In this episode, we dive deep into branded campaigns on Amazon PPC with Mike Danford from Adverio. Many clients run 30–70% of their budget on branded spend, but SQPD works differently — it helps you calculate your real share and spot cannibalization.
We break things into buckets like branded search, product defense, and placements, use dashboards and incrementality scores, and even show tricks like looser targeting to land on competitor pages cheaper.
A quick screenshare later shows how to pull a search term report, clean it up, and optimize spend step by step.
We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
