Whether you operate a retail media network, a digital publication, or a streaming service, Kana's agentic platform addresses the unique revenue, operations, and personalization challenges of your segment.

Retail & Commerce Media Networks

Media Networks Are Undermonetizing Their First-Party Advantage

Retail and commerce media networks sit on rich, purchase-linked first-party data, but fragmented audience infrastructure, slow sales cycles, and manual ops are preventing them from competing at the scale of walled gardens.

Challenge #1
Closed-loop ROI measurement is too hard to prove at scale

Brand advertisers demand proof that media spend drives actual sales, but linking impression exposure to purchase transactions across systems requires significant manual work, and results arrive too late to influence budget decisions.

Sales Intelligence

Integrates campaign delivery data with transaction signals, generating closed-loop attribution reporting that sales teams can use to defend and grow brand budgets in real time.

Solution
Challenge #2
RFP responses and proposal creation can't keep pace with demand

Building a compelling media package, pulling audience data, assembling category benchmarks, and formatting a proposal, takes sellers days. That timeline limits deal volume and disadvantages sellers against faster-moving competitors.

Media Proposal Generator

Continuously monitors share-of-voice, sentiment, and competitive signals, alerting teams to brand risks before they become revenue risks.

Solution
Challenge #3
Audience data is fragmented across retail touchpoints

Customer signals from e-commerce, in-store, app, and loyalty programs sit in separate systems, making it difficult to build the verified, high-fidelity audience packages that brand advertisers increasingly demand.

Audience Builder

Unifies first-party signals across all retail touchpoints into a coherent, activatable audience layer, enabling premium audience packaging and precision targeting for advertisers.

Solution
Challenge #4
Campaign operations require manual effort to maintain visibility

Retailer media planning, co-op budget tracking, and shopper program performance are managed in Excel — disconnected from brand and performance marketing systems.

Campaign Orchestrator

Automates campaign pacing, delivery monitoring, and performance reporting, giving ops teams real-time visibility across every campaign in flight, without the manual overhead.

Solution
Challenge #5
Brand safety and AI discovery are unmanaged risks

As brand advertisers scrutinize contextual adjacency and how their brands appear in AI answer environments, media networks need proactive governance infrastructure, not a reactive response after an incident.

LLM Command Center

Monitors brand-safe inventory signals and tracks how advertiser and publisher brands appear across AI-generated content environments, turning a governance risk into a competitive differentiator.

Print / Digital / Audio Publishers

Publishers Are Navigating a Structural Revenue Shift

Between cookie deprecation, declining display CPMs, AI-powered content discovery eroding search traffic, and subscription headwinds, publishers face simultaneous pressure on both advertising and subscription revenue, with legacy infrastructure that wasn't built for what comes next.

Challenge #1
First-party data strategy has no clear path to activation

Publishers sitting on rich first-party behavioral data have no efficient way to segment, package, or activate it for advertisers or their own subscriber marketing, leaving the most durable post-cookie asset underutilized.

Audience Builder

Helps publishers build, enrich, and activate first-party audience data as a premium, monetizable asset, enabling precise audience packaging for direct-sold campaigns without a data engineering overhaul.

Solution
Challenge #2
AI answer engines are intercepting content traffic

AI-powered search tools and assistants answer user queries directly, without sending traffic to publisher sites. Content that built audiences through search discovery is losing reach without publishers knowing how, where, or how to respond.

LLM Command Center

Monitors how publisher content appears in AI-generated responses across major LLMs, identifies coverage and accuracy gaps, and surfaces opportunities to optimize content for AI-era discovery and attribution.

Explore
Solution
Challenge #3
Direct sales teams can't scale proposal creation to match demand

Building a differentiated, audience-backed media package requires pulling data from multiple systems and crafting category context, a process that bottlenecks sellers and limits the number of opportunities a team can pursue at once.

Sales Intelligence

Including the Media Proposal Generator agent, enables sellers to produce data-backed, tailored proposals in minutes, increasing deal volume without adding headcount.

Solution
Challenge #4
Subscriber retention requires personalization infrastructure most publishers don't have

Churn spikes at renewal windows, after content gaps, or when competitive alternatives launch. Most publishers lack the infrastructure to identify at-risk subscribers early and intervene with personalized, timely offers.

Personalization

Monitors subscriber engagement signals in real time, identifying churn risk indicators early and triggering tailored retention offers and content experiences before cancellation intent solidifies.

Explore
Solution
Challenge #5
Campaign operations across formats are still largely manual

Managing delivery, pacing, and performance reporting across display, native, newsletter, audio, and podcast inventory simultaneously creates significant ops overhead, and manual errors damage advertiser relationships and renewal rates.

Campaign Orchestrator

Automates campaign monitoring, pacing alerts, and cross-format performance reporting, reducing manual burden while improving delivery accuracy and client satisfaction.

Streaming & Video (OTT / AVOD / SVOD / CTV)

Streaming Platforms Are Caught Between Revenue and Experience

Streaming and video platforms face competing pressures: maximizing ad revenue and subscriber LTV while protecting the viewer experience that keeps subscribers engaged. Neither goal is achievable with the batch workflows and manual ops models most platforms are still running on.

Challenge #1
Subscriber churn signals aren't connected to real-time retention action

Churn models exist, but by the time risk scores reach the marketing layer, at-risk subscribers have often already cancelled. Intervention needs to happen at the behavioral signal, not days later through a batch campaign.

Personalization

Triggers tailored retention offers and content recommendations the moment behavioral churn signals cross a risk threshold, automating the intervention that prevents cancellations before they happen.

Explore
Solution
Challenge #2
Ad load and pod structure are optimized by fixed rules, not viewer signals

Ad break frequency, pod length, and interruption timing are set as static rules, not adjusted dynamically based on viewer engagement, content type, session depth, or real-time yield outcomes.

Campaign Orchestrator

Surfaces ad load intelligence in real time, enabling ops and ad product teams to optimize delivery rules based on engagement signals and yield outcomes, without manual override cycles.

Explore
Solution
Challenge #3
Content investment ROI is opaque until long after a title releases

Greenlight and renewal decisions rely on incomplete visibility into how content titles actually drive subscriber acquisition, retention uplift, and long-term engagement, forcing reliance on instinct over real-time evidence.

Campaign Orchestrator

Synthesizes viewership, subscriber impact, and engagement data into content ROI intelligence that informs both in-flight optimization and future investment decisions.

Explore
Solution
Challenge #4
Identity fragmentation across devices degrades targeting and personalization

A single viewer appearing as four different users across mobile, smart TV, laptop, and tablet fragments behavioral signals, making content personalization less relevant and ad targeting less precise and valuable.

Audience Builder

Resolves identity signals across device environments, building a unified viewer profile that improves both content personalization accuracy and the quality of audience segments available to advertisers.

Explore
Solution
Challenge #5
AI discovery is eroding organic content reach

As consumers increasingly use AI assistants to find shows and content, streaming platforms that don't actively manage their presence in AI-generated recommendations risk losing organic discovery to competitors who do.

LLM Command Center

Monitors and optimizes how streaming content appears across AI discovery environments, turning a passive distribution risk into an active, manageable competitive advantage.
