Programmatic Advertising Agency
- Criteo partner reaching thousands of premium publishers beyond Google
- Remarketing and prospecting across the open web, not just Google
- No lock-in contracts with transparent monthly reporting
Programmatic advertising that reaches beyond Google
As a programmatic advertising agency in Sydney, we help ecommerce brands, retailers, and service businesses run high-performance remarketing and prospecting campaigns through Criteo. Last year alone, our Criteo campaigns generated over $748,000 in tracked revenue for a single client, with 1,009 conversions from programmatic remarketing.
If you are already running Performance Max or Google Display campaigns, you might be wondering where Criteo-based programmatic fits in. The difference is reach: Performance Max operates within Google’s network, while Criteo gives you access to the open web, including premium news sites, apps, and publishers that Google cannot touch. For Sydney businesses serious about retargeting and prospecting, the two work together rather than compete. We manage Performance Max campaigns as part of our Google Ads services, while this page focuses on Criteo’s open-web programmatic capabilities.
With Criteo, you get access to one of the world’s largest commerce datasets, AI-driven bidding that optimises for actual purchases, and placement across thousands of premium publishers. Our Sydney team manages campaigns end-to-end: strategy, creative, optimisation, and transparent reporting on revenue impact.

Programmatic advertising FAQs
Answers to the most common questions Sydney businesses ask about running programmatic campaigns with Criteo. Have a question that is not covered? Reach out to our team.
How much does programmatic advertising cost in Sydney?
Most Sydney businesses invest $5,000 to $10,000 per month in media spend, with management fees starting at $2,000 per month. CPMs range from AUD $5 for broad placements to $25+ for premium publishers. We recommend a minimum $5,000 monthly budget to give Criteo’s AI enough conversion data to optimise effectively. You will receive a detailed proposal after your free audit.
How quickly will I see results from programmatic campaigns?
Remarketing campaigns typically show engagement within the first two weeks as we reconnect with your existing website visitors. Revenue impact usually builds over 60 to 90 days as Criteo’s AI learns which audiences and placements convert best. Prospecting campaigns take longer to mature since we are reaching new audiences who have not visited your site before.
How is Criteo programmatic different from Google Display Ads?
Google Display runs within Google’s network. Criteo reaches the open web, accessing thousands of premium publishers, news sites, and apps that Google cannot. Criteo also uses commerce-specific AI trained on purchase behaviour, making it particularly strong for ecommerce remarketing. Many Sydney businesses run both for maximum reach.
Do I need programmatic if I am already running Performance Max?
They serve different purposes. Performance Max automates campaigns within Google’s ecosystem, including Search, YouTube, Shopping, and Gmail. Criteo programmatic extends your reach to the open web beyond Google. For Sydney ecommerce brands, running both means you are visible wherever your customers browse, not just on Google properties.
Is there a minimum budget for programmatic advertising?
We recommend a minimum of $5,000 per month in media spend for Criteo campaigns. This gives the platform enough data to optimise bidding and targeting effectively. Smaller budgets can work for highly focused remarketing, but prospecting campaigns need volume to find patterns in audience behaviour.
How do you ensure my ads appear in brand-safe environments?
We configure exclusion lists, category blocks, and placement controls within Criteo before campaigns launch. We also run regular placement reviews and provide transparent reporting on exactly where your ads appeared. If any placements concern you, we add them to exclusions immediately.
What reporting do I receive on programmatic campaigns?
You receive monthly reports covering impressions, clicks, conversions, revenue, and return on ad spend. We also include placement breakdowns so you can see which publishers drive results. Monthly strategy calls walk through performance and outline optimisation plans for the coming weeks.
Are there lock-in contracts for programmatic management?
No. We work on month-to-month agreements. Our job is to earn your business through results, not lock you in with long-term contracts. If programmatic is not delivering the returns you expect, you can pause or end the engagement without penalty.
Ready to grow with programmatic advertising?
With Criteo-powered programmatic campaigns, you can reach audiences across the open web, re-engage past visitors with dynamic product ads, and turn ad spend into measurable revenue. Our Sydney team combines data-driven targeting with creative optimisation to deliver consistent, ROI-focused growth.
