* For lead times not specified, please call an Account Executive for further details and planning.
** Total lead time = Total lead time = # of business days from receipt of approved customer assets, until campaign is set live/ready to launch. This lead time assumes a maximum of 1 revision and up to 1 day for advertiser review and feedback on initial mocks and up to 1 day for advertiser review and feedback on revisions.
NOTE: *Additional time may be required for campaigns with multiple revisions, creatives, ad versions, or platform types. Published times subject to change during peak times
If advertising content is late or does not comply with Amazon’s advertising policies, Amazon may extend the campaign by the number of days the advertising content was late, and/or revise the flight dates pending placement and available inventory. If Amazon has not received creative assets that meet Amazon’s advertising policies within 3 days of campaign launch, Amazon may release inventory for all affected placements.
*** If an audio ad mentions Alexa in the creative, 3 extra days should be added to its SLA.
**** For 3rd party (advertiser and/or agency) provided creatives, the total lead time is two business days from receipt of approved 3rd party tags.
***** Additional time may be required for creatives with any revision requests.
