      Questions

      The short answers.

      What is the difference between being named in an AI answer and advertising in one?

      Being named is earned. The assistant recommends you because it can find you, read you and trust what it reads. Advertising is bought: a paid slot beside the answer. They are separate routes to the same screen, and they do not replace each other.

      Who is S1 digital?

      A full-funnel digital media agency working across the Benelux since 2010, for brands like Samsonite, Breguet and ABN AMRO MeesPierson. They plan and buy paid media on Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, LinkedIn, Google and programmatic display. They are Criteo’s exclusive reseller in the Benelux, and through exclusive partnerships they can already place ads inside ChatGPT. Their sister agency Brandle makes the creative.

      What does it mean that S1 resell Criteo?

      Criteo shows people the exact products they looked at on your site, brings back abandoned baskets and suggests what goes with them. S1 are Criteo’s exclusive reseller in the Benelux, so they set up your product feed, run the campaigns and report on them directly, with no middleman.

      What is Brandle?

      S1’s sister agency, a full-service creative studio. Product photography and video, animation, copywriting, brand identity, websites and packaging. S1 run the media and Brandle make what goes in it, so one brief takes you from first idea to finished campaign.

      Do I have to do both?

      No. Most start with being named, because it costs nothing per appearance. Advertising is worth a look once you know what the assistants already say about you.
