Tell your brand story across exclusive first-party and premium third-party audio content, including Amazon Music ad-supported tier, Alexa News, Twitch, and Amazon Publisher Direct.
Make noise on a growing channel
Reach audiences on Amazon Music ad-supported tier — the most popular streaming audio service on smart speakers with the most share of time spent listening.1 Our monthly unique audience grew by +95% year over year across our supply.2 That means our supply helps you achieve greater unique reach that ever before.3
Elevate your ad campaigns with the power of Alexa
Engage audiences with brand messaging they find relevant using just their voice, now with interactive audio ads. Listeners can simply reply aloud to Alexa call-to-actions to take actions—such as adding an item to their cart, requesting more info via email as well as a push notification through the companion app, or setting a reminder—without disrupting their streaming audio content.
