Criteo Expands Go with Full Self-Service Access to Its Ai-Powered Performance Platform Criteo announced the expansion of its GO platform with full self-service access for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and growth-stage commerce brands. Criteo GO enables advertisers to independently create an account, enter billing details, and launch campaigns in as few as five clicks. By expanding access to Criteo's AI-powered performance capabilities, the company can scale to a wider advertiser base while delivering measurable outcomes across the shopper journey. Designed to simplify activation and dynamically allocate budgets across channels, Criteo GO unifies display, video, native, and social within a single campaign environment. The platform automatically optimizes spend to drive the best outcome, while built-in generative AI creative tools produce and adapt ad formats, including video, to maintain consistent, high-performing messaging across channels. GO campaigns have already demonstrated strong performance in the market. Campaigns that include social activation deliver more than 20% higher return on ad spend (ROAS) compared to traditional configurations. This performance has contributed to increased advertiser investment and lower churn, reinforcing Criteo GO's role as a durable growth driver for the company. As consumer touchpoints fragment across platforms, channels, and devices, many legacy tools remain confined to closed ecosystems, limiting reach and transparency for marketers. Criteo GO addresses this challenge by harnessing the scale of its global commerce data, including 740 million daily shoppers, $1T in annual transactions, and 5 billion product SKUs to help brands engage high-intent consumers wherever they discover and shop online. Criteo GO's Onboarding Agent is available, marking a significant step forward in advancing Criteo's agentic capabilities. By forecasting results and automatically configuring key parameters, the Onboarding Agent reflects Criteo's vision of an AI-powered ecosystem where campaigns are not only automated but intelligently guided from launch to scale. Criteo GO's self-service capabilities are now available in the U.S. and U.K., with plans to expand to other markets later this year. Annonce • Feb 05
Criteo Introduces Agentic Commerce Recommendation Service to Power AI Shopping Assistants Criteo introduced its Agentic Commerce Recommendation Service, designed to power AI shopping assistants with accurate, relevant product recommendations built on Criteo's commerce intelligence. LM platforms are rapidly evolving into AI shopping assistants, while retailers develop their own AI chatbots,encing how consumers discover, compare, and purchase products online. As these AI-driven shopping experiences scale, AI assistants need a commerce-grade recommendation infrastructure that drives outcome-based relevancy by accessing real shopping behavior, not just publicly available product descriptions, to deliver the trusted and personalized results that consumers expect. This approach builds on Criteo's previously published agentic commerce vision. Built on Criteo's Commerce intelligence, its Agentic Commerce Recommendation service delivered up to a 60% improvement in recommendation relevancy compared to third-party approaches based only on product descriptions in Criteo's testing 1. This performance is enabled by the company's unmatched scale of 720 million daily shoppers, $1T in annual transactions, and 4.5 billion product SKUs. The service is available through Criteo's Model Context Protocol (MCP) and directly connects AI-powered shopping assistants with merchant inventory, translating consumer shopping queries into curated, transaction-ready product recommendations. It enables AI assistants to surface the most relevant products for each individual consumer by applying real-world shopping and purchase signals that cannot be accessed through traditional c sprawling tactics. AI assistant query: The AI assistant queries Criteo's Agentic Commerce Recommendation Service to identify relevant products. Commerce intelligence-powered filtering: Criteo applies real-world shopping and purchase signal to filter and rank products based on what is most relevant for that individual consumer, considering nuances such as product popularity, availability, and user intent. Curated results: Criteo returns a curated shortlist of product recommendations, rather than raw catalog data. Annonce • Jan 21

Criteo Reportedly Explores Sale Criteo S.A. (NasdaqGS:CRTO) is making a new attempt to sell itself after discussions with potential acquirers in previous years proved unsuccessful, according to people familiar with the matter. The Paris-based company, which is listed in New York, kicked off a sale process last week that could attract other companies and private equity firms, one of the sources said. Investment bank Evercore Inc. (EVR.N) is advising Criteo on the process, the sources added. Bloomberg News reported in 2021 that Criteo was fielding takeover interest. It was not immediately clear what prompted the new deal talks. The company has been seeking to reassure shareholders it can overcome challenges to its business of tracking consumer data as iPhone maker Apple Inc. (AAPL.O) and Android developer Google (GOOGL.O) tighten privacy standards on their devices. The sources, who cautioned that no deal is certain, requested anonymity as these discussions are confidential. Criteo declined to comment, while an Evercore spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The sale process for Criteo will likely pique the interest of buyout firms that have shown strong interest in audience measurement and analytics companies. In October, Elliott Investment Management's private equity arm and Brookfield Business Partners LP (BBU.N) acquired Nielsen Holdings Plc for $16 billion. Truist analyst Matthew Thornton wrote in a note to clients after the Reuters report that his analysis indicated Criteo could fetch more than $60 per share if it was acquired at the same valuation multiple as Nielsen.
