The Starting Point

Protect the Sale Before Buying More Traffic.

The portfolio covered more than 450 active ASINs across two automotive and offroad brands on Amazon US. Amplify took over in December 2025. Buy Box loss was worsening, listings underplayed fitment, and the second brand had effectively no advertising program.

The Work

One Plan. Connected Execution.

01

Recover ownership

Brand Registry enforcement began in the second month and continued through ongoing monitoring. Buy Box recovery became a standing operational responsibility.

02

Rebuild the catalog

More than 110 listings received new copy and imagery. The work brought fitment into the buying decision and included title rewrites ahead of the stated compliance deadline.

03

Rebuild advertising

Campaign architecture was rebuilt and Amazon Marketing Cloud audiences were added. Advertising, catalog changes and account operations were managed together.

The Takeaway

Ownership Comes Before Scale.

Brand Protection, product-page quality and advertising support one another. This transition used the handover to rebuild the operating standard, rather than carry forward the inherited account structure.

Measurement Notes

Reporting covers December 2025 through July 2026. Portfolio revenue comparisons use the second half of that engagement versus the first; they are not year-over-year figures. The engagement summary reports $2.0M in revenue managed during the period, not $2.0M in incremental revenue. Listing counts, catalog shares and session-weighted ownership are separate measures; no recovery count has been inferred by subtracting the percentages.
