About

Global leader in commerce media and dynamic retargeting, transitioning from retargeting specialist to full-stack commerce media platform

Criteo is a leading commerce media platform headquartered in Paris, France, with significant operations globally including a major U.S. presence in New York. Founded in 2005, Criteo pioneered dynamic retargeting technology that personalizes ads based on individual browsing and purchase behavior, helping advertisers re-engage shoppers across the web. The company has evolved from a pure-play retargeting vendor into a full-stack commerce media platform, offering solutions spanning audience targeting, retail media, offsite advertising, and monetization tools for publishers and retailers. Criteo's Commerce Growth product suite focuses on helping brands and agencies drive measurable sales outcomes through AI-powered personalization, leveraging one of the largest commerce datasets in the industry — encompassing billions of shopping events across thousands of retailer partners. Its Retail Media offering enables retailers to monetize their digital properties by connecting brands with high-intent shoppers at the point of purchase. The company serves over 20,000 marketers and thousands of media owners globally, positioning itself as a critical infrastructure layer in the commerce advertising ecosystem. As a publicly traded company on NASDAQ, Criteo competes with major players including The Trade Desk, LiveRamp, and retail media networks like Amazon Advertising and Walmart Connect. Criteo differentiates itself through its proprietary Shopper Graph, privacy-first identity solutions, and deep integrations with both the buy-side and sell-side of the advertising market. The company has made strategic acquisitions including Iponweb (2022) to bolster its bidding and marketplace technology capabilities.
