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 of its advertising platform. The Amazon DSP has been renamed DVA (Display, Video, and Audio), and the entire advertising console, including DSP and sponsored products, has been merged into a new unified experience called 'The Amazon Ads Agent.' This AI-powered platform simplifies campaign setup with features like DVA+ (encompassing Performance Plus and Brand Plus) and Full-Funnel Campaigns for smaller advertisers. DVA+ unifies Sponsored Display, Sponsored TV, and programmatic campaigns into a single buying experience, while the Agent offers natural language targeting, analytics, and AI-powered guidance. Initial US tests show a 25% increase in unique customers and over 10% lower cost per impression. The rollout will continue in the coming months, including in Germany.
