AdKernel

Retail Media

Retail media infrastructure at commerce scale.

Run sponsored placements, display, and offsite programmatic on a single stack — powered by your first-party data and sold through your own branded console.

100B+

monthly impressions at the top end of the platform

Built for the hard deployments

The largest networks running on this stack operate at billions of impressions a month, with custom first-party data activation, bespoke targeting logic, and large distributed ad ops teams working across many concurrent use cases at once.

Retail media networks tend to outgrow the platform they launched on. This one is built to be the platform they grow into.

What you run it with

Onsite and offsite on one stack

Serve sponsored placements across your owned inventory and extend the same audiences into offsite programmatic — without bolting a third-party DSP onto the back of your network.

Custom bid models on your own data

Bring your own relevancy and ranking logic. Custom in-memory bid models are built and hosted in AdKernel's datacenters, running against your first-party signals at decision time.

White-label advertiser UI

A self-service console your brands, suppliers, and merchants log into under your branding, not ours.

First-party data activation

Onboard shopper data, build intent and interest segments, and activate them across the network at no extra cost.

APIs and MCP access

Build custom ad formats and commerce integrations against the same APIs the hosted UIs are built on.

Who it's for

Retailers

Turn shopper data and owned inventory into an ad business: sponsored products and display onsite, extended offsite with the same first-party audiences.

First-party data activation

Marketplaces

Let sellers and merchants promote their own listings through a self-service console, with pricing, pacing, and placement rules you control.

White-label DSP Suite

Commerce & Delivery Apps

Monetize the buying journey from search to checkout, with ad decisioning fast enough to sit inline in the shopping experience.
