Sponsored Brands collections: Promote related products and reach more shoppers

Sponsored Brands collections enable you to feature more of your products across high visibility placements on the Amazon store.

What is Sponsored Brands collections?

Sponsored Brands collections is a new Sponsored Brands ad format that lets advertisers feature related products in a single ad unit across high-visibility placements. With AI-powered automatic collections, Amazon dynamically curates the most relevant products for each shopper, while manual control allows advertisers to hand-pick their selection. Collections appear in high-visibility placements in the Amazon store, like on search and product detail pages. The result? Broader product discovery, easier campaign management, and stronger performance at scale.

Why use Sponsored Brands collections?

Designed for advertisers with three or more related products, Sponsored Brands collections helps brands with broad or diverse catalogs expand product discoverability and drive incremental sales.

Key benefits

  1. Expand product discoverability
    Advertisers can feature up to ten related products from their catalog, engaging shoppers in high visibility placements across the Amazon store.
  2. Branded shopping experience
    Collections highlight key product details for quick evaluation and purchase and connect shoppers to a branded experience where they can explore additional related products from your brand.
  3. Scaled campaign creation and optimization
    Automatic collections highlight to shoppers the best combination of products based on keyword targets and shopper queries without the need to manually set up and optimize multiple campaigns.
  4. Boost performance and efficiency
    Collections aim to boost performance by increasing shopper engagement and product discovery, helping drive incremental sales and stronger return on ad spend.

Based on early tests in the U.S., Sponsored Brands collection ads showing a product-centric shopper experience in top-of-search saw improvements over the prior top-of-search ad experience:1

  • 19% increase in clicks
  • 44% increase in conversions

How does collections work?

Sponsored Brands collections help advertisers feature 3–10 related products from their catalog in a single ad experience.

Advertisers can choose between two collection types:

  • Automatic collections: Let Amazon’s AI dynamically group the most relevant products from your catalog into collections based on your keyword targets and shopper search queries.
  • Manual collections: Select the specific related ASINs to feature in your ad. This ad type supports keyword or product targeting and gives you full control over which products to showcase.

Available via the Amazon Ads console and Amazon Ads API, advertisers can set up, manage, and report on campaigns using existing workflows.

Where will my ads appear?

Collection ads appear in high-visibility placements on the Amazon store across desktop and mobile placements which may include:

  • Top-of-search
  • Mid- and bottom-of-search results
  • Other high-visibility Sponsored Brands placements including product detail pages

When used with reserve share of voice, collections can appear consistently in the Sponsored Brands top-of-search placement for your reserved branded keywords.

How to get started with collections

You can create a collections campaign directly in the Amazon Ads console, using the same Sponsored Brands campaign workflow you already know. Get started in five easy steps:

1. Set campaign goal and details

Choose your campaign goal such as “Drive page visits,” “Grow brand impression share,” or “Reserve share of voice,” based on your advertising objectives. Then, add a campaign name, start and end dates, and your desired budget.

2. Choose your collections format

Select “automatic collections” or “manual collections”:

  • Automatic collections: We’ll create the most relevant collection of products from your catalog, based on your keyword targets and shopper queries.
    • We automatically create relevant titles and a branded experience where shoppers can explore more products from your catalog.
    • Your ad title, logo, and brand name link to a branded experience; individual products link to product detail pages.
  • Manual collections: Choose 3–10 related products to feature in your collection.
    • We automatically create relevant titles for your collections to simplify the campaign setup process.
    • Select to drive traffic to a branded experience featuring your products or a Brand Store page. Your ad title, logo, and brand name link to your landing page of choice; individual products link to product detail pages.

3. Enter ad details

  • Enter your ad name, confirm your brand name, and upload or select your brand logo.
  • Enter your product exclusions (optional for automatic collections).

4. Set targeting

Choose between keyword targeting for automatic and manual collections or product targeting for manual collections. Enter your targets and match types. You can also optionally enter bid adjustments based on placement or audiences.

5. Optimize over time

  • With automatic collections we will automatically update the products on your behalf based on shopper context and performance. You can also use product exclusions to exclude certain products related to your targets that you don’t want to advertise.
  • With manual collections, you can update your featured products based on seasonality, stock, or product launches.
  • Test different targets to learn what resonates.
  • Review reporting metrics like click-through rate (CTR) and Order per Search (OPS) to refine creative effectiveness.

Measuring success

You can use standard Sponsored Brands metrics to evaluate your collections campaign performance, including:

  • Impressions: Track how often your collections ad is shown
  • Click-through rate (CTR): Gauge shopper engagement
  • Click-attributed sales: Measure sales generated from ad clicks
  • New-to-brand sales: Understand how many customers are purchasing from your brand for the first time
  • Detail page views per click: Track how much product exploration is happening post-click

Use these insights to refine your targeting strategies over time.
