Brand Advertising is a new space for Amazon and one that is ripe for disruption. The Brand Advertising team provides tools that lets businesses of all sizes on Amazon to find new customers that may not be aware of their products or services. While our other Ads teams’ products focus on leverage existing market demand for products on Amazon, our team is filling a major gap for Advertisers who are either tapped out of customers who are aware of their product, or have a product that doesn’t really have adequate traffic on Amazon. We are building a turn-key solution this year that will enable Advertisers to figure out what product to build, whether their product concept will resonate with customers and then launch the right product — all on Amazon. It also requires building many new systems (front-end, back-end and analytics) from scratch that will scale to millions of Advertisers and enable discovery of new products to millions of Amazon’s retail customers.
