To kick off the Gopuff partnership, Aki is launching an invite-only beta program for innovative brands that want the early mover advantage in retail media. This beta opportunity includes a seamless check-out experience that limits the steps required for shoppers to complete their Gopuff order. Several brands, such as Pepsi, are seeking similarly frictionless shopping experiences from their e-commerce campaigns.
This news follows Aki making headlines for powering another major retail media network, which gives brands new ways to engage with customers in a personalized and ultra-targeted digital experience backed by insight and analytics.
“Retailers are up against a lot today—from ever-changing consumer habits to the diminishment of in-app identifiers—and they’re looking for new and effective ways to connect with shoppers,” said Alvaro Bravo, Aki Technologies Co-founder and President. “We are taking Aki’s insights, data science and marketing expertise and empowering retailers and brands to better engage shoppers and, as a result, increase their sales and loyalty. We are excited to partner with Gopuff to build new capabilities.”
