With ver2.0, you can directly upload Sponsored Brands videos from inside ZonTools. Your video ads are uploaded to Amazon through ZonTools by creating a PGN and then adding the video ad.

• After a video ad is uploaded in ZonTools, Amazon has a 72-hour window to approve your video and ensure its requirements are met. During this first 72 hours, your video ad will have a Pending Review status on ZonTools.
• You can only add one video ad per product at a time.
• Your video ads are keyword targeted, cost-per-click, and are linked to your Amazon product page.

Benefits of Sponsored Brands video ads

Your video ads help increase brand awareness as customers view auto-playing videos on their Amazon page.

• They stand out in desktop and mobile shopping results.
• They help customers discover your brand and products as they shop on Amazon.
