NEW YORK--()--Time Inc.’s PEOPLE, the premier celebrity news and entertainment brand with a weekly audience of more than 58 million, is partnering exclusively with Poshly, the leading consumer intelligence company for the beauty and personal care industries, to launch a new data-driven digital channel, “Poshly Giveaways by PEOPLE,” on December 8.

The new channel, powered by Poshly’s proprietary technology, will live on PEOPLE.com and will feature highly coveted giveaways curated by Poshly and PEOPLE editors. Users may enter the giveaways by answering a series of targeted questions for a chance to receive some of the world’s top beauty and personal care products. The giveaway quiz format will be presented in a fun interface that can be easily accessible for mobile, digital and social platforms and helps PEOPLE speak to its next-generation loyalists on their preferred devices

The relationship will provide PEOPLE with real-time consumer insights that can be used to refine content, product development strategy and marketing messaging. The collaboration also represents an evolution in PEOPLE’s digital strategy to create more products that appeal to their growing millennial audience.

“PEOPLE is thrilled to partner with Poshly in bringing this unprecedented and deeply engaging cross-platform destination – packed with premium beauty offerings – to our audience,” says Joseph LaFalce, Executive Director, Business Development Digital Entertainment, PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly. “This new channel signifies PEOPLE’s direction towards unlocking the power of data in our business practices and underscores our mission to create new and exciting tools and experiences that serve our consumers, editors and advertising partners in a holistic way.”

As for Poshly, the partnership will allow them to expand their reach to a new audience and gives their 400k+ existing members access to beauty picks directly from PEOPLE’s expert beauty and style editors. All of the data provided to Poshly’s clients, and now PEOPLE, is anonymized and aggregated so brands are receiving valuable insights for decision-making, not personal information about users. Poshly believes the best way to know what a consumer is thinking is to ask them – and give them a trustworthy and beneficial reason to respond.

“We couldn’t think of a better media partner than PEOPLE to launch Poshly’s first co-branded digital data collection and giveaway interface,” says Doreen Bloch, Founder and CEO of Poshly, Inc. “This new channel allows Poshly to white-label its proprietary technology and expand its reach to a highly-engaged fashion and beauty loving audience – the collaboration will broaden our already vast sample size and gather even more compelling insights for our clients.”
