Disney is set to lay off as many as 1,000 employees, primarily from its marketing department, as part of a new cost-cutting phase initiated shortly after Josh D'Amaro became CEO in mid-March. This follows a major reorganization and workforce reduction of 7,000 jobs in 2023 under former CEO Bob Iger. The marketing department was recently consolidated under a single chief marketing officer, Asad Ayaz, marking the first time all Disney units are unified under one marketing leader. These layoffs reflect ongoing efforts to streamline operations and strengthen Disney's long-term growth prospects after a challenging period for the company.
