Amazon Ads Rebrands DSP to DVA, Launches Agentic Assistant
At its unBoxed event in San Francisco on September 29, 2026, Amazon Ads announced a major overhaul, renaming its DSP to DVA (Display, Video, and Audio) and merging the console into 'The Amazon Ads Agent.' This AI-powered platform simplifies campaign setup with DVA+ (including Performance Plus and Brand Plus) and Full-Funnel Campaigns, unifying Sponsored Display, Sponsored TV, and programmatic buying. The Agent offers natural language targeting, analytics, and AI guidance, with US tests showing a 25% increase in unique customers and over 10% lower cost per impression. Rollout continues in coming months, including Germany. In other industry news, Goalhanger is bringing ad sales in-house, a US judge allowed $3.2B damages suit against Google, IAB Europe finalized CTV standards, Apple's iOS 27 blocked The Trade Desk on Safari, and Dailymotion, Google DV360, and GVTLabs launched new products. Meanwhile, Walt Disney is planning a major restructuring of its television operations, shifting focus from legacy cable and broadcast channels toward streaming-centered organization, led by Debra O'Connell, chairman of Disney Entertainment Television. The plan consolidates divisions like ABC Entertainment, 20th Television, Hulu Originals, and aims to reduce duplicated roles and align budgets with streaming metrics, following declining affiliate fees and cord-cutting. Hundreds of layoffs are expected, with further cuts in legal, HR, and tech departments, reflecting an industry-wide trend toward streaming-first strategies.
