Sequential Brands Group,
Inc. announced
on September 10, 2015 a partnership with Delivery Agent, Inc., the market
leader in turning audiences into customers for leading global brands, to power
digital commerce for the Jessica Simpson brand.
For the first phase of the launch, which
is set to debut with the 10th Anniversary of the brand, fans will
have the ability to shop Jessica Simpson products via her own branded digital
store at www.jessicasimpson.com. Subsequent launches will include shopping
through Delivery Agent's Smart TV app, ShopTV®, as well as via social media
platforms including Twitter.
"Our consumers and fans have always been
our top priority at the Jessica Simpson Collection," said Ms. Simpson. "As we
celebrate our 10 year anniversary, I am so excited to be able to offer my fans
the opportunity to directly connect with our merchandise. Shoppers will now be
able to visit the Jessica Simpson store online - I personally hand-picked my
favorite items for the launch across all categories. Soon our customers will be
able to purchase through buy buttons on the social channels they are using every
day."
"As we build the next chapter of the
Jessica brand story, it is essential to create an omni-channel experience," said
Jameel Spencer, Division President of Fashion & Entertainment at Sequential
Brands. "Providing an opportunity to engage directly with the fans, and provide
them with exclusive content, while transacting simultaneously, has always been a
goal of Jessica's. Through Delivery Agent's platform, we are able to expose her
fans to a totally new shopping experience."
Simpson has personally curated a
selection of hand-picked items from across the collection for the launch and
beyond, including a special 10th Anniversary capsule collection that
will be available to fans around the globe. Delivery Agent is empowering fans to
purchase and engage with items from the Jessica Simpson Collection and her
favorite styles across platforms and devices, from mobile to
television.
"Over the last 10 years, Jessica Simpson has catapulted her lifestyle
brand into a billion-dollar fashion-empire by engaging her global fan base,
as evidenced by her more than 12 million social media followers on Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest," said Mike Fitzsimmons, Delivery Agent CEO.
"As a result of this partnership, fans will be able to shop for Jessica Simpson
products on the digital platforms they engage with daily."
