Live demos: Check out our industry-leading platform at the AI & Tech Sandbox
Koddi is bringing the next generation of commerce media execution, intelligence, and monetization to Cannes. Join us at the AI & Tech Sandbox for a live demo of how commerce media teams can unlock new demand, launch monetized experiences faster, and scale operations with AI embedded directly into the workflow.
Koddi brings the core pieces of modern commerce media together in one platform: programmatic demand, omnichannel campaign management, seamless ad serving, and AI that helps teams analyze, optimize, and act in real time.
At Cannes, you’ll see that vision working live, from campaign build to launch, AI-powered optimization, onsite monetization, and programmatic demand flowing into premium commerce media inventory.
Date: Monday, June 22–Thursday, June 25
Time: 8:00am–6:00pm
Location: AI & Tech Sandbox at Miramar Plage
Commerce SSP: Unlock programmatic demand
Programmatic demand is just not reaching commerce media, and Koddi is opening premium commerce media inventory to programmatic demand, including native sponsored listings, display, video, and audio.
Live at the beach: See a campaign built in The Trade Desk and served as a sponsored listing on a live site, bringing programmatic demand to commerce media inventory in a new way.
Onsite placement AI: Launch new onsite ads in minutes
Onsite monetization usually requires significant engineering work before a single ad can serve. Koddi’s AI-powered ad serving solution uses your existing tag manager and AI tools to launch native monetized experiences quickly.
Live at the beach: Watch us add a tag to a live site, identify where ads should appear, and serve a sponsored placement in minutes.
Omnichannel optimization: Manage every channel in one platform
Omnichannel campaigns often require separate tools, manual workflows, and teams stitching systems together. Koddi brings onsite, offsite, and in-store campaign management into one platform, with a single media plan that can automatically shift budget across channels to help hit your goals.
Live at the beach: Build a media plan, activate across channels, and rebalance spend with help from Auggie, Koddi’s embedded AI.
Auggie: AI that answers, acts, and operates
Meet Auggie, Koddi’s embedded AI experience, built into the platform to help commerce media teams move from insight to action faster. It can answer questions in context, recommend optimizations like budget or bid changes, and turn repeatable work into agentic workflows that run proactively across the business.
Live at the beach: See Auggie surface insights, recommend the next best action, and automate recurring work, helping teams do more with the resources they already have.
