The hits keep coming. Nift has once again been named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™.

One of North America’s fastest-growing technology companies, driven by 731% revenue growth over the past three years. 💪

[Full release in comments]

For the first time, the people who own the transaction are also becoming the most powerful media owners in the room. 

Walmart, Target, Kroger, Instacart, Uber, DoorDash… they have carts, orders,  identities, and now the media dollars.

Everyone’s hyped about retail media racing toward ~$100B. The more interesting question is: what happens when every “ad opportunity” is attached to a logged-in, paying customer?

The space is still relatively new, but its month-over-month rate of change can give you whiplash. If you still think commerce media is “sponsored products on a retailer’s site,” you’re already behind.

This is fast becoming the default way brands buy performance media:
closer to the transaction, closer to the customer, closer to actual revenue.

And the tension no one wants to talk about? there’s a ceiling on how many ads you can jam into an app, a feed, or a checkout flow before users tap out.

So the next phase isn’t “more ads.” It’s:

– Turning high-intent moments into value, not noise
– Growing yield per user without torching the experience
– Bringing in non-endemic dollars w/out turning into Times Square

The players who solve that balance — retailers, apps, BNPLs, streamers — will own the next decade of advertising. 

Everyone else will be arguing about CPMs while their users quietly churn.

Big milestone for us at Nift: we’re continuing our expansion in the UK with another phenomenal partner.

When Nift started, the idea was simple– help people discover great brands through gifts that actually feel good to receive. Watching that idea grow from a handful of partners in the U.S. to working with some of the biggest consumer apps in the world… that’s been surreal.

This latest addition to our UK partner ecosystem is a reminder of how far the team has taken this. 

New markets, new partners, and the same belief that there’s a better way for brands and consumers to connect than another interruptive ad.

I’m incredibly proud of what we’re building and even more excited for what opening up the UK unlocks next.

We’re pleased to share that Nift is partnering with Clearpay (Afterpay) as we expand into the UK.

Through this partnership, Clearpay customers will receive thoughtful thank-you gifts at meaningful moments in their journey—helping them discover brands they’ll love, while giving Clearpay a way to generate incremental revenue without interrupting the experience.

It also offers brands a more thoughtful path to reaching new audiences, rooted in relevance and choice rather than disruption.

We’re grateful to be partnering with Clearpay and look forward to what we’ll build together. 💪

I show the creativity of Movies & 3D + AI | 3D Artist at ARJEANNIE | Film Industry Enthusiastic | Follow me for daily content about Movies, 3D and AI

I love Movies.
I love 3D.
Movies have always captured my imagination, and discovering 3D art unlocked a whole new universe for creative expression. Inspired by the thrill of mixing classic film storytelling with the limitless possibilities of modern technology, I live by the idea: "If you can dream it, you can do it."

🌟 Movies & 3D: Where Magic Happens 🌟

My journey as a movie lover and 3D enthusiast has taught me that passion and curiosity are the secret ingredients to growth. With over 35k followers in my community, I've been lucky to connect with creative minds who share my love for visual storytelling. Staying up-to-date with cutting-edge tools and innovative techniques keeps my work fresh—and I’m always excited to learn and share what I discover.

✍️ Sharing My Passions: Film, 3D and AI ✍️

On LinkedIn, I write about the adventures I find in movies, entertainment, personal development, and 3D art. Also, with the rise of AI tools, I got a whole new subject to cover too!
My posts blend fun facts, personal stories, and practical tips for fellow creatives looking to innovate or simply enjoy a new perspective. 

Hit the 🔔 to follow my journey and dive into the world of storytelling and creativity.

Animation, for me, is the ultimate way to bring stories to life—and some of the greatest films ever made stand as proof. Let’s keep pushing boundaries in 3D together and see just how far imagination can take us!

I created this Stranger Things ad with Weavy!

Here’s how I did it:

01. I opened Chat GPT
02. I asked for a Cola can
03. I opened Weavy and imported the image
04. I added Nano Banana
05. I changed the can to Stranger things
07. I added Kling 2.1
08. I put the Cola in the first frame
09. I put the Stranger Things can in the last

I wrote this prompt:

DO A CINEMATIC AND MAGICAL TRANSITION BETWEEN THE COCA COLA CAN AND THE STRANGER THINGS CAN

10. I added Nano Banana
11. I connected the Stranger Things can

I wrote this prompt:

A MAN HOLDING THAT CAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, MAKE SURE YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE STRANGER THINGS TITLE

Then I got the guy with the Stranger Things can.

12. I added another Nano Banana:

MAKE THE SKY DARK BLUE, FULL OF RED LIGHTNINGS ALL OVER IT

So now I have the guy in modern street, and in Hawkins.

13. I added Kling 2.1
14. Put the modern in the first frame
15. I put the Hawkins in the last frame.

I wrote this prompt:

THE MAN DRINKS THE CAN AND THEN IS SLOWLY TRANSFORM INTO HAWKINS, MAKE THE TRANSITION CINEMATIC AND MAGICAL

After that I did some editing, and that’s it!

It’s amazing how I just got the idea into my head, and then, minutes later, I already got this ad!

Once again, the AI proves that it’s still just a tool.

It works thanks to my knowledge in 3D, Filmmaking, Cinematography, etc.
This is the definition of innovation!

The only limitation is your imagination (and your skills).

It’s all about finding the right balance between Human skills and AI.
