Make up the data. Invent some metrics or sales info to go along with the work you show. They won’t know the difference, and it’s all they care about.
It's very competitive, you basically have to be in the top 1% of copywriters, award winning, demonstrate dollar value of copy. If you have some data skills (basic SQL) and can monetize the value of your copy, even better.
Threads like this make me so glad I left the catty world of agencies. OP wants advice and a professional PowerPoint builder is telling me I don’t understand advertising. 👋🏼
Pull any sort of data you can. I just went through the hiring training myself and we are asked to vote “not inclined to hire” for anyone who can’t back up their work with data. Do you have a friend on your analytics team who can give you some performance metrics?
Of course Amazon is going to want to see work with the results you driven. Amazon is all about the data. And now more than ever - creatives need to understand how their work drives results just as much as the media folks do. It’s not too late to ask those questions and get the results for your next round of interviews.

Do you have a portfolio?
It’s called a bar raiser, their concept is theirs supposed to limit preference hires,
Yikes, I heard their hiring process was a little cray, but I didn't know it was this intense. Hopefully they'll be able to see your value regardless.

It was in 2019 for the Amazon ads org so sales enablement for larger companies that sell on Amazon so do with that what you will in this. I think this was it:
135 TC
85 base
50 in RSUs (this is where my memory is a little fuzzy) but they don’t fully vest until year 4 so you get a sign on bonus for the first two years. They don’t vest until the second year and your sign on bonus usually decreases the second year.
Yes, they do. it's very extensive. Good luck!
Are you sure you’ve got nothing? I’d struggle with this too because I don’t personally care much about data, but my old partner got hired there using mostly our work. If any of your work has been submitted to the Effie’s (or any awards) there’s data in the case study and submission. Have your account or strategy teams ever mentioned a piece of work performed well or exceeded the client’s goal .. or just ask them now, because they’d know. Also think about insights you’ve used in your work, anything that’s measurable is data (doesn’t matter if the insight was yours or came from the brief as long as you can explain how it informed the creative you did).
