its first-ever Digital Content NewFronts presentation on May 9.
With modern feminism as the overarching theme backed by proprietary research and audience insights,
SheKnows Media will reveal the following entertaining, highly scalable and sharable video series that offer
brands an unmatched opportunity to engage the millions of women who visit the company’s sites each month:
ï‚· #TheFWord: This new platform builds on a series that SheKnows Media launched to ignite conversation
on feminism through the lens of powerful, personal storytelling. After kicking off with a UGC video
contest in early 2016 to understand all perspectives on feminism backed by new, unprecedented
research on the state of feminism in the U.S., SheKnows Media gives brands the opportunity to support
an up-and-coming female filmmaker who is focused on producing unique, short-form women-
empowerment videos.
ï‚· School Lunch Warriors: SheKnows Media is collaborating with the executive producer of HGTV’s House
Hunters International to produce a new competition show in which parents go head-to-head with each
other to create healthy school lunches that wow a panel of kid judges. Brands’ products are the must-
use ingredient, allowing for strategic product integration throughout the episode.
ï‚· #Fail: This new concept from The Pitch, SheKnows Media’s platform and video series that elevates,
connects and celebrates women entrepreneurs, talks to everyone – from celebrities to CEOs – who
transformed their failures into opportunities even better than they could imagine. Brands can sponsor
an episode profiling successful women, including Stacy London, a stylist/fashion consultant, author, and
magazine editor known for hosting “What Not to Wear,” comedian Amanda Seales, “Hamilton” star and
Tony nominee Renee Goldsberry, and Soul Cycle Founders Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice.
In addition, The Pitch, which has been covered in Fast Company, The Business Journals and Chicago
Tribune, will be launched as a reality show that matches female entrepreneurs to mentors who work
with them to fine-tune their value propositions and business models.
ï‚· Learn From Her: This new, innovative education channel is the brainchild of HelloFlo, which created viral
videos like “Camp Gyno” and “First Moon Party” and is now SheKnows Media’s flagship women’s health
platform. Learn From Her offers on-demand, paid online classes taught by professional, trustworthy
female experts, providing sponsors with 10-plus in-depth lessons covering a range of issues impacting
women and their families – from parenting through puberty to fertility for beginners.
In addition, HelloFlo today debuted the second video, “Leaks Can’t Stop Me Now,” as part of its year-
long partnership with Kimberly-Clark’s U by Kotex and Poise brands. The humorous music video brings
awareness to light bladder leakage – an issue affecting millions of women at various life stages – from
postpartum to menopause. The video can be viewed here.
ï‚· Big Topics, Small Humans: From the makers of Hatch, SheKnows Media’s digital storytelling and media
literacy program for kids, Big Topics, Small Humans captures the authentic, funny and shareworthy
reactions Generation Z has to pop culture events and important, topical issues – from the 2016
presidential election to Kardashian fashion.
ï‚· Bad Date Diaries: SheKnows finds real-life, cringe-worthy dating stories in this animated series featuring
voiceovers by the women who experienced them, giving viewers a laugh and lighthearted look at how
hard yet hilarious it is to be single.
ï‚· Go Grandmas: This first-to-market show gives grandmothers the chance to cross something off their
bucket lists – whether that’s scuba diving for the first time or reconnecting with a long-lost love.
“SheKnows Media has been at the top of comScore’s list of top lifestyle sites targeting women for the last 12-
plus consecutive months2
the fact that we embody what it means to be a modern media company, providing highly curated and relevant,
premium and deeply authentic content, while enabling our 21,000-member Experts Among Us influencer
community to drive the conversation. This approach is what sets us apart, and we could not be more thrilled to
showcase our newest video offerings, reveal new technology and proprietary research, and celebrate the winner
of #TheFWord video contest as a first-time NewFronts presenter.”

advancement within Momentum, the company’s proprietary leading-edge community, content and analytics

SheKnows Media Honors the #TheFWord Video Contest Winner; Opens the 2016 #Femvertising
Awards Call for Entries
In keeping with the feminism theme at NewFronts, SheKnows Media will honor Alex Relagado and Caitlyn
Young, the winners of #TheFWord short-form video contest it launched in early 2016 with Ms. Foundation to
explore the zeitgeist around feminism.
#TheFWord contest encouraged individuals of all genders, ethnicities and points of view to submit brief, two- to
three-minute videos describing what feminism means to them. A high-profile panel of judges including Emmy-
nominated actress Connie Britton, “Orange Is The New Black” actor Matt McGorry, “Unreal,” “Girls” and
“Rosewell” actress Shiri Appleby and Tony Award-winning Broadway and television actress Laura Benanti
helped narrow down the 100-plus original entries, after which SheKnows Media opened the competition up to
the public to vote for their favorite video from among the six finalists. Nearly 10,000 votes culminated in a win
for Regalado and Young’s video, “This Part of Me.”
SheKnows Media will also reveal the full set of findings from its proprietary, third-party validated #TheFWord
study on feminism that explored how women view the concept of feminism, whether or not they self-identify as
a feminist and if they perceive feminism to have a tangible impact on their day-to-day lives, careers and
relationships. More than 1,600 individuals responded to the online survey – the results of which are available
online here.
“We believe that we impact important issues such as sexism and gender bias through pop culture and
mainstream media,” said Samantha Skey, President and Chief Revenue Officer, SheKnows Media. “Together,
#TheFWord video contest and research tells a powerful story about the way that feminism resonates differently
with women of varying ages, ethnicities, lifestyles and backgrounds. We are excited to reveal the full study, as
well as show a clip from Alex and Caitlyn’s video.”
Finally, SheKnows Media will open the Call for Entries for the second-annual #Femvertising Awards at the
NewFronts. The #Femvertising Awards honor advertising that challenges gender norms and unattainable beauty
standards while increasing consumer loyalty and brand awareness. The inaugural awards paid tribute to premier
brands like Always, RAM Trucks, Dove, HelloFlo, and L’Oréal for doing the right thing by women and girls
through pro-female advertising.
This year, #Femvertising Awards winners will be celebrated during 2016 Advertising Week in September. To
date, esteemed judges who will help determine finalists include:
ï‚· Shiri Appleby, actress and star of “Unreal,” Girls” and “Roswell”
ï‚· Anna L. Flores, Founder & CEO, Latina Bloggers Connect, Inc & #WeAllGrow Summit
ï‚· Feminista Jones, Editor, SheKnows Media and Co-Founder, Women’s Freedom Conference
ï‚· Jamia Wilson, Executive Director, Women, Action & The Media
