The short answer

Canopy is bigger. It has 100+ experts, 1,000+ brands, its own ad software (C.A.T.), Chewy management and no minimum, per its website.
Olifant has fewer layers between you and the work. The senior account managers (7+ years) who set your strategy make the daily changes on your account themselves.
Olifant runs the whole Amazon business. PPC and DSP, SEO and listings, conversion rate optimization and A/B testing, catalog management, product photography, video and A+ Content, inventory management and reimbursement claims, all under one senior team.
A profit target for every product. Every product gets a target TACoS, a target ACoS and a profit goal, with the 1-1-1-1 campaign structure and the Kill Threshold Rule.
Proof from real store data. In 2026, Eye on Ball grew Amazon US store sales 113%, Novalogy 66% and Dreamfarm 45% year over year, measured on each brand's own Seller Central data.
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. Contracts are month to month, and every engagement comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee: if you're not happy in the first 60 days, Olifant Digital refunds its management fees.

Why choose Olifant Digital over Canopy Management for Amazon?

If you are hiring an agency to grow on Amazon, these are the five reasons brands pick Olifant Digital.

Senior account managers work your Amazon account every day. Bids, budgets, search terms and placements are changed daily by account managers with 7+ years of Amazon experience, a hiring requirement, and each account manager manages 5 to 6 brands. The people on your strategy call are the ones running the account.
A clear rulebook behind every decision. Every product gets a target TACoS, target ACoS and profit goal, campaigns follow the 1-1-1-1 structure, and the Kill Threshold Rule pauses a keyword when it has zero sales after 14 days and has spent twice what a single sale earns before ad costs. In the 50+ accounts Olifant Digital manages, the top 10 search terms took only 28% of spend at the median account, so most of the budget sits in hundreds of smaller terms that need checking every day.
Full Amazon service under one team. Amazon PPC and DSP, SEO and listings, conversion rate optimization and A/B testing, catalog management, product photography, video and A+ Content, inventory management, reimbursement claims and account health, for Seller Central and Vendor Central brands. Olifant Digital runs the whole Amazon business, not only the ads.
Named Amazon results you can check. Published case studies with dollar figures, like +$114,305 in monthly Amazon revenue for MatchaBar and 391% sales growth for Wedge Guys.
Terms that keep the risk on Olifant Digital. 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 money-back guarantee: if you're not happy in the first 60 days, Olifant Digital refunds its management fees.

The senior account manager who builds your strategy also runs your account day to day, changing bids, listings and budgets, with no handoff between strategy and execution. Olifant Digital has dedicated teams for Walmart and Target, and a separate DTC team for Meta and Google Ads.

Canopy Management is a strong choice for brands that want a large team of 100+ experts, Chewy management, customer service management or an agency with no minimum.

The biggest structural difference is team size. Canopy lists "over 100+ Amazon and Walmart experts" on its team page, with Brand Directors and Partner Success Managers. Olifant Digital runs a senior-only team, so the account managers who set your strategy also make the daily changes on your account, with fewer handoffs in between.

Most brands look for an alternative when results stall, when they can't say who makes changes on their account, or when their agency only manages the ads while listings, creative and inventory sit with someone else. If none of these apply, staying with Canopy may be the right call.

Data as of October 2026.

Where Olifant Digital is stronger

Fewer layers, senior hands on your account. Canopy's team page lists Brand Directors and Partner Success Managers alongside its ad specialists. At Olifant, the senior account managers (7+ years) you meet before signing set the strategy and make the daily changes themselves, and each one manages 5 to 6 brands. Ask any agency you shortlist how many brands your account manager handles.
The whole Amazon business, not only the ads. One senior team runs PPC and DSP, SEO and listings, conversion rate optimization and A/B testing, catalog management, product photography, video and A+ Content, inventory management and reimbursement claims. When sales drop, Olifant Digital fixes the cause where it starts: the bid, the listing, the price or the stock level.
A profit rulebook for every product. Every product gets a target TACoS, target ACoS and profit goal, campaigns follow the 1-1-1-1 structure, and the Kill Threshold Rule pauses a keyword when it has zero sales after 14 days and has spent twice what a single sale earns before ad costs. Canopy publishes an average instead: 84% year-over-year profit growth.
Terms that keep the risk on Olifant Digital. Services start from $2,000 per month, contracts are month to month, and every engagement comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee: if you're not happy in the first 60 days, Olifant Digital refunds its management fees. Olifant Digital did not find published pricing or a guarantee on Canopy's website.
Named Amazon results. CHILEMOY grew from $20K to $192,814 a month on Amazon, Ekster added $688,406 in yearly Amazon profit, and Elite Jumps grew revenue 124% in 3 months after multiple agencies had churned. In 2026, Eye on Ball grew Amazon US store sales 113%, Novalogy 66% and Dreamfarm 45% year over year.
Built for established brands. Olifant Digital works best for brands doing roughly $1M+ a year on Amazon, so the playbook is built for that stage. Smaller brands can still benefit from a free account audit to see where they stand. Olifant Digital has dedicated teams for Walmart and Target, and a separate DTC team for Meta and Google Ads for Shopify brands.

Where Canopy Management is stronger

Canopy has real advantages, and for some brands they matter more than anything above:

Scale and resources. Canopy says it has scaled 1,000+ brands and manages $3.2B+ in revenue, with a team of 100+ experts. Few agencies can match that bench.
Chewy. Canopy manages Chewy as well as Amazon and Walmart. If you sell pet products on Chewy, that is a real advantage, and Olifant Digital does not offer it.
Customer service management. Canopy offers customer service management for buyer messages. Olifant Digital does not.
No minimum. Canopy's full-service FAQ says there are no minimum requirements, so early-stage brands can start there.
Track record and awards. Canopy says it has helped brands since 2015, ranked #325 on the 2022 Inc. 500 and claims 99.1% partner retention.

Where the two agencies are similar

Both agencies adjust campaigns daily and hold weekly meetings with clients, according to Canopy Management. Both run their own software, Canopy's C.A.T. and Olifant Digital's Olifant AI. Both put profit ahead of ROAS, and both offer Amazon DSP, Walmart and Shopify. So the choice usually comes down to how many layers sit between you and the people doing the work, how much of your Amazon business one team owns, and the terms.

Who is Canopy Management?

Canopy Management is a full-service Amazon agency based in Austin, Texas. According to its team page, CEO Brian Burt launched it with Brian Johnson, and its homepage says it has helped brands "since 2015". It calls itself "the leaders in full-service Amazon & Walmart solutions".

Canopy Management says C.A.T. powers 4,183 brands and that its ad specialists use it for daily campaign adjustments. Named clients include Zugu (+161% sales) and Updraft Ventures. Olifant Digital did not find published pricing or a guarantee on its website.

What clients say: Canopy Management reviews and Olifant Digital reviews

What Canopy Management clients say

One Canopy client wrote on Canopy's results page:

"They've taken our e-commerce business to the next level, which we wouldn't have achieved without their team." (Rich K., VP, Glissen Chemical Company)

What Olifant Digital clients say

Brian Dalton, founder of Wedge Guys, wrote that Olifant Digital helped grow their sales from $2 million to $4.5 million while keeping ROAS above 3.0:

"They have a full team, and everyone knows their role and responsibility." (Brian Dalton, Founder, Wedge Guys)

Across recent client check-in calls Olifant Digital reviewed (2026 data, anonymised), the most common praise was about results and growth (22 calls), expertise and strategy (13), better profitability (10) and proactive ideas (9). One client put it simply: "We're getting significantly better ROI for every dollar spent compared with last year."

From a client's Slack channel: "Massively great numbers... TACoS coming down 10 points." (Olifant Digital client, US beverage brand on Amazon)

Whichever agency you shortlist, ask for a sample weekly report and check that it lists the exact changes made to your campaigns.

Signs it may be time to switch agencies

Switching has a cost, so only do it for a clear reason. On 28 recent sales calls with brands looking for a new Amazon partner (2026 data), the reasons heard most were stalled results (11 calls) and no clear strategy or new ideas (11). These are the signs to watch for:

TACoS keeps rising while total sales stay flat. Ads are buying sales you would have made anyway.
You can't name who changes your bids. Ask who makes the changes, how often and against which metric.
Reports show activity, not profit. You see impressions and ACoS but no profit per product.
Your agency only manages the ads. Listings, creative, inventory and reimbursements sit with someone else, so nobody owns the whole result.
Growth has stalled for 3+ months. The plan has not changed even though results have.
Not sure if switching is worth it? Olifant Digital will review your account and show you where spend is wasted, before you decide anything. Get your free Amazon account audit.

What switching to Olifant Digital 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:

Check your notice period. Read your current agreement so the handover dates line up and you never pay two agencies for long.
Export your reports. Download any dashboard history you want to keep, since C.A.T. is Canopy's software and access may end with the contract.
Keep campaigns running. Don't pause ads during the handover. The new team should take over live campaigns, not restart them.
Confirm ownership. Make sure Brand Registry, Seller Central and ad accounts are in your brand's name, then remove old user access.

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

Weeks 1 to 2: Olifant Digital audits your account, campaign history and listings, and agrees targets per product with you.
Weeks 3 to 6: the team rebuilds campaign structure, cuts search terms that spend without selling and fixes the 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.

What Olifant Digital sees in the accounts it manages

Both agencies publish big averages. Here is what sits underneath them in Olifant Digital's own accounts: 50+ Amazon advertising accounts it manages, using 2026 data, with no client names.

28%
of spend went to the top 10 search terms at the median account; the rest was spread across hundreds of smaller terms
4.8%
of ad spend at the median account went to search terms with 10+ clicks and no sale; daily checks and Olifant Digital's Kill Threshold Rule cut clear losers early
87%
of Sponsored Brands sales came from shoppers new to the brand, at a 34% median ACoS
78%
of Sponsored Display sales came from shoppers new to the brand, at a 21% median ACoS

Most of the money in an Amazon account sits in hundreds of small decisions, not a few big ones. That is why a senior account manager checks search terms every day and sets targets per product and ad type, instead of managing to one account-wide average.

The leaks Olifant Digital looks for every week

Big averages hide small leaks. In accounts Olifant Digital takes over, the weekly report usually names a few on its own: campaigns that were meant to be paused but were still spending, product-page placements running at 89% to 172% ACoS, and junk search terms that take clicks and never sell. The team lists each fix in the Monday report, next to the profit and margin for every product.

Ask any agency you are comparing for a recent weekly report and check whether it names fixes like these.

Why Olifant Digital plans on TACoS and profit per product

ACoS is ad spend divided by ad-attributed sales. TACoS is ad spend divided by total sales, including organic. Example: $10,000 in ad spend, $40,000 in ad sales and $100,000 in total sales gives an ACoS of 25% and a TACoS of 10%.

Ads keep getting more expensive. According to Amazon's 2025 annual report, its advertising services revenue grew from $56,214 million in 2024 to $68,635 million in 2025, roughly 22% in one year. That is why Olifant Digital judges every product by TACoS and profit, not ad efficiency alone. Moving Onsen Secret from ACoS to TACoS targets tripled its Amazon profit and added $95,934 in monthly revenue, as the Onsen Secret case study shows.

Olifant Digital case studies

Case studies show what is possible. Store data shows what is happening now. Here is how three brands Olifant Digital manages grew on Amazon US in 2026:

Amazon US store sales growth, 2026 vs 2025
+113%
Eye on Ball, Amazon US
+66%
Novalogy, light therapy glasses, Amazon US
+45%
Dreamfarm, kitchen tools, Amazon US
Amazon store sales growth in the first nine months of 2026 against the same months of 2025, taken from each brand's own Seller Central sales data.

Who Olifant Digital works best for

If you are under roughly $1M a year on Amazon, focus on listings and a simple campaign structure first, because conversion has to work before more ad spend can pay off. Come back when daily optimization has more to work with.
