Question 1

How is ad load balanced between traditional linear-style pod breaks and non-intrusive native CTV placements (pause, home screen, overlays)?

Accepted Answer

French ad tech company Criteo announced the expansion of its performance connected TV (CTV) capabilities beyond the US, with launches planned in Brazil and Mexico by the end of 2025, and in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, Canada, and other unnamed markets in 2027. The tools leverage Criteo's commerce media data, including real-time deterministic signals from over $1 trillion in annual transactions, 740 million daily active users, and five billion SKUs, combined with a household graph to tie purchases to CTV impressions. This enables bid optimization on CTV inventory for performance campaigns. Criteo reports a global travel client achieving 61x return on ad spend compared to display, with a 9% reduction in cost per acquisition. The company's CTV business is on track to double in Q4 compared to Q3 last year, and it plans to expand its media owner footprint.
