Fresh off four days at SXSW 2026 made one thing clear: AI is accelerating everything: content, commerce, discovery. But trust isnโt scaling the same way. Across panels and conversations with leaders from Samsung Electronics and 7-Eleven, GLD, American Airlines, Zillow, Microsoft, Madison Reed, Virgin & many more, a consistent theme emerged: The brands that win in an AI-driven world will be the ones that build real relationships with their audiences. Not just reach, but participation... connection. Thatโs ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ we are building, to help brands create better experiences, more engagement, and boosted revenue in trusted destinations across ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ, one where media & entertainment publishers, retailers, consumer services brands, creators, customers, and culture converge. It's been an INCREDIBLE few days with partners like iHeartMedia (who know a thing or two about good content and experiences) along with new and old friends alike. Here's to a future for marketers, innovators, and growth-minded leaders that isnโt just smarter... itโs more human.
