  • Why Most Amazon Ads Never Scale Profitably
    May 1 2026

    Most Amazon sellers think low ACOS means success.

    Elizabeth Greene says that’s exactly why many brands get stuck.

    In this episode, John Cavendish sits down with Elizabeth Greene, Co-Founder of Junglr, to break down the real reason Amazon brands plateau, why scaling “profitable” campaigns can quietly destroy growth, and how to actually build an ad strategy that increases both market share and profitability.

    What you’ll learn in this episode

    • Why low ACOS campaigns can hurt long-term growth
    • The hidden difference between scaling ad sales vs total sales
    • Why auto campaigns alone won’t build organic ranking
    • How to structure Amazon PPC campaigns strategically
    • The real role of exact match campaigns for ranking
    • Why many sellers get trapped in the “growth vs profitability” cycle
    • How to lower TACOS without tanking organic rank

    Key Takeaways
    Low CPCs do not automatically equal profitable growth
    Organic ranking still matters in 2026
    Amazon ads should have different strategic purposes
    Market share growth requires intentional ranking campaigns
    The Big Insight

    A profitable ACOS does not always mean a profitable business.

    If your ads only grow ad sales instead of total sales, your brand eventually hits a ceiling.
