Uses Precision Targeting and AI to Promote Products That Create a Personalized Experience for Consumers and Lead to Higher Conversion for Brands
Whisk, the world’s smartest food platform acquired by Samsung NEXT, announced the launch of the Sponsored Product platform. The new platform offers CPG brands and grocery retailers the ability to maximize sales by assisting their users’ grocery planning with useful product suggestions across the shopping journey from the point of recipe inspiration to the point of purchase.
Sponsored Products use precision targeting powered by Food AI to promote individual products in recipe and food content across 500 million monthly recipe impressions. Whisk Food AI leverages millions of data points about every ingredient in the world, its relationship to other ingredients, as well as each ingredient’s nutritional value, when it perishes, what it costs, and where to buy it.
