'People' Debuts New Service Verticals: 'People Food,' 'People Home'

People is adding two new multiplatform service verticals, People Food and People Home, to its print magazine and Web site.

The expansion includes additional editorial and video content and new dedicated social media profiles.

According to a spokesperson, the verticals open up new sponsorship opportunities for brands to work with the publication.

People has hired additional staff to launch People Home and People Food and has plans to branch out with more travel, pets and family content in the near future, the spokesperson added.

The expanded lifestyle content will give readers more access to the homes and lifestyles of their favorite entertainers, celebrity chefs and design stars.

“[The verticals are] full of tips, advice and hacks to help you go from feeling ordinary to extraordinary. And it’s designed (like everything we do) to entertain, empower and inspire,” Cagle stated.
