1. Support for Sponsored Brand Ads

Ad Genius currently supports Sponsored Brand Ads placed through Amazon Advertising only. Within Ad Genius, you can:

  • Manually adjust bids for Sponsored Brand campaigns

  • Adjust keywords associated with your Sponsored Brand ads

  • Access suggestions, specifically:

    • Bid adjustment suggestions

    • Archive keyword suggestions

Note: Although Ad Genius provides insights and recommendations for Sponsored Brand campaigns, there are some operational limitations at this time (see Section 4 below).


2. Requirements for Using Sponsored Brand Ads

Before you can locate Sponsored Brand Ads campaigns in Ad Genius:

  • You must complete Amazon’s Brand Registry process.

  • Your products need to be properly associated with your brand.

  • You can only create Sponsored Brand Ads for products where you are the brand owner.


3. How to Locate Sponsored Brand Ads in Ad Genius

  • If you have Sponsored Brand campaigns active in Seller Central, you will see the Sponsored Brand Ads campaigns listed on the Campaign Manager page.

  • Sponsored Brand Ads Reporting within Ad Genius lets you monitor and analyze the basic metrics of your Sponsored Brand campaigns.


4. Differences and Limitations

  • The campaign data layout in Ad Genius for Sponsored Brand Ads is similar to Sponsored Product Ads, but:

    • Some fields are missing because Sponsored Brand Ads use different parameters and metrics.

  • Important Limitation:

    • Currently, Ad Genius cannot push changes (such as bid updates or keyword edits) to Sponsored Brand campaigns via Amazon’s API.

    • This means that while Ad Genius can suggest changes and report on performance, any actual adjustments must be made directly in Seller Central.

    • Once Amazon enables API support for Sponsored Brand changes, Ad Genius will be updated to support these actions.
