Amazon introduces sponsored TV. ads to the U.K., following U.S. success

Amazon launches sponsored TV. ads in the U.K., offering brands new advertising opportunities on streaming platforms like Freevee and Twitch.

Amazon has introduced its sponsored TV. ads in the U.K., marking a new chapter in its digital advertising journey. This initiative is currently in its beta phase, building on the triumph of its U.S. counterpart.

This expansion provides a fresh platform for brands to advertise on popular streaming services like Freevee and Twitch. Amazon leverages its vast data resources to deliver targeted advertisements, making this an appealing prospect for advertisers.

Who can join?

The sponsored TV Ads are available to sellers in the Amazon Brand Registry, vendors, agencies, and even U.S. brands that do not sell on Amazon. However, some categories, such as health and personal care, are excluded from this program.

Amazon’s extensive first-party shopping and streaming data facilitate precise ad targeting. This means advertisers can reach their desired audience more effectively, potentially boosting the success of their campaigns. Brands must review Amazon’s guidelines and acceptance policies before launching their campaigns, as some product categories face restrictions.

A new era in advertising

This move signifies Amazon’s growing influence in digital advertising, positioning itself as a formidable competitor to traditional TV. models.  It’s a significant step in Amazon’s efforts to diversify its advertising portfolio and provide brands with innovative ways to connect with consumers.

The road ahead

The big question is how the U.K. Brands will adapt to this new advertising opportunity and its impact on their overall marketing strategies. The success of this venture could reshape the advertising landscape, making digital platforms an even more critical component of marketing plans.
