The UK marketing landscape has been undergoing a steady transformation over the last few years, with traditional digital players losing ground to the e-commerce superpower Amazon. Advertisers who invest in this emerging channel benefit from a huge in-market customer base and a growing captive audience within the consideration phase; while many advertisers who do not risk losing touch with a significant slice of their customer base.

- The capabilities of Amazon’s search platform and how these can be utilized to support an advanced search strategy
- How Amazon’s DSP audience targeting functionality can be leveraged most effectively across a variety of ad formats
- The growing potential for multi-channel strategy and the benefits this can bring to businesses on Amazon
