NuvoRetail Named Full-Funnel Advertising Winner – India at the 2026 Amazon Ads Partner Awards

NuvoRetail has been named the Full Funnel Advertising Winner – India at the 2026 Amazon Ads Partner Awards – a recognition that celebrates the very best full funnel advertising strategies built on Amazon Ads across the Indian market. For our team, this award is more than a badge on a website. It is validation of a belief we have held since day one: that full-funnel advertising, done correctly, is one of the most effective ways to grow a brand sustainably on Amazon.

In this article, we break down what full funnel advertising actually means, why it matters more than ever for brands selling on Amazon, and exactly how NuvoRetail’s full funnel advertising strategy delivered the results that earned this recognition.

What Is Full-Funnel Advertising on Amazon?

Full funnel advertising is a marketing approach that connects every stage of the customer journey – awareness, consideration, conversion, and loyalty – into a single, unified strategy, rather than treating each stage as a separate campaign. On Amazon specifically, full funnel advertising combines upper-funnel formats (like Amazon DSP display and video), mid-funnel formats (like Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display), and lower-funnel formats (like Sponsored Products), all guided by audience insights from tools like Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC).

The goal of full funnel advertising is simple to state but difficult to execute make sure every stage of the journey feeds directly into the next one, so that awareness leads to consideration, consideration leads to conversion, and conversion leads to repeat purchases and long-term loyalty.About the Amazon Ads Partner Awards

The Amazon Ads Partner Awards is Amazon Ads’ premier recognition program, celebrating advertising agencies and technology partners who demonstrate excellence in driving advertiser success on Amazon. Categories span global themes such as full funnel advertising, programmatic optimization, strategic localization, and brand storytelling, alongside country-level recognition introduced for select markets including India.

Winning in a category like full-funnel advertising means a partner has demonstrated measurable, verified results across multiple stages of the customer journey – not just a single metric in isolation. It is a recognition reserved for full funnel advertising strategies that hold up under scrutiny, backed by verified data rather than self-reported claims.

NuvoRetail Recognized as India’s Full-Funnel Advertising Winner

NuvoRetail has been named the Full-Funnel Advertising Winner – India, a country-level recognition celebrating outstanding full-funnel advertising performance specifically within the Indian market. This recognition sits alongside, and is separate from, the broader regional and global stages of the Amazon Ads Partner Awards, where NuvoRetail has also been named a Full Funnel Advertising Finalist at the global/regional level. As a finalist, NuvoRetail will be participating in Amazon Ads unBoxed in San Francisco, California, where global and regional winners will be announced on the 28th sepetember 2026.

The brand behind this award-winning full-funnel advertising campaign is a global manufacturer expanding its presence on Amazon in India. Like many brands entering or scaling on the platform, the challenge was not a lack of budget or ambition – it was fragmentation. Awareness campaigns ran in isolation from conversion campaigns. Conversion campaigns ran in isolation from retention efforts. Each stage of the funnel was optimized on its own terms, with little visibility into how one stage affected the next.

This is one of the most common reasons full funnel advertising efforts fail to deliver their full potential: brands invest in every stage of the funnel, but rarely design those stages to work together. NuvoRetail’s mandate was to fix exactly that – to design a full funnel advertising strategy where every stage was built with the next one already in mind.

How NuvoRetail Built a Full-Funnel Advertising Strategy That Delivered Results

Expanding Awareness Through Full-Funnel Advertising

The first stage of any full funnel advertising strategy is awareness – and it needs to reach the right audience, not just the largest one. NuvoRetail used Amazon DSP to expand reach across Amazon owned-and-operated placements and select open-internet inventory, targeting audiences defined by real shopping signals rather than broad demographic assumptions.

This full funnel advertising approach to awareness ensured that scale never came at the cost of relevance – every impression was purchased with the next stage of the funnel already in mind.Deepening Consideration With Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC)

A full-funnel advertising strategy is only as strong as its ability to convert awareness into genuine consideration. NuvoRetail used Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) to analyze how audiences engaged after their first exposure to the brand, identifying which segments were moving toward a purchase decision and which needed a different message entirely.

This data-driven layer is what separates a true full funnel advertising strategy from a simple awareness-plus-conversion campaign – it uses insight, not assumption, to bridge the gap between the two.

Driving Conversion With a Full-Funnel Advertising Approach

With awareness and consideration data flowing into a single view, NuvoRetail’s fullfunnel advertising strategy shifted toward conversion – using Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands to convert warmed-up audiences at the moment of purchase intent, rather than starting from a cold audience.

Because this stage of the full funnel advertising strategy was informed by everything that came before it, conversion efficiency improved dramatically, with cost efficiency moving well ahead of the campaign’s original targets.

Turning Conversion Into Long-Term Loyalty

Most advertising strategies stop measuring success at the point of purchase. A genuine full funnel advertising strategy does not. NuvoRetail extended the campaign’s full funnel advertising framework beyond the first sale, using AMC-informed retargeting to encourage repeat purchases and build long-term brand loyalty among first-time customers.

This is, in many ways, the most important stage of full funnel advertising – because it is the stage most brands overlook entirely.

The Results: Full-Funnel Advertising Performance Metrics

The results of this fullfunnel advertising campaign speak for themselves:

• Reach grew by a significant percentage, reflecting the scale achieved at the awareness stage of the full funnel advertising strategy
• Detail page views increased by a strong percentage, reflecting a meaningful deepening of consideration
• Ad-attributed sales rose by a substantial percentage, with total sales also growing at a strong rate overall
• Repeat purchase units increased by a significant percentage, reflecting genuine loyalty built through this full funnel advertising approach
• Return on ad spend (ROAS) improved meaningfully, with advertising cost of sale (ACOS) also improving by a healthy percentage
• Several products secured Amazon Best Seller rank, including one product reaching a top position within its category
• Audiences built using Amazon Marketing Cloud delivered a meaningfully lower ACOS compared to broader, non-AMC-informed targeting

These results illustrate exactly why full funnel advertising, when executed correctly, consistently outperforms campaigns that treat each stage of the funnel in isolation.

Why Full-Funnel Advertising Outperforms Siloed Campaigns

Traditional advertising campaigns tend to optimize a single metric at a time – reach for an awareness campaign, ROAS for a conversion campaign – without accounting for how these stages interact. Full funnel advertising rejects that model entirely. Instead, every stage is designed with the next one in mind, so that the entire customer journey compounds rather than resets at each stage.

This is precisely why NuvoRetail’s fullfunnel advertising strategy delivered such a wide spread of percentage gains across the funnel from a substantial increase in reach to an equally strong increase in repeat purchases. No single stage of a full funnel advertising campaign exists in isolation; each is designed to make the next stage more efficient.

For brands evaluating their own approach to full-funnel advertising, the lesson is straightforward: a full-funnel advertising strategy is not simply the sum of an awareness campaign, a consideration campaign, and a conversion campaign run side by side. It is a single strategy, measured as a single system, where the success of full-funnel advertising is judged by how well each stage strengthens the one after it.

It reflects not just the results we delivered, but the way we think about strategy – as one connected full funnel advertising journey, not a series of disconnected campaigns. We are incredibly grateful to Amazon Ads for this recognition, and to our client for trusting us with this work.” – Vishal Sharma, Founder, NuvoRetail
