The Food Innovation Group is home to legacy brands like Bon Appétit, but in the shift to digital, the magazine has become a complement to Bon Appétit's digital and social offerings. With the majority of the group's revenue now also coming from digital, it's embracing programmatic advertising.

"Programmatic is an activation method versus a buying strategy. If display [advertising] is a function of getting more programmatic, there's a huge opportunity to streamline and create less friction [in transactions]," said Craig Kostelic, chief business officer of Food Innovation Group and Condé Nast's Lifestyle Collection, on this week's Digiday Podcast.
