Glam's Foodie Still Tinkering With Recipe

Amidst changes Foodie struggles to keep users attention

After Glam Media launched the culinary social community Foodie in February—around the same time Pinterest blew up—Glam’s chief digital marketing officer Erin Matts noticed something.

Foodie’s most popular content—recipes—was attracting a lot of attention on the social scrapbooking site, likely driving traffic back to Foodie’s blog network. In fact, one recipe alone garnered 150,000 pins.

That trend now will have a hand in how Foodie, still in beta, takes shape. “It really does need to be visual,” Matts said.

Over the next month or so, Glam will launch a social ad product designed to echo Foodie’s highly stylized look, she said.
