Time Inc.’s PeopleStyle and StyleWatch Join Forces

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Time Inc. (NYSE: TIME) today announced that StyleWatch, a leading
millennial fashion and beauty resource, will join the People brand as
PeopleStyle beginning with the September 2017 issue. Bethany Heitman,
who was recently elevated to Editor-in-Chief of StyleWatch, reporting to
Jess Cagle, Editorial Director, Style & Entertainment Group, and
Editor-in-Chief, People, will partner with Andrea Lavinthal, Beauty and
Style Director of People, to lead PeopleStyle.

“As we continue to build the People brand and its digital verticals,
fashion is a critical part of our strategy,” said Cagle. “StyleWatch’s
young audience is remarkably receptive to advertisers, and it will play
a key role in Time Inc.’s e-commerce expansion. By rebranding as
PeopleStyle, the magazine becomes part of a singular multimedia brand
that lives on digital, mobile and social platforms and as a weekly print
section in People. The re-branded magazine will include more celebrity
fashion but will remain basically the same—a valuable resource for
millennial women, bringing them the latest trends in street style and
helping them shop for the looks they love.”

Heitman commented: “Our audiences love celebrity fashion and beauty and
look to our brand for accessible and affordable coverage. Joining People
gives us an incredible edge and opportunity to grow our brand and extend
our reach.”

According to Starch, StyleWatch ranks No. 1 for having taken action on
ads in its competitive set for four years straight, from 2013 to 2016.
In addition, 84% of those responding to a StyleWatch reader engagement
study say they plan to buy a product they see in the issue.

Cece Ryan, who oversees sales at PeopleStyle as Senior Vice President,
Celebrity, Entertainment, Style and Multicultural, said, “This is a
win-win for all of our audiences, including our partners, who want to
reach the most engaged brand loyalists who shop the biggest trends each
season.”

People’s digital audience continues to grow on all platforms,
reaching more than 100 million users monthly, across People.com,
Snapchat Discover and other platforms. PeopleStyle, with its
fast-growing audience on a variety of social channels, will continue to
leverage People’s rapid omni-platform growth as one of its most highly
trafficked and most engaging verticals.
