Amazon Ads agency

Amazon advertising that works as one system, not five separate campaigns.

Brandkyte runs Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, Amazon Marketing Cloud and Amazon DSP together.

Capture high-intent demand

 What we usually find when we open an ad account 

Most accounts we audit have an efficient core and expensive gaps around it. Ad types run on autopilot, the best placements are underfunded, and DSP lives in a separate silo from search.

1 in 4

search dollars buy zero sales

Broad, loosely matched Sponsored Brands and long-tail Sponsored Products terms keep spending because nobody adds negatives or harvests the winners.

5x

conversion gap ignored by flat bids

Top of Search often converts several times better than product pages, and evening conversion can fall by two-thirds. Bids rarely follow either.

0

shared audiences between search and DSP

Sponsored Display is off, AMC audiences go unused, and DSP reports to a different team. Shoppers who clicked and left are never brought back.

Patterns drawn from recent Brandkyte account audits in home care, health and consumer goods. Every account is different, so your audit will show your own numbers.

Each ad product has a job at each stage

Full-funnel doesn't mean spending on everything. It means knowing which product moves shoppers forward at each stage, and connecting the data so each stage makes the next one cheaper.

The five ad products we manage, and how we manage each one

One named strategist owns your account across all five. Below is what that strategist does inside each product, and the numbers we hold ourselves to.

Conversion engine

Sponsored Products

Product ads in search results and on product pages. They usually carry most of an account's sales, and most of its quiet waste.

  • Weekly search-term review: negate terms that click but never sell, and harvest proven terms into exact match
  • Hourly and placement-level bidding that follows real conversion, not a flat bid all day
  • Budgets moved out of campaigns that bleed and into the ones capped by their own daily limits
  • A capped discovery layer to find new search terms without relying on auto campaigns
  • ACOS and ROAS
  • Top of Search share
  • Conversion rate
  • Wasted spend

Brand building

Sponsored Brands

Headline banners, video and Store spotlight ads at the top of search. They introduce your range to shoppers who haven't picked a brand yet.

  • Branded targeting built around terms that already sell, with a tight bid on matches
  • Video creative tested against headline and product-image variants
  • Store landing pages built for the campaign, not just the brand homepage
  • New-to-brand measurement, so reach is judged on customers gained
  • New-to-brand rate
  • Branded search share
  • Video views
  • ACOS

Retargeting and audiences

Sponsored Display

Audience-led ads on and off Amazon. They win back shoppers who looked but didn't buy, and defend your own product pages.

  • Viewed-but-didn't-buy audiences set up and refreshed by purchase window
  • Defensive targeting on your own product pages, plus selective placement on competitor listings
  • AMC audiences layered in to reach in-market shoppers and past purchasers
  • Creative and headline tests on custom image placements
  • ROAS
  • Detail page views
  • Repeat purchase rate
  • Reach

The insight layer

Amazon Marketing Cloud

A privacy-safe clean room that joins your ad data across every product, so you can see what actually drives sales.

  • Path-to-purchase and overlap analysis across Sponsored Ads, Display and DSP
  • Custom audiences built from category engagement and sent back into campaigns
  • New-to-brand and repeat-buyer analysis across the whole account
  • Incremental reach reports that show what each channel adds
  • Path to purchase
  • Audience overlap
  • New-to-brand mix
  • Incremental reach

Beyond the search page

Amazon DSP

Programmatic display and video built on Amazon's first-party shopping signals, on Amazon and across the wider web.

  • Access to DSP through our partner seat, with no need to hold your own seat or budget
  • Retargeting of product-page viewers, lookalikes and in-market audiences
  • Streaming TV and lifestyle audiences once lower-funnel returns are proven
  • DSP and Sponsored Ads read together in one view with AMC
  • ROAS
  • Reach
  • New-to-brand
  • Cost per reach

Why search and DSP work better together

Search ads wait for demand. DSP goes out and creates it. Run them together and each one makes the other cheaper, because it's one shopper moving through one loop.

1

DSP reaches shoppers search can't

In-market and lookalike audiences on Amazon, across the web and on streaming TV.

2

Shoppers engage

They visit your product pages and your Store, and add to cart or save for later.

3

More people search for your brand by name

Branded searches are the cheapest, highest-converting clicks you'll ever buy.

4

Sponsored Products and Brands convert them

The sale lands, and a new-to-brand customer joins your base with a lifetime value you can measure.

5

Retarget non-buyers

Bring interested shoppers back into the loop and create more momentum with every turn.

AMC and DSP together, for real new-customer growth

Many "new customer" campaigns quietly retarget people who bought from you two years ago. AMC's longer memory fixes that, so acquisition budget goes to shoppers who are actually new.

Step 1

Find the best new-to-brand segments

AMC shows which audiences, products and paths bring in first-time buyers who come back. Those insights become DSP acquisition campaigns.

Step 2

Exclude everyone who already bought

We build exclusion audiences from up to five years of purchase history and apply them to every acquisition line.

Step 3

Spend only on likely first-time buyers

Budget concentrates on shoppers who resemble your best customers but have never bought from you.

How we bring a brand onto DSP

You don't commit to the whole funnel on day one. We start where returns are most reliable, prove it with your data, then expand. Each stage is a decision point, not an obligation.

What full-funnel looks like in practice

Our clients range from emerging brands to established household names, across Seller Central and Vendor Central.

Health and personal care brand

Doubled revenue without raising the ad share of sales

A topical pain-relief brand in a crowded category was relying on search ads alone. We restructured Sponsored Products, added DSP retargeting and acquisition, and used AMC to keep acquisition budget away from existing buyers.

Questions brands ask us

Answer common customer questions with helpful details.
No. We run DSP through our partner's seat, so you get the platform without opening your own seat or meeting a large self-service minimum. Ad spend is invoiced upfront, shortly before campaigns go live. It's your media budget, not an extra fee.
Both, including hybrid brands. Ad strategy accounts for how each model handles pricing, inventory and promotions, so ads don't push traffic to products that can't convert.
Search-ad quick fixes usually show up within two weeks. DSP lower- and mid-funnel campaigns take about 4–6 weeks to stabilize, and upper-funnel campaigns take longer.
One report covers Sponsored Ads, Display and DSP together, with TACoS by channel. You also get a weekly change log, a weekly growth memo and a monthly cross-channel review.
Yes. When you're ready, the same plan can extend to Walmart Connect, Google, Meta, TikTok and your DTC store, so your spend works across channels instead of competing with itself.
