Michael and Shane White are back — and this time, they’re taking on the wild world of AI video ads.
You’ve probably heard the hype, but here’s the truth: AI videos are already reshaping how Amazon sellers launch, test, and scale.
They also dig into what most people get wrong about CVR tracking, why data still beats “gut feeling,” and how video might soon be your best-performing ad type (yes, even if you’re camera-shy).
So grab your headphones and your favorite coffee mug — it’s time to talk about launches, AI, and the future of Amazon PPC.
