Food52, a leading innovator in the food, cooking, and home space, and Chicory, the leading contextual commerce advertising platform, today announced their strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the site's revenue generation capabilities and elevating the shopping experience for Food52's recipe enthusiasts. Chicory's contextual advertising and shoppable technology solutions seamlessly integrate with digital recipe content, empowering Food52's audience to discover, purchase, and enjoy culinary products with unparalleled convenience and efficiency.
"Food52 has a goal of building community and making it easier for people to discover great content and shop for the items they need in their kitchen and home," said Matt Greenberg, SVP, head of B2B at Food52. "Partnering with Chicory helps us deliver on that promise and helps our community of 30M shop the best ingredients across our vast library of recipes. For our brand partners, it gives us another opportunity to meaningfully connect with our community as they shop and buy across our platform."
As part of this partnership, over 50,000 Food52 recipes are now powered by Chicory's signature shoppable ingredients button. The shoppable technology allows site visitors to purchase the ingredients for their favorite recipes in just a few clicks. Chicory's integrations with more than 60 leading retailers enable visitors to complete their checkout at their preferred retailer in their area.
In addition to deploying Chicory's shoppable ingredients button, Food52 will monetize its recipe cards using Chicory Premium, a solution consisting of contextual in-recipe advertisements. Chicory's proprietary natural language processing algorithm ensures that the featured ads are hyper-relevant to the recipe content on the page, improving the overall user experience for site visitors and driving incremental sales for brands and retailers.
The partnership also allows Food52 to leverage Chicory's advertising sponsorship tactics, including Branded Cart and Featured Retailer, directly with its advertisers. This further enhances Food52's revenue generation capabilities and provides additional opportunities for brands and retailers to win the digital shelf via the Food52 site.
"We are excited to partner with Food52, a prominent and innovative player in the culinary industry," said Joey Petracca, co-founder and COO of Chicory. "Chicory's contextual commerce solutions will empower Food52 to monetize its content effectively while enabling CPGs to connect with high-intent shoppers, increase brand affinity, and drive products to cart. Together, we aim to elevate the online shopping experience for at-home chefs."
The partnership between Food52 and Chicory is helping propel the grocery e-commerce industry forward, providing a seamless and personalized shopping experience for the everyday cook and enhanced visibility and engagement opportunities for CPG brands.

LoopMe, a leading technology company that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve brand advertising performance, today announced that it has joined the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), the leading self-regulatory association comprised exclusively of third-party digital advertising companies. LoopMe’s NAI membership certifies that the entirety of LoopMe’s data protection and privacy practices and processes are in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations that protect the collection, storage, and use of consumer data.
“We are delighted to join the NAI with its hugely respected independent seal of approval that companies increasingly look for when selecting advertising business partners,” said Paolo Cerroni, VP of Legal, LoopMe. “This latest validation is a strong signal to the industry and demonstrates LoopMe’s commitment to brand integrity, consumer trust, data protection, and compliance with applicable legislation and industry standards.”
To be accepted as a member, LoopMe completed the NAI’s thorough application form, which sought to understand the entirety of LoopMe’s data protection and privacy practices and processes globally, but with a focus on the U.S. LoopMe also reviewed the NAI’s member requirements to ensure compliance with each obligation and the latest updates to U.S. legislation and regulation. This included reviewing and updating LoopMe’s Privacy Policy to ensure that users are fully and clearly informed as to how their data will be collected, processed and stored, and how they can exercise their rights, such as opting out.
“AI is impacting all aspects of digital communications, and it’s great to see industry leaders like LoopMe committing to be champions for privacy protections through membership in the NAI,” said Leigh Freund, President and CEO of the NAI. “We’re looking forward to working with LoopMe to explore how AI matching supply with demand in digital advertising can evolve in ways that inspire consumer trust and effective ads.”
While widely applicable, the NAI membership is an external certification confirming that LoopMe’s practices and processes satisfy the needs of clients with the strictest data protection standards, such as pharmaceutical companies and media buyers at agencies and brands.
The NAI membership adds a US-focused data privacy certification alongside LoopMe’s other global external certifications and validations. These include the EDAA Trust Deal awarded by the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance Membership (EDAA) and the E-Privacy certification, both following a similarly in-depth external audit of the entirety of LoopMe’s data protection and privacy practices.
