The short answer
Why choose Olifant Digital over Quartile for Amazon?
If you are hiring an agency to grow on Amazon, these are the five reasons brands pick Olifant Digital.
A senior account manager owns the whole account, including listings, launches and stock, not only the bids. Olifant Digital also has dedicated teams for Walmart and Target, and a separate DTC team for Meta and Google Ads.
Quartile suits brands that mainly want AI bidding with hourly bid changes and one platform across many retailers and search channels.
Why brands compare Quartile alternatives now
Amazon advertising keeps getting more competitive. In 2025, Amazon accounted for more than 75% of all US retail media ad spending, according to EMARKETER retail media analysis, and EMARKETER forecasts Amazon's US ad revenues will grow 17.9% in 2026, to $56.71 billion. According to Marketplace Pulse, 46% of surveyed Amazon sellers cite advertising spend as a top margin concern.
With that much spend on one channel, daily bid and budget calls decide whether your total advertising cost of sales (TACoS) moves in the right direction. A low ACoS can still hide inefficient spending when organic sales do the heavy lifting, which is why brands look at who owns the whole account, not only the bids.
Who is Quartile?
Quartile is a retail media optimization platform with managed service. Its About page says it was founded in 2018 in New York, supports over 5,300 brands in 32 countries, and manages over $2 billion in annual retail ad spend and over $25 billion in annual ad sales. Quartile received Amazon's Scaled Technology Award in 2022, and its Clutch profile lists 250 to 999 employees.
On its Amazon PPC page, Quartile describes AI-powered single keyword campaign management, with a single keyword, single ASIN, single match type structure or your existing structure, and hourly bid adjustments built on Amazon Marketing Stream data. Its homepage says every customer gets dedicated account support from a team of experts.
Quartile covers Amazon Sponsored Ads, Amazon DSP, Walmart, Instacart and Criteo (Target, Best Buy and others), plus Google, Meta, Microsoft and ChatGPT Ads. It offers separate solutions for small businesses and mid-market and enterprise brands. Olifant Digital did not find published pricing on its website.
Who is Olifant Digital?
Olifant Digital is a full-service Amazon and e-commerce marketing agency for established brands that want profitable growth. Its full-service Amazon account management covers strategy, daily PPC management, listing optimization, A+ Content and Brand Store, product launches and profit tracking. Its channels are Amazon, Walmart and Target, plus Meta and Google for DTC brands, and for one US furniture brand it also runs Wayfair alongside Amazon.
You can check results in store data, not only case studies: in 2026, Eye on Ball grew Amazon US store sales 113% and Novalogy 66% year over year, measured on each brand's own Seller Central data. And in the 50+ Amazon ad accounts Olifant Digital manages, under 5% of ad spend at the median account went to search terms with 10+ clicks and no sale, because daily checks and the Kill Threshold Rule cut clear losers early.
Olifant Digital's services start from $2,000 per month and are custom for each project, based on the complexity and workload required. Every account manager on your account is senior, with at least 7 years of experience, and every engagement comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee: if you're not happy in the first 60 days, the management fees are refunded.
How this comparison was made
Olifant Digital used the same four criteria for both: who works on the account and how experienced they are, how often campaigns are optimized, whether reporting goes beyond ACoS to TACoS and profit, and how verifiable the results, reviews and pricing are.
This comparison is published by Olifant Digital. The team used only public information about Quartile, linked to the source for each fact.

How Olifant Digital compares: the key differences
Senior account managers own the whole account
Every Olifant Digital account manager has at least 7 years of experience, and you meet the exact team that runs your account before you sign. That team owns PPC, listings, A+ Content and launches together, because ad performance depends on the detail page as much as the bid. Wedge Guys has worked with Olifant Digital since August 2022, Petralyte since February 2023 and Bullstrap since February 2025.
Quartile assigns dedicated account support to every customer, and its reviewers often name their account manager. Its focus is advertising across channels, and one reviewer mentions it also offers an SEO team for listings.
Olifant Digital runs the whole Amazon business, not only PPC
Bids are only one lever. When Olifant Digital takes on an Amazon account, the same senior team also runs SEO and listings, conversion rate optimization with A/B tests on titles, images and A+ Content, catalog management, product photography and video, inventory planning so ads never push products into stockouts, reimbursement claims and account health. That is how it controls the whole brand on Amazon: when sales drop, the team fixes it where it starts, whether that is the bid, the listing, the price or the stock level.
Daily optimization on every account
Olifant AI, Olifant Digital's in-house platform, analyzes every account daily and surfaces high-converting keywords, wasted spend and budget moves against your margin targets. A senior account manager reviews those calls and acts the same day. 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.
Quartile adjusts bids hourly through Amazon Marketing Stream, which is faster on pure bid changes. The two approaches differ in where the decision sits: software first with account support, or a specialist first with software support.
TACoS and profit on every product
Every Olifant Digital product gets a target TACoS, target ACoS and profit goal, reviewed with you on a weekly call. For Onsen Secret, moving from ACoS to TACoS reporting tripled Amazon profit. Check your own numbers with the free TACoS calculator. Quartile's platform offers granular reports, and its Amazon PPC page focuses on ROAS and wasted ad budget.
Amazon first, plus Walmart and Target
Amazon is Olifant Digital's core focus. The same senior team can run Walmart and Target Plus, and for brands that also sell DTC, Meta and Google Ads. Quartile covers a wider set of ad channels, including Instacart, Criteo retail sites, Microsoft and ChatGPT Ads, which suits brands that want one platform across many retailers.
What bid automation still needs a person for
Bid software, including the tools Olifant Digital uses itself, optimizes on the data it can see. Four calls still need a person who owns the account. Quartile's account teams cover part of this for their clients, so treat this as a checklist for any setup.
"Bid software is great at speed. What it cannot know is that a shipment is stuck or that a listing needs new images before more spend makes sense. Someone has to own those calls, and on our accounts that is a senior account manager who looks at the account every day." (Alex Stoykov, CEO of Olifant Digital)
What Olifant Digital sees in the accounts it manages
Single keyword campaigns and faster bids help, but Olifant Digital's own data shows why structure and targets still need judgment. These numbers come from 50+ Amazon advertising accounts Olifant Digital manages, using 2026 data, with no client names.
With sales spread this wide, the work is deciding which terms deserve their own campaign, what each product can afford to pay for a sale, and when a term has had enough budget. That is why every product gets its own target TACoS, ACoS and profit goal before any bid rule runs.
