Be Customer Obsessed and SimplifyUse a clean, simple design on all your marketing collateral. Don’t overwhelm
the customer with unnecessary visuals or content. Ensure the content and presentation will resonate with your customer’s needs.
Be Unique and Make it YoursThese are your marketing assets, not those of AWS. Make sure to highlight
your company’s brand and value-add in all your collateral.
Pay Attention to DetailThese guidelines apply to each individual element of marketing campaigns and assets, such as
websites, emails, event collateral, print collateral, social media, and online ads. All marketing collateral produced by APN Partners that refers to or references AWS must comply with these
guidelines. Failure to comply with these guidelines, will result in AWS requiring you to rectify the incompliant use or revocation of your rights to use AWS trademarks in your marketing collateral.

PR
We are more than happy to support our APN Partners’ press releases, with or without a quote from AWS. If a quote from AWS is requested, please contact your PDM for guidelines. If a quote from AWS is not requested, as a courtesy, we would like to review your press release prior to going public to ensure consistency with AWS’ messaging guidelines and brand voice. Please submit the draft to your PDM. Please allow AWS up to 10 business days’ notice to properly review.
The release should not:
• DO NOT use the terms “partners” or “partnership” or “alliance” to describe the AWS relationship. We prefer the terms “agreement,” “teamed,” “in cooperation with,” or “relationship”
• DO NOT use the name “Amazon” when referring to Amazon Web Services or AWS.
• DO NOT use the terms “hybrid, “hybrid architecture”, “hybrid cloud”, public cloud”, “private cloud” or “on-premises environment” may be approved, but those terms should not be used to describe AWS.
• DO NOT include a quote from an Amazon or AWS executive unless previously agreed upon and approved.
• DO NOT include any sales projections.
• DO NOT disclose proprietary information about Amazon or AWS.
• DO NOT refer to our stock ticker symbol.
• DO NOT use the “About AWS” boilerplate. These are reserved for AWS releases only.
Additional points to keep in mind on AWS Requirements:
• The release should highlight a clear call to action and the customer benefit. PR will not provide an AWS quote for a future service or for releases that are merely stating that the two companies “will be working together.”
• We will not approve any declarative statements about someone being “the best”, “the first”, “the only”, etc. without substantiation of the claim.
• Please do not use the term “partnering” in your press release because it could insinuate that there was co-development done. Its fine to say that we are “working with so and so”, but the term “partner” will often get rejected.
• AWS Marketplace does not endorse any AWS Marketplace Seller feature, product, or benefit. You may say that your feature or product is available within AWS Marketplace.
• Do not include statements that could be interpreted to imply that AWS is not secure, not scalable, not cost effective, not accessible, etc.....without your product or service. When it comes to security, it is best to look at the messaging on the Security page of the AWS Website and the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.
• We recommend including customer quotes in your press release submissions.
• Lastly, make sure it does not sound like a solution runs “in” AWS. It is more appropriate to reference that it runs “on” AWS, or supports AWS. Stating that something runs “in” AWS makes it sound more integrated than it actually is. For this reason, please also avoid language that says that your solution is tightly “integrated” with AWS.
Approved language:
• “The engagement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) builds on an existing relationship. Together, the companies are providing a complete cloud services and cloud management portfolio that will give enterprise customers fast, flexible access to the cloud.”
• “XX application runs on the flexible, scalable, pay-as-you-go AWS Cloud.”
• “…while using the company’s existing on-premises environment.”
• “XXX and Amazon Web Services are working together to….”
Not Approved language:
• “XXX announces a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services.”
• “The Amazon Web Services alliance with XXX significantly extends what is already a clear and dramatic leadership position for both companies. No other company currently can match the flexibility and power of this offering.”
• “XXX is the first to provide these capabilities for enterprise customers.”
• “XXX will speed the adoption of the AWS cloud.”
• “XX application protects organizations from the risks of cloud systems.”
• “XX application is designed for enterprise workloads and runs in the AWS Cloud.”
• …”while using the company’s existing private Cloud environment.”

Amazon Web Services is particular about our messaging and how we, our APN Partners, and AWS Marketplace Sellers communicate with customers. Following these guidelines will help ensure content or collateral is approved as quickly as possible.
1. Content should be relevant to the audience and highlight a clear customer benefit.
2. Be factual and back up all claims with supporting data and sources.
3. Do not use the name “Amazon” when referring to Amazon Web Services or AWS.
4. When referring to AWS, do use the name “Amazon Web Services” or “AWS”. Do not use the terms “AWS platform”, “AWS gateway”, “AWS ecosystem”, or “AWS infrastructure”.
5. All references to AWS services need to use accurate branding. Refer to the AWS website for accurate branding.
• Approved: Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift
• Not approved: EC2, S3, Redshift
6. When referring to AWS Marketplace, do include “AWS” before Marketplace. At no time, should Marketplace be used as a stand-alone term. Marketplace should also be one word, with a capital “M”.
7. AWS Marketplace does not endorse any AWS Marketplace Seller feature, product, or benefit. You may say that your feature or product is available within the AWS Marketplace.
8. AWS will not approve use of the terms “partnership” or “alliance” to describe the AWS relationship within the context of joint engineering. Alternative language such as “working with” or “in cooperation with” is approvable.
• Approved Language: “XXX is releasing XX for Amazon Web Services to….”
• Not Approved Language: “XXX announces a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services.”
9. AWS will not approve use of any sales projections, disclosure of proprietary information about Amazon or AWS nor inclusions of the AMZN stock ticker symbol.
10. AWS will not approve statements around someone being “the best”, “the first”, “the only”, etc. It is very difficult to support this type of claim. We understand solutions/technologies may in fact be “the first” or “the best-selling”, however, we have little time to prove any/all claims, which can lead to unmanageable lead times.
• Approved Language: “XXX provides key capabilities for enterprise customers such as…”
• Not Approved Language: “XXX is the first to provide these capabilities for enterprise customers.”
11. AWS appreciates that APN Partners and AWS Marketplace Sellers also partner with many other companies in the cloud computing industry. When referencing other partnerships or partnership with AWS, refrain from making direct comparisons of products or companies, comparing companies’ strengths or weaknesses or defining companies in any negative manner.
12. Do not use statements that could insinuate that AWS or the cloud in general is not secure, not scalable, not reliable, not cost effective, not accessible, not performant, etc….without the APN Partner’s or AWS Seller’s product or service. Focus messaging on how your product, service or offering complements AWS.
• Approved Language: “XXX application provides an added layer of encryption to the existing security of AWS.”
• Approved Language: “XXX helps you manage access and provides a consolidated view on identity types across your organization.”
• Approved Language: “XXX helps you leverage the elastic scalability of the cloud.”
• Not Approved Language: “AWS isn’t secure/reliable/performant without XXX solution.”

• Not approved language: “It’s really hard to make your AWS environment highly secure/reliable/performant without XXX solution.”
• Not approved language: “XXX will speed the adoption of AWS.”
• Not approved language: “Deploying applications on AWS is complex without XXX solution.”
• Not approved language: “Migrating on-premises systems to the cloud can be risky and costly, with XXX solution those risks and costs are no longer an issue.”
13. When positioning Security offerings, position products in ways that will enhance security for the customer. Do not use language that could insinuate AWS is not secure. When it comes to security, it is best to look at the messaging on the Security page of the AWS Website. We approach security as a shared model, where we have responsibility for security in the domain we control (hypervisor, physical hardware, facilities, etc.), and the customer has responsibility for securing the domain that will be in their control (guest OS and above). Learn more about the AWS Shared Responsibility model here: https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/ shared-responsibility-model/.
• Approved Language: “XXX solution will help you incorporate security best practices into your cloud migration.”
• Approved Language: “XXX solution will help automate security and compliance processes in your organization.”
• Not Approved Language: “Migrating to the cloud can be a security nightmare without XXX application.”
• Not Approved Language: “XXX application protects organizations from the risks of cloud systems.”
14. The terms “hybrid”, “hybrid architecture”, “hybrid cloud”, “public cloud”, “private cloud” or “on-premises environment” may be approved, but those terms should not be used to describe AWS.
• Approved Language: “XXX makes it easier to manage security across hybrid cloud environments…”
• Approved Language: “XXX enables enterprises to extend their on-premises investment in XXX onto AWS…”
• Approved Language: “XXX delivers workload portability across your on-premises (or private cloud) infrastructure and AWS…”
• Approved Language: “XXX delivers end-to-end visibility across hybrid architectures…”
• Approved Language: “XXX can help you plan and accelerate workload migrations from your on-premises (or private cloud) infrastructure to AWS…”
• Approved Language: “XXX solution is designed to work in cloud, hybrid cloud and on-premises environments…”
• Not Approved Language: “The AWS public cloud …”
• Not Approved Language: “XXX application enables you to build an AWS hybrid cloud…”
15. AWS will NOT approve the use of the term “multi-cloud”.
16. Make sure it does not sound like a solution runs “in” AWS. It is more appropriate to reference that it runs “on” AWS. Stating that something runs “in” AWS makes it sound more integrated than it actually is. Similarly, please don’t imply that your solution is tightly “integrated” with AWS.
• Approved Language: “XXX application is designed for enterprise workloads and runs on AWS”
• Not Approved Language “XXX application is designed for enterprise workloads and runs in the AWS Cloud.”
17. Collateral and signage at AWS events should not reference other public clouds in either copy or graphics/visuals/images.
