Melanie Notkin Biography:
Founder:
Notkin uncovered the growing demographics of childless women and given them a voice. To celebrate modern aunthood, in 2008, she founded SAVVY AUNTIE®, the multiplatform lifestyle brand for cool aunts, great aunts, godmothers and all women who love kids. In 2014, Notkin introduced Otherhood, the modern, growing demographic of women who, despite their deepest yearnings, remain single and childless as their fertile years wane.
Author:
SAVVY AUNTIE: The Ultimate Guide for Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers and All Women Who Love Kids (Morrow, 2011), was a Wall Street Journal best-seller.

When Notkin launched Savvy Auntie in 2008, she also uncovered the PANK® (Professional Aunts No Kids) demographic, the new marketing frontier of highly influential female consumers. Savvy Auntie and the PANK demographic are subsets of the OTHERHOOD™ brand.
As a marketer, Notkin was featured in The New York Times Sunday Style section for a national research study entitled The Power of the PANK which she co-released with Weber Shandwick and KRC Research in December 2012. In November 2013, the PANK was reported by Euromonitor International as the top travel trend. In April 2014, Shades of Otherhood, a national demographic study inspired by Notkin’s Otherhood, and with her deep involvement as consultant, was released by DeVries Global PR. It gained notoriety on UpWorthy.com.
