COLOGNE – The newly formed Brand Safety Institute and the Trustworthy Accountability Group are pushing the digital advertising industry to invest billions of dollars to fight criminal elements in the same way as the financial services industry has done. It’s a two-step process consisting of “a short game and a long game,” says Mike Zaneis, […]

COLOGNE – At Salesforce, the acquisitions keep on coming, most recently that of AI-powered marketing intelligence and analytics platform Datorama. The company’s ongoing mantra is “integration” and it seems to have no shortage of assets to leverage in that quest. It all stems from what Chris O’Hara, VP, Product Marketing, calls the “fourth industrial revolution” […]

COLOGNE – In the midst of “one of the biggest stories of our lives, from a news perspective,” many viewers who don’t access CNN in the traditional way are watching CNNgo via connected televisions, with dwell and session times of “more than an hour and a half,” says Chris Berend, SVP, Global Video. “The audiences are coming to […]

COLOGNE – There are cultural and regulatory differences, but the television industry in Europe and the United States realizes it needs more unity to meet advertisers’ expectations. And the buy-side is ready to go, even though more tools are needed to fully realize advanced TV, according to FreeWheel’s Dave Clark. From his position as GM, […]

COLOGNE – As it extends beyond its roots of helping retailers with consumer ad retargeting, Criteo is building a new tech stack around platforms to help online retailers monetize their inventory. “They know we are sitting on a pile of data and data is gold, and they want to know how to use it,” says […]

COLOGNE – With its global programming footprint projected to reach more than 80 territories by year’s end, VICE Media today announced VICE Video Everywhere to make buying its advertising easier across mobile, digital and linear platforms. “The market is crying for more video.

Header bidding, the technology tactic through which publishers can entertain multiple bids for ad inventory simultaneously in order to maximize the chance of higher bid prices, has grown in momentum over the last couple of years. But Criteo didn’t anticipate this kind of demand. When the ad-tech company launched Criteo Direct Bidder, one of its header […]

Europe’s new consumer data privacy rules have been touted as having a massive impact on the digital advertising world. But, for companies and countries which already sing from the same hymnsheet, could the impact be muted? In this video interview with Beet.TV, one of the biggest ad-tech companies discusses the likely effects – or non-effects […]

It wasn’t supposed to be this good. When Apple introduced Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) in September, ad targeter Criteo said its revenue would be slightly impacted. With Europe’s new GDPR privacy rules also looming, some observers were saying Criteo was toast. But it hasn’t quite turned out that way. On Wednesday, publicly-listed Criteo reported annual revenue […]

Looming legislation that will change the rules of the game for ad tracking may be regarded by some with fear – but could Europe’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) actually be beneficial for everyone? For the uninitiated, the GDPR came in to effect back in 2016, whilst the final deadline for compliance comes this […]

Europe’s looming new data protection rules, which strength consumer protections and will require data handlers and processors to gain explicit consent from users, are scaring a lot of businesses that hold data on people. But GDPR, whose final deadline comes on May 25, doesn’t have to be scary, and companies don’t have to look at […]

It is the Big Daddy of the ecommerce world and sometimes seemed to have dominated the consumer sales channel even for big brands. But Amazon is a force that can be competed against if retailers come together and get smarter with their data. That is according to one ad-tech chief hoping to leverage data scale […]

Most histories document a 2005 start date, but, to its current CEO, 2007 was the year Criteo really got going. Eric Eichmann’s milestone means the much-talked-about advertising technology company is now celebrating its tenth year. During that time, Criteo raised $250m from an IPO that valued it at $800m and courted attention for popularising the […]

Long lauded as the exemplar of ad retargeting, veteran ad-tech outfit Criteo is still investing in building out its product suite farther. This time, it is focused on personalising video ads and matching ad data with brands’ own customer data. Criteo already announced its Criteo Commerce Marketing Ecosystem back in the summer, a network of […]

COLOGNE – There’s a school of thought that says most online retailers cannot compete with the likes of Amazon and Alibaba. The folks at Criteo don’t think so, which is why they have architected “a kind of alternative universe” in which ecommerce companies not only survive but thrive. Despite “doom and gloom” sentiments about competing […]

It’s hard enough for brands to deal with the leviathan that is Amazon.com. It doesn’t get any easier when those brands also are dependent on many different retailers to sell their products. Performance marketing technology provider Criteo, perhaps best known for its online consumer retargeting expertise, is leveraging its learning loop capabilities to assist not […]

About a year ago, performance marketing technology provider Criteo had a lock on lots of e-commerce companies. What it lacked was access to brand marketers that did not have their own e-commerce sites. “Those brands have a challenge in creating a performance solution because the sales are actually measured in third-party ecommerce sites that they […]

Ad retargeting has become known for serving users with ads for products they have already looked up on the Internet. So could the same work for video? Not yet, according to a man from one of the top display ad retargeting services. “To do a really quality job with video retargeting, you have to have […]
