Gilad started selling on Amazon in early 2015. Without much prior experience, he and his brother started their PL journey and built two brands together. Over time, they opened an agency named AdvantiQs and built a team. They provided full account management services for clients in the US and Israel.
In late 2020, they decided to take the business to the next level and jump into the booming aggregator space. They have since then slowly shifted their focus to acquisitions and rebranded as Enso Brands.
