Criteo lève 30 millions d'euros

Criteo lève 30 millions d'euros | cross pond high tech | Scoop.it

Ce tour de table doit permettre d'alimenter l'impressionnante croissance du groupe.

 

Créée en 2005, la start-up a généré un chiffre d'affaires de 9 millions de dollars en 2009, puis de 60 millions en 2010, et de 200 millions l'année dernière. Et le rythme devrait se poursuivre cette année, avec en plus un plan de recrutement de 250 salariés, qui permettra d'étoffer une structure aujourd'hui composée de 700 salariés.

 

La raison de ce succès : une solution de « publicité display à la performance ». La société propose ainsi aux annonceurs des espaces publicitaires personnalisés en fonction des habitudes de navigation de l'internaute qu'elle recueille de façon anonyme et qu'elle exploite via un algorithme développé spécialement. Une solution qui lui permet de revendiquer un taux de clic dix fois supérieur au marché, aux alentours de 0,6 %. De quoi lui permettre d'envisager l'avenir avec sérénité, et notamment une introduction en Bourse. «  On se met en ordre de bataille», commente sobrement Jean-Baptiste Rudelle.

This Amazing Mist Touchscreen Lets You Play Fruit Ninja On A Wall Of Water Vapor

This Amazing Mist Touchscreen Lets You Play Fruit Ninja On A Wall Of Water Vapor | cross pond high tech | Scoop.it

A Russian company called Displair has brought its bizarre, wholly innovative vaporizing projector machine to this year's Consumer Electronics Show, and the gizmo is unlike anything else at the enormous tech convention: Basically, you can connect a touchscreen device to a projector, which puts out a touchable image of your device's screen onto a constantly misting wall of vaporized water. You can then interact with the device by running your finger on that wall of mist. It's a strange and totally innovative way to interact with a typical tablet or computer.

Serious vaporware

Facebook Now Controls Nearly One-Fifth Of U.S. Mobile Display Ad Revenue

Facebook Now Controls Nearly One-Fifth Of U.S. Mobile Display Ad Revenue | cross pond high tech | Scoop.it
Facebook has vaulted past its competitors to control 18.4 percent of U.S. mobile display ad revenues.
According to eMarketer, that means Facebook will end the year as the top U.S. publisher in mobile display, with roughly $340 million in revenue for all of 2012.
The chart below presents a visualization of Facebook remarkable performance. The social network wasn't in the picture in 2011. One year later, it has seized a fatter share of U.S. mobile display revenues than heavyweights such as Google, Pandora, and Apple's iAd platform. In the process, a greater share of revenue has accrued to the top six publishers.
However, Facebook's accomplishment needs to be placed in context. First, mobile remains a blip in the total advertising landscape. And within mobile, display still accounts for less spend than search ads— 46 percent to 49 percent of U.S. mobile ad spending. (In other countries the picture is even more lopsided in favor of search.)
Finally, it's early days yet for Facebook's mobile ads, and there are no guarantees the company's mobile ad formats will continue to succeed indefinitely.

Still haven't clicked on any of these ads...
