Signal & Light's
AI Commerce Origins

Born from the intersection of commerce experience and AI innovation, across brands and agencies

The retail landscape shifts quickly. AI shopping assistants are emerging. ChatGPT and Gemini rise in popularity on the Apple App Store in New Zealand. Google offers AI-powered overviews, streamlining the product discovery process. Retailers start to see less clicks and more referral traffic from ChatGPT.

When brands and retailers fear the death of the click, we see opportunity. Signal & Light was founded on a simple belief: the future of commerce belongs to those who can navigate complexity with clarity.

Our approach is practical, not theoretical. Strategy grounded in real-world execution. We've worked across retail media platforms, optimised ecomm platforms, and helped brands prepare for shopping experiences that will be supported by AI apps.

Today, we partner with forward-thinking brands across New Zealand, Australia, and globally, helping them cut through the noise and position themselves strongly for the AI-enabled future of commerce.
