Sponsored Recipes/Ingredients

Overview

Used by: Recipe sites
Example companies: Yummly, AllRecipes, Whisk
What: Real recipes are sponsored by a brand. This can be broken down into:

• Sponsored Recipes: Brand is tied to the recipe. For instance, Kraft Cheese's logo is attached to every nacho recipe
• Sponsored Ingredients: A brand's specific product is listed as an ingredient ("Kraft Cheddar Cheese" rather than just "cheddar cheese")

Why: Letting food brands sponsor recipes is a no-brainer. It's high-value to advertisers, and users are saved from obtrusive banner ads
Common targeting: Search keywords ("brownies"), category, past behavior
Common tracked events: Impressions, clicks, saves, whether directions were printed
Common platform models: Direct deals
