BTS’ US recognition hits 42% as favorability reaches a survey high

Hilary Duff’s “loonie dog” moment sparked a 24-hour DOOH response
The funniest part of a live show is usually the stuff that is not planned, the off-script bit that instantly turns into a group chat clip.

Hublot names Jung Kook as global brand ambassador for Big Bang Original Unico
When a global pop star links a career milestone to a luxury brand moment, fans clock it as more than a photoshoot.

GEO is pushing PR and marketing to share ownership of AI visibility
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is emerging as the next contested “ownership” area inside organizations, because it shapes how AI assistants describe brands when consumers ask questions.

Dove’s “Real Reviews” flips influencer content into community proof
Trust is getting harder to buy in haircare feeds. Between perfectly lit tutorials and sponsor-tagged “holy grail” claims, a lot of people have learned to scroll with suspicion, especially when they are trying to fix something as personal (and frustrating) as hair damage. Dove Hair Care is leaning into that skepticism with a social-first push…

Why Jung Kook’s Calvin Klein capsule hit the fandom sweet spot
When a fandom decides something is collectible, the product stops being “merch” or “apparel” and becomes proof you were there for the moment. That is the energy that powered Jung Kook’s Calvin Klein capsule: fast sell-outs, “haul” culture, and fans treating packaging like part of the drop. Calvin Klein and Jung Kook framed the collaboration…

Gap’s “Denim on your own” leans on Robyn nostalgia and rising stars
There’s a specific kind of pop nostalgia that never really leaves the internet, it just waits for the right moment to come back. Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own” is one of those songs: instantly recognizable, emotionally loaded, and constantly rediscovered through edits, covers, and dance clips.

AI search visibility has an attribution problem
AI search visibility is becoming easier for marketing teams to observe and harder for them to connect to revenue.
