Adam Mellott, Sr. Search Strategist and Head of Service Delivery at BTR Media, joins the eCommerce Pros Podcast to demystify the evolving world of Amazon video ads—specifically the differences between Connected TV (CTV), Streaming TV (STV), and Online Video (OLV). With brands navigating more video placements than ever, understanding how these formats work—and when to use each—is crucial for maximizing both reach and return.

In this episode, Adam breaks down what sets STV and OLV apart, from creative style to audience behavior. You’ll learn when to lead with an emotional brand story and when to go hard on features and CTAs. Adam also shares performance best practices, from speech timing and video length to optimizing based on KPIs like DPVR (detail page view rate) and PR (purchase rate).

Whether you're launching a brand, retargeting shoppers, or running full-funnel Amazon campaigns, this episode is packed with actionable guidance to help you leverage the right video format at the right moment.

Max Hoffmann, Co-Founder of BidX, joins the eCommerce Pros Podcast to shed light on one of the most underutilized yet powerful tools in the Amazon ads ecosystem: the Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC). In this episode, Max shares how AMC unlocks insights into the entire customer journey—far beyond last-click attribution—giving brands clarity on what’s actually working across Streaming TV, Sponsored Products, and DSP.

He takes us inside how his team went from bootstrapping Amazon ad automation software in 2018 to supporting global brands with deep data, custom audiences, and precision targeting strategies. You’ll learn when AMC starts making sense (hint: $25K/month in ad spend), how to tap into U-shaped attribution models, and why brands that aren’t using AMC are essentially “leaving money on the table.”

Whether you’re optimizing top-of-funnel video or trying to squeeze more efficiency from your Sponsored Products, this episode gives you a clear look at how Amazon Marketing Cloud can become your secret growth engine.
