Sponsored Brands Collections are now live with automatic and manual options

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Amazon has made the Sponsored Brands Collections format live with two options. Automatic mode lets Amazon's AI select products from your catalogue based on keyword targets and shopper queries, generating the ad title and landing page automatically.

What changed

Manual mode gives advertisers control over which products appear. No custom image or headline is required. Ads require a minimum of three ASINs (up to ten), and in Automatic mode, up to 1,000 ASINs can be excluded. Collection type cannot be changed after an ad group is created.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means faster campaign creation in Automatic mode for large catalogues, or maintained control with Manual mode.
