NEW YORK -- NBC Universal will invest in Sugar Publishing, Inc., owner of a network of Web sites focusing on young women, as a complement to its iVillage property, which skews towards an older demographic.
Under the terms of the agreement, NBCU will acquire a minority stake in Sugar, which publishes lifestyle and entertainment sites including flagship PopSugar, FabSugar, BellaSugar, BuzzSugar and others as part of its Sugar Network. NBCU's digital media sales team will handle Sugar's advertising inventory and the sites will share content with iVillage.
"IVillage's advertisers have access to a committed audience of women who are going through a spectrum of life stages, from dating to parenting, health and home," said iVillage president Deborah Fine. "With the addition of the Sugar Networks' inventory, that spectrum now includes young, trendsetting women who go online daily for gossip, advice and fashion."
This announcement comes amidst reports that iVillage is losing ground in the battle for female Internet users to upstart Glam Media.

NBC Universal's iVillage has unveiled iVillage Connect, a new social networking platform that is aimed at bringing the women's community site into the MySpace era.
The new platform -- which the site touts as being "the social network for grownups" -- lets iVillage users set up personal profiles through which they can share photos, blog and create various affinity groups. According to iVillage officials, iVillage Connect, which debuted in beta form this week, is meant to serve as the next evolution of the site's thousand-plus active message boards.
"Our first message boards sparked a revolution in how women communicated with each other," said iVillage president Deborah Fine. "It was social networking before the phrase was even coined. With the addition of these new tools, iVillage remains the ultimate social network for women."
To test out those new tools, iVillage has tapped its group of community leaders -- i.e. the women who host the site's various message boards, to test drive iVillage Connect.

NEW YORK -- NBC Universal's iVillage.com has launched its first branding campaign in more than five years, timed to coincide with this week's premiere of its interactive daytime talk show "iVillage Live," which already has integrated several advertisers in its first few days on the air.
The iVillage TV, print, outdoor and online branding campaign celebrates what it calls those "iVillage moments" that lead women to connect with one another, and turns the word "village" into a verb meaning "to connect" with the slogan "Let's Village".
"If to 'google' is to search, than to 'village' is to connect," iVillage Properties president Deborah Fine said. "It is those female moments of connection that have fueled the success of iVillage over the past 10 years and have kept nearly 17 million women coming back to this Web site in such a robust way. What's exciting about this campaign is it respects our heritage but also moves the brand forward by reflecting women today in the situations and moments where they relate to each other."
The three TV spots created with Kirshenbaum Bond + Partners for the campaign depict a male stranger touching a pregnant woman's belly as he asks her inappropriate questions, a young woman in a comedic exchange with a baker as she tries to convince herself that some breads have fewer carbs than others, and a woman panicking as she struggles to get out of a tight dress in a trendy boutique fitting room.
