Performance @Teads

Teads Performance journey started in 2018, with the creation of the first mid-funnel offering aiming to generate clicks and qualified traffic for our clients, with premium and responsible ad experiences.

Fully relying on proprietary technology, this offering has been evolving to offer greater capabilities, and it represented over a third of Teads turnover in 2022.

Since the beginning of the year, Teads has been progressively rolling-out a lower-funnel offering to now focus on conversions for our clients.

This is a strategic area of very high growth. In this role of Product Director, you will be overseeing the development of all of our performance product portfolio.
