Hector Self-serve Amazon DSP Platform: Smarter Full-Funnel Ads

Why DSP Matters

Most brands stop at bottom-funnel Sponsored Products, missing out on brand-building and prospecting. With DSP, you can:

  • Reach new customers at the top of the funnel
  • Nurture prospects who are still evaluating
  • Re-engage shoppers who showed interest

The Hector Advantage

Start DSP campaigns without barriers:

  • Launch with as little as $100
  • No minimum spends or upfront fees
  • Save campaigns as drafts or copy them for faster setup
  • Run ads both on Amazon and third-party sites and apps

Targeting Options

  • Use AMC audiences automatically synced into DSP
  • Tap into Amazon’s native targeting by demographics, devices, in-market audiences, and behaviors

Placement Control

Choose Amazon placements or extend to off-Amazon sites for broader reach. Control geography, placements, and audience segments with complete transparency.

Unique with Hector: DSP Dayparting

Schedule your campaigns by hour of the day and day of the week. Deliver ads when your audience is most active for higher efficiency.
