About The Team
Advertising Trust (AT) is at the center of Amazon Ads, one of Amazon's fastest growing businesses. Every ad that flows through our Amazon systems, or is presented on one of our owned and operated sites, needs to adhere to the policies that AT creates. These policies simplify the complex regulatory, legal, regional, cultural and customer expectations in over 30 countries today. All of these ads need to be properly approved or rejected the first time and within SLA. There should be no ambiguity as to why the ad was approved or rejected from the perspective of the Advertiser or Publisher and the ad should be able to reach its optimal audience. If AT is doing a great job, the ecosystem is efficient and we can ensure a great shopper experience.
