About

Top-tier CTV advertising platform with unmatched first-party retail data integration, competing directly with Netflix Ads, Hulu, and Roku for premium video ad budgets

Prime Video is a global streaming entertainment destination giving subscribers access to movies, television series, Amazon Originals, and live sports in a single app. Video advertising was introduced into the platform in 2024, making ads a core part of the Prime Video experience for most customers. Amazon's dominance in eCommerce provides Prime Video advertisers with unparalleled first-party data across verticals such as food, CPG, fashion, and home and garden — data that extends to Whole Foods shopping behavior — enabling attribution across metrics including branded searches, cart additions, and purchases. Advertisers can reach streaming audiences across desktop, mobile, and connected TV, with ad tech tools including Dynamic TV Creative, which automatically tailors messaging based on a viewer's prior brand exposure, and interactive video ads that allow viewers to add items to their cart, request more information, or sign up for a service. Prime Video ads are available to eligible brands, sellers, vendors, and agencies — including businesses that do not sell on Amazon — through both managed-service and self-service packages. A legal action brought by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission alleges that Amazon Australia breached consumer law by making negative changes to Prime subscription contract terms when advertising was introduced.
