“David Jones Amplify will showcase the real power of our media assets across our marketing properties, both in our physical and digital stores. Additionally leveraging first party data to advertise to targeted premium audiences on the open web.
David Jones Amplify will give our current brand partners and other highly curated advertisers access to customers that no other retailer or media outlet can,” said Holloman.
David Jones partnered with Sonder to audit and value all its 30,000 annual media placements across point- of-sale, solus emails, window displays, JONES magazine, pop ups, website and digital screens.
“Our vision is to be the destination that inspires, with experiences and services like no other. We will continue to drive Australia’s premium shopping experience in store and online and so will curate advertising that complements the David Jones brand,” said Holloman.
Our approach will bring customer trust to the retail media landscape and is based on true partnership. We believe Amplify will showcase brands like no other, benefiting brands, advertisers and customers.
Jonathan Hopkins, founding partner of Sonder, said: “Having worked with most of the country’s leading retail media organisations, we can safely say David Jones’s new retail media offering Amplify, is one of the most exciting and significant media launches of the year. We have been very impressed with the foundations put in place to ensure Amplify’s success. The team understand supplier and advertiser needs and have set up their media channels to deliver on those needs”.
The David Jones in-house team will work with brand partners and has partnered with media sales experts Medium Rare Content Agency to support with non-endemic outreach.

Utilising David Jones’ sophisticated customer segmentation data, advertisers are able to actively target specific David Jones customer groups. “David Jones has a very loyal customer base and we know the breakdown of customers by store and by department, meaning brands can actively target specific customer segments either in specific stores or across the whole David Jones network,” said Holloman.
“We know that two thirds of Australia’s most affluent households are David Jones customers and 50 per cent of emerging affluent groups shop across multiple categories at David Jones giving advertisers access to an engaged premium audience to grow their businesses”.
