Kinetic Design is based on a foundation of three core components:

• Composer: This technology allows Criteo’s creative services teams to build a digital design framework for each client based on their individual brand guidelines. This design framework scales to enable personalization to Criteo’s 1.2 billion+ active monthly users while maintaining consistent brand representation.
• Real-time creative optimization: In order to ensure that each visual design is informed by consumer behavior, Kinetic Design optimizes each ad based on real-time consumer insights and contextual awareness by selecting the most relevant branded design elements from the design framework built by Composer.
• Renderer: By eliminating ad-size or layout restrictions, Renderer makes it possible to dynamically generate the most optimal layout and fit any ad size on any publisher’s inventory.
