Sponsored Brand Video Ads on Amazon

Steven Pope - Amazon Expert

LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT: Sponsored Brands video (US)

Shoppers will find relevant, keyword-targeted, auto-playing video ads in a below-the-fold slot in the search results on Android mShop, iOS mShop, mWeb, Tablet, and Desktop in the US. Advertisers can launch SB+V campaigns and optimize their CPC bids, modify targeted keywords, and access performance reports. Shoppers will benefit from being able to watch relevant videos right in the Amazon search experience to understand the benefits and features of products as they shop on Amazon.

Here at My Amazon Guy we have seen Video costs be really high. Only big ad spenders will likely find benefit to creating high funnel awareness. ACOS will be extreme.
