In this episode, Michael Erickson Facchin and Mansour Norouzi break down the biggest Amazon Ads updates following UnBox 2025. They talk about why the first half of the year felt tougher for many sellers, how to read market signals the right way, and how new tools — from the unified ad console and advanced reporting to AI assistants in DSP and AMC — can help brands make smarter decisions, stay profitable, and position themselves for growth heading into 2026.

We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
