Ampd Creates First to Market Frictionless Shopper Journey with the Launch of Agentic Shoppable Media
New Agentic Solution Boosts Traffic, CX, and Sales Velocity Through Agentic Shopper-to-Retailer Matching
SEATTLE, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ampd, the agentic suite of solutions connecting brand media to commerce, today announces the launch of Agentic Shoppable Media. This first-to-market solution addresses the challenges many brands have faced with their shoppable media strategies, namely shopper drop-offs (up to 95%), and concerns around meeting equitable retailer routing. Ampd's Agentic Shoppable Media solves these problems head-on by automatically directing shoppers to their preferred retailer through agentic deep linking, fully aligned with fair and equitable policies. The result is a nearly 100% transfer of ad clicks to retailer Product Detail Pages (PDPs), with deep link rates commonly tripling the traditional where-to-buy benchmarks; a key indicator of commerce velocity.
From their advent, shoppable media solutions were designed to amplify the impact and conversion rates of brand advertising outside the walls of retail media networks. Unfortunately, the traditional solutions created a laundry list of obstacles for brands looking to drive meaningful sales impact. The traditional where-to-buy experience added needless extra clicks for shoppers, leading to massive bounce rates, with most never reaching the intended Product Detail Pages (PDPs). This outdated approach also created additional complexities for meeting fair-share GMV allocation requirements, which can ruin the key retailer relationships that omnichannel brands desperately rely on.
"Friction kills commerce. Brands put so much energy into moving at the speed of culture with brilliant, timely campaigns, but if 95% of their shoppers hit a clunky landing page and never actually make it to a retailer, much of that effort is wasted. Real speed means fixing that disconnect. It's about eliminating every single unnecessary click and finally giving people an experience that actually brings them closer to the brands they love."
-Joshua Gebhardt, CEO and Co-Founder @ Ampd
Ampd created its Agentic Shoppable Media solution to address these challenges and modernize the shoppable media experience for brands and consumers alike by keeping the focus on the shopper experience (CX) and shortening the journey to a single click.
Key features include:
"This is a game-changer for customers, as it removes yet another click in the shopping journey and places them directly into their preferred shopping experience. By eliminating the traditional friction, Ampd is not only providing a superior seamless experience, but also powerful lifts in conversion, media impact, and the bottom line."
-Keith Lehman, Global Director of Digital Commerce @ Colgate-Palmolive
"At Nestlé, our obsession with the shopper drives our strategy, and Ampd's Agentic Shoppable Media aligns perfectly with that mission.

To be best-in-class, a superior CX is non-negotiable, and Ampd is helping us set that standard."
-Nicole Lesinski, Director of eCommerce Strategy @ Nestlé
"We've always championed a frictionless user journey, but testing deep linking through Ampd finally gave us the hard data to prove its absolute necessity. By removing the extra steps and getting shoppers exactly where they want to be, we drove a 4-5x increase in conversion rates. It's definitive proof that convenience converts."
-Josh Shea, Founder @ Momentum Commerce, & Head of Commerce @ PMG
