Amazon featured this brand in its Rising Stars small-business series, and says the businesses in that series were compensated for taking part. ## The challenge. Binibi is a Latina-owned company started by two mothers who wanted bilingual books for their own children. Parents were already searching for English and Spanish books; the brand had to be the one they found. It also had to keep growing in 2023, while both founders stepped away for maternity leave, so the advertising had to work without constant attention. ## What they did. Sponsored Products · Display ads with video · Brand Store · Sponsored Brands for a launch Started small and testedSelf-service [Sponsored Products](https://advertising.amazon.com/solutions/products/sponsored-products) campaigns with automatic targeting showed what worked. Keyword tuning and negative keywords then doubled the return on ad spend.A/B tested images and copyAmazon’s testing tool compared product images and text, so changes were based on what parents actually clicked and bought.Showed children using the booksA display video of children playing with a sound book became the brand’s highest-returning campaign.Built a home for the brandA [Brand Store](https://advertising.amazon.com/solutions/products/stores) and richer product pages told the founders’ story and showed the whole collection in one place.Launched a collection properlyFor a new collection during Hispanic Heritage Month, the new books were added to product ads, Sponsored Brands were created, and display banners were tested in English against Spanish. ## Why it worked.
