ALDI Australia has teamed up with Digitas Australia to launch ALDIfy, a digital hub that turns viral food trends into easy-to-make, shoppable recipes using ALDI products. Shoppers can explore trending recipe cards, add ingredients to their lists, and recreate the dishes in-store or via the DoorDash app.
Developed through Publicis Groupe’s network, the platform uses the Cultural Fluency Tool to identify emerging food trends and transform them into recipes that highlight ALDI’s product range.
“With ALDIfy, we harnessed Publicis Groupe’s connected platform in media, creative, technology and data to make mealtime easier for consumers. It connects online inspiration and real-world accessibility, simplifying the journey from scroll to shop," said Sarah Heitkamp, National Head of Strategy & CX at Digitas.
