Building Amazon Into a Growth Engine
Amazon is often the most powerful commerce channel a brand operates. Our role is to ensure it performs like one.
Market Defense combines strategic leadership, operational expertise, and AI-powered tools to build Amazon businesses that scale while protecting brand equity and margin.
We help brands succeed through:
- AI-powered listing and creative optimization
- Brand protection systems that identify IP infringement and unauthorized sellers
- Optimization for emerging discovery tools like Amazon Rufus
- End-to-end fulfillment expertise supporting operational scale
- Financial planning and analysis focused on maintaining a healthy Amazon P&L
The result is a marketplace business that grows efficiently and sustainably.
Access a Full Team of Specialists
Scaling a marketplace business requires expertise across multiple disciplines. Our model gives brands access to a full team of specialists without the cost and complexity of building that capability internally.
Each client works with a dedicated Growth Manager who coordinates a team across strategy, advertising, logistics, creative, and brand protection.
Our teams support brands with:
- Strategic account and growth management
- Advertising and demand generation across Amazon media
- Listing optimization and creative execution
- Logistics coordination and operational oversight
- Brand protection and compliance management
This structure ensures every part of the Amazon business is managed by specialists while remaining aligned to a single growth strategy.

“When we came across Market Defense, it was a no brainer for us. Everything they offered was everything we needed. We are seeing incredible results.”
- VP, Global Sales, Skyn Iceland
Our name reflects a core belief: if you want to grow on Amazon, you have to protect what you've built. Brand protection is the foundation of growth. If unauthorized sellers are winning the Buy Box, your ads are funding their sales, not yours. We work with brands that have strong brand equity they want to protect and grow, and as a full-service partner to beauty and lifestyle brands we manage everything across advertising, creative, content, and account strategy, all working together to drive results that are actually yours to keep.
We manage everything: account and catalog management, brand protection, advertising, creative, logistics, and financial planning. Most brands come to us managing multiple vendors across these functions, each with their own reporting, their own priorities, and no one connecting the dots. We replace that complexity with a single expert team that operates seamlessly across every function, where insights from one discipline constantly inform and improve the others. The work we do is complex. Our partnership is simple.
Market Defense manages the entire Amazon business end to end, all under one roof and one unified strategy. Most agencies hand off pieces of the business to separate teams with separate KPIs. We treat it as one connected system where every decision informs the next. Our data infrastructure gives brands a single view of performance across every channel, and we use that intelligence to make Amazon work harder, aligning Google search data with Amazon keyword strategy, turning TikTok creative learnings into Amazon Sponsored Brand Video, and connecting off-Amazon spend directly to on-Amazon conversion.
Unlike many Amazon agencies that operate as resellers, we are not a reseller. We work directly inside your account, meaning every sale on Amazon is yours. You own the Buy Box, you own the data, and you own the customer relationship. Because your Amazon account is built and grown in your name, it becomes a real business asset, and we have helped many brands leverage that asset as part of a successful exit. We work on a percentage of revenue model because we want to be directly incentivized to grow your business.
Building a world-class Amazon team means hiring across strategy, advertising, creative, operations, logistics, brand protection, and financial planning, and doing it at a senior level across every function. The fully loaded cost of that team runs between $890K and $1.3M annually, before you factor in the 6 to 12 months it takes to recruit, onboard, and align everyone. Market Defense gives you that same depth of expertise on day one, at a fraction of the cost, with a team that averages 8 or more years on Amazon and has already built the technology infrastructure, tools, and institutional knowledge that an in-house team would spend years developing. The brands that have tried to build in-house consistently tell us the same thing: they underestimated the complexity and overestimated how quickly a new team could perform at the level their brand deserved.
