FunnL Launches Unified End-to-End B2B Growth Engine with Video Production and Social Media Services

FunnL has launched social media management and video production services, expanding its B2B demand generation platform to include creative production capabilities. The new services, available immediately to clients, integrate brand content with outbound sales programs and intent-driven outreach within a single operating system.

The expansion addresses a persistent coordination challenge in B2B growth: marketing teams manage brand visibility through external agencies while sales and demand generation operate separately, creating attribution gaps and fragmented workflows. FunnL’s unified approach allows companies to connect social presence, video content, and pipeline development through one vendor with shared data infrastructure.

FunnL has built a dedicated creative production team to deliver platform-specific social media content, short-form video (reels, shorts, social clips), long-form video (explainers, product demos, corporate stories), and creative direction for digital-first B2B audiences. These capabilities integrate with FunnL’s existing infrastructure, which includes ICP development, multi-channel outreach, intent-based targeting, and sales appointment setting.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Michael McNeal, VP of Product at SALESmanago

“B2B teams are under increasing pressure to connect brand activity directly to revenue outcomes,” said Alpesh Kumar, COO of FunnL. “This expansion allows companies to align storytelling, social presence, and outbound execution within a single operating model. The goal is not more content or more outreach, but a clearer path from attention to pipeline.”

The addition reflects client demand for integrated solutions that eliminate the coordination overhead of managing separate vendors. By consolidating creative, social media, and demand generation functions, FunnL provides unified reporting on content performance, engagement metrics, and pipeline contribution across all channels.

The expanded service portfolio is available to new and existing clients. Companies can integrate social media management and video production with current demand generation programs or engage these services independently.

Boardwalktech Launches Verity, the Intelligent Controls Platform

An AI‑Driven Platform for Continuous Controls Automation, Testing & Monitoring  Across Financial Institutions and Large Enterprises

Boardwalktech Software Corp., a provider of patented digital‑ledger and AI‑enabled enterprise software solutions, announced the launch of Boardwalk Verity™, its next‑generation Intelligent Controls Platform. Verity modernizes how large enterprises design, automate, test, and continuously monitor operational, financial, and compliance controls across complex, data‑driven environments.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Haley Trost, Group Product Marketing Manager @ Braze

Today, large enterprises often deploy hundreds, or even thousands, of personnel to manually execute and test mandated controls. These manual, point‑in‑time approaches are costly, slow, and increasingly misaligned with regulatory expectations. By shifting controls execution and testing from manual processes to AI‑driven intelligent automation with Verity, organizations can reduce operational and audit costs by millions of dollars annually, dramatically increase testing frequency and coverage, and materially lower operational and regulatory risk exposure.

About Boardwalk Verity, The Intelligent Controls Platform

Purpose‑built for highly regulated organizations, including banks, insurers, and global financial institutions, Verity leverages Generative AI and Agentic AI for controls automation, execution, validation, testing, and continuous monitoring across thousands of business controls. Boardwalk Verity delivers a true end‑to‑end controls lifecycle management platform. Enterprises can design, embed, automate, test, and continuously monitor controls directly within mission‑critical business processes using Verity’s unique AI‑enabled data management and workflow automation capabilities.

Marketing Technology News: From Data to Impact: How AI is Transforming Interactive CTV Ads

Unlike traditional sample‑based, retrospective testing approaches, Verity enables continuous, real‑time controls testing and monitoring through Boardwalk Intelligent AI Assistants and AI Agents. The platform delivers full traceability, defensible audit evidence, and immutable audit trails across distributed systems, data sources, and teams, turning controls from a periodic compliance obligation into an always‑on operational capability.

In addition, Verity includes AI‑driven real‑time analytics and early‑warning intelligence that proactively identifies control weaknesses, exceptions, and emerging risks. This enables organizations to remediate issues earlier, shorten audit cycles, improve regulatory confidence, and materially reduce the time and cost associated with both internal and external audits.

Advanced Creative, Targeting, and the Home Screen Are Driving What Viewers Remember on Connected TV

Advanced Creative, Targeting, and the Home Screen Are Driving What Viewers Remember on Connected TV

LG Ad Solutions Logo

New LG Ad Solutions and MediaScience research, based on biometric and eye-tracking data, shows attention remains steady across the Smart TV journey—from power-on through Home Screen discovery to CTV video.

As Connected TV continues to redefine how people discover content and brands, LG Ad Solutions commissioned a study conducted by MediaScience to better understand what makes advertising effective on the biggest screen in the home.

Findings from The Art & Science of the CTV-First Era: Part 2 – Consumer Experience highlight a broader shift in how TV advertising is being built and experienced. As Connected TV brings creative and targeting together in a single environment, attention is increasingly shaped by where and how ads appear—not just how often. This research sets the stage for a closer look at the Smart TV Home Screen and the new creative approaches emerging there, where discovery, relevance, and interaction are redefining how brands connect with viewers.

Rather than tuning out, biometric and eye-tracking data show that viewers maintain consistent levels of attention and engagement throughout the Smart TV journey—from the moment they turn on the TV, through Home Screen discovery, and into CTV video ads—creating powerful opportunities for brands to connect when advertising is thoughtfully designed.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Michael McNeal, VP of Product at SALESmanago

“Connected TV is finally delivering on what the industry has long promised—the emotional power of television combined with the precision and accountability of digital,” said Ioanna Protogiannis, Sr. Director, Measurement and Reporting Solutions, LG Ad Solutions. “This research shows that when sight, sound, and motion are powered by robust first-party data at global scale, advertising performs better. That’s the future of CTV, and it’s what LG Ad Solutions is building across the world’s Smart TV ecosystem.”

Creative and Targeting Drive Memorability

Targeting and creative quality determine what viewers remember. Targeting shapes how ads are received before creative ever comes into play. When ads feel relevant, viewers are more open to them and more willing to engage. When you partner targeting and advanced creative together, the results are even stronger.

Marketing Technology News: Complexity as a Cost Center: The Hidden Financial Burden of Fragmented Martech Stacks

When targeting is paired with advanced creative, ads over index on brand outcomes, leading viewers to have +62% higher unaided recall, +51% less likelihood of feeling overwhelmed. Interactive formats amplify those results even further, delivering 2X higher engagement and +138% higher unaided recall by turning ads from passive exposure into participation.

The Future of Advanced Creative

Through its partnership with BrightLine, LG Ad Solutions is enabling interactive campaigns within LG Channels, turning traditional TV spots into participatory experiences—without disrupting the viewing experience.

When asked about the usage of AI in advertising, Viewers said they are open to AI in TV ads—but only when it makes the experience better. The research finds 31% of viewers accept AI-generated ads, wanting them to support human creativity, not replace it. That expectation is already influencing how CTV ads are built. Advertisers can use AI to create cost efficiencies and variation without replacing creative decision-making.

The Home Screen Emerges as a Powerful Discovery Moment

The study also highlights the growing role of the Smart TV Home Screen as a creative canvas. As the first screen viewers encounter, it plays a central role in how content and brands are discovered. Viewers exposed to advanced creative on the Home Screen show +61% higher unaided recall, are +66% more likely to like the ad, +31% more likely to visit a website, and +28% more likely to interact compared to standard creative.

These findings align with LG Ad Solutions’ continued investment in Home Screen innovation—expanding advanced, interactive formats and enabling programmatic access to one of the most premium, high-attention surfaces in television.

The Bigger Picture

As Smart TVs become the center of how people discover, decide, and participate in culture, LG Ad Solutions is building the intelligence layer that connects data, creative, and performance across the entire TV experience. In doing so, the company is helping advertisers move from simply being seen to being remembered—without compromising the viewer experience.

impact.com Announces Record Growth and Industry Innovation in 2025, Cementing its Leadership in the Global Partnership Economy

impact.com Logo

Breakthroughs in creator and AI technology, new platform solutions, and strong financial performance define a landmark year for partnership-driven marketing and commerce

impact.com, the world’s leading commerce partnership marketing platform, announced its strong growth and innovation in 2025, propelled by accelerated client adoption across creator, affiliate, and B2B channels, advancements in product innovations, and continued global momentum. The company’s performance in 2025 underscores a defining shift in marketing, from transactional performance to relationship-driven growth.

Building on a year defined by transformation across the marketing landscape, impact.com continued to lead the evolution toward community-driven commerce, empowering brands and creators to build trust, authenticity, and growth through partnerships with commerce content creators. The company is on pace to surpass $270 million in annual recurring revenue as it closes out the fiscal year ending Jan. 31, up approximately 20% year over year, while powering close to $120 billion in partner-referred GMV (gross merchandise value, or sales derived from partner referrals) and over $5 billion in GTV (gross transactional value, or partner payouts) for the year.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Michael McNeal, VP of Product at SALESmanago

Brands spent over $1 trillion US dollars globally on advertising last year – and more than $600 billion of that will funnel into performance marketing channels, mainly paid search, paid social, and programmatic display ads. And as marketing costs surge and consumer trust in traditional channels continues its decline, impact.com solidified its leadership as the platform for partnership-driven performance. In 2025, the company supported nearly 350,000 active partnerships and welcomed more than 3,500 new customers, including New Balance, Hydrojug, Udemy, and Upside.

“People no longer trust ads – they trust communities. And the brands that win are reimagining performance marketing by showing up where that trust already lives, by partnering with the creators, advocates, and other commerce content publishers shaping what people see, share, and buy,” said David A. Yovanno, CEO of impact.com. “2025 was a breakout year for impact.com – and for the partnership economy as a whole. We’re proud to be the commerce partnership marketing platform that is helping to lead and power that evolution – connecting brands and trusted voices in ways that drive real influence and measurable growth.”

Marketing Technology News: Complexity as a Cost Center: The Hidden Financial Burden of Fragmented Martech Stacks

Reflecting this shift, Cyber Week research from impact.com shows that shoppers are more selective and value-driven than ever, concentrating 31% of total Cyber Week spend on Black Friday while using Cyber Monday for final purchases. Creator-driven revenue surged 51% year over year, and technology partners supporting price comparison and validation saw a 79% increase in transaction volume, highlighting the growing importance of trusted voices and data-driven tools in guiding consumer decisions.

The company also invested internally to strengthen its global presence and better serve customers, welcoming Jessica Breslav as its first Chief Customer Officer and promoting Justin Morrison to Chief Revenue Officer, a move that fueled a 20% increase in new logo bookings and a 23% expansion in sales headcount. The company also announced Anthony Clements as the new UK country manager, and expanded its global presence with a new Madrid office including the hiring of Head of Sales, Spain, Phillip Danielopol, and planned upgraded spaces in six major cities, strengthening collaboration across its 1,400+ employees in 20 countries.

The company also deepened its AI investments, launching ask impact, a conversational intelligence chatbot embedded within the platform that delivers high-performance partnership recommendations and rich analytics in real time. Built on impact.com’s vast commerce dataset – spanning billions of e-commerce transactions – the platform’s AI models gain the scale, diversity, and precision needed to reliably surface predictive insights tied to incremental revenue, lifetime value, and ROI.

This same data advantage fuels impact.com’s new partnership and strategic investment in Evertune, a pioneer in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and AI marketing that helps brands shape how they appear in AI-powered search. Evertune analyzes millions of AI model responses to understand how LLMs interpret, rank, and recommend brands, then provides actionable guidance to improve visibility and performance through its integration with impact.com. Together, these AI capabilities underscore a simple truth that large, high-quality data sets are the foundation of trustworthy, high-impact LLM outputs – and impact.com’s data scale is a critical competitive edge.

Additional notable 2025 impact.com highlights include:

  • Unified its product ecosystem with the launch of base versions of its Creator and Advocate solutions, integrated with its core Performance offering, at no additional cost to customers. This expansion provides customers with a seamless way to manage all partnership types – from creators to affiliates to customer advocates – on a single platform.

Brands can also more easily onboard prospects at scale with our new Prospect Import feature in Open Beta. This feature allows brands to upload lists of prospective partners, checking to see if they are already impact.com publishers, and bringing them into existing workflows.
  • Inside Advocate, brands can drive more referrals with the new Shopify Post-Checkout Widget. This allows Shopify brands to promote their referral program right after checkout, which is one of the most effective moments to drive engagement with the program. impact.com also added features to automatically sync discount codes to Shopify.

SALESmanago Expands Partnership Program to Meet Growing Demand for Zero Party Data-powered Customer Engagement

  • New capabilities empower marketers to craft personalised WhatsApp templates, automate customer experiences with AI, and deploy dynamic CTAs that boost engagement and revenue

SALESmanago, a leading AI Customer Engagement Platform, is expanding its capabilities in the eCommerce engagement market as brands move rapidly toward real-time, AI-driven customer experiences. With enhanced native WhatsApp capabilities and deeper personalisation across multi-channel experiences, the company is entering a year of accelerated development in which marketing and eCommerce will become increasingly integrated and augmented with AI.

WhatsApp is expected to play a central role in that evolution. SALESmanago’s new native integration enables brands to deliver highly personalised multimedia messages and automated and AI driven multi-channel journeys based on real-time customer behaviour and data integrations; with use cases including everything from abandoned carts to restock alerts. By combining SALEmanago’s rich customer profiles with personalised, interactive, and timely experiences, WhatsApp gives marketers the ability to action one of their fastest-growing channels.

AI-led personalisation is also set to intensify across eCommerce shopping journeys. SALESmanago’s Recommendation Frames – now deployable on websites, landing pages, and pop-ups – empower brands to surface the most relevant products exactly when shoppers are making purchase decisions. These improvements have created a more frictionless, conversion-driven experience, laying the groundwork for more adaptive and AI driven onsite personalisation. The development follows the launch of SALESmanago’s Recommendation Architect, a tool for eCommerce marketers that creates hyper-personalised product and content recommendations using AI, rules, and scenarios to boost engagement and revenue.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Lee McCance, Chief Product Officer @ Adverity

“The next wave of customer experience will be defined by intelligence and immediacy,” said Michael McNeal, VP of Product at SALESmanago. “Brands are under pressure to anticipate needs, respond in the moment and deliver experiences that feel consistent whenever and wherever a customer chooses to engage. Our focus for 2026 and beyond is to provide a platform that is more powerful, easier to use, and provides faster time to value; one that is intelligence-led and marketer-driven. This enables marketers to move beyond manually building reactive communications and pre-defined customer journeys – and instead to deliver active, agile experiences that are more aligned, and measurably more impactful.”

SALESmanago’s latest analytics and governance updates reinforce the emphasis on data quality, which is more crucial than ever as brands embrace AI while honouring customer data rights. Enhanced delivery reporting, clearer unsubscribe tracking and greater flexibility in in-app communication options give marketers greater control over audience health at a time when precision targeting is becoming essential.

Marketing Technology News: What is a Full Stack Marketer; What MarTech Matters Most to Full Stack Marketers?

The shift is being guided by the newly appointed CEO, Phil Draper, whose recent arrival from DotDigital marked a strategic push toward more connected customer engagement.

Servicenow And Openai Collaborate To Deepen And Accelerate Enterprise Ai Outcomes

ServiceNow Logo

Multi-year agreement between ServiceNow and OpenAI will enable direct customer access to frontier model capabilities, custom ServiceNow AI solutions, and increased speed and scale with no bespoke development required

OpenAI models will support direct speech-to-speech and native voice technology to break through language barriers and offer more natural interactions

Under the agreement, OpenAI models will be a preferred intelligence capability offered to ServiceNow enterprise customers

ServiceNow , the AI control tower for business reinvention, and OpenAI announced an enhanced strategic collaboration to power agentic AI experiences and accelerate enterprise AI outcomes. The agreement unlocks a deep collaboration between OpenAI technical advisors and ServiceNow engineers that will be equipped with its frontier models, which will give customers direct access to frontier capabilities, custom ServiceNow AI solutions built and aligned to their unique roadmaps, and increased speed and scale with no bespoke development required. ServiceNow will build direct speech-to-speech technology using OpenAI models to break through language barriers and offer more natural interactions. With the latest OpenAI models including GPT-5.2, ServiceNow will unlock a new class of AI-powered automation for the world’s largest companies.

“ServiceNow leads the market in AI-powered workflows, setting the enterprise standard for real-world AI outcomes,” said Amit Zavery, president, chief operating officer, and chief product officer at ServiceNow. “With OpenAI, ServiceNow is building the future of AI experiences: deploying AI that takes end-to-end action in complex enterprise environments. As companies shift from experimenting with AI to deploying it at scale, they need the power of multiple AI leaders working together to deliver faster, better outcomes. Bringing together our respective technologies will drive faster value for customers and more intuitive ways of working with AI.”

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Michael McNeal, VP of Product at SALESmanago

“ServiceNow is helping enterprises bring agentic AI into workflows that are secure, scalable, and designed to deliver measurable outcomes,” said Brad Lightcap, chief operating officer at OpenAI. “With OpenAI frontier models and multimodal capabilities in ServiceNow, enterprises across every industry will benefit from intelligence that handles work end to end in even the most complex environments.”

Co-innovation that drives faster, easier customer adoption

As AI model releases accelerate, large enterprises need help keeping their workflows aligned with the latest innovations. Bringing OpenAI models into the ServiceNow AI Platform complements a customer’s ServiceNow configuration management database (CMDB) while also offering native, embedded access to intelligence to further inform actions that will be taken within workflows. ServiceNow’s AI Control Tower then provides the governance and orchestration layer, giving organizations centralized visibility into how models are applied across workflows, how they interact with enterprise data and systems, and how AI-driven actions are executed at scale in a controlled, auditable way. For example:

  • Real-time speech-to-speech voice agents: With OpenAI, ServiceNow is working toward real-time speech-to-speech AI agents that can listen, reason, and respond naturally without text intermediation. For example, a user can speak in their preferred language and receive an instant response from an AI agent that opens a case, triggers an approval, and orchestrates next steps without translation delay — reducing latency, preserving meaning, and eliminating unnecessary handoffs.
  • Super charging automation: Computer-use models from OpenAI unlock a new class of IT automation for ServiceNow customers by enabling interactions with systems. By turning unstructured documents into actionable data, this capability extends secure, context-aware automation across more environments — enabling autonomous orchestration of workplace tools like email and chat, automation of legacy systems including mainframes, and greater efficiency across complex IT landscapes.

Delivering AI impact on a foundation of proven success

This agreement builds on the long-standing efforts of ServiceNow to offer customers the choice of accessing OpenAI models for:

  • AI assistance that lets employees ask questions in natural language and get clear, actionable answers through speech-to-text capabilities.
  • AI-powered summarization and content generation for incidents, cases, knowledge articles, and service interactions — helping teams resolve issues faster with less manual effort.
  • Developer and admin tools that turn intent into workflows, logic, and automation, dramatically speeding how business processes are built and updated.
  • Intelligent search and discovery that pulls the right information from across enterprise systems exactly when it’s needed.

ServiceNow powers more than 80 billion workflows every year. Together with OpenAI, the company is bringing customers innovative new capabilities that enable even more advanced automation and workflows across industries and across use cases.

BMC, a global leader in software solutions enabling business faster than humanly possible, announced AI innovations updates across its Control-M and BMC AMI portfolios to simplify workflow creation, automate issue resolution, act on expert mainframe knowledge, and more.

New AI capabilities and innovations include:

AI Workflow Creator – Gen AI copilot for guided workflow design 
BMC continues to close the gap between IT and business users, empowering those with business knowledge to build and manage sophisticated workflows using natural language via generative AI.

By shifting automation ownership from IT to business practitioners, organizations can capture domain expertise that is often poorly documented or lost in translation. Business users simply need to express intent, and AI Workflow Creator does the heavy lifting and crafts a workflow to match. This AI-powered workflow orchestration means faster workflow creation onboarding for new users and accelerated productivity for experts—unlocking unprecedented efficiency and operational agility.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Haley Trost, Group Product Marketing Manager @ Braze

Expanded AI Integrations
The Control-M solution includes an extensive library of out-of-the-box integrations, which span enterprise applications, databases, cloud services, RPA platforms, and collaboration tools – with additional integrations being added monthly. Recent additions include AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Crew AI, empowering practitioners to orchestrate multiple AI agents for complex, AI-centric workflows. By orchestrating AI agents with Control-M, teams can accelerate innovation and seamlessly scale their AI initiatives.

Event-Driven Workflows – Real-Time Responsiveness for Smart Operations
As data volumes grow and systems become more event-driven, the ability to turn events into immediate, automated action has become a business imperative.

The Control-M Event Driven Workflows capability allows organizations to respond to business and data events in real time. Control-M can now listen to events from systems such as Kafka, Amazon SQS, and RabbitMQ, and automatically trigger or adjust workflows based on those signals. This enables dynamic, event-aware orchestration that improves agility and reduces latency across modern data and application pipelines.

This capability bridges the gap between batch and real-time processing for instant responsiveness and smarter operations and is available for both Control-M self-hosted and SaaS environments.

Mainframe Expertise On-Demand — Harnessing Intelligence to Mitigate Skills Gaps
As organizations face growing workloads, complexity, and pressure to deliver change faster without disrupting critical systems, leaders need trusted expertise available at the moment of work. The Knowledge Expert Chat capability of BMC AMI Assistant embeds AI-driven guidance across nine BMC AMI development and operations solutions, and is available to licensed customers of those solutions at no additional cost.

By delivering clear, natural-language answers informed by BMC documentation and deep domain knowledge, teams resolve issues faster, reduce knowledge bottlenecks, improve system performance, and maintain service reliability—without switching tools or relying on scarce experts.

Preserving Institutional Knowledge to Strengthen Resilience
Complementing  the Knowledge Expert Chat capability, the Knowledge Hub capability in BMC AMI Assistant addresses a growing skills and knowledge gap as systems become more complex. Currently available in managed beta to qualified customers, the Knowledge Hub capability will enable organizations to surface scattered institutional knowledge, making it available in AI-driven interactions. This helps close skills gaps, reduces dependency on individuals, strengthens operational resilience, and supports more confident modernization decisions.

Turning DevOps Telemetry into Clear Insight for Faster Decisions
BMC AMI zAdviser Development Team Analysis delivers AI-powered application analysis that helps development leaders make faster, more informed decisions. By consolidating DevOps telemetry—including activity metrics, productivity data, and failure patterns—into a unified narrative report for each application, it helps leaders identify stability risks, uncover knowledge concentration, prioritize improvements, and reduce operational exposure without fragmented dashboards.

“As organizations push to move faster while managing increasing complexity, we’re seeing growing demand for AI capabilities that embed intelligence directly into everyday workflows. Rather than standing apart as isolated tools, these AI-driven approaches help teams translate intent into action, contextualize system behavior, and surface relevant expertise at the moment it’s needed,” Steven Dickens, CEO and principal analyst of HyperFRAME Research. “The result is faster decision-making, reduced friction across operations, and more resilient, business-aligned automation across the enterprise.”

“AI is rapidly democratizing access to complex workflows and also supports the continued advancement of the mainframes that power the world’s largest organizations,” said Ram Chakravarti, chief technology officer at BMC. “We’re removing technical barriers by letting people describe what they need in plain language, taking the mystery out of automation and closing the gap between a good idea and a working solution. Our AI innovations for the mainframe help our customers build a resilient and continuously advancing mainframe, and help them advance their digital transformations. All of the new AI innovations announced today leverage the power of AI to unlock value from data and drive business insights.”

Optimove Launches AI Content Decisioning, an OptiGenie Agent, to Create, Test, and Optimize Marketing Messages in Real Time

AI Content Decisioning generates and determines the best content for customers across channels, empowering marketers to be Positionless with unprecedented Creative Power to scale CRM Marketing personalization

Optimove, the creator of Positionless Marketing and the #1 Player Engagement Solution for iGaming and sports betting operators, announces the launch of its newest AI agent: AI Content Decisioning. The agent generates, tests, and optimizes CRM Marketing messages in real time, eliminating the traditional dependency on experts in creative, analytics, or performance insights.

In the GenAI era, generating personalized content is easier than ever. But with infinite permutations now possible, a new challenge has emerged: how to manage, test, and optimize content without spiraling into content chaos that’s overwhelming many marketing teams today. Effectively, the personalization challenge in marketing messaging has shifted from content creation to content decisioning, which is the process of automatically choosing the best piece of content for a specific customer, in a specific moment, on a specific channel.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Liat Barer, Chief Product Officer @ Odeeo

Optimove’s AI Content Decisioning is built to solve this new content chaos challenge. It acts as a decisioning layer that continuously determines the most effective content permutation for every customer, balancing performance optimization with brand integrity, at scale.

  • Branded content generation – Use natural language prompts to create email subject lines, SMS body, and push notification titles. For example, the agent can write variations of email subject lines for a sports betting operator ahead of a weekend NFL slate of games depending on the audience.
  • Real-time optimization – In real time, the best multi-variant content is matched to each individual customer. For example, an online casino can run a marketing campaign with different copy, tone of voice, and offers and learn which audience group prefers which combination while they are live.
  • Insights derived from optimization – As a campaign finishes, Optimove can transparently show the value provided by AI Content Decisioning with the guardrails set by the user. Marketers can access to reports showing the uplift, incrementality, and overall gain from AI Content Decisioning in easy-to-understand dashboards.

“Until now, marketers were not empowered to optimize messages in real-time immediately after creating and testing creative executions. As a result, marketing teams often produce too much content without the proper systems to manage, test, or optimize it across channels, or content chaos,” said Shai Frank, SVP of Product and GM Americas at Optimove.

Marketing Technology News: What Marketers Need to Know About the European Accessibility Act

“AI Content Decisioning is the latest agent in our expansive AI decisioning offering that has powered CRM Marketing personalization for over 12 years. Its ability to create, test, and optimize marketing messages in real time has quickly become a difference maker for operators worldwide. This new release underscores our commitment to bringing groundbreaking AI agents to iGaming marketing, and we are excited for what is to come,” he concluded.

AI Content Decisioning is an integral piece of Optimove’s OptiGenie AI Decisioning Suite which leverages unified customer data to inform:

  • Audience Decisioning – Identifying the best audience for each business objective
  • Journey Decisioning – Determining the right campaign and journey for each player
  • Offer Decisioning – Selecting the most relevant promotion and channel for them
  • Content Decisioning – Matching the most resonate content for each player

Its release comes on the heels of Optimove being ranked #1 by Gartner for Foundational AI & Analytics and Prescriptive Intelligence in the recent 2025 Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Marketing Hubs.

NiCE Cognigy Unveils Simulator, an AI Performance Lab to Enable Enterprise-Scale Evaluation of Production-Grade AI Agents

Customer Experience (CX) AI Platform

New simulation layer allows enterprises to run large-scale agent evaluations, providing insights & evidence to safely deploy, test, and continuously improve enterprise-grade AI Agents.

NiCE announced the launch of Cognigy Simulator, an AI performance lab providing enterprises with the confidence, evidence, and speed they need to safely evaluate, test, deploy and scale AI Agents across their customer experience operations.

In the age of AI systems, agent testing isn’t merely a phase of the development process; it’s part of a continuous feedback loop. Designed for this new reality, Simulator provides an expansive simulation layer that uncovers opportunities, exposes blind spots, and strengthens AI Agents before they reach production, while also enabling continuous refinement as they operate and learn in the real world.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Michael McNeal, VP of Product at SALESmanago

“AI Agents have become a catalyst for transforming customer experience operations,” said Philipp Heltewig, General Manager, NiCE Cognigy and Chief AI Officer. “Simulator provides data-informed testing and reporting to help organizations understand AI Agent performance and compliance alignment, so organizations can make deployment decisions with confidence.”

Simulator mirrors real audiences through digital twins that capture customer demographics, language, and intent variance. Within minutes, enterprises can spawn synthetic customers engaging simultaneously in thousands of realistic, adversarial, and edge-case interactions, revealing how customers react, not how scripts imagine they will.

This allows organizations to rigorously rehearse, evaluate, and harden AI Agents before they are exposed to real-world interactions.

Marketing Technology News: Complexity as a Cost Center: The Hidden Financial Burden of Fragmented Martech Stacks

Every simulation run is scored against success criteria such as task completion, guardrail adherence, integration reliability, and experience quality. Simulator doesn’t just show that an AI Agent “works”; it provides evidence that it meets business expectations and supports compliance efforts.

“AI-driven customer service is already entering a phase where ongoing evaluation and refinement are essential,” added Heltewig. “Simulator integrates continuous testing directly into CX operations, ensuring AI Agents are routinely exercised, measured, and improved across build, deploy, and optimization cycles.”

Key Benefits of Simulator:

  • Scalable Testing: Run large-scale agent evaluations with thousands of synthetic conversations via on-demand, scheduled, or automated regression tests to validate Agentic AI interaction handling.
  • Automated Scenario Generation: Accelerate QA by auto-building scenarios with personas, missions, and success criteria from existing AI Agents or transcripts.
  • Quantitative Evaluation: Score every simulation run on task completion, guardrail adherence, integration reliability, experience quality, and other success criteria.
  • Targeted Improvements: Pinpoint where prompts, flows, or policies need refinement with immediate and deep insights into agent performance and failed conversations.
  • Safe Integration Simulation: Harden mission-critical integrations by emulating the full range of third-party API responses, from clean paths to rare error conditions.
  • A/B & Variant Comparison: Optimize outcomes by comparing prompt strategies, guardrails, fulfillment logic, or foundation models to identify top performers.

Dallas Agency Launches AI-First Web Design Framework for Local Businesses

Logo of Bless Web Designs

Bless Web Designs introduces Neuro-Responsive Framework™ achieving 73-91% AI recommendation rates, helping Dallas businesses dominate ChatGPT and Google AI

Bless Web Designs, a Dallas-based web design agency with 14 years of experience and an A+ BBB rating, announced the launch of The Neuro-Responsive Framework™, the industry’s first proprietary AI-optimized web design methodology engineered specifically for AI-powered search engines and cognitive optimization.

As traditional search evolves into AI-driven answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, businesses face a critical challenge: websites optimized for 2015 SEO strategies are becoming functionally invisible to 2026 AI algorithms. The Neuro-Responsive Framework™ addresses this paradigm shift by combining cognitive psychology, behavioral data science, and advanced algorithmic optimization to create websites that achieve 73-91% AI recommendation rates compared to the 12-23% industry average.

We generated $847K in revenue from AI-referred customers in 6 months. The behavioral prediction identifies emergency callers versus shoppers instantly, letting us prioritize high-value leads.”

— Robert Hayes, Owner, Hayes Plumbing & HVAC Services

The Three-Dimensional Approach to Modern Web Performance

Unlike traditional web design agencies that treat aesthetics, user experience, and SEO as separate disciplines, The Neuro-Responsive Framework™ recognizes these elements as interdependent variables in a unified system optimized across three core dimensions:

Human Cognitive Processing – Architecture based on established psychological principles including Miller’s Law and Hick’s Law, creating information hierarchy that matches how brains absorb visual information in the critical 50-millisecond first impression window identified by MIT’s Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department.

Behavioral Intent Signals – Real-time analytics tracking 23 behavioral micro-signals including scroll depth, cursor movement, and pause duration to predict user intent and adapt website experiences dynamically, improving conversion rates by 40-78%.

Algorithmic Authority Recognition – Websites structured as machine-readable Knowledge Graphs using nested multi-type Schema.org implementation, ensuring AI engines understand, trust, and recommend businesses through entity-relationship analysis rather than outdated keyword density metrics.

Four Pillars Delivering Measurable Business Results

The framework operates through four interconnected pillars: Cognitive Load Engineering reduces mental processing friction using F-pattern optimization and Gestalt principles; Behavioral Prediction Modeling uses heatmap analysis and micro-conversion tracking to serve each user segment exactly what their behavioral pattern indicates they need; Algorithmic Authority Architecture deploys hierarchical schema structures creating entity-relationship density that AI models interpret as deterministic expertise; and Emotional Resonance Engineering leverages color psychology and neuro-linguistic patterns to create subconscious brand connections.

“The Neuro-Responsive Framework implementation transformed our entire patient acquisition strategy,” said Dr. Michael Chen, Owner of North Dallas Family Medicine. “Within 90 days, we saw a 287% increase in online appointment requests, and now 91% of AI platforms recommend us when patients search for ‘best family doctor near me.’ The cognitive optimization made our complex medical information instantly understandable, and the behavioral prediction accurately identified which visitors needed immediate care versus educational resources.”

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Lee McCance, Chief Product Officer @ Adverity

Proven Performance Across Dallas Industries

Early framework implementations demonstrate significant market impact. A Dallas medical practice achieved 287% increase in patient acquisition with 91% AI recommendation rates within 90 days. A local HVAC company generated $1.2M in trackable revenue from AI-referred traffic over 12 months, capturing 73% of ChatGPT recommendations for emergency HVAC services in Dallas. These results stem from the framework’s ability to create websites that feel instinctively right to human visitors while signaling unambiguous expertise to machine learning models.

The 60-day implementation process begins with a comprehensive Neuro-Audit establishing competitor vector analysis, cognitive load scoring, behavioral baseline measurement, and AI visibility assessment across eight major platforms. Strategic architecture phase structures websites as predictive behavioral machines with separate user journey blueprints for high-intent versus research-phase visitors. Development deploys bespoke visual systems applying color psychology and typography hierarchy on AWS cloud-native infrastructure. Final AI training phase includes active submission to ChatGPT Browse and Perplexity with continuous behavioral testing and sentiment monitoring.

Investment Structure and Performance Guarantee

Framework implementation ranges from $12,500 to $28,500 depending on complexity, including complete four-pillar deployment, 60-day optimization period, quarterly behavioral audits for year one, priority AWS infrastructure management, and lifetime framework updates as AI platforms evolve.

Bless Web Designs backs the methodology with an unconditional 100% money-back guarantee: if websites don’t demonstrate measurable improvements in cognitive engagement metrics including session duration, pages per session, and form completion rates within 90 days, clients receive full refunds while retaining their websites. This guarantee is structured in service level agreements and encoded in website schema as legal commitment rather than marketing claim.

Marketing Technology News: What is a Full Stack Marketer; What MarTech Matters Most to Full Stack Marketers?

“We’re not just designing websites anymore—we’re engineering digital assets that understand human psychology and speak fluent AI,” said Nibin Varghese, Creative Director of Bless Web Designs. “Dallas businesses investing in traditional web design today are essentially invisible to the AI platforms their customers increasingly rely on for recommendations. The Neuro-Responsive Framework solves this visibility crisis while simultaneously optimizing for human cognitive processing.”

The framework addresses the fundamental reality that generative AI engines evaluate websites through entity-relationship extraction and semantic vector analysis, not keyword density. Sites optimized exclusively for traditional SEO create what the agency terms “The AI Comprehension Gap”—structurally sound to human eyes but algorithmically incomprehensible to AI recommendation systems.

Bless Web Designs offers complimentary 30-minute Neuro-Discovery consultations reviewing current cognitive load scores, identifying algorithmic visibility gaps, demonstrating competitor AI positioning, and providing preliminary implementation roadmaps.

Automation Anywhere, the leading provider of Agentic Process Automation (APA) and agentic solutions, announced a new generation of AI-native agentic solutions developed in collaboration with OpenAI, designed to help enterprises achieve faster time-to-value and more autonomous operations.

The collaboration brings together Automation Anywhere’s Process Reasoning Engine (PRE) — which determines what enterprise action should happen next and securely orchestrates work across systems — with OpenAI advanced reasoning models. Together, they enable a full reasoning-to-action loop: OpenAI models for reasoning and interpretation, and PRE for governed execution inside enterprise environments.

“Traditional solutions automate work by following rigid steps, much like humans would, which often makes them brittle when things change,” said Mihir Shukla, CEO and Chairman of Automation Anywhere. “Our agentic solutions are fundamentally different; they’re designed for how AI agents work, enabling them to autonomously reason, solve problems, and adapt to changes — delivering exponentially greater ROI. With our Process Reasoning Engine and OpenAI’s reasoning models, we’re building agentic solutions that offer capabilities truly unlike anything in the market – it’s a true game changer.”

Automation Anywhere’s new agentic solutions are designed to move beyond traditional automation by providing customers with a fast on-ramp to agentic operations — pre-built, deeply contextual, and deployable in weeks rather than months.

“Automation Anywhere is showing what’s next, AI that goes beyond automating tasks to redefining how work actually happens,” said Giancarlo “GC” Lionetti, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenAI. “Together, we’re embedding intelligence directly into core workflows so enterprises can move faster, work smarter, and drive meaningful outcomes.”

Automation Anywhere’s growing portfolio of agentic solutions are built on a consistent agentic architecture that integrates reasoning, enterprise context, human-in-the-loop controls, and orchestrated action. The solutions target high-value business processes across finance, HR, IT, and customer service, enabling organizations to deploy production-ready capabilities while retaining flexibility to tailor and extend them without code.

“Most agentic initiatives fail because they’re either too autonomous or too constrained,” said Dustin Snell, SVP of Agentic Solutions at Automation Anywhere. “What’s different here is that we deliberately blend agentic reasoning, deterministic execution, and human judgment into a single, governed flow. That balance is what turns promising AI experiments into reliable production outcomes for the enterprise.”
