Her Campus Media, the #1 media company for college women and 360-degree college marketing agency, announced today that it has acquired Spoon University, the leading Gen Z-focused media property in the food space. The deal marks Her Campus Media's third acquisition in recent months. Spoon University will join the company's portfolio of brands, which in addition to flagship brand Her Campus now also includes College Fashionista (acquired August 2019), InfluenceHer Collective, and Her20s (acquired May 2019 as the Lala and rebranded).

Spoon University was founded at Northwestern University in 2013 by Sarah Adler and Mackenzie Barth, and since then it has developed a massive digital and social footprint that boasts 2.7MM+ Facebook followers and 370K+ Instagram followers, and grown to a community of thousands of members with chapters at over 200 campuses worldwide. Powered by the brand's proprietary, patent-pending 'Secret Sauce' technology platform, the website's content is provided by college content creators. Spoon University also offers its annual Brainfood conference, print book How to Feed Yourself (Penguin Random House, 2018), and has partnered with major food brands to power their college marketing through digital, experiential, influencer, and event-based offerings.
