WPP Media & Criteo Launch First-of-Its-Kind Activation using Open Intelligence to Scale Commerce Signals in CTV

Criteo, the global platform connecting the commerce ecosystem, announced a new partnership with WPP Media to scale commerce intelligence to Connected TV (CTV). Through the combination of WPP Media’s Open Intelligence, its scaled relationships with premium supply partners, and Criteo’s real-time commerce signals, advertisers are now able to reach qualified consumers at scale across premium CTV inventory.

Turning Brand Budgets into Business Outcomes in any DSP

As brands increasingly aim to hold all marketing investments accountable to business outcomes, advertisers need smarter ways to connect with audiences across channels like CTV. This collaboration offers a turnkey solution: curated audiences based on high-fidelity commerce signals enhanced and scaled by Open Intelligence-activated in any Demand-side Platform (DSP).

Powered by Criteo’s Commerce Grid Supply-side Platform (SSP), curated Deal IDs enable advertisers to seamlessly activate commerce-first CTV strategies across the DSP of their choice, connecting ad exposure to measurable outcomes like foot traffic and sales.
