Criteo Partners with Lidl to Expand Onsite Retail Media
The partnership between the two companies in Germany opens up a wide range of new
features and onsite placement options for brands to help them achieve their advertising
goals
Munich, May 19, 2026 – Criteo (NASDAQ: CRTO), the global commerce intelligence
platform, today announced it is partnering with Lidl to expand its onsite retail media
offering in Germany. The aim of this partnership is to enhance the retail media capabilities
on Lidl.de and to create new high-performance advertising opportunities for brands and
agencies. Criteo will also act as the exclusive demand partner for the inventory on Lidl.de.
Through this partnership, brands and agencies will be able to access a wide range of new
advertising options on Lidl.de to efficiently reach relevant shoppers throughout the path to
purchase. These include Sponsored Product Ads, which are natively integrated into the
website and allow brands to reach high-intent consumers at the very moment they are
making their purchase decisions. This will enable brands to measurably increase visibility
and sales at the point of purchase. In addition, advertisers will be able to leverage Onsite
Display Ads, which target shoppers during the consideration phase. Thanks to a combination
of branding and product, this can help increase brand awareness directly on the Lidl site.
“Brands and agencies continue to show strong interest in high-performing retail media
offerings from the market’s leading retailers,” said Corinna Hohenleitner, Managing Director
Retail Media for Germany, Austria and Switzerland at Criteo. “We are delighted to be able to
bring our long-standing expertise, leading technology and marketing capabilities to the
partnership. With access to Lidl’s online inventory, advertisers will be able to find exactly the
measurable, high-reach and performance-driven advertising opportunities they are looking
for.”
