    When Twitch Ads is the better fit

    We would rather tell you now than after a campaign.

    You already buy through Amazon

    If your media plan runs in the Amazon DSP, Twitch video sits in the same buying path as Prime Video and display.

    You need Amazon's audiences

    Amazon offers first-party shopping and streaming audiences and its own measurement, which we do not have.

    You want full-screen video reach

    For an unskippable video spot across large audiences, platform video ads are the format built for it.

    Questions buyers ask

    Can I buy Twitch Ads in Norway?

    Twitch video can be bought programmatically through the Amazon DSP, which launched self-service in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland in 2021. Twitch Creator Sponsorships were launched in 17 countries, and Sweden is the only Nordic one.

    What does Twitch advertising cost?

    Amazon's Twitch page says campaigns need a minimum spend but does not publish the figure. Beta Ads campaigns start from 100,000 NOK, priced per 1,000 played views.

    Can I run both?

    Yes. They do different jobs: platform video ads for reach around the content, a Beta Ads overlay for presence inside the streams your audience is watching.
