Amazon Marketing Stream is a push-based messaging system that delivers hourly Amazon Ads campaign metrics and information on campaign changes in near real-time through the Amazon Ads API. It is currently available for agencies, tech providers, and direct advertisers who are integrated with the Amazon Ads API.
Key use cases include:
Using Amazon Marketing Stream can help impact your return on ad spend (ROAS). Partner-managed advertisers who used Amazon Marketing Stream for their sponsored ads campaigns saw an average 5% increase in ROAS over the next six months, compared to those who did not use it.1
There are currently two pathways to getting started with Amazon Marketing Stream—self-service or through an Amazon Ads partner.
For self-service: Visit our Amazon Marketing Stream onboarding guide. The guide will walk you through the process of getting API access and integrating with AWS. It will also provide implementations to help streamline your onboarding time, along with instructions for how to subscribe to campaign data sets using Amazon Marketing Stream.
For partners: Visit the Amazon Ads partner directory to find a partner who can help you onboard on your behalf.
Amazon Marketing Stream can currently be used to obtain hourly changes to performance metrics (traffic and conversion) for all of sponsored ads (Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display) and Amazon DSP. These insights can help inform campaign optimizations, such as automating hourly bids through the Amazon Ads API. You can also monitor campaign health, audit changes, notify clients, and track performance in real time to seize opportunities to run higher-impact ad campaigns for both Amazon DSP and sponsored ads.
Amazon Marketing Stream can also be combined with other reporting tools, like rapid retail analytics, to understand campaign and retail sales performance, helping you build a picture of your organic vs. ad-attributed sales and demonstrate the value of advertising.
Case Study
Xmars, an advanced AI platform that helps brands maximize their ROAS, developed Smart Creation, an ad campaign creation wizard, which integrates Amazon Marketing Stream and the Amazon Ads API to offer personalized recommendations for campaigns. Smart Creation uses AI to streamline and automate processes by considering elements like budget, optimal campaign structure, advertising cost of sales (ACOS) goals, and keyword identification. Smart Creation helped lift ad-attributable sales by 408% for Sunnydaze Decor, an importer and advertiser of home and garden products for Net Health Shops.
