A Sponsored Brand Campaign is a type of pay-per-click (PPC) advertisement on Amazon that promotes a brand and its featured products.

  • Within search results pages, and
  • On product detail pages

Another disadvantage is that you can only create this in manual campaigns. This means that you need to spend more time on careful planning, keyword research, and continuous monitoring.
