How DVA+ works with you

Personalized recommendations

When you begin creating a Display, Video and Audio campaign using DVA+, the conversational experience reviews your account history, including past campaigns, performance trends and product catalogues, and surfaces a recommended objective and products before you make a single selection. Every recommendation is transparent: you see why it was suggested and approve or adjust before it takes effect.

Chat or form

You choose how you want to work. Use the conversational experience to describe what you want – “launch a streaming TV campaign for my top five ASINs with a $500 weekly budget” – and DVA+ builds the campaign for you. Or use the form-based interface for step-by-step control. Both paths produce the same campaign.

Your controls and transparency with DVA+

Mid-flight editing

Once live, you maintain control over your budget, flight dates, products, creative and location targeting (for brands that do not sell on Amazon). Make changes through the campaign settings form or through the conversational experience. Every edit requires your explicit confirmation before taking effect. Pause and resume your campaign at any time with immediate effect. When you need more control, open advanced settings to unlock full customization over audiences, bidding, inventory and creative strategy.

Reporting visibility

Display, Video, and Audio campaigns provide glass-box reporting with domain-level delivery visibility, publisher-level breakdowns, and format-by-geography performance reporting. Have more clarity on what the AI is doing: you always understand where your ads ran, and how they performed. Connect Amazon Marketing Cloud for deeper audience and path-to-conversion analysis.

Ad policy auto-resolution

If your campaign is rejected due to the Amazon Ads policy, if possible, the system will auto-resolve the issue by applying content ratings exclusions, dayparting or excluding specific supply sources. DVA+ automatically applies the required settings and resubmits your campaign for approval, so your campaign can go live without any manual action on your part.
