Our take
Teads operates a cloud-based end-to-end technology platform that enables programmatic digital advertising across a global ecosystem of quality digital media. The modular platform allows partners to leverage buy-side, sell-side, creative, data and AI optimization technologies.
The company partners with marketers and agencies, and has a mass reach for advertisers across some of the most well-known publishers in the world, such as Vice, CNN and BBC. After newly hiring talent into some senior roles, the company has enabled itself to switch focus towards providing more resources and service across some of the fastest-growing verticals such as automotive, retail, technology, telecoms, FMCG, travel, and luxury.
In 2025, it was announced that Teads had been acquired by Outbrain for $1 billion. This represents a significant step up for the two companies, which, combined, make the largest open internet business in the world. With an expanded reach of 2.2 billion customers, Teads and Outbrain will merge two of the richest contextual and interest data sets on the open internet.
