Teads, the omnichannel outcomes platform, and Koddi, a commerce media platform, today announced a global partnership delivering an open, universal OpenRTB standard for onsite retail media inventory.
Building on Teads’ position as an early innovator in bringing real-time bidding (RTB) capabilities to native retail listings, this strategic collaboration directly tackles the top challenges facing advertisers today: according to IAB Europe’s Attitudes to Retail Media report, the fragmentation of retail media networks (51%) and a lack of standardisation (53%) remain the primary barriers for buy-side stakeholders.
The integration enables advertisers to unify onsite retail media with their broader omnichannel strategy, seamlessly activating Sponsored Product Ads (SPAs) and high-intent Display placements in Teads Ad Manager across Koddi-powered networks in the US and Europe, including platforms such as Gopuff UK, Hopper, and Wolt Ads.
