The product

Mirakl Ads is an AI-powered retail media platform. It lets retailers and marketplaces earn ad revenue by helping sellers and brands promote their products where shoppers search and browse.

As design lead, I owned the end-to-end experience across three product squads — from discovery and framing to prototyping, testing and handoff — while making sure features built in parallel still felt like one product.

How I worked

One designer across three squads

I partnered with three product managers, three engineering managers and their development teams, running discovery, design and validation in parallel while keeping patterns, components and language consistent across the platform.

What I designed

Four workstreams, one coherent product

01

Smart campaigns

Planning a campaign meant guessing which products, bids and budgets would work. We designed a flow where data and AI propose a ready-to-launch plan that sellers can review and adjust.

02

Campaign optimization

Once live, campaigns drifted. We surfaced clear, actionable recommendations inside the campaign manager so sellers could improve performance without becoming ad experts.

03

Premium placement deals

Operators wanted to sell specific spots on their websites at dedicated prices. We designed how these premium placements are packaged, priced and booked.

04

Criteo integration

Following the public Criteo × Mirakl Ads partnership, we evolved the whole platform so advertisers could reach Criteo’s retail media supply from one workflow, with unified billing and reporting.

Outcome

From zero to sold

Most of the features I worked on were designed from scratch and are now part of what Mirakl sells to retailers running their retail media business on Mirakl Ads.
