2. CONclussions
Czech culinary digital landscape is evolving. Digital is becoming
part of our lives. Because of it, our culinary attitudes are
changing.
Cookbooksaremainsourceofrecommendationswhenitcomestoreliable
sourcesofrecipes (52% of cooking for family and 44% of those who cook
in pair).. Promotional communication based on branded cookbooks might
be an opportunity for food brands, both in digital and offline.
Although web portals remain the most important digital touchpoint for

KPI`s, it`s worth either to build engagement around brand on Social Media
orawareness/salesthroughwebpage.ThosetwoKPI`sshouldbetreated

Brandsshouldkeepinmindcommunicationtomales–basedonsimplicity
and time-efficiency. 46% of consumers, most often who cook in pair, are
interested in such content. However most of the content is created by
and for females.
In scope of social media cooking is a social event. There are only 17% of
those who prefer to cook alone. The rest of us cook either in pairs or for
their closest.
Engaging content on Facebook and pro-motherhood commercials on You-
Tube has the biggest potential of reach in digital.

Marcin Krzosek
Managing Director
IRCenter
In the passing year we've had a chance to learn a lot more about
Czech culinary internet which in some aspects turned out to
have strong distinguishing features in comparison to other CEE
countries. What struck us most was the big/high share of young
people - cooking for themselves - who much more often than
others use internet while cooking. Based on projects run by us in
social media appears, we were able to create a picture of those
who use their platforms to engage this young audience. Here lies
themaindistinctionofCzechs.ContrarytootherCentralEuropean
nations,youngCzechsfollowmediadevotedtohealthylifestyle.In
other CEE countries, the subject is taken up mainly by older users.
What is more, Czechs favorite sports also distinguish them from
others: teenage girls prefer fitness, while teenage boys usually go
to the gym. Poles, Romanians or Hungarians, if they are interested
insports,theychoosebikingorrunning. Thisfactmayhaveasignifi-
cant influence on the effectiveness of standardized regional mar-
ketingactivationsorcommunicationstrategyofnutritionbrands,
aimed at the growing segment of digital users.

13. keynote ii
Our Czech internet research is gaining its momentum. We listen
whatCzechsaresharingonlinewhilesearchinginformationforour
customers. We do this to better understand the nature of Czech
social media.
SentiOne and IRCenter decided to conduct a joint study that would
lead to a better understanding of where and when the Czechs
share their opinions on culinary topics.
Our analysis confirmed the stereotype - it’s mostly women who
use to talk about culinary topics online. Men in the internet don’t
like to share their kitchen insights. However the results of beer
online discussion monitoring are quite different - over 70% of
opinions were written by men in the past year.
Czechs are mainly discussing recipes on Facebook, less on portals
and internet forums, and little on culinary blogs. As far as time is
concerned, Czechs are mostly discussing culinary topics during
winter months i.e. December and January and the least in August.
Professional social media monitoring is vital both for any digital
strategy implementation and for successful online communica-
tion activities. The internet and social media have become a force
that cannot be ignored by brands anymore.
