Mamamia’s Upfronts showcases its #1 trusted connection with women of all generations

With the demise of so many women’s media brands over the past few years, trusted connection between a single media brand and a broad audience is increasingly rare. Mamamia’s Upfronts 2021 showcased exactly what it looks like: a unique, trusted connection with 5 million+ women, inclusive of Generations Z, Y and X.

The independent media company also announced that they had accelerated past 100 million Australian downloads across their women’s podcast network, which remains the #1 women’s podcast network globally.

‘What women are actually talking about’ is the Mamamia brand’s promise to all women, with its talented line-up of candid female voices, and it’s what takes Mamamia’s audience connection to another level. Whatever the medium, whatever the subject - with unique permission to cover all aspects of women’s lives - it translates to outstanding effectiveness for brands.

“Well-trusted women’s voices, representing a well-trusted local media brand, offer brands a premium efficacy,” said Mia Freedman, Co-founder, Mamamia Media Company.

The market research (W18+, n=1,472, August-September 2020) explored users’ perceptions of different media brands: Mamamia ranks a clear number #1 on “Makes me feel like I’m among friends,” “Makes me feel seen and understood,” and “Makes me feel supported in this crisis,” with more than double the proportion of users agreeing, compared to second place.

Women have relied on Mamamia more than ever through 2020, and “it’s a privilege and a responsibility we take seriously,” said Head Of Content, Holly Wainwright, as she also revealed a new social video series for parents and brands, ‘My Pregnancy Diary.’ Mamamia Media Company’s announcements spanned Beauty, Parents, Podcasts and fast-growing in-house social media agency, Social Squad.

Executive Editor, Leigh Campbell, revealed a ‘You Beauty Collective’ of 15 new and diverse contributors to the platform, a ‘You Beau-torial’ social video series, extra wild card episodes of hit podcast, ‘You Beauty,’ and a ‘You Beauty School’ virtual live event coming in 2021.

Mia Freedman wrapped up the event announcing two new podcast into the world’s #1 women’s podcast network:

‘What I Eat When’ is a food podcast about life, not recipes, with host and Italian foodie Silvia Colloca speaking with well-known Australians about the meals that have special memories and meaning for them. It launches in time for the food and festivity of summer.

And at the less polished end of things, comes ‘The Undone.’ Two unknown twenty-somethings, Emily Vernem and Lucy Neville, who share an inner city flat and a workplace in Mamamia, candidly dissect the big issues of life - from sex and dating disasters, to politics, money, identity and health, it’s a podcast made for and by Gen Z. The Undone launches on November 19th and it’s already been snapped up by launch partner Toyota Yaris.

Mamamia is Australia’s #1 women’s media brand across written, eDMs, video, social, influencers, member panels, LIVE events and podcasts. Ever-evolving, but with the unchanging purpose to make the world a better place for women and girls, Mamamia is a brand’s super channel for women.
