Prime Video Sponsored Tiles

Sponsored Tiles* allows Prime Video Channel and TVOD advertisers to promote their video content on the Prime Video app on Connected TV (e.g. Fire TV and third-party devices), desktop, and mobile devices. The same creative asset is used across device groups (Connected TV, desktop, or mobile) automatically. Customers see sponsored content in the form of a tile that looks native to the current experience. These tiles appear in the first 5 slots of sponsored rows on the Home, Store, and Channels tabs. This ad placement is available to TVOD and Channel advertisers.

Experience overview

On Connected TV and desktop devices, when customers hover over a tile, text and image detail content is revealed on the top half of their TV screens. After one second, the imagery will expand and start autoplaying the title’s trailer with audio enabled (Connected TV) or disabled (desktop). The image is shown again after the trailer concludes. Mobile devices do not support trailer autoplay. Customers can click the tile to view more details about the content and ways to watch it.
