Take it from the judges

Here's what the International Business Awards judges had to say about Constructor:

Retail media, done right

As spending on retail media — ads on retailers' owned digital channels — soars, retailers face a pressing challenge: how to capture growing ad budgets without disrupting the shopper experience or cannibalizing organic sales. Traditional tools treat paid and organic results separately: dropping irrelevant ads into search results and other pages, without regard for what's most useful to the shopper or beneficial to the retailer.

Constructor's Retail Media Suite takes a different approach. As the first solution to optimize paid and organic placements from a single platform, Constructor evaluates every slot in the buyer journey — intelligently deciding whether a sponsored or organic result adds more value, and personalizing it for each shopper. The result is a win-win-win: Shoppers get a more helpful, tailored experience; advertisers reach audiences with higher purchase intent; and retailers grow revenue from shoppers and advertising partners alike.

Unveiled earlier this year, the Retail Media Suite is already delivering measurable results:

• A furniture and home retailer projects a $1 million lift in ad revenue within the year — without sacrificing organic sales.
• A major consumer packaged goods company estimates a $2.4 million increase — without cutting into organic sales either.

The Retail Media Suite also complements Constructor's solutions for organic product discovery — across search, browse, product recommendations, landing pages, product finder quizzes, AI Shopping Agent results and more.

A banner year

These latest recognitions and achievements add to a year of major milestones for Constructor — including selection by Fast Company as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies; a Leader placement in the Gartner^® Magic Quadrant^™ for Search and Product Discovery¹, #1 rankings across three Use Cases^* in the accompanying Gartner Critical Capabilities² report, and strong business growth, with revenue nearly doubling for the fourth year in a row.

"We're honored to be recognized in the International Business Awards," said Eli Finkelshteyn, CEO and co-founder of Constructor. "The judges' feedback reflects what we hear from our customers every day: that our AI isn't just powerful, it's practical — solving real challenges in ecommerce and delivering measurable results. As we look ahead, we're excited to keep pushing the boundaries of AI and agentic technology to create experiences that drive shopper satisfaction and unlock new revenue opportunities for retailers."
