Toronto, August 12, 2020 – Cue Digital, the online media sales agency that delivers engagement to the most lucrative consumer audiences in Canada, today announced that it has expanded its exclusive partnership with Group Nine Media, a top 10 most-viewed global media company [source: Tubular Labs, June 2020], to now include POPSUGAR, the leading digital women’s lifestyle brand, in its Canadian offering.

Group Nine acquired POPSUGAR in October 2019, expanding the partnership first created in early 2019, in which Cue represents Group Nine’s unique branded content offerings to Canadian clients. The new Group Nine portfolio reaches 50 per cent of all Canadians across its five publishers: NowThis, The Dodo, POPSUGAR, Thrillist and Seeker [source: Platform analytics via Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

POPSUGAR is the #1 most engaged-with women’s lifestyle site in the U.S. [source: ComScore, February 2020] and reaches global audiences across platforms with its premium lifestyle content spanning across fitness, health & wellness, beauty and entertainment. POPSUGAR Fitness is the no. 1 most-viewed fitness publisher across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter [source: Tubular Labs, May 2020] and recently surpassed 5M subscribers on YouTube. The women’s publisher recently launched a new partnership with Old Navy to create the retailer’s first-ever tween clothing line, “PS x ON,” which is available in Canadian and American Old Navy locations.
