The Brands taxonomy is an extra categorization tool for filtering and reporting purposes. It does not impact ad display or grouping; it is only an organizational tool.
Prior to Ad Commander 1.5.0, this taxonomy was called “Advertisers.” The switch was made because “Advertisers” conflicts with the Selling Ads feature introduced in 1.5.0.
Disabling Brands taxonomy UI
If you’re not using the Brands taxonomy, you can remove the UI elements from Ad Commander. This setting is available under Ad Commander -> Settings -> Admin.
