Taste.com.au has launched Taste Test Kitchen, a new destination for everything consumers need to know to discover, buy and master kitchen appliances, gadgets and products.
Bringing the trust, authority and scale of Australia’s number one food media brand to a new dedicated vertical, features reviews, videos, how-to content and thousands of recipes that utilise kitchen appliances, with consumers able to shop directly from the content on pages and videos.
Brodee Myers-Cooke, editor-in-chief of Taste.com.au, said: “The Aussie passion for appliances is one of the biggest trends in food we’ve seen in decades. With 52 million page views* of appliance-related content on taste.com.au over the past year, it is our fastest-growing content type and a top search term.
“In launching Taste Test Kitchen we have created a full-funnel experience for both our consumers and clients. The new vertical guides consumers from inspiration, expert reviews and product selection, through to transaction and post-purchase how-to content. It also offers our clients the opportunity to become an essential part of the purchase journey by integrating their products within a new range of commercial content solutions.”
