Send audiences to Criteo Retail Media

Criteo Retail Media supports the following types of campaigns:

  • Offsite campaigns inspire purchases and boost brand awareness with eye-catching display formats and engaging video ads. They aim to reach the advertisers’ target audiences wherever they are, outside of the retailers’ websites.

  • Onsite display campaigns try to reach, influence, and engage shoppers at the point of purchase with custom display ad formats. Advertisers can choose which shoppers to target based on real-time browsing and searching behavior, and analyze engagement and conversions via enhanced reporting capabilities.
