Amazon Sponsored Display

Amazon has rolled out the ability for eligible advertisers to add their brand logo and customize the headline in Sponsored Display ads.

The customized Sponsored Display units can run on product description pages, customer reviews, shopping results pages and under the Featured Offer. The ads render responsively to fit inventory units on the web, mobile and in-app.

Sponsored Display ads can target by views, product or interest. However, when a logo and headline are used, only product targeting is available.
