Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 21, 2026) - 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 Canadian retail brand with over 120 retail locations across Canada and a growing eCommerce presence, has selected BrandPilot's technology for implementation across select digital campaigns.

The initial implementation will support the retailer's efforts to enhance campaign precision, refine audience targeting, and optimize performance across increasingly automated digital marketing environments.

"Operating in highly competitive environments like retail requires marketers to have access to solutions that provide clear, actionable insight into campaign performance," said Brandon Mina, Chief Executive Officer of BrandPilot AI. "Our performance-based model is designed to identify inefficiencies, support real-time optimization, and enable more effective allocation of marketing spend. This client engagement followed an initial implementation period during which our technology was applied to improve campaign efficiency and overall performance."

Mr. Mina continued, "As we continue to engage with the market, we are seeing increasing interest from enterprise advertisers in performance-based approaches to digital marketing, particularly those focused on improving efficiency, accountability, and measurable outcomes."

Management notes that this initial implementation reflects continued progress within the Company's enterprise pipeline, including increased participation from retail organizations evaluating performance-based approaches to digital marketing optimization, and supports BrandPilot's strategy of expanding adoption among advertisers seeking greater efficiency, performance visibility, and more effective allocation of digital marketing investment.
