theSkimm, the mission-driven digital media company helping millennial women live their smartest lives, announced today the launch of their Women's History Month campaign, Skimm'd While Making History, in partnership with Hulu. Beginning Monday, March 1, Skimm'd While MAKING HISTORY will spotlight extraordinary women who have made history in the last year, from social activists to creators and those holding it down at home, with a multi-platform content series amplifying the voices of trailblazing women and everyday heroes whose stories will go down in the books.
"Women are continuing to make big impacts, despite a consistent uphill battle over the last year," said theSkimm's co-founders and co-CEOs Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg. "As a company founded by women, dedicated to supporting women, it felt more important than ever to spotlight those who are breaking the mold and to invite women everywhere to celebrate their own accomplishments, big and small for Women's History Month."
By commemorating those who are driving change, Skimm'd While MAKING HISTORY aims to empower women, a mission that theSkimm and Hulu will drive home across web, video, community and audio integrations. Hulu is sponsoring a special-season of theSkimm's weekly career podcast "Skimm'd from the Couch," where each episode will give a look into the work lives of women who are shaking things up for the better. theSkimm co-founders and co-CEOs Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg will speak with NBC's Kristen Welker about journalism in the age of the pandemic, activist Alicia Garza about her groundbreaking work leading the Black Lives Matter organization, Peloton CMO Dara Treseder about the brand's transformative year, Kathrin Jansen, Head of Vaccine Research at Pfizer and Dr. Laura Forese, COO at NY-Presbyterian Hospital about working through crises.
Skimm'd While MAKING HISTORY will also feature a video co-branded by Hulu and theSkimm featuring the women in entertainment who are dedicated to telling the stories of women behind the camera who are changing the world in remarkable ways;; an interactive video wall where theSkimm community can join in on the month-long celebration by submitting videos in honor of the women who have made an impact on their lives; and curated product recommendations from women-owned businesses and nonprofits, books by women authors and more.
