NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gallery Media Group's women's lifestyle brand PureWow alongside Cogent World today announced their new experiential space, House of Wow.

"Partnering with Gallery Media Group to execute their vision of one-of-a-kind experiences is a dream project for our agency" said Mark Zablow, CEO of Cogent World. "The risk of launching a property in this climate is very familiar to us and the value of having PureWow's diverse partners will invigorate downtown New York with tremendous cultural relevance."

Alongside partners Samsung, Clinique, Wayfair, and more, House of Wow programming will vary depending upon the day. Planned events include a night of cocktail and dessert pairings, a holiday beauty takeover, an intimate home decor trends panel, new mom meet-ups, Web3 discussions, a sampling event with the newest faces in wellness, live podcast tapings of Gallery Media Group's favorite shows, a living gallery presenting rotating prominent female NFTs, and an evening all about how to survive the holidays.

"We're thrilled to partner with PureWow to bring Clinique products and expertise directly to consumers at House of Wow," said Sameer Agarwal, VP for Clinique North America Marketing. "This is a great opportunity for us to share what makes Clinique so unique in beauty, in an environment that is so engaging for consumers."

House of Wow is the first in-real-life activation from PureWow of this scale and will run from October-December of 2022. It builds on previous activations from Gallery Media Group including ONE37pm's Clubhouse, and PureWow's annual Hamptons event.
