Women’s media network Mamamia is working to have its cake and eat it, positioning itself as a scale publisher while shifting to a “house of brands” approach that allows it to more effectively build and monetise different audiences.
At Mamamia’s upfront event in Sydney Tuesday, the company launched new content aimed at Gen X women (45 to 60-year-olds), parents and travellers among other audiences. It also announced a “strategic shift” that it says will de-emphasise the Mamamia brand in favour of the individual content verticals.
“[In the past] we’ve lent in really hard to the Mamamia brand, but we have incredibly powerful brands in You Beauty, Nothing to Wear, Out Loud, [and] that has created these smaller communities under the Mamamia umbrella,” Mamamia CEO Nat Harvey told Mumbrella in an interview before the event.
