Viral Nation has rolled out AI Discovery, a generative engine optimization offering that treats social and creator activity as part of the data environment shaping AI recommendations.

LG’s “Free up your mind” campaign puts mental load at the center of AI
In 2026, “mental load” has become the kind of phrase people don’t just relate to, they instantly feel. It’s the constant background tab-switching of modern life: tiny decisions, house admin, reminders, and the sense that even rest has a checklist.

Dove returns to the US Open with “Don’t Sweat It. Make A Racket.”
There’s a very specific kind of summer confidence that shows up at the US Open: the outfit is part of the event, the heat is part of the story, and everyone is doing a little mental math about how they will look in photos after hours of sun, crowds, and cheering. Dove is leaning directly…

GRAFF taps BTS’ Jung Kook as global ambassador for a new signature campaign

CeraVe uses a renovation-style social series to counter Gen Z “tanmaxxing”
The whole “tanmaxxing” moment is built for the internet: a slightly edgy, looks-first trend that turns sun exposure into a kind of aesthetic project, complete with hacks, routines, and a feed-friendly glow. That is exactly why CeraVe is trying to meet Gen Z in the format they already binge. In a new episodic social series,…

AI made brand safety a production problem
Brand safety is still managed as though the main danger begins when an ad lands beside harmful content. That model is now too narrow. AI-generated creative, technology partnerships and connected products can make the campaign itself the source of reputational risk before media placement enters the picture. The uncomfortable shift for communications leaders is that…

Epoch CEO Jade Choy on the event the CRM forgot
A US$25,000 summit can help unlock a US$150,000 opportunity and still appear in the CRM as a failure. The problem is not necessarily the event. It is the broken chain between registration, attendance, sales conversations, and opportunity records.

Jung Kook fronts Chanel 1957 L’Extrait as fans revive the “career-boosting” scent
Perfume discourse does not usually get nicknames like “walking ATM,” but that’s exactly the kind of internet lore that’s followed Chanel’s 1957 in parts of Asia, especially across Chinese social platforms.
