But societal changes and a shift in gender roles in the home are making it essential for brands to keep up with a growing demographic of men who are actively involved in feeding their families.
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) November 21, 2011
With men doing more cooking and shopping for the household, Upshot, a Chicago-based marketing agency, conducted an exploratory survey to understand the reasons behind the rising trend of domesticated dads. It’s more than a culture shift. It’s an emotional choice.
Dads are cooking more to spend quality time with their families and to “feel” good about it. Marketers can count on this new type of epicurean dad to develop into a long-standing demographic that will only continue to grow.

“Traditional grocery shopper marketing efforts have focused on moms and playing up an ignorant or “dumb dad” stereotype,” said Liz Aviles, Upshot’s Vice President of Market Intelligence. “But societal changes and a shift in gender roles in the home are making it essential for brands to keep up with a growing demographic of men who are actively involved in feeding their families.”
