What Skai is

Skai (formerly Kenshoo) is an enterprise omnichannel marketing platform for managing and optimizing paid media across search, social and retail media.

Skai is built for large advertisers and agencies running big budgets across many channels — strong on data, bid optimization and retail media. It's powerful but heavy: it manages and optimizes, while the creative, the pages and the day-to-day execution stay on your team.

The difference

Most tools stop at insight or optimization. Meerkats closes the loop.

Skai is an enterprise console for managing and optimizing media at scale. Meerkats is an operator: it creates the campaigns, creatives and landing pages, ships them on your approval, and optimizes toward the revenue your CRM reports.

It creates, not just critiques

Agents write the campaigns, generate the creatives, and build the landing pages — so insight turns into shipped work, not a to-do list.

It optimizes to revenue

Connected to your CRM, Meerkats tunes spend toward what actually closes — not the cheapest click or the best on-platform ROAS.
