STYLECASTER Grows Nearly 100 Percent in Nine Months Supported by an End-to-End Brand Relaunch

The Millennial-Focused Style Media Brand Hires Top Editorial Talent;
Receives Recognition from the 2016 Webby Awards as a Best in Fashion &
Beauty Website Category Nominee

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–STYLECASTER, part of the SheKnows Media family of sites, today
announced that it has achieved its peak reach to date at 4.7 million
unique visitors per month—a 92 percent increase since June 2015.*

Over the same period of time, the millennial-focused fashion, beauty and
lifestyle brand has also realized a 115 percent rise in followers across
its social-media platforms, as well as a 280 percent growth in
e-newsletter subscribers. STYLECASTER’s growth is largely attributed to
an end-to-end brand relaunch completed in January 2016, in which the
company revealed a new mission statement, a bold logo, a sleek site
redesign, shopping modules, new video capabilities and an enhanced
mobile experience.

Since the relaunch, STYLECASTER was also recognized by the 2016 Webby
Awards as an official nominee for Best Fashion & Beauty Website; it also
was an honoree for the Best Use of Photography category.

“This past year was strategically about three very key things: building
authority, creating a genuinely engaging site experience, as well as
continuing to celebrate personal style and individuality. I wanted to
build a site that speaks to women in the most honest way imaginable—to
cut through the clutter and allow readers to understand that style is
possible for everyone, at any price point,” said STYLECASTER Editor
in Chief Jessica Teves, adding, “Our goal is to engage in the actual
conversations millennials are having with service and sophisticated
accessibility.”

As part of its effort to establish a stronger editorial voice for the
brand, STYLECASTER embarked on a new strategic content strategy after
hiring Editor in Chief Jessica Teves and Publisher Matt Rice
within the last 12 months, both of whom most recently hail from
Style.com. Since then, the brand has on-boarded a bicoastal sales team,
top-tier columnists, editors and contributors, as well as talent from
premier media outlets to its expanding staff, including:

• Melissa Medvedich, STYLECASTER’S creative director, previously
  at Slam magazine
• Mel Matzker, STYLECASTER’s social media manager, previously at
  Mashable
• Hilary George-Parkin, the brand’s fashion editor,
  previously at Lucky magazine
• Hannah Hickock, STYLECASTER’s lifestyle editor,
  previously at Dr. Oz The Good Life magazine

In response to its end-to-end relaunch, STYLECASTER is collaborating
with leading advertisers such as Tiffany and Neiman Marcus.

STYLECASTER Publisher Matt Rice added, “The ad community has
really taken notice of the site, and the great work that Jessica and the
edit team are doing. We continue to hear extremely positive feedback
from clients about the overall design, content, tone and original voice.
Consequently, we’ve experienced well over 300 percent growth in
advertising in 1H, largely driven by the fashion, luxury, beauty and
retail categories, with branded content and influencer marketing
programs being at the core.”
