The Wom

The Wom, Mondadori Media’s 100% inclusive digital media Brand, becomes a leader in the women’s segment with 8 million individual users and over 5 million fans on the social networks just under a year of its launch (source: Audiweb, July 2022).

With a primarily social and 100% inclusive nature, The Wom is present on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and WWB with a main profile and thematic vertical channels. Such transversal offer has led the Mondadori Media brand to become a point of reference for the new generations, thanks to its ability to relate the interests of both the millennial and Z generations.

The brand enhances individual uniqueness through contents by sharing the values, experiences, emotions and sensations of an ever increasing number of people by overcoming stereotypes and taboos.

“We are very happy with these results: The Wom made its way up the web and social rankings and become a point of reference for the new generations of women in just 8 months. For us, The Wom means the pursuit of happiness and our content proposal is refreshed daily, thanks to the constant exchanges of ideas and emotions of all those involved in the project – from the creators and editors, to the very strong community that developed around the brand – and who share our values, beyond all labels,” stated Daniela Cerrato, Mondadori Media’s Mass Market Brand Manager.

The offer is now expanding by adding The Wom Horoscope, full of astrological contents and articles so as to meet the needs of the new generations’ increasingly more evident passion, to The Wom Beauty, The Wom Fashion, The Wom Healthy, The Wom Life and The Wom Travel.

The website contains a special area devoted to daily horoscopes illustrated with The Wom’s unmistakable stylistic code and in-depth insight on the characteristics of each sign.
The Instagram profile provides daily inspirations and curiosities in a fun and ironic key: infographics, memes, astro stories and astro reels related to the zodiac signs, but also fashion, beauty, health and lifestyle forecasts developed together with the creator Luigi Torres Cerciello, insta-astrologist and author just acquired by The Wom. Viral contents are presented in the language of digital natives and are able to reach over 700 thousand followers on Instagram, a fan base mainly consisting of under 35 female users and which further strengthens the brand’s audience in this age group.

Today, The Wom boasts a team of over 60 talented experts, who contribute to the production of 1.000 original contents each month between the website and social networks which reached a total of 16 million video views (source: Shareablee and Instagram reels insights, September 2022).

The Wom’s novelties and milestones were celebrated in the heart of Milan at 21WOL during an exclusive event, “The WoMderful Squad,” which brought together all of the brand’s top creators for the first time, as well as some exponents of The Wom Committee, among which Benedetta De Luca, Gender and Inclusion Editor, Federica Gasbarro, Climate editor, Ariman Scriba, mental health advocate and Victoria Oluboyo, civil rights activist and intersectional feminist.

The special evening focused on the stories of those who strive to ensure the brand’s success each day, such as the creators Paola Torrente, Samuele Bartoletti, Henry Scorner, Abbia Maswi and Hiba Omra. The performance of the emerging artist Marsali animated the evening.

 

The Wom received excellent feedback, also for the work carried out by Mediamond, the agency that designed the advertising solutions, through a series of special projects in constant development, and thanks to which over 30 customers decided to get involved in the brand’s initiatives within the first 6 months.

 

 

Pride Month has been yet another opportunity for The Wom, Mondadori Media’s new 100% inclusive digital media brand, to confirm its positioning as a point of reference for young millennials and generation Z, who regard uniqueness and freedom of expression as strengths and values that enrich them and others, over and beyond labels.

For more than 1 month The Wom provided its entire community with a rich editorial program of stories and analyses on all 5 of its social channels and on the web: a special marathon with more than 120 content items, which reached over 10 million people (source: Google analytics e social insight, June 2022).

Many video accounts and insights have been shared, enhanced by continuous storytelling on social media and the web that raised awareness about current key issues, thanks in part to contributions from 20 video creators and authors from the LGBTQIA+ universe: they included Sara Fregosi, who told The Wom community about her difficult coming out with her mother, and Samuele Bartoletti, a victim of teenage bullying, who sent a message of freedom and pride in telling his story. The editorial program also included curiosities and analyses shedding light on some of the most keenly debated questions, in part through the Vocal Carousels, a collection of original audio clips in which The Wom asked members of its community about their experiences of Pride.

For each item, The Wom chose the most suitable format and channel: from short reels on TikTok, with stories from the creators and information content, to the Carousels and vertical reels on Instagram devoted to make-up, style pride and fluid fashion; from the web capsule, with a daily agenda on the issues of the LGBTQIA+ community, to  live coverage with IG Stories from Milano Pride, where a video maker and editor interviewed participants to convey the experience in real time on social media. The new special edition format will be used to examine many other issues and events over the rest of the year.

For Pride Month, the brand also launched The Wom Pride, a new rainbow visual, which accompanied the brand storytelling, with The Wom Pride logo appearing on all social channels, the pride rainbow bar on all content, a fixed navigation link on the website, and a fixed space dedicated to the web capsule on the website homepage.

The project confirms The Wom’s mission to promote a culture that affirms free expression of personality: addressing a community of people who care about the values of gender equality, self-acceptance and sustainability, with the typically inclusive content and language of generation Z and the millennials, The Wom is the first Italian media brand to form a Gender & Inclusion Committee.

The Wom audience continues to expand, with 10 million unique users (source: Comscore March 2022), a 4 million fanbase and 35 million video views (source: Shareablee e social insight, May 2022).
