As of this month, consumer packaged goods brands partnering with AdAdapted can target ads to consumers using SideChef and other apps provided by SideChef Group Ltd.

“As consumers grow more engaged with online shopping and continue to cook at home, apps like SideChef and its ecosystem provide tremendous content that eases meal prep, shopping and cooking,” noted Molly McFarland, co-founder and chief revenue officer of Ann Arbor, Mich.-based AdAdapted, which helps CPG companies advertise across third-party networks, shopping lists, recipes and more. “We are thrilled to be working with these solutions to offer our CPG partners an excellent way to get their brands in front of consumers, onto shopping lists and, ultimately, into carts.”
