Ads API & Marketing Stream
Amazon Ads API Consultant
I help brands and agencies get past Ads API approval, stream hourly campaign data with Marketing Stream, and turn it into dashboards and automations their PPC team actually uses.

Sound familiar?
- Your Ads API application has been pending or rejected for weeks
- You're paying for a PPC SaaS but still can't get the hourly data you want
- Campaign reports are pulled by hand into spreadsheets every Monday
- You want AMC insights but nobody on the team writes AMC SQL
- Dayparting decisions are made on gut feel because the data lags a day
If two or more of these hit home, a 30-minute call will probably save you weeks. It's free, and you'll leave with a plan either way.
What I build
Delivered as working software, not a slide deck.
Ads API access & token setup
LWA app, approval, refresh tokens, and profile discovery — the full path from zero to your first successful reports call.
Marketing Stream pipelines
Hourly campaign metrics streamed through Firehose into S3, BigQuery, or Snowflake — the foundation for real dayparting.
Custom PPC dashboards
Hourly performance views, dayparting heatmaps, and budget pacing alerts built on your own data, not a SaaS export.
AMC queries & audiences
Amazon Marketing Cloud SQL for path-to-purchase analysis, overlap studies, and custom audience creation.

Automation
Hourly dayparting control room for a multi-client PPC manager
Built a custom tool for hourly ad-ops across multiple clients (budgets, rules, guardrails, logs) — a one-time build that replaced expensive third-party tooling and turned “hourly babysitting” into structured strategy + monitoring.
Rule-based hourly ops instead of manual checks
Data pipelines
Vendor reporting: AMS + RRA pipelines (Alclear, Germany)
Delivered two production pipelines: Amazon Marketing Stream (AMS) in AWS for near real-time advertising signals, plus vendor retail reporting (RRA) pulls via SP-API to BigQuery — unified in Looker Studio for the PPC team.
One dashboard combining ads + retail signals
Ops
Pipeline monitoring + guardrails (alerts, retries, sanity checks)
Added operational polish: automated health checks, anomaly alerts, and safe retries so data jobs don’t silently fail and teams trust the dashboard again.
Less silent failure, more trust in data

FAQ
Common questions
What does Ads API consulting cost?
One-off unblocking (access, auth, a broken report) starts around $1,300. Marketing Stream pipelines with dashboards typically run $3,300–$9,900 depending on scope. Fixed quote before we start.
Do I need Marketing Stream or is the Ads API enough?
If daily data is fine, the reporting endpoints are enough. If you want hourly metrics for dayparting or intraday budget control, you need Marketing Stream. I'll tell you honestly which fits your case — the answer is sometimes 'you don't need me yet'.
Can you automate bidding?
Yes — hourly bid adjustments driven by Marketing Stream data, with guardrails (min/max bids, change caps, and full audit logs) so the automation can never run away from you.
Do you work with agencies managing multiple accounts?
Yes. Multi-account pipelines and consolidated dashboards are a specialty — one control room across every client profile, refreshed hourly.
