About

TheSkimm, a millennial-focused newsletter publisher, laid off approximately 22 employees, representing about 13% of its workforce, in early May 2023. This marked the company's second round of cuts this year, following a previous layoff of 17 people in January. The affected roles included top sales executives and creative leaders. The layoffs are attributed to a persistently challenging advertising market, with digital media facing significant revenue declines. Founded in 2012 and based in New York, TheSkimm expanded from its core newsletter into podcasts and other content but has struggled to diversify revenue and secure new funding amid slowing growth.
