Description
Amazon Ads offers a rich array of advertising solutions that help advertisers reach Amazon customers across a variety of high quality marketing channels -- whether that's Amazon.com, Prime Video, IMDb, Fire TV, Fire Tablet, Twitch, Alexa, Thursday Night Football, NBA, Streaming TV, Amazon DSP, etc. We start with the customer and work backwards in everything we do, including advertising. If you’re interested in joining a unique, world-class advertising group with a relentless focus on the customer, you’ve come to the right place.
