Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display: What’s the Difference?

A seller-friendly overview of the three main Amazon Ads formats and the situations each format is designed to support.

Key takeaways
  • Sponsored Products focuses on product-level promotion.
  • Sponsored Brands can support brand and multi-product discovery for eligible advertisers.
  • Sponsored Display can support audience and product-detail-page strategies where available.
  • Eligibility and available formats depend on the account, marketplace and advertising programme.

Sponsored Products

Sponsored Products is a product-level ad format widely used for keyword and product targeting. It is commonly used to capture high-intent traffic, build visibility for individual ASINs and test search-term demand.

Sponsored Brands

Sponsored Brands can promote a brand, product collection or eligible video creative. It is useful when the objective extends beyond one SKU and the advertiser wants to present multiple products or stronger brand messaging. Availability depends on eligibility.

Sponsored Display

Sponsored Display can support product-detail-page targeting and audience-based strategies depending on the features available in the account. It is often used differently from search-led Sponsored Products, so performance should be assessed against the campaign objective.

Do you need every ad type?

Not always. Start from the business objective, catalogue depth, creative availability and data. A smaller account may benefit more from disciplined Sponsored Products coverage before adding formats that require additional creative or budget.
