Advertising technology vendor Criteo S.A. is looking to broaden the services it offers retailers and other advertisers by buying HookLogic Inc., a vendor whose technology places targeted ads on the websites of such retailers as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Target Corp.
HookLogic, a startup that helps consumer brands place ads on e-commerce sites, has agreed to sell for $250 million to publicly traded ad-tech firm Criteo.
As the holiday shopping season “unofficially” gets underway, millennials are expected to lead the charge.
This early movement is also putting the season on pace to have the highest e-commerce sales revenue yet, according to the “2016 Holiday Initiative Summary Report,” from Criteo. The study reveals consumer holiday shopping behaviors, the role and impact of digital advertising, and e-commerce trends that retailers are urged to leverage in the upcoming months.
“We’d been talking to HookLogic for almost two years looking for potential linkups, and it just became clear there’d be more value if we worked directly together than if we just structured a partnership,” Eric Eichmann told AdExchanger after the deal was announced.
Criteo's Harris Bernstein shares a contributed article about how millennials are contributing to the rise of mobile within the fashion e-commerce industry.
Criteo, the performance-marketing technology company, has announced that it has appointed Elie Kanaan as its Executive Vice President of Marketing. At Criteo, Kanaan will head the marketing and communications and product marketing initiatives. Kanaan is equipped with more than 25 years of experience in marketing and technology.
Criteo appointed Elie Kanaan to EVP of marketing. He now leads the company's product marketing, marketing and communications initiatives worldwide.
Kanaan, who spent seven years at VMWare as VP of marketing in EMEA, brings to Criteo his knowledge and experience of pioneering virtualization, cloud support and the ability to scale services.
Just weeks after acquiring HookLogic for $250 million in an all-cash deal, Criteo is pushing into paid search. Criteo played primarily in performance display until now, but its Predictive Search product marks its first major move into a different part of the marketing funnel.
MediaPost highlights the launch of Criteo Predictive Search, which leverages Criteo's core machine learning technology to help support Google Shopping campaigns.
Criteo Predictive Search is designed to automate the entire optimization process for Google Shopping campaigns without increasing the retailer’s cost per order. It uses machine learning to identify opportunities for better matching and bidding opportunities down to the product level. Every aspect of the campaign from structure to remarketing to bids is modified automatically through the system.
France-based adtech outfit Criteo has inked an agreement to acquire advertising exchange HookLogic for a publicly undisclosed fee, a deal announced within 24 hours of SalesForce's purchase of Krux.
In just two years, nearly half of all e-commerce transactions are likely to occur on mobile phones.
Following serious investment from brands, mobile has moved from a pre-purchase tool to a place where users are actually clicking the “buy” button — be that on their sofa or the train to work.
