Amazon Ads
Abil Dashboard

2022

In a rapidly evolving landscape of online advertising, businesses strive to harness the power of services like Amazon Ads to grow their brand and drive sales by finding, attracting and engaging customers on multiple platforms.

Recognizing the need for streamlined processes and enhanced efficiency, we embarked on a mission to operationalize the way Amazon Ads manages and executes advertising requests by creating a bespoke speculative tool called ABIL (Amazon Brand Innovation Lab) Dashboard designed to streamline ticketing and project management.

The Challenge

The workflow is inconsistent and inefficient.

A cumbersome and manual ticket request intake process via email is overly time consuming and leads to inconsistent brand compliance. Moreover, the absence of creative brief guidelines leaves advertisers confused and adrift, resulting in unstandardized information being received.  

The Solution

Automate every step of the workflow, from request intake to project delivery.

Create an end-to-end solution that not only operationalizes the influx and management of requests but also transforms how stakeholders engage with the creative process. Catalyze collaboration and creativity with streamlined communication channels and clear creative brief guidelines.
