      Amazon DSP

      GUIDE:

      Overview

      Amazon’s demand-side platform (DSP) enables you to programmatically reach audiences across both Amazon-owned sites and applications as well as leading publishers’ sites through direct, exclusive inventory from Amazon Publisher Services and third-party exchanges. You can also leverage Amazon’s proprietary data and audience segments to reach exclusive audiences for retargeting campaigns.

      Key Benefits

      Reach and Inventory Options

      You will now have access to Amazon’s exclusively owned and operated inventory and wealth of open exchanges. Marketers can achieve and scale their marketing goals by programmatically reaching Amazon shoppers on all Amazon-owned domains, on multiple device types, and with several ad formats. Amazon Data provides unique insights and audience segments to inform each targeting approach and increase relevance to drive campaign performance. Amazon Inventory is exclusive to Amazon, direct from leading publishers, and available through the largest exchanges.


      Data and Targeting Capabilities
      Amazon allows for the addition of five granularities of lookalike audiences for each retargeting segment created: Most Similar, Similar, Balanced, Broad, Most Broad. Amazon’s DSP will allow you to capture and access unique Amazon data and audience insights. Clients can also upload a CRM list at no extra cost and target those users via Amazon's deterministic data.

      Amazon's proprietary data segments include deterministic purchase data that is used to create interest and intent segments; deterministic automotive data that comes from users entering their vehicle identification number (VIN) into Amazon Garage when they order parts or accessories; deterministic data on companies that use Amazon Web Services; and Amazon seller lookalike audiences. You’re able to run ads on amazon.com, IMDb.com, and their applications as well as Amazon Fire TV inventory which is not available anywhere else. Amazon’s other OTT inventory is great for awareness campaigns, especially for travel.
