Sponsored Advertising

Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display run as one portfolio rather than three separate budgets.

The problem

What actually goes wrong

Sponsored formats are usually bought in isolation, so brand campaigns end up paying to defend terms that Sponsored Products already owns.

Why this matters. The formats compete with each other unless someone is holding the whole map.

What we manage

What SMEMinds does

  • Portfolio structure across all three sponsored formats
  • Defensive versus conquesting budget split, made explicit
  • Creative and headline testing on Sponsored Brands
  • Product and audience targeting on Sponsored Display
  • Incrementality checks before scaling a format
  • Consolidated reporting across formats

Who this is for

Brand-registered sellers running more than one sponsored format.

What each step involves
Business outcomes

What changes.

Stated as changes in how the business runs, because those are the ones we control.

01

No self-competition

Formats stop bidding against each other.

02

Clear incrementality

Spend justified by additional sales, not attributed ones.

03

Stronger brand terms

Defended at a cost that makes sense.

04

One report

All formats in a single view.

Every recommendation shows its arithmetic.

Placement and campaign spend attributed to the SKUs that carried it, after fees and returns.

Questions we get about this service

Only if it adds incremental volume or defends a term you are losing. We test before we scale.

Yes, where the account has the volume and the funnel to justify it. Below that threshold we will say so rather than sell it.
