Known as a “Global Media Empire for Women,” Mogul encourages its audience to share ideas, solicit advice, and interact with other community members on the platform. Users can view trending content including stories, products, and jobs which are personalized to their interests, location, or career. Users can then upvote, downvote, comment on, and share the published content.

In 2016, Mogul launched the #IAmAMogul campaign partnering with notable influencers including Chelsea Clinton, Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, Kelly Osbourne, Laura Prepon, Lindsey Stirling, Lizzie Velásquez, Christina Bennett Lind, Fran Hauser, Phillipa Soo, and Paige Howard. The campaign was launched to "inspire all women to realize that they too can be moguls, and that they have the power to shape the world through their voices and actions." Other significant campaigns include the #DayInTheLife series, enabling women worldwide to showcase their differences and yet numerous similarities at the human level.

In 2016, Mogul also premiered the Ask A Mogul Anything series, created by Emmy Award-winning producer of Good Morning America & CNN Mary Pflum.
