The short answer

AMZ Pathfinder is stronger on advertising depth and track record. It has run Amazon PPC since 2015 and covers Sponsored Ads, Amazon DSP, AMC and Google Ads for Amazon.

Olifant is stronger on running ads and organic growth as one plan. Senior specialists with 7+ years each manage PPC, listings, creative and catalog together, and the team on your first call runs your account every day.

Olifant manages every product against profit. Each product gets a target TACoS, a target ACoS, keywords to rank for and a profit goal.

A lower entry point. AMZ Pathfinder asks for at least $100,000 a month in one Amazon marketplace, per its agency page. Our fit starts around $1M a year.

Pricing and guarantee. Olifant Digital's services start from $2,000 per month and are custom for each project, based on the complexity and workload required. Every engagement comes with a 60-day guarantee: if we don't improve your performance, you don't pay. AMZ Pathfinder publishes a PPC audit from $1,000 per marketplace; we did not find a published price or guarantee for ongoing management.

Is Olifant Digital the right AMZ Pathfinder alternative?

Yes, if you sell roughly $1M to $50M a year on Amazon, you want PPC, listings and creative run by one senior team, and you judge results on profit per product. No, if AMZ Pathfinder is delivering, or your main need is a specialist ads team for Amazon DSP, AMC and Google-to-Amazon traffic.

The biggest structural difference is focus. AMZ Pathfinder's core offer is Amazon advertising, with account management and supply chain support listed as extra services (full account management page). Olifant is a full-service Amazon team: ads, listings, A+ Content, creative, catalog and profit tracking under one plan, plus Walmart, Target, Google and Meta when you need them.

Data as of October 2026.

Where AMZ Pathfinder is stronger

AMZ Pathfinder has real advantages, and for some brands they decide it:

A long Amazon PPC track record. Its team page says Brent Zahradnik founded it in summer 2015, so it has run Amazon ads for over a decade.

A deep advertising stack. It runs Sponsored Ads, Amazon DSP and AMC, and Google Ads for Amazon with Ampd attribution down to the keyword level.

Hourly bidding. Its homepage says it uses Amazon Marketing Stream and dayparting to make decisions down to the hour. That matters if your conversion rate swings by time of day.

Large published ad results. Its case studies page lists $5.6M in ad sales at a 22.59% ACoS for a craft supplies seller, and its homepage shows a 4.78x ROAS on $640,000 of spend for Healing & Bliss.

Long partnerships and free education. It says partnerships last 3 years on average, and it publishes a weekly newsletter, the Beyond PPC podcast and a quarterly Amazon ad report.

Where Olifant Digital is stronger

Ads and organic growth as one plan. PPC, listings, A+ Content, creative, inventory and catalog sit with one senior team, because paid traffic converts only as well as the listing it lands on.

More channels when you need them. We also run Walmart and Target, and Google and Meta for brands that sell direct. We did not find Walmart, Target or Meta services on AMZ Pathfinder's website.

A lower entry point. Our fit starts at roughly $1M to $50M a year on Amazon; AMZ Pathfinder asks for $100,000+ a month in one marketplace.

Senior specialists only. Every specialist has 7+ years of Amazon experience. You meet the exact team before you sign, and that team runs your account.

A profit plan for every product. Every product gets a target TACoS, a target ACoS, keywords to rank for and a profit goal, tracked daily and reviewed on a weekly call.

Global Amazon marketplaces with local offices. We manage Amazon in the US, UK, Europe, Australia and Japan, with offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, Berlin and Sofia.

5.0 on Clutch. Olifant is rated 5.0 from 20 verified reviews on Clutch, and named a top Amazon agency by DesignRush and Influencer Marketing Hub.

Clear terms. Our services start from $2,000 per month and are custom for each project, based on the complexity and workload required, contracts are month to month, and every engagement comes with a 60-day guarantee: if we don't improve your performance, you don't pay.

Where the two agencies are similar

Both agencies are Amazon-first. Both offer PPC, DSP, listing optimization, Storefronts and full account management, both start with an audit, and both work on Amazon in the US, UK and Europe. Both report on profitability, not only ad sales. So the choice usually comes down to whether you want an ads specialist or one team for ads and organic growth, who works on your account each day, and how much you sell today.

How Olifant Digital works: the key differences

Senior specialists only, with 7+ years minimum

Every Olifant account is run by senior specialists with at least 7 years of Amazon experience. Every plan includes a dedicated Account Strategist, PPC Manager, Conversion Designer and Inventory & Catalog Manager (see our Amazon PPC management page), plus a dedicated Slack channel and a weekly call. MatchaBar came to us after working with other agencies, and its senior team added $114,305 in monthly revenue.

Why it matters: the person setting your bids decides where every ad dollar goes. Ask each agency, in writing, for the years of Amazon experience of everyone who will touch your campaigns.

Daily optimization, with a person acting the same day

AMZ Pathfinder's PPC page lists ongoing optimisation after account evaluation, triage and restructuring, and its homepage describes hourly decisions with dayparting. Our in-house AI platform, Olifant AI, analyzes every campaign, keyword and placement each day, and your specialist acts on its findings the same day. Spade to Fork grew revenue 46% and cut ACoS 19% in 44 days.

Use this test with any agency: ask for the change log from the last 7 days. Daily management shows changes on most of those days, with a reason next to each one. A simple rule we use: when a search term has zero orders after 14 days and has spent more than one unit's selling price, add it as a negative exact match. At a $40 price, that cutoff is $40 of spend with no sale.

TACoS and profit on every product

We judge every product by TACoS and profit after fees, ads and returns. Here is why ACoS or ROAS alone can mislead:

Worked example. Spend $10,000 on ads against $40,000 in ad sales and $100,000 in total sales: ACoS is 25% (ROAS 4.0), TACoS is 10%. Next month, ad spend rises to $15,000, ad sales reach $55,000 and total sales reach $110,000. ACoS moves from 25% to 27.3%, which looks stable. TACoS moves from 10% to 13.6%: ad cost per total sales dollar rose 36% while total sales grew only 10%.

That gap is where margin disappears. Set each product's target ACoS from its margin:

1. Find the margin before ads. A $40 product with $26 in product cost, Amazon fees and shipping leaves $14.

2. Work out break-even ACoS. $14 divided by $40 is 35%, the point where ads erase the profit.

3. Set the target below break-even. A 25% target means $10 in ad cost per sale, which keeps $4 of profit per ad-attributed order.

This is how we report on Ekster, which added $688,406 in yearly Amazon profit.

Selling outside the US

AMZ Pathfinder lists the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Canada and India among its marketplaces (agency page), so both agencies sell abroad. The difference is presence: AMZ Pathfinder describes itself as a 100% remote company, while we have offices in London and Berlin and also run Australia and Japan. We run Amazon in the US, UK, Europe, Australia and Japan, with localization and compliance included, and a team in London. Ekster scaled across US and EU marketplaces, Onsen Secret expanded into Europe and Japan, and OneRoot grew sales 40% and expanded into Japan.

Who is AMZ Pathfinder?

AMZ Pathfinder is an Amazon advertising agency founded in summer 2015 by Brent Zahradnik, according to its team page. The same page describes a 100% remote company with team members in several countries, and its site says it is powered by SellerPlex.

Its PPC page covers keyword research, search term negation, placement bidding, wasted spend cleanup and bid rules, and its full account management page covers listing health, inventory, buy box monitoring, customer messages and reimbursements through partners. Its agency page says it works with brands that bring in at least $100,000 a month in one Amazon marketplace.

AMZ Pathfinder publishes these results on its case studies page and homepage: $5.6M in ad sales at a 22.59% ACoS for a craft supplies seller, a 70% organic revenue increase in one year for a wallet maker, a 4.78x ROAS on $640,000 of spend for Healing & Bliss, and Amazon DSP results for Viter Energy (3.25 ROAS) and Tree to Tub (1.80 ROAS). We did not find published pricing for ongoing management or a guarantee.

Signs it may be time to switch agencies

Switching has a cost, so only do it for a clear reason. These are the most common ones we hear:

TACoS keeps rising while total sales stay flat. Ads are buying sales you would have made anyway.

Ads improve but listings don't. Campaigns get tuned while images, titles and A+ Content stay the same, so conversion caps your growth.

You can't name who changes your bids. Ask who makes the changes, how much experience they have, how often and against which metric.

Reports show ROAS, not profit. You see return on ad spend but no profit per product after fees.

Growth has stalled for 3+ months. The plan has not changed even though results have.

What switching from AMZ Pathfinder looks like

Your campaigns, search term data and sales history live in your own Seller Central and advertising accounts, so they stay with you. Before you give notice:

Confirm admin access. Make your own login the primary admin on Seller Central or Vendor Central and the Amazon Ads console.

Export bid rules and dayparting. Ask for a copy of any bid rules, dayparting schedules and third-party tool settings, and check whose name the tool seats are in.

Check your DSP, AMC and Google setup. Confirm your DSP advertiser, AMC queries, Google Ads account and attribution tags are in your name, or export them.

Keep your creative files. Ask for the source files of your images, A+ Content and Store.

Export your reports. Download search term reports, negative keyword lists and a bulk file of every campaign.

Set one handover date. Agree the day editing rights move, so only one team changes bids and budgets at a time. Note any open deals, coupons and inbound shipments.

Once you move to Olifant Digital, the timeline looks like this:

Weeks 1 to 2: we audit your account, campaign history, listings and margins, and agree a target TACoS, ACoS and profit goal per product with you.

Weeks 3 to 6: we rebuild campaign structure, cut search terms that spend without selling and fix listings that hold back sales.

After that: wasted spend usually falls first, and the bigger gains in sales and profit follow over the next 2 to 3 months.

Ownership: your account, campaigns, data and Brand Registry stay in your brand's name the whole time.

Which agency is right for you?

Choose Olifant Digital if...	Choose AMZ Pathfinder if...
You sell roughly $1M to $50M a year on Amazon and want one senior team for ads and organic growth	You already sell $100,000+ a month in one marketplace and want an ads-first team
You want senior specialists with 7+ years of experience on your account daily	Amazon DSP, AMC and Google-to-Amazon ads are your top priority
You judge ads on TACoS and profit per product	Hourly bidding and dayparting matter for your category
You want Walmart, Target, Google or Meta handled by the same team	Amazon is your only channel
You want a published starting price, month-to-month terms and a 60-day guarantee	AMZ Pathfinder is delivering and you value continuity

When Olifant Digital is not the right fit

If you sell under roughly $1M a year on Amazon, we are not the right fit yet. Focus on listings and a simple campaign structure first: fix titles, images and bullets on your top 5 products, then run one exact match and one auto campaign per hero product.
