Miami, FL– April 7, 2026 — AI Digital, the AI-native consultancy and innovation partner powered by an Open Garden Framework, today announces the relaunch of Elevate — its AI-powered marketing intelligence platform, redesigned to unify research, planning, optimization, and reporting across the full digital landscape. Elevate transforms cross-channel fragmentation into a single intelligence layer, giving agencies and brands total visibility, clarity, and control to drive measurable business results — whilst cutting manual research and planning hours by 90%. 

Built on AI Digital's Open Garden Framework, Elevate shifts how digital and programmatic advertising are planned, activated, and measured — offering a glass-box intelligence engine for a market plagued by black-box AI. Unlike traditional walled-garden approaches that limit data access, restrict cross-channel visibility, and prioritize platform incentives, Elevate is KPI-first and ecosystem-neutral, freeing marketers to select the best technology, inventory, and data partners for every brief. Early adopters report up to 70% reductions in reporting time, shifting teams from administration to high-value strategy and client advisory work.

Why Elevate, Why Now

Marketers face fragmented tools, closed ecosystems, and unclear algorithms that often favor platform revenue over campaign performance. 

Elevate changes this by consolidating every critical function — research, planning, optimization, and reporting — into one AI-driven platform. Drawing from billions of monthly data points and thousands of audience attributes, it enables faster strategy, KPI-aligned actions, and stronger client narratives.

What Elevate Delivers

Elevate is structured around four core capabilities:

  • Research: Deep competitor insights, audience understanding media intelligence. 
  • Plan: AI-assisted media planning turns complex briefs into strategies in seconds, including benchmark forecasts, competitive analysis, and cookieless targeting with 95%+ confidence across key metrics.
  • Optimization & Reporting: The module centralizes all channel data into one clear, easy-to-control performance hub. The platform standardizes performance data across all channels, making it easy to compare results and understand what’s truly driving impact.
  • Advanced Analytics: Unified dashboard eliminates silos, delivering Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM), Path to Conversion, and an AI Campaign Analytics Assistant for strategic insights.

Underpinning it all is Elevate’s Open Market data layer, spanning Meta, Google, Amazon, YouTube, TikTok, and 15+ DSPs without vendor constraints.

Built Different: Key Differentiators

  • Glass-Box AI: Complete clarity into every decision — no hidden logic.
  • DSP-Agnostic: Full digital ecosystem coverage, no lock-in or bias.
  • Human + AI: 200+ expert auditors ensure precision.
  • White-Label Ready: Branded reports feel in-house.
  • Zero Platform Cost: Clients don’t pay extra for the  features— all fees are included in AI Digital partnership.

Measurable Impact

Programmatic media often represents just 15–20% of a client’s budget,  yet accounts for up to 80% of the operational burden.

Elevate tackles digital/programmatic imbalances head-on:

  • 90%+ reduction in manual research/planning
  • 20–30% drop in data/planning expenses
  • 70% faster reporting/analysis
  • 5–20% savings in targeting; 5–20% retainer uplift
  • 4–7% better budget distribution
  • x3 conversion optimization

“Programmatic shouldn’t be a black box,” said Stephen Magli, CEO of AI Digital. “With Elevate, we’re giving agencies clear, AI-powered intelligence that cuts complexity, saves time, and keeps every decision focused on the client’s KPIs — not platform incentives.”

Powered by Open Garden

Elevate is the intelligence core of AI Digital’s Open Garden Framework, prioritizing brand KPIs over platform incentives.
