A powerful programmatic platform backed by Amazon's purchase data, best kept for brands and advertisers with a substantial budget.
Amazon DSP (Demand-Side Platform) is Amazon's programmatic advertising buying platform. It buys display and video placements in an automated way, across Amazon's properties (site, Prime Video, Twitch) and a broad external network, drawing on Amazon's valuable purchase data.
Amazon DSP is used to run display and video campaigns at scale, notably for the top of the funnel (awareness, consideration) and retargeting based on real purchase behaviors observed on Amazon. It complements Amazon Ads, centered on marketplace search, by extending reach far beyond.
Amazon Ads (Sponsored Products, Brands) targets search intent on the marketplace; Amazon DSP does programmatic display and video buying, on and off Amazon, to reach broader audiences. DSP is aimed more at brands and advertisers with a substantial budget.
Amazon DSP is billed on quote, usually with a substantial entry budget, self-service for some accounts or managed. The model is based on buying programmatic impressions, with no public rate card.
