THE DAILY MEAL ANNOUNCES MORE RECORD RESULTS VIA COMSCORE
Spanfeller Media Group’s Maiden Website Is the Fastest Growing of Its Kind
New York, NY (August 16, 2012)—The Daily Meal—Spanfeller Media Group’s mega food site—today announced an unprecedented growth rate through the month of July. According to comScore’s latest report, The Daily Meal now ranks among the top ten in its competitor landscape - websites offering a full-bodied content model dedicated to food and drink. These results further bolster The Daily Meal as the fastest growing website of its kind.
Recounting comScore’s previous report, The Daily Meal grew a record 156% in the month of June and outperformed several well-known competitors along the way, including Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, and Saveur. This past month, The Daily Meal experienced yet another 12% growth, continuing to excel as a comprehensive digital platform covering all things food and drink, including news, recipes, travel, celebrity chefs, restaurant reviews and social integration.
“According to Google Analytics, The Daily Meal now reaches over 5 million culinary enthusiasts worldwide,” said Jim Spanfeller, CEO of Spanfeller Media Group. “In just 19 months, we have established ourselves as a frontrunner in the food and beverage category, and we fully expect our hyper growth phase to continue into the 4th Quarter of this year."
The recipe for The Daily Meal’s success is largely reflected in its stalwart content model: producing a wider selection of premium content than anyone else, and at a faster pace. The site also boasts a fully incorporated social community, an extensive video network, and the newly released “Best Dishes” mobile app.
