Department Overview:
Criteo Publisher Marketplace (cpm.criteo.com) is a self service platform aimed at small and medium publishers. Criteo buys inventory directly from over 4,500 publishers in Europe (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands) & the US. We aim to only work with quality publishers (every new publisher is manually vetted to ensure quality) and the team of Business Development Managers ensure that we only buy high visibility ad placements. This publisher base is being built by a European inside sales (phone based) team based in London.
We are currently receiving 10 Billion impressions/month through this platform.
The proposition is simple: publishers get access to our personalized retargeting demand, by sending all their impression to us. We calculate in real time the value we are able to pay for each impression received. Criteo will only ever buy an impression if we can pay a price at or above the floor price the publisher sets in the interface. We buy the inventory using “pass-back”, which means Criteo monetises certain impressions and then passes the remainder back to wherever the publisher nominates.
