Amazon Releases Sponsored Brand Ads Updates​

In this episode, Mike & Brett dive into the latest updates Amazon released last week (May 2019) for sponsored brand ads. These updates include a brand new match type, a redesign of a current match type, and a feature that you would’ve expected sponsored brands to have before now… While you do have to be brand registered to access sponsored brand ads (SBAs), they cover a huge amount of real estate on Amazon’s SERPs and every brand on Amazon that’s serious about growing its revenue and increasing its exposure should be leveraging them to the fullest. Be sure to join along as we dive in, dissect these changes, and discuss the best practices around the newest additions. We’ll see you in the Badger Den!
