BrandPilot AI Selected by National Canadian Grocery Retailer to Drive Advertising Efficiency at Scale

Rollout Across Select Campaigns Reflects Early-Stage Expansion into Grocery Segment

TORONTO, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BrandPilot AI Inc. (CSE: BPAI) (OTCQB: BPAIF) (“BrandPilot” or the “Company”), a performance marketing technology company focused on improving efficiency in digital advertising, today announced that a national Canadian grocery retailer has selected BrandPilot’s technology for a rollout across select digital campaigns.

The work will focus on improving the quality of campaign signals, increasing audience precision, and enabling more efficient allocation of marketing spend across automated advertising channels. By addressing inefficiencies at the data and execution level, BrandPilot’s platform is designed to support more consistent and reliable performance outcomes at scale.

“Grocery retail operates on high volumes where even small inefficiencies can have a meaningful impact on performance,” said Brandon Mina, Chief Executive Officer of BrandPilot AI. “This selection reflects a broader shift among large retailers toward solutions that provide clearer visibility into performance and support more disciplined, data-driven decision-making. As automation increases, confidence in the underlying data becomes critical.”

Mr. Mina added, “Our platform is built to improve the quality of the inputs that drive campaign performance. By helping marketers isolate and remove low-quality signals, we enable more accurate optimization and more efficient use of marketing budgets.”

The Company notes that this initiative represents an early-stage deployment and that no material commercial agreement has been announced. The scope of work is limited, and commercial terms and potential financial impact have not yet been determined.

Management further notes that references to expansion within the retail vertical and engagement with national and enterprise-scale organizations reflect early-stage discussions, evaluations, and limited deployments, and should not be interpreted as indicative of confirmed revenue.
