Awin Expands Discovery Intelligence with AI Visibility
Awin announced on 1 July 2026 a set of platform enhancements and a new partnership to measure and improve brand visibility inside AI-driven discovery experiences. The global marketing-technology company revealed a collaboration with ScalePost and additional collaborations with Peec.ai and Profound to capture first-party AI citation data and link those signals to conversion metrics.
