Day 2 – 6.17.25

Live from Cannes: we’ve announced an exciting evolution in our partnership with Hootsuite, aimed at redefining how brands leverage AI for social and media intelligence.
Together we’re delivering end-to-end intelligence across earned and social platforms, now with enhanced journalist and outlet profiles, verified handles and audience insights.
Our Founder and Global CEO, Aaron Kwittken, shared: “This isn’t just a tech integration, it’s a strategic move to bolster and co-promote what’s arguably already the most comprehensive, AI-driven predictive media intelligence solution on the market.”
Irina Novoselsky, CEO of Hootsuite added: “This sets the stage for our continued expansion. Together, we’re helping clients unlock deeper insights and move from data to action faster than ever before.”
And that’s just the beginning! Ready to hear more about how data can affect better performance? Catch Aaron and Irina live on the SPORT BEACH main stage tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. CET for Human 2.0: Upgrading Performance in the Age of Biometrics and Intelligent Tech.
