Criteo SA Analyst Notes
On June 4, 2014, Criteo SA (Criteo) announced that it has made significant improvements to the Criteo Engine, the Company's proprietary prediction and recommendation engine. The new technology now allows Criteo to decide whether to buy each ad impression based on the likelihood that a user will both click on an ad and then purchase on the advertiser's site. "The Criteo Engine is now processing huge volumes of data with improved models, and as a result we are able to predict events that happen only once out of every 10,000 times - like when an ad impression generates a click and a sale. As a result, we help advertisers make the best possible decisions that will maximize the reach and effectiveness of their marketing," said Jonathan Wolf, Chief Product Officer at Criteo. "This is where advertising needs to be and we are very excited to continue to prove the value that can be generated from focusing on pure post-click performance."
