Amazon expands Sponsored TV ads to UK, mirroring U.S. success

Sponsored TV ads offer brands a new way to reach streaming audiences, leveraging the ecommerce giant’s vast data for targeted advertising

Amazon is rolling out its Sponsored TV ads in the UK, currently in beta, following a successful launch in the U.S. market.

Why we care. This move opens new advertising opportunities for brands on popular streaming platforms like Freevee and Twitch, leveraging Amazon’s extensive data for targeted ad delivery.

The details.

• Available to sellers in the Amazon Brand Registry, vendors, agencies and U.S. brands not selling on Amazon.
• Some categories, like health and personal care, are ineligible.

Between the lines. Amazon’s first-party shopping and streaming data allows for precise targeting, potentially increasing ad effectiveness.

Exceptions. Brands must review Amazon’s guidelines and acceptance policies before launching campaigns, as certain product categories are restricted.
