S06 EP18: Amazon DSP: Using Amazon's 1st-Party Audience Data for Media Buying

2X eCommerce Podcast

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Kimberly Maggard, Programmatic Advertiser at factor-a, a pioneer in Amazon vendor management with the combination of technology and agency performance working with over 100 international top brands.

With the upcoming changes in the media buying landscape, many brands are adapting their strategies and considering alternatives. One such alternative is Amazon Demand Side Platform (DSP). It is practically unscathed by the upcoming changes as almost all of its data is first party.

We’ve all shopped on Amazon, some more than others. This has made it a trusted choice for people the world over. Just to put things in perspective, upto 60% of product searches in the UK BEGIN on Amazon. That’s a lot of data with a fair amount of segmentation built in. But should DTC brands jump on the bandwagon?

In this episode, Kunle and Kimberly talk about all things Amazon DSP. You will get to hear about how the platform is structured, how the segmentation works, the media buying process and how DTC brands can get in on it . This is a great episode for marketers and business owners alike!
