Amazon Ads and Creators HQ name first Amazon Creators Foundry cohort
What happened
Creators HQ and Amazon Ads named 15 UAE-based creators to the first Amazon Creators Foundry, a six-month program to grow their own product brands on Amazon.ae and expand through Amazon Global Selling. Per Entrepreneur Middle East, the support package includes $10,000 in Sponsored Ads cashback, up to $100,000 in Amazon DSP advertising incentives, a UAE Golden Visa nomination and Creators HQ membership. The brands span fragrance, skincare, haircare, fashion, food and card games.
💰 What it means for creators' moneyPlatforms are now paying creators to launch products, not just to post: the package here is ad credit and incentives, not cash fees. If you sell your own product, ad credits and marketplace support can be worth more than a one-off sponsorship. Ask what the credits cost you in exclusivity or commitments.
