Fire TV Self-Service Advertising allows you to promote your app in the Sponsored row of the Fire TV UI. Ads are placed in an auction format, with eligible ads competing against each other using their specified bid. Your ad could appear in any of the tile slots within the row based on the bidding result.

You set your bid when you create your ad campaign. You can change your bid at any time from the All campaigns page in the Amazon Advertising Console. Bid adjustments are reflected within minutes of a change.

Manage Self-Service Ad Campaigns
