Seven West Media is targeting NewsLifeMedia’s Taste.com.au with the launch of its digital food destination foodiful.com.au.

Foodiful’s launch will coincide with Seven West Media’s coverage of the Rio Olympic Games and will be supported with Seven’s TV program Zumbo’s Just Desserts and through Better Homes and Gardens TV.
It will also be promoted with 10 and 15 second TV spots, print advertisements, social and digital support across Seven West Media and a target, audience conversion, SEM and acquisition strategy.
Gereurd Roberts, general manager, food, family and home at Pacific Magazines, said: “Practical, friendly, and accessible, Foodiful stands out from the crowd as a food brand with personality.
“It combines the world’s best shopper marketing technology with Australia’s best food content to save our users both time and money.
“Simple yet innovative ideas help users enjoy an easier and better life in the kitchen with the inspiration, knowledge and technology to take the grocery shop to a new level – and deliver amazing food to the table.”
