More stylish than ever.

Publisher David McIntyre said "It's a great honor. It's a great time to be ZOOZOOM. From the beginning our main focus has been producing original high-end content. We believe Web 3.0 will be about professionally produced content, and now after six years it feels like the industry is moving towards our model. Major fashion houses are advertising with us and our inventory is sold out. This reinforces our ongoing position as one of the premium fashion destinations."

ZOOZOOM prides itself on its content and design. They commission their own fashion and beauty editorials that are comparable in quality and creativity to high-end, glossy print magazines. The resulting features are presented large, so you can see every stitch. But the other side of the ZOOZOOM success story is their non- intrusive full-screen advertising delivery system which is returning results that are breaking industry records: select campaigns are enjoying click-through rates of over 27%. Currently, one major online fashion store is also sponsoring ZOOZOOM's editorial fashion and providing stockist links direct to their store. You can click through and buy any of 19 items direct from the editorial.

ZOOZOOM's viewers commended ZOOZOOM with these statements during the Webby People's Voice Awards:

"Fashion is a disease and ZOOZOOM is the cure!"

"Unquestionably the best! Not only best on the web, but ZOOZOOM would easily be best in print and all other forms of media. Constantly updating the material, ZOOZOOM is razor sharp at the cutting edge. Everything from editorials to advertising, ZOOZOOM is light years ahead of the pack. The folks at ZOOZOOM do not skimp on anything; therefore, they are unequaled in class, integrity, and innovation..."

"ZOOZOOM has the best writing team ever assembled for an online Fashion Mag. Kudos."
Romy Emmanuel

"I LOVE ZOOZOOM! Gorgeous photos that are big and bold, a great fashion point of view, provocative and inspirational. Did I mention Gorgeous? I love it and maybe if Bob Geldof had ZOOZOOM, he would have had a reason to love Mondays..."

"The medium is the message ...like an international glossy magazine you'd pay 20 bucks for, free and constantly updated."

"The Webby Awards honor the outstanding work that is setting the standards for the Internet," said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards. "ZOOZOOM's nomination is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators."
