4 new ways AWS customers are using Amazon Bedrock to transform advertising and marketing

AWS customers reveal generative AI-powered technologies at Cannes Lions, debut data privacy advancements

The advertising and marketing industry is no stranger to rapid transformation. At the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity June 17—21, thousands of advertising, marketing, and media and entertainment professionals from around the world come together to celebrate innovative work and discuss how new technologies including generative AI help them better reach and connect with new audiences.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) holds a unique position to help advertisers and marketers create better campaigns more quickly and responsibly, deliver hyper-personalized customer experiences, and transform organizational productivity for improved return on investment with the most performant and scalable, lowest cost generative AI services, instances, and chips for advertising and marketing use cases. These topics were unpacked at A’Maison: The House of Amazon at Amazon Port where Amazon Ad’s Jay Richman, Formula 1’s Matt Kemp, and Founder and CEO of CreativeX, Anastasia Leng joined Samira Bakhtiar, general manager of Media & Entertainment, Games and Sports at AWS for a panel to discuss how Amazon Bedrock, a fully managed AWS service for building and scaling generative AI applications with foundation models, is used to reinvent advertising and audience engagement.

During this year’s Cannes Lions Festival, four AWS customers debuted new generative AI advertising and marketing technology developments backed by Amazon Bedrock. These advancements include:

  • GrowthLoop built an advanced Computed Attributes feature using Amazon Bedrock and activated it with GrowthLoop’s composable customer data platform, allowing marketers to execute highly personalized, data-driven marketing campaigns in a fraction of the time with significantly less overhead.
