Wonderful Pistachios is making a different kind of sports bet this season. Instead of asking one athlete to carry the whole campaign, the snack brand is building a seven-person college roster designed to keep producing content across the entire academic year. The brand has launched its first multi-athlete NIL program, the “Don’t Hold Back All-Stars,”…

For families who know Bluey through make-believe games, sibling chaos and small everyday adventures, the appeal has always been bigger than a single episode.

OpenAI is testing a ChatGPT ad format that opens a branded AI conversation instead of sending a user to an advertiser’s website.

Instead of publishing its Humanist AI Code of Conduct as a polished final statement, it published a draft, invited six weeks of public criticism, named questions it still thinks are unresolved, and promised to explain what changed afterward. That makes the format…

Liverpool FC is leaning into the “football club as lifestyle brand” era, where supporters want pieces they can wear to work, dinner, or travel, not just matchday kits.
