SheKnows Launches Experts among Us
Scottsdale, AZ and New York, NY (PRWEB) October 29, 2013 -- Today, SheKnows (http://www.sheknows.com) announced the launch of Experts Among Us, an influencer program across the core verticals of parenting, food, beauty, fashion, home, health, fitness, DIY, and charitable causes. SheKnows has created a supportive environment for content producers to share their passion via articles, recipes, how to’s, and videos.
Across all channels, original content from everyday experts will be integrated with award-winning editorial, a standout feature of the program. SheKnows editors will curate Expert content, working directly with contributors and helping to grow Experts’ personal brands through exposure to the SheKnows network.
“We are excited to give hand-raisers an opportunity to create fresh content under the guidance of our editors,” said Philippe Guelton, CEO of SheKnows. “We are developing a best-in-class platform and tools to keep our Experts motivated and engaged, and hope to inspire a whole new generation of contributors. We look forward to celebrating their work with millions of women each month.”
The program’s founding members have diverse backgrounds, including female entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, professional writers, social media sensations, celebrities with a cause, top bloggers, and yet-to-be-discovered talent. Contributors and advisors include:
• Amanda Clayman, financial therapist and blogger from The Good, The Bad, and The Money
