The Social Advertising team owns Amazon's automated advertising on Social Media networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. Our mission is to understand our customers in these social settings to create engaging and relevant ads that delight customers by helping them find the products and Amazon services they want (even when they didn't already know they wanted them). We are responsible for identifying, experimenting with, and scaling social media advertising opportunities that generate immediate and long-term value for Amazon. We are focused on building automated advertising programs, currently live in 12 countries that drive efficiency at scale with WW parity.
