CitrusAd is a digital ad serving company that integrates its Software as a Service based technology platform with first-party, retailer data to create what is now commonly known as retail media networks.[2][1][3]
History
[edit]The company was founded by Brad Moran and Nick Paech in 2017.[3][4] The company enables retailers to monetize their digital assets (from their own websites and apps).[3] CitrusAd as a platform uses a real-time relevancy engine to display personalized ads to shoppers.[5]
CitrusAd allows its users to launch ad campaigns (including display and sponsored product ads as a result of on-site search) from a single, self-serve, platform featuring measurement capabilities tied to sales for closed-loop, transparent reporting on ROAS (return on ad spend). As a result, CitrusAd was named a leader in The Forrester Wave: Sell-Side Retail Media Solutions, Q3 2021[6] and also ranked second among Deloitte Fast 50'.[7][8]
In 2021, the company saw an abundance of growth over 2020[4] as brands shifted their advertising budgets to follow the uptick in online shopping during the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][10][11] The company created a media hub for retailers to band together under, GroceryOne to attract national ad budgets. GroceryOne allowed brands and agencies access to multiple grocers, representing $60B in retail sales from a single platform.[12][11]
In July 2021, the company was subsequently acquired by Publicis Groupe for $205m.[13][14][15][16]
As of 2022, CitrusAd powers ad serving for retailers with more than $2 trillion in combined annual online sales[17] and is a standalone company of the Publicis Groupe; a global leader in communication with 80,000 employees in more than 100 countries.[18] The company created the first unified platform for on-site and off-site retail media campaigns.[19][20][21][22]
