NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SheKnows
Media, a leading women’s media company with 83 million unique
visitors a month¹ and 246 million social media fans and
followers², today announced that The
Pitch: Food Edition, will be a keynote session at #BlogHerFood15,
the nation’s leading event for online food influencers.

This is the next milestone for The
Pitch, a content series comprising videos, articles and
community events that help women entrepreneurs craft their consumer
pitches for exposure to the 83 million women who visit SheKnows Media’s
sites each month. The Pitch, launched in July at #BlogHer15, provides
valuable marketing support, including media distribution, consumer
insights, and community support – all of which help female founders as
they pursue customer adoption to take their ideas to the next level.

Videos featuring Pitch participants published since July have garnered
more than one million page views, with the program enjoying coverage in
such media outlets as Business
Journal, Fast
Company, Ebony
and Tech
Republic.

The Pitch: Food Edition keynote will feature four women founders from
food-focused companies, who will present their Pitch to the
#BlogHerFood15 audience and a panel of judges. Prior to the event, the
SheKnows Media team will help each participant hone their consumer-value
business proposition and will professionally produce a 60-second Pitch
video via the company’s in-house production studio. The winning Pitch
participant, as determined by a combination of judges ranking and
conference attendee popular vote, will receive a prize package that
includes marketing, media and promotional support from SheKnows Media.

“The Pitch: Food Edition provides exposure for women with great business
ideas and is designed to support their growth,” said Elisa Camahort
Page, Chief Community Officer, SheKnows Media. “By working with the
SheKnows Media team and sharing their pitches with such a sizeable
audience of women – the most powerful consumer group we have seen to
date – entrepreneurs receive the resources, constructive feedback and
coaching needed to help them pursue their goals.”
