Amazon DSP advertising reporting: did it pay off?
DSP puts your brand on Prime Video, Fire TV, Twitch and the open web. Nova shows what it sold, and what it left in your profit.

Every campaign, and whether it is on budget. Illustrative values.

Is my DSP spending the way I planned?
Open a campaign and see its budget, how fast it is spending, how many shoppers it reached and how often. No second console to learn.

What did it actually sell?
Shoppers who saw your ad often buy a different product of yours. Nova shows both: the product you promoted, and the rest of your brand, counted over 14 days.

Where did shoppers see it?
Prime Video, Fire TV, Amazon's pages or the open web, on a phone or a TV. See which place, and which ad, brought buyers.

Who did it reach?
The audiences you picked, and the ones you reached anyway. One shopper can sit in several, so the shares never add up to 100%.

Did it make me money?
DSP lands in your P&L as its own line, next to fees and cost of goods. It counts in TACOS and net profit, and never muddies your PPC ACOS.

Sponsored ads keep their own lane in Amazon advertising analytics, and every other cost sits in the profit and loss.
