What Hector does

Hector is an Amazon AdTech platform built to consolidate fragmented advertising workflows for brands and agencies selling on Amazon. Founded in 2023 and operating through Hector AI Global Inc (Delaware) and Neon Digital Media Pvt. Ltd. / NDM Marketing Private Limited (India), the company unifies Amazon DSP, Sponsored Ads (Products, Brands, Display), and Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) into a single dashboard with rule-based automation, granular dayparting, and natural-language query interfaces. Core technical components include Amazon Marketing Stream ingestion (hourly metrics with ~90-minute delay), AMC-derived attribution and audience creation without SQL, bulk auto-campaign creation, and an Agentic Audit Framework that autonomously generates optimization recommendations across bid, placement, and search-term signals.

The platform's product surface has expanded in 2024 to include Self-Serve Amazon DSP with pay-as-you-go pricing ($250/month entry plus percentage of ad spend), a Managed tier at $1,000/month, HectorGPT for natural-language queries, Rapid Retail Analytics for near-real-time sales visibility, and Q-Commerce reporting for Blinkit, Zepto, and Big Basket Instamart. Multi-marketplace coverage now spans Amazon, Flipkart, and Myntra. Customer logos include Tata Consumer Products, Bajaj Consumer Care, Marico, Emami, Duroflex, Arvind, Noise, Minimalist, Pilgrim, and Campus, alongside international cases such as LeCalla (UK/Germany expansion).

The go-to-market blends product-led growth (self-serve sign-up, no credit card, 15-minute integration) with demo-driven enterprise sales and an agency channel for multi-brand DSP management. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, holds ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications, and operates with a small team (11-50 employees) from its Mumbai APAC hub and Dover, Delaware headquarters.
