A CONCEPT BORN OF THE INTERNET: On Nov. 9, Teresa Shook, a grandmother in Hawaii, created a Facebook event
invit ing fr iends to march on Washington in protest of Donald Trump’s election. A the same time, a range of similar
Facebook events were popping up across the Internet. Suddenly, thousands of women across the country were signing up to
march. And this rapidly morphed into a national movement.

We worked with thought
leaders, celebrities, and
activists, to give people a
clear view of not just how
they participate, but also,
what happens next. This is
an essential touchpoint for
our mission, and it’s the kind
of content that activates
meaningful peer-to-peer
sharing.

MERCH AUDIENCE DEV
• Brands are more and more likely
in today’s environment to want
to align with mission-driven
platforms, rather than doing
transactional deals. (See: Every
ad at the Super Bowl.)
PARTNERSHIPS
W O M E N ’ S M A RC H ( & W O M E N ’ S I SS U E S ) : T H E B U S I N E SS C A S E
• On International Women’s Day,
we’re partnering with Keds to
bring our art from the women’s
march to life, working with
TicTail Market to host a pop-up.
• In previous months, 2-3% of our
consumption on site is driven by
news and politics coverage. In
January, that number went up
to 17%—which is all additive
audience.
• Advertisers aren’t the only ones
seeking out a space to tell
powerful stories in line with our
mission. Platforms like
Facebook, Tumblr, and Snap are
sending the same signals.
