Launch announcement

Reach new audiences using DVA+, bringing the power of programmatic advertising to everyone.

September 29, 2026

What launched?

Today, to reach new audiences, advertisers face growing complexity and fragmentation across the tools that they need.

DVA+ introduces a simplified way to create Display, Video, and Audio campaigns—and a new way of working within Amazon Ads Agent. Reach audiences across streaming TV, online video, display, and audio — on Amazon properties and the open internet — from a single campaign.

Instead of needing to choose between automation and manual campaign building, DVA+ is designed around a more flexible model: start with AI, add control when you need it, and move between conversational assistance and direct controls as your strategy requires.

The experience adapts to how you want to work—not the other way around. Advertisers can move quickly when AI can do the heavy lifting and step in with greater precision when their expertise matters most.

DVA+ takes campaign creation down to just four steps. Select your objective — sales, traffic, awareness, leads, and more — then select your products (or brand URL), review AI-generated creatives, set your budget, and launch in minutes across all available media types. DVA+ handles targeting, inventory selection, format allocation, bidding, creative generation, and continuous optimization — no DSP expertise required.

When you need full control, open advanced settings to access new campaign guidance, a dynamic workspace, and full customization over targeting, deals, delivery, and more. The programmatic capabilities advertisers already rely on — audience targeting, frequency management, deals, custom bidding — all live in advanced settings, alongside new capabilities that bring intelligence directly into campaign creation.

Both are powered by Brand+ and Performance+. Brand+ drives awareness, reach, and downstream engagement. Performance+ drives consideration and conversion. Together, they have delivered up to 68% improvement in cost per acquisition.1 DVA+ selects the right optimization solution based on your objective and applies it automatically. In advanced settings, you can configure how Brand+ and Performance+ are deployed — you decide when AI helps and when you directly configure.

Same infrastructure, same signals, same measurement. You choose the way you work.

Create a Display, Video, and Audio campaign in four steps with DVA+ — select your objective, choose your products, review AI-generated creatives, and set your budget.

Why is it important?

This is more than a redesigned campaign creation flow. DVA+ changes how advertisers interact with Amazon Ads Agent—bringing the power of programmatic advertising to everyone and making it easier for advertisers to spend less time operating campaigns and more time directing strategy.

Measurable outcomes across every stage of the customer journey — that's what DVA+ delivers from day one. Brand+ drives awareness, reach, and downstream engagement—delivering +71% more detail page views and +64% lift in purchases for sellers,6 and +8% lift in reach, +115% more brand site page views, and 2.5x lift in conversion events for off-Amazon brands.7 Performance+ drives conversion — delivering +34% higher ROAS for sellers2 and +68% improvement in cost per acquisition for off-Amazon brands.3 Domain-level reporting provides visibility into exactly where every impression served — by publisher, by format, and by geography.

AI-generated creative helps advertisers launch across display, online video, and streaming TV. DVA+ creates assets from product listings or a brand URL. No creative team or production budget required. Advertisers can also upload their own creative assets. Combining streaming TV, online video, and display delivers +41% higher new-to-brand engagement.4

For advertisers who need greater precision, turning on advanced settings makes it easier for you to implement complex media strategies. Describe targeting in natural language, upload a media plan and let it translate into campaign structure, or configure every setting manually. Drafts, bulk manage, and pre-flight validation reduce manual work at scale (as these features roll out). Campaign Guidance (including health, forecasting, what-if analysis and more) — available in advanced settings — has helped engagers achieve nearly 2x higher ROAS vs. non-engagers.5
