Chief Media Buys AMZ Advisers and Reach Social to Boost Amazon, TikTok Shop Reach

Chief Media just made two moves that matter if you're watching where ad dollars are flowing in 2025. The independent agency acquired both AMZ Advisers and Reach Social, plugging itself directly into two of the fastest-growing retail platforms on the planet — Amazon and TikTok Shop. This isn't a vanity play. It's a land grab.
