Škoda and Teads Drive 2,000 Leads with DCO
Škoda launched a lead-generation campaign in Austria for the Elroq 4x4 in collaboration with Porsche Media & Creative and Teads. According to Teads, the campaign used its DCO-driven "Performance Feed" to optimize toward conversion events and generated 2,000 leads within one month. Teads reports a 14% lower cost-per-click versus the benchmark and average cost-per-lead 69% below the benchmark for paid search. The figures come from a Teads-published case study and lack independent verification or a detailed breakdown of lead types and downstream outcomes.
A vendor case study showing DCO-driven automated optimization achieving measurable lead-generation and strong claimed cost efficiencies; useful as an example for performance marketing but limited by reliance on Teads' own data and lack of independent verification.

Agency Uses AI and DCO to Halve Cost Per Lead
Swiss creative agency DD Com and media agency Konnex updated window manufacturer 4B’s existing B2C campaign using predictive and generative AI plus a hybrid image‑editing workflow. They developed distinct messaging and tonalities for two target groups and produced new key visuals from a five‑year photo pool in coordination with the original subjects. 4B deployed Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) to combine five visuals and five headlines into 125 variant permutations, served across Meta, native ads, programmatic banners, TV and print. According to the advertiser, Cost per Lead fell 46% year‑on‑year in Q1 while lead rate remained high and production costs decreased. The company notes DCO raises creative volume, setup complexity and monitoring needs, and cites a macro tailwind (planned Eigenmietwert abolition in 2029) supporting demand for home renovation services.
Teads Integrates with Koddi Commerce Media Infrastructure
Teads and Koddi have announced a new integration connecting Teads' Ad Manager with Koddi's commerce media infrastructure. This partnership enables advertisers to purchase onsite retail inventory from Koddi networks in the US and Europe, including Sponsored Product Ads and display placements on merchant and commerce platforms. The integration uses the OpenRTB standard to facilitate automated exchange between demand and sell sides, eliminating the need for proprietary integrations between Teads and individual retailers. Networks such as Wolt Ads, Gopuff UK, and Hopper are among those connected. Retailers retain control over inventory, pricing, and quality standards through Koddi's SSP. This move expands Teads' programmatic retail media offerings, allowing advertisers to plan and activate retail media alongside other channels within the Teads Ad Manager.
