Sampler acquires AdMass

Sampler expands product offering by adding AI and UGC capabilities via acquisition of AdMass

‍TORONTO, July 10, 2023 - We are pleased to announce our acquisition of AdMass! Admass is an AI-powered SaaS platform that enables brands and their agencies to create data-driven user generated content promotions. This marks our second acquisition in just four months, following the successful completion of our acquisition of beauty digital sampling agency abeo in March 2023. The back-to-back acquisitions are part of our company’s strategic efforts to expand our product offering and accelerate growth.

The deal with AdMass will enable us to integrate the platform’s user-generated content (UGC) collection and measurement capabilities directly into our brand platform and consumer experience. Through this strategic acquisition, Sampler clients will have the opportunity to incorporate UGC capabilities into their Sampler campaigns, leveraging the power of brand advocates and the social reach of Sampler’s growing community of nano-influencers. The integration will also provide brands with an unprecedented level of data, allowing them to target a more precise audience and gain valuable insights that will enhance the effectiveness of their overall marketing strategies.
