Groupm Enhances Creator Content Amplification Capabilities Globally With Amazon Ads

GroupM, WPP’s media investment group, announced a global collaboration with Amazon Ads to introduce creator-led shoppable content to the Amazon advertising suite of services available to its clients. The collaboration gives GroupM clients the ability to amplify creator content within the Amazon DSP and in Amazon Sponsored Brand placements.

Developed by The Goat Agency and available exclusively to GroupM clients via Goat, the collaboration enables advertisers to drive commerce outcomes more effectively with audiences on Amazon.com. Key features of these exclusive bespoke formats available to clients include:

• Off-site DSP amplification: The Goat Agency’s proprietary creator ad format now further enhanced by Amazon’s expansive insights—will be enabled across the Amazon DSP in every market where it’s available.
• Sponsored Brands integration: Sponsored Brands, an “above the fold” Amazon.com ad placement, will now feature creator content developed by The Goat Agency, exclusive to clients of GroupM and Goat. Complimenting Amazon DSP off-site amplification, the ad experience continues the journey onsite with the same influencer-led creative driving further engagement and sales for brands. This integration will allow creator content and Amazon sponsored ads capabilities to be paired, connecting content and advertising capabilities in retail media.
• Advanced programmatic creative optimization: Insights from campaigns run with Amazon Ads will be used to cyclically inform The Goat Agency’s custom creative and sharpen audience targeting. Combining Goat’s expertise and Amazon Ads Audience targeting, clients will benefit from improved commercial outcomes by aligning creator content with the audiences most likely to convert by content type across both display and video formats.

We’re excited to continue this collaboration with Amazon to further integrate inspirational content in commerce advertising in ways that deliver value for clients and Amazon’s consumers.”

GroupM is a valued customer of Amazon Ads, and we look forward to collaborating with them on innovative projects like this in the future.”

“Beyond our proprietary style of content, one of Goat’s most significant points of differentiation is the ability to deliver high-rigor performance and guaranteed outcomes to clients through creator marketing,” said Dafydd Woodward, Global Chief Operating Officer, The Goat Agency. “Our collaboration with Amazon Ads is a natural fit that is already delivering performance improvements on client campaigns across multiple markets.”

Nilam Atodaria, Global Product Director at The Goat Agency added: “Teaming up with Amazon Ads creates valuable opportunities for clients looking to activate creator-led campaigns in a performance-centric way.
