SheerLuxe has received two of the most coveted accolades in digital publishing, winning ‘Best Online Brand’ at the AOP Awards and ‘Digital Brand of the Year’ at the PPA Awards. In addition, Charlotte Collins was honoured with the ‘Editor of the Year’ award at the AOPs, recognising her editorial leadership and creative vision.
Founded in 2007 by Georgie Coleridge Cole as a curated directory of online retailers, SheerLuxe has since grown into the UK’s leading digital lifestyle publisher. These latest wins mark a major milestone in the brand’s evolution and growing influence within the digital media space.
As a dual award winner, SheerLuxe has firmly established itself as a pioneering force in online publishing—producing trendsetting content that connects with a rapidly expanding audience. The brand’s reach surged to 5.5 million across digital platforms in 2024, representing a 266% increase over just two years. A strong focus on first-party data and engagement has allowed the platform to outperform many traditional media players.
The company’s multi-channel growth strategy continues to deliver results. Newsletter subscriptions grew to 560,000 in 2024 (a 27% rise), with standout performance metrics including a 62% open rate and 9% click-to-open rate. Around 90% of subscribers interact with SheerLuxe three times weekly.
On social media, SheerLuxe’s authentic and engaging content routinely garners millions of views. A behind-the-scenes video hit 3.4 million views and 192,000 likes, while TikTok followers surged by 2,709% since the platform’s launch in June 2022. Instagram followership also rose by 149% during 2024.
The company’s success is rooted in its people-first approach. SheerLuxe’s team focuses on meaningful audience connections and high-quality editorial output that is trend-aware and forward-thinking. This ethos has been central to Charlotte Collins’ recognition as ‘Editor of the Year’.
Charlotte’s award reflects her ability to lead with clarity and innovation, building a multi-platform editorial strategy that’s as commercially savvy as it is creative. She combines strong editorial instincts with a data-led approach, helping to drive growth, establish new partnerships, and launch high-impact campaigns.
SheerLuxe continues to push boundaries in digital media, setting the tone for what the future of publishing should look like. Its diversified revenue model, deep audience trust, and bold editorial direction ensure the brand remains at the forefront of the industry.
Georgie Coleridge Cole, founder and CEO of SheerLuxe, said:
“Eighteen years since we launched, it’s incredibly rewarding to win ‘Best Online Brand’ at the AOP and ‘Digital Brand Of The Year’ at the PPAs.

Charlotte Collins, editor-in-chief of SheerLuxe, added:
