Time Inc. Partners with GameOn to Bring Real Simple to Facebook Messenger Just in Time for the Holidays

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- GameOn, an industry leading mobile engagement platform helping premium content providers improve the fan experience, today announced a partnership with Time Inc. to bring Real Simple to Facebook Messenger, giving consumers holiday gift guide advice, daily finds, and content delivery.

Real Simple on Messenger is designed to meet two core audience needs: Gift Guide Helper and daily content delivery.

• At any time, users can engage the Gift Guide Helper for help finding the ideal present for someone on their list. Real Simple on Messenger will ask a few basic questions, and return a group of the brand's gift guides based on their answers.
• The editorial team at Real Simple will deliver daily tips, tricks, gifts, and recipes to subscribers through Messenger, so hosting the perfect holiday party is easier than ever before.

"GameOn has learned a lot building chat technology for sports fans over the past several years," said Alex Beckman, Founder and CEO of GameOn. "We started to see trends in our data and repeated user behavior suggesting that what we built for sports fans would support the needs and desires of fans of more than just sports. Our investment in our tech stack and team has made this growth opportunity feel natural and we look forward to tackling an even bigger opportunity with amazing partners like Time Inc." 

"Interacting with our audience and having genuine two-way conversations gives us countless opportunities to highlight all of Real Simple's great editorial content that readers have come to depend on during the holiday season," said Regina Buckley, SVP, Digital Business Development and Business Operations at Time Inc. "Finding new and efficient ways to serve our content, when and where the reader needs us, is the future of our digital strategy."
