Prime Video

Prime Video ads offer advertisers an opportunity to reach customers as they browse and discover new content with the Prime Video app on living room devices. The offered ad placements are available to Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) and Prime Video Channels (PVC) advertisers.

In order to make sure customers have the best experience possible on Prime Video, we work with our clients to run ads that are appropriate for all audiences. All Prime Video ad content must conform to Amazon’s Creative Acceptance guidelines. Amazon requires that advertisers review their content with these guidelines in mind before submitting.
