Introducing Koddi's Media Planner with Shared Budgets.

Introducing Koddi's Media Planner with Shared Budgets. By Sarah Wheeler Commerce media campaigns are expanding across more channels, formats, and customer touchpoints. But for many networks and advertisers, the way those campaigns are planned and managed hasn't caught up. Budgets are still divided across separate campaigns, onsite and offsite strategies are often managed independently, and when one campaign can't spend its allocation, moving that budget somewhere else requires teams to identify the opportunity and take action before it's too late. Koddi Media Planner with Shared Budgets brings those pieces together. Commerce media networks and advertisers can now build a single media plan across channels, connect the campaigns that support it, and automatically put more of their available budget to work. Plan across channels in one place. Media Planner gives advertisers a single place to build and manage the full media plan. Advertisers and commerce media networks can now bring together any experience under a single media plan, including onsite sponsored listings, onsite video, takeover campaigns, offsite social and display, and more. Rather than treating each campaign as an isolated buy, teams can see how campaigns work together against the advertiser's broader investment. That creates a connected structure from the media plan down to the individual campaigns and ad groups executing it, while giving commerce media networks the flexibility to support the channels, formats, and workflows that make sense for their business. Put more of every budget to work. Creating a connected plan also unlocks a new way to manage budget across it. With Shared Budgets, Koddi continuously evaluates where campaigns are projected to underspend and where eligible campaigns have additional capacity. When budget becomes available, Shared Budgets can automatically reallocate it while campaigns are still active, helping advertisers capture opportunities that could otherwise be lost. The result is less manual budget management and greater utilization of the advertiser's overall investment. And, in the implementation with one of its commerce media network partners, Koddi saw a 135% improvement in budget utilization. See where budget is going. While adding in new automation, Koddi still wanted to prioritize visibility and control. Media Planner gives teams a centralized view of the campaigns within a plan, while Shared Budgets provides transparency into budget movement over time. Teams can understand when budget was reallocated and where it went without piecing together activity across disconnected campaigns. Networks maintain control over how their programs operate, while advertisers get a simpler way to manage increasingly sophisticated cross-channel strategies. Measure the advertiser's full investment. Media Planner also creates a foundation for understanding performance across the broader advertiser buy. Instead of looking at every campaign in isolation, teams can organize and measure related campaigns together, making it easier to understand how different experiences and channels contribute to the overall media plan. As commerce media expands beyond a single placement or channel, that connected view becomes increasingly important. From campaign management to media orchestration. The future of commerce media is about making every channel work together towards a common goal. Media Planner with Shared Budgets gives commerce media networks the infrastructure to do that: one place to plan across experiences, connect campaigns, manage budgets, and measure the broader advertiser investment. You may be interested in. GET IN TOUCH Ready to get started? Don't let your brand get lost in the noise. Partner with Koddi to unlock the power of commerce media and transform the way you engage with your customers. Its team of experts is here to help you navigate complexities and develop a strategy that drives results - no matter what industry - in as little as 45 days.

Teads and Koddi announce global partnership to advance programmatic access to Retail Media.

Teads and Koddi announce global partnership to advance programmatic access to Retail Media. * 5 hrs ago NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Teads (NASDAQ: TEAD), the omnichannel outcomes platform, and Koddi, a leading 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 standardization (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. "At Wolt Ads, we're focused on giving brands more ways to reach highly engaged, high-intent shoppers across our platform," said Catalina Salazar, Global Head of Advertising at Wolt. "Opening our marketplace to differentiated demand partners like Teads via Koddi Ads lets us bring in incremental demand via the buying platform of the advertiser's choice while maintaining full control over how our inventory is monetized." Retailers using Koddi Ads are adopting open programmatic to maximize inventory yield and meet demand in their preferred DSP. Supported by sales teams in over 55 countries, Teads supports Koddi Ads retailer partners, like Wolt Ads, with scaled and differentiated advertiser demand. "Advertisers can activate retail media as part of their broader omnichannel strategy in Teads Ad Manager, reducing complexity while maximizing their campaign's performance," said Justin Sparks, GM of Retail & Commerce Media at Teads. "By embracing OpenRTB as a standardization framework, retailers unlock access to significantly more demand by opening up to omnichannel DSPs like ours. We believe this partnership represents the future of retail media: open, standardized, and integrated into the broader advertising ecosystem, connecting shopper and national brand dollars to the same pipes globally." Koddi's commerce media platform enables retailers to open their valuable onsite inventory programmatically while maintaining complete control over inventory, pricing, and quality standards. Through this partnership, enterprise networks using Koddi's platform can now access Teads' global advertiser base seamlessly without managing custom, proprietary integrations. "Our integration with Teads represents a significant milestone in making retail media truly programmatic on a global scale," said Nicholas Ward, President at Koddi. "By connecting premium demand from Teads' global advertiser ecosystem with retailers' high-intent onsite inventory across markets, we're empowering brands to scale retail media activation efficiently while giving retailers access to meaningful incremental demand." This partnership establishes a foundation for expanded ad format support and additional retail partnerships across markets in the future. About Teads Teads Holding Co.

Sabre opens Sponsored Listings to Koddi's travel media platform.

Sabre opens Sponsored Listings to Koddi's travel media platform. Move makes its 'easier' for suppliers to incorporate the channel into wider media strategies Sabre has made its Sponsored Listings inventory available through Koddi Demand, giving hotel advertisers access to paid placements within the travel technology firm's agency booking workflow. The integration allows hotel brands to manage and measure Sabre Sponsored Listings alongside other travel media campaigns through Koddi Demand. Sponsored Listings enables hotels to promote their properties within the shopping and booking workflow used by travel advisors and corporate travel bookers using Sabre Mosaic Agency Workspace. The placements are designed to give hotel advertisers greater visibility while travel sellers are searching for and selecting accommodation on behalf of customers. Sabre said its Mosaic platform connects travel sellers in more than 190 countries, giving hotel advertisers access to a B2B audience at the point of booking. The integration also brings Sabre's advertising inventory into Koddi Demand's existing media management infrastructure, which supports campaign activation, forecasting, pacing and attribution. Chris Heike, VP of operations and programme management at Koddi, said the integration would allow hotels to add Sabre to broader travel media strategies without creating separate buying and measurement workflows. "Sabre gives advertisers access to an incredibly valuable audience at an important moment in the booking process," he said. John Peebles, general manager of Media at Sabre, said making Sponsored Listings available through Koddi Demand would make it easier for suppliers to incorporate the channel into wider media strategies. The move comes as travel media expands beyond consumer-facing OTAs and metasearch into B2B booking environments, giving suppliers opportunities to pay for visibility within the systems used by travel professionals. Sabre's Sponsored Listings are targeted at travel advisors and travel management companies, while Koddi Demand provides a single technology layer for hotel marketers managing sponsored placements across multiple travel platforms. The integration adds Sabre to Koddi Demand's growing travel media ecosystem as hotel advertisers increasingly look to manage fragmented advertising inventory across marketplaces, OTAs and other travel platforms from a single system.
