The Amazon Advertising Avengers: Assembling Search & DSP for World Domination

TL;DR: If your Amazon Search and DSP campaigns aren't working together like Thor and his hammer, you're doing it wrong. Time to assemble your advertising Avengers before Thanos (aka your competition) snaps away half your market share. 🦸‍♂️💥

Remember when you thought managing separate ad campaigns was your superpower? Plot twist: Amazon just handed you the Infinity Gauntlet of advertising by uniting Search and DSP. And like any good Marvel movie, this power-up couldn't have come at a better time – Q4 is approaching faster than Quicksilver on espresso.
