Leverage the power of artificial intelligence with image generation for Sponsored Brands

Announced at unBoxed 2023

What launched?

We have beta launched image generation for Sponsored Brands campaigns in the U.S. It uses generative models and an advertiser's product information to create unique brand-themed product images in seconds that are relevant to a brand at no additional cost. Advertisers do not need dedicated creative resources, and can quickly create product creatives to see which creatives are most effective at achieving their goals.

Why is it important?

In a March 2023 Amazon survey, we found that of advertisers who were unable to build successful campaigns, nearly 75 percent cited building ad creative and choosing a creative format as their biggest challenge. Early product validation with advertisers has indicated they use image generation to test different creatives with different target audiences, to convey additional production information such as ingredients or use this product, and to remind customers of additional product uses through seasonal images.
