Strategy and business update

Marketers allocate more towards digital advertising - because it works*

Brands & retailers need AdTech

  • Map a high-fidelity consumer journey to deliver relevant customer experiences and drive customer lifetime value.
  • Target and reach consumers at scale recommendations in brand- safe environments on the open internet.

Media owners & retailers increasingly depend on AdTech to monetise their audiences & data

  • Data deprecation badly hurts both retailers and media.
  • Big retailers depend on AdTech to optimise the yield of their inventory and drive growth.

Marketers need better commerce media

  • Marketers heavily rely on walled gardens for advertising.
  • But transparency and measurement not always up to brands and retailers standards
  • Growing privacy issues around targeting for advertising limit open internet addressability.

Multiple factors driving Retail Media growth

  • Shift of trade spend from physical retail to digital
  • Desire for advertising that is measurable against product sales and targetable without 3rd party cookies

Retail clients leveraging the synergies between retail media and marketing solutions

Criteo Marketing Solutions helped La Redoute prioritise families along the full funnel, to drive loyalty, engage new users with similar profiles, all with a very competitive ROI.

La Redoute also relies on Criteo Retail Media's solutions to activate premium and native Retail Media ads for big and small events of everyday life.

myToys Group is partnering with Criteo Retail Media.

Criteo is supporting myToys:

  • to monetize the inventory in their online shop (mytoys.de) and
  • to win brand budgets for onsite (native & display) as well as offsite campaigns.

myToys thus benefits from additional revenue streams and an increase in brand engagement.
