Optimise retail media and Amazon ads with AI

Automate bidding and budget allocation across Amazon and retailer media networks against profit goals.

The problem

Retail media budgets are growing fast, but campaigns are split across Amazon, Walmart, Instacart and UK retailer networks, and manual bid management cannot keep up.

How AI helps

Retail media platforms use AI to set bids and budgets by goal (ACoS, new-to-brand, share of voice), shift spend toward what works and report across networks.

How to roll it out

  1. 1

    Set clear goals per product role: launch, defend, profit.

  2. 2

    Connect ad accounts and sales data.

  3. 3

    Let the AI manage bids within guardrails; review search-term reports weekly.

  4. 4

    Report incrementality and new-to-brand sales, not just ROAS.
