Food & Wine Celebrates 40 Years and a New Direction

Four decades after debuting as an insert in a 1978 issue of Playboy, Food & Wine’s 40th Anniversary campaign celebrates not only its 24,000 published recipes and its collaborations with world-renowned chefs, but also the year of growth the brand experienced across its digital, social, video, events and print platforms. “The goal is to definitely mark the occasion, to mark our 40th year as a brand,” says editor-in-chief Hunter Lewis. “And to celebrate the people who left such an indelible mark on our food culture at large in America, but also who have made their impact in the pages of Food & Wine.” While the 40th Anniversary Special Edition issue serves as a documentation of F&W’s impact on the culinary space in America—featuring 40 of the “best-ever” recipes from each year of the brand’s history and features from brand-favorite celebrity chefs—Lewis says that the campaign is meant to transcend the print edition in order to serve as an “evergreen package online,” and serve as a high performer in newsletters and on social, including through the participatory campaign on Instagram, #cookthe40. For F&W, hashtag challenges through social media, like calling readers to cook the 40 featured recipes in the 40th Anniversary issue, often serve as a way to capitalize on audience engagement in an attempt to make any of the brand’s campaigns to have a well-rounded reach across its platforms. “We wanted feedback from people from our audience. We wanted to have a... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
