Taboola has expanded its capabilities beyond native advertising with the launch of Realize, an advanced technology platform designed to drive performance outcomes at scale. Realize will now serve as Taboola’s all-in-one solution for performance advertising, covering major ad inventory types, from display to video, while connecting advertisers with the world’s most trusted publishers.
For over a decade, Taboola has been a leader in native advertising, primarily focusing on bottom-of-article placements. However, with Realize, the company is extending beyond its native advertising roots to create a powerful platform that excels across the entire performance advertising landscape, reaching audiences through diverse, high-impact channels beyond search and social media.
Realize addresses a critical need in the advertising industry—the lack of specialized solutions that effectively deliver performance at scale across the full marketing funnel. Unlike generic platforms, Realize leverages Taboola’s vast data, AI capabilities, and extensive network of premium publishers to optimize campaigns for maximum performance, ensuring better results for advertisers.
“Every business deserves a chance to grow and succeed,” said Adam Singolda, CEO at Taboola. “Performance advertising beyond search and social media has been far too difficult for too long, however. Advertisers have settled on search and social media simply because there has been no viable alternative. Spending money with DSPs and CTV is great for branding but not optimized to drive performance, and running display with hundreds of advertising tech companies at low scale is simply not worth marketers’ time. Amazon started in 1994 and did a great job winning the book business by 2000, which allowed them to go into owning all of e-commerce. This is our “Amazon moment.” After many years of success with native ads, it’s time to go after all of performance advertising. We can do a lot more for advertisers, and a lot more for publishers. Today is an exciting day for me and us at Taboola.”
