Templated Amazon video ads

Templated Amazon Video Ads allow advertisers to showcase a 15-second (or less) video on Fire tablet wake screens with assets that are much simpler than what a standard Amazon video ad requires.

Experience overview

When a customer turns on their Fire device, an inline video begins playing automatically with no sound. Tapping on the unmute icon will unmute the video.

When the video completes, the customer may tap on the video to watch it again. The call-to-action (CTA) button may link to an Amazon shopping page (products, movies, apps etc.) or a full-screen interactive experience (Custom Landing Page or tablet-optimized external URL).

Creative components

Auto-generated theme colour

The template uses an algorithm that automatically generates the theme colour from a creative’s logo image. The theme colour is used on both the background image and the button:

Video content

  • Ads containing trailers for content rated as appropriate for young teens (12–15) or older teens (15+) will be filtered from devices with active parental controls, even if the trailer itself is appropriate for all audiences.
  • Trailers for content rated as appropriate for older teens (15+) are not allowed on this placement.
  • Videos must include audio.
  • Videos must not include call-to-action buttons.
  • Avoid displaying important content (such as logos or fine print) in the bottom-left and top-right corners of the video. During production, a mute/unmute button and countdown timer are added to the video player; these are fixed and cannot be altered. Use the Photoshop template to check if the important content is overlapping with the mute/unmute button or the countdown timer.
  • Please note that we cannot edit or alter your video content; advertisers should provide finalized video assets. All video files must include audio.
