Overview
Salt XC is a North American marketing and technology agency focused on Experiential Commerce, which blends consumers’ online and offline journeys to drive measurable actions for brands. It combines strategy, creative, design, media, content, and commerce with a proprietary AI-enabled tech stack, including Media Mob (content marketplace for vetted freelancers), Podium (marketing mix modeling to predict outcomes), Frontrunner (social DSP that automates media buying), and Otto (AI media planning). The company differentiates itself by acting as a hybrid of full‑service agency and tech firm, owning an in‑house tech stack to execute faster and more data-driven campaigns, and expanding through acquisitions to integrate retail media, data analytics, and real‑world experiences. Its goal is to deliver connected, data-informed experiences that convert—scaling across North America for major brands such as Kraft Heinz, Adidas, Coca‑Cola, Visa, Microsoft Xbox, and RBC.

/CNW/ - Salt XC today announced a strategic investment in William Thomas Digital (WTD), a technology-driven CRM and customer experience consultancy...
Toronto-based independent agency Salt XC has acquired Craft & Commerce, a full-service media agency with offices in New York, Chicago and Florida. This marks Salt XC's second US acquisition in a year as it expands its North American presence despite ongoing trade tensions between the US and Canada. The acquisition strengthens Salt XC's regional reach and media capabilities, combining experiential marketing with retail media expertise. Clients include Kraft-Heinz, AB InBev, Adidas and Chobani. Craft & Commerce will continue operating under its own name for now. Salt XC's previous acquisition of AI-driven agency Nectar First has enhanced its technological capabilities. Analyst Andrew Lipsman called the move a natural fit, noting both agencies' forward-thinking approach to retail media and experiential activation. Financial terms were not disclosed.
