UAE – Mubasher: Amazon.ae has achieved a significant rise in its Ad Awareness across the UAE in May.

The rise comes along with  Amazon and Souq announcement of launching Amazon.ae at the beginning of May, according to Amazon.ae’s statement on Monday.

Earlier in 2017, Amazon acquired the online marketplace Souq, rebranding it as Amazon, and now the e-Commerce giant is growing the Amazon name in the Middle East with the rebrand “Souq is now Amazon”.

The company noted that the current digital adverts focus on informing consumers of the new website “Your SOUQ is now Amazon.ae”, in addition to highlighting the brand’s offerings such as wide selections and guarantees.
