Unicorns Podcast: Inside Blend AI, the startup supercharging e-commerce growth

The Unicorns Podcast connects you to some of the best and brightest founders, CEOs, executives, business owners, innovators, entrepreneurs and inspiring leaders who make things happen and inspire others.

Host Justin Kelly – former broadcast journalist and PR veteran – chats with leaders from across Australia and internationally on business strategy, what it takes to build a successful company, how to overcome challenges and advice for those on a similar journey.

In this episode of The Unicorns Podcast, Justin sits down with Dean Krowitz, co-founder of Blend AI, a company that is pioneering change in online advertising for ecommerce merchants.

Founded in 2020 by Michael Bezman and Dean Krowitz, Blend AI is an artificial intelligence platform tailored for ecommerce businesses. It simplifies the launch and optimisation of high-performing online ad campaigns across Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, and Microsoft, eliminating the waste, complexity and high management costs typically associated with digital advertising.

The platform automates the entire advertising process – from campaign creation and targeting to real-time optimisation – while delivering enterprise-level data insights traditionally reserved for top-tier agencies. With over 250+ clients across 21 countries, including a growing US portfolio, Blend AI has helped brands sell everything from pet products to babywear to furniture.

In this episode, Dean explains how Blend AI got started, what it’s really like building a global startup from Australia, and how Blend is helping brands like Lalabu and Jones & Co slash costs and boost sales. If you’re an ecommerce founder, marketer or just curious about the future of AI in advertising, this is an episode not to miss.

This podcast was developed in collaboration with Blend AI, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing.
