Teads, The Global Media Platform, unveiled a suite of updates including the expansion of its robust performance offering along with new social products and measurement solutions. The announcements were made during the inaugural ‘Teads Partner Day’, a global virtual event that brought together more than 1,000 brand marketers, agency partners, and trade journalists.

A Lower-Funnel Solution

Among the main innovations the company announced is ‘Teads Conversions’, a new performance programmatic solution geared towards helping brands deliver on-site conversions such as leads, add to cart, registrations, and sales. This solution allows clients to access Teads’ high-quality traffic and premium publisher inventory while optimizing towards lower-funnel outcomes via the leading DSPs in the marketplace. The solution is also available in closed beta via Teads’ self-serve buying interface.

As advertisers move further down the funnel, one common concern is that they have to sacrifice quality and brand safety to get lower funnel conversions. As a ‘curated internet,’ Teads is a single access point to the world’s best publishers, offering quality scale, brand-safety, and outcome transparency not available within the ‘walled gardens’ of social platforms, or across the low-quality inventory on the open web.
