Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Kick Off
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days will run October 7–8, 2025 as exclusive, member-only savings for Prime subscribers, with discounts and Abo-Deals intended to recruit new Prime members and expand into Ireland, Colombia and Mexico. The two-day event is framed by Amazon as driving billions in worldwide revenue while also serving as a platform for marketers to plan campaigns around high seasonal demand.

A TripleLift study cited by Marco Dohmen of TripleLift stresses creativity as a leading factor in campaign performance, highlighting dynamic, shoppable formats and measurable outcomes. The coverage notes Amazon’s ongoing investments in AI, AR, and programmatic advertising, with Netflix premium ads sold via Amazon DSP as an example of cross-platform monetization.

Amazon Sets Prime Deal Days 2026 for October 6-7
Amazon has announced that its Prime Deal Days 2026 will take place on October 6 and 7 in Germany, offering Prime members access to more than one million deals over 48 hours. The event, occurring just weeks before Black Friday and the Christmas shopping season, aims to drive sales and increase engagement with Prime and other Amazon services. New deals will be added three times daily across categories including electronics, home, kitchen, fashion, cosmetics, and family products. The event will also include promotions for Amazon Haul and Amazon Music Unlimited, and will leverage the AI shopping assistant Rufus to help customers navigate the vast selection. This marks Amazon's second major Prime sales event of the year, following the four-day Prime Day in June, and is expected to intensify competition during the Q4 discount period.
AWS Launches 'Built Together' Community Program for Data Centers
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced a new community program called 'Built Together' to address growing criticism over its data center expansion in the U.S. The program includes additional investments of over $1 billion over five years into communities hosting AWS data centers, focusing on education, workforce training, energy efficiency, water conservation, and local infrastructure. AWS also introduced the 'Amazon Data Center Commitment', which outlines pledges to cover additional energy and grid costs, publish annual sustainability metrics, meet EPA Tier-4 standards for backup systems, and achieve water positivity by 2030. The company claims it will train up to 100,000 people annually by 2028 and retrofit over 300 schools and public buildings and 30,000 homes. AWS will also stop using confidentiality agreements with authorities for new projects, aiming for greater transparency with local communities.
NFL Streaming Draws Millions, But Attention Lags Ratings
A new TVision report reveals a significant gap between NFL streaming audience reach and actual viewer attention. While Amazon's Lions-Bills game drew 18.6 million viewers and Netflix's 49ers-Rams matchup averaged 18.5 million, attention ratios across eight apps and networks ranged from 50% to 59%, averaging 53%. The report highlights that large audiences don't guarantee high attention, as seen in World Cup matches where smaller audiences ranked higher in attention. For example, in the Lions-Bills game, co-viewing fell from 1.6 to 1.4 in the second half while attention rose from 57% to 59%. Conversely, in the Vikings-Bears game, attention dropped after a key player left, despite stable co-viewing. TVision also found a 'halo effect' where ads first seen in NFL playoff games received higher attention in subsequent NFL programming. The findings suggest traditional ratings metrics may not fully capture viewer engagement as streaming becomes more prevalent in sports.
