Key Takeaways:

1. When considering Amazon advertising agencies, watch out for red flags like a lack of access to valuable shopper data such as Amazon Garage. True Amazon partners use this data for precise ad targeting.
2. Amazon and Google advertising work hand in hand: Google excels at reaching near-purchase shoppers, while Amazon captures earlier-stage prospects. Together, they fill the funnel for Google.
3. Personalization is key in marketing and web design. Authentic personalization aligns ad content with landing pages, catering to individual shoppers. It's more than changing ad copy; it's about seamless coordination.
