What it Takes to Build a Brand on Amazon

Destaney Wishon and Justin Nuckols
About this episode

Recorded live at Cannes Lions, this episode brings together three people who know what they’re doing in the Amazon space - Destaney Wishon (BTR Media), Jeffrey Cohen (Amazon Ads), and Gabi Viljoen (Nestlé Health Science).


What does real brand building on Amazon look like in 2025?

They cover:

  • Why obsessing over your customer matters more than chasing ROAS
  • How AMC is helping brands become more precise
  • The role of entry points, lifetime value, and playbooks that actually evolve
  • Why creative is no longer optional and how AI is making it scalable
  • What modern full funnel strategy really means
