The Founders of Ad Agency Figliulo&Partners Launch Quiddity, a Video-Based Review and Lifestyle Site
Quiddity – a first-of-its-kind, video-based review and lifestyle site that celebrates the culture of shopping – is launching today with six initial product categories: meal kits, renters insurance, wireless headphones, mattresses, blenders and wearable trackers, with many more on the horizon. The platform features comprehensive buyers' guides; deeply-researched product pages; and high-quality and completely original aspirational articles and video series to inspire and inform an audience of urban millennials.
The new publisher was founded by the marketing experts behind the AdAge A-List agency Figliulo&Partners, and the name comes from a philosophical concept regarding the essential nature or "whatness" of an object. The site stems from the belief that the perfect product is rooted in an individual's preferences, and the multi-media platform goes deep with other shoppers, experts, brands and retailers to help consumers find the ideal product for them.
"Our overall mission is to help brands and consumers understand each other better," said
Advertising is built on great storytelling, and Quiddity seeks to bring that skillset and emotion to the highly rational world of review sites. It is a place where shopping enthusiasts enjoy inspirational stories and researchers find the most unbiased, digestible product information.
To satisfy today's data-driven shopper, Quiddity has created the Quid Score, a proprietary algorithm that for the first time combines the four perspectives people rely on to make better decisions: experts, other shoppers, retailers and brands:
- The Expert Score: The cumulative average score of every well respected and reputable expert review Quiddity's researchers can find, from Wired and
The New York Times to CNET and PC Mag. - The Customer Score: The cumulative average score of every customer review Quiddity's researchers can find, from Amazon and big-box retailers to a small mom-and-pop shops.
- The Brand Score: An evaluation that measures each brand's heritage, innovation, reliability, social good and relevance, taking into account factors including Alexa rankings, social footprint, corporate responsibility and brand sentiment.
- The Retail Value Index: An index of the lowest price of a product relative to the average price of the entire category.
"We call our audience Searchers; they love everything about shopping from the dreaming part to the deep researching stage," said Quiddity Editor

"The purchasing process has never been more clouded for the consumer than it is today, and an overabundance of choice and information has been shown to lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. Quiddity serves the needs of people who are actively looking for information to help them choose. We meet consumers on their terms with information that is highly useful, as well as content that is highly inspirational," said
The team behind Quiddity has ambitious goals for the platform, with aggressive category expansion planned in 2018 as well as the development of more high-quality video content to serve the needs of today's shoppers. The company is collaborating with brands and retailers on custom content as well as creating bespoke affiliate revenue relationships.
