How does Amazon Marketing Cloud work?

Built on AWS Clean Rooms, AMC unifies rich signals across Amazon properties, advertiser, and onboarded third-party providers, and enables flexible querying over these signals in a privacy-safe environment. Advertisers can then use custom insights and audiences generated via AMC to optimize campaign tactics, guide marketing execution, and inform business decisions.

What signals are available in Amazon Marketing Cloud?

Advertisers can access hundreds of fields about their Amazon Ads campaigns via Amazon Marketing Cloud including ad-attributed impressions, clicks, and conversions. Advertisers can also choose to upload their own pseudonymous inputs into a dedicated Amazon Marketing Cloud clean room environment and join the inputs with Amazon Ads campaign signals for analysis.

How does Amazon Marketing Cloud protect my information?

Amazon Marketing Cloud prioritizes privacy and security by design. AMC only accepts pseudonymized inputs, and all information in your AMC instance is handled in strict accordance with Amazon’s privacy policies. You can only access aggregated and anonymous outputs from AMC. The information you choose to upload stays within your dedicated AMC instance, and cannot be exported or accessed by Amazon.

How is Amazon Marketing Cloud reporting different from Amazon DSP reporting?

While standard reporting provides a wide range of pre-defined metrics, AMC enables deeper analytical flexibility in a privacy-safe clean room environment. Through AMC, advertisers can query event-level and user-level signals across sources using custom metrics and attributes of their choice, with built-in aggregation thresholds ensuring user privacy. This distinction allows AMC to complement standard reporting by enabling sophisticated, customized analyses.

When should I use Amazon Marketing Cloud to build custom audiences?

AMC allows advertisers to expand and customize audience options beyond standard Amazon Ads audiences. Advertisers can use the cross-source and cross-media signals, such as ad engagement signals and their own signals, over a multi-year lookback window to build audiences in AMC. Users have control over how to construct custom queries, supported by Ads Agent in AMC, to generate audiences that best meet their advertising needs and business goals.

We recommend advertisers start by exploring standard Amazon Ads audience options first, then use AMC to build custom audiences that address more sophisticated use cases involving multi-channel advertising, ad engagement considerations, detailed segmentation, or other bespoke use cases.
