TheSkimm was created in 2012 from the couch of two former television news producers. Their goal was to make it easier to live a smarter life by integrating into the routines for a target audience of female millennials. Since its inception, theSkimm now includes a daily newsletter, the SkimmApp and a social media presence on almost all platforms. With over 7 million subscribers, the founders of the Skimm have now written a New York Times Best Seller called How to Skimm Your Life. This book offers a no-nonsense guide to adulthood through topics such as finances, careers, stress management, global politics and many more.
