Your advertising strategy should be multifunctional. That’s why we suggest adding Sponsored Brands to complement your existing Sponsored Products campaign. Combining them lets you use different image- or video-based creative formats that help your brand stand out, get noticed, and reveal your wider product selection, while continuing to promote individual product listings. Follow these five steps to set up your first Sponsored Brands campaign:
