On the heels of BravoTV.com earning its best year ever in site traffic, 61 percent growth year over year in monthly visitors, and with an all-time high in the month of December with 12.1M unique visitors, Bravo Media is rolling out a series of new lifestyle content platforms featuring food, travel, home design and relationships. "The Feast," is the first initiative to kick off tapping into fans' appetites for food-based content and building on the success of The Daily Dish, the network's pop culture blog, which has garnered triple-digit growth over the past year.
The Feast will highlight a carefully curated selection of unique and compelling food experiences, from exotic dishes to decadent culinary destinations. Featuring a highly responsive design making it easy to browse content no matter what device users are on, this new digital platform will showcase fresh editorial features including national restaurant guides, profiles of chefs from around the globe, deep dives into the hottest culinary trends, listicles and more. Example content include "Five Hot Liquors You Don't Know About Yet," "Surprisingly Delicious Desserts Made with Meat" and "Soon-To-Open Restaurants We're Most Excited About in 2016."
