November 17, 2023 (New York, NY) – theSkimm, a mission-driven digital media company, announced its first-ever Winter Wanderland, an IRL series of interactive installations that nod at the seasonal fun and cheer visitors can only experience at Manhattan’s most iconic shopping destination, Brookfield Place. Winter Wanderland was ideated and executed by theSkimm’s SKM Lab, its in-house creative agency that launched in March 2023 as an evolution of its longtime branded content work for advertising clients.

“Through the SKM Lab capabilities, we are able to leverage our direct insights from this audience to create the best experiences for our partners, and in ways we know will mobilize them — whether that’s online, through social & video, or in real life,” says Mary Murcko, Chief Revenue Officer of theSkimm. “We are so thrilled to partner with Brookfield Place for the second year in a row by helping infuse surprise and delight into the holiday season for shoppers.”

Launching November 24, theSkimm will offer a one-of-a-kind interactive experience for Brookfield Place shoppers as we invite them to explore four festive photo moments positioned throughout the magical Winter Garden at Brookfield Place. Installations include a life-size holiday gift box with a throne of stacked gifts, an extravagant open-air snow globe, and an iconic LED-illuminated snowflake tunnel. Visitors are also invited to stop by theSkimm’s holiday cocoa & greeting card bar where they can enjoy free delicious hot cocoa, courtesy of Brookfield Place’s vendors Devon & Blakey and Mah Ze Dahr, and grab a Skimm-original holiday card to accompany their newly purchased gifts from the shops at Brookfield Place. This is available for a limited time from December 11 to 17 from 4-6 PM.
