In a strategic move, Disney is set to trim its workforce by about 1,000 positions, primarily within its marketing department, according to the Wall Street Journal.

This initiative, rumored to have been planned before Josh D'Amaro's recent appointment as CEO, seeks to optimize the company's operations under the guidance of newly appointed Chief Marketing Officer Asad Ayaz.

Ayaz, who has been tasked with unifying Disney's marketing division, is leading this cost-reduction effort dubbed Project Imagine. The company, employing around 231,000 people, aims to minimize expenses without significantly impacting its total workforce. Disney has not responded to requests for comments on this report.
