There has been very little news released from AIAD since the April 11, 2023 announcement of the Securities Purchase Agreement with Tim Dunn's Hexagon Partners Investment Company and the addition of Brad Parscale more directly positioned back in the fold as well as Tom Hicks & James Renacci being added to the Board. It's understandable there would be some major redirection taking place as a result.
Shortly after the announcement Kevin Myers, AIAD Chief Product and Marketing Officer and Derrick Mains, CEO of the Process Fixer collaborated on the 4-part Realm Of Possibilities Podcast that were conducted back in June/July of 2023. In the 3rd episode about 8 minutes in Kevin and Derrick are discussing the role of CMO's and Kevin makes the reference of just being entrusted with 10M dollars and 100,000 of it going towards the building of awareness. I couldn't tell if he was talking hypothetically in regard of CMO's in general or if it was more directly related to his new responsibilities under the new regime. I thought the 10M figure was telling since the SPA with Hexagon Partners is an initial investment of 5M with the option of 2-tranches totaling 4,250,000.
AIAD has also recently partnered with the Marketing Artificial Intelligence Institute (end of October 2023) in putting together a white paper publication entitled "AI for Advertising Blueprint." The blueprint provides a comprehensive overview of how brands and advertisers can leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize ad campaigns, save budget, and boost results. Anyone registering to receive a copy of the publication via the website would have had a follow-up by E-mail from a representative of the AIAD sales team. In my personal case it was a gentleman named Ben Fichtenbaum. His LinkedIn page lists him as an Omnichannel Marketing, Brand & Product Strategist and advisor with AIAD since August of 2023. In his E-mail to me it listed him as the Director of Sales with AIAD.
I was also noticing on Kevin Myers Twitter page he posted the following on December 9, 2023: "And we have to create a proposal for Grimaldi’s for “platform only” with ala Carte media buying and creative services and influencer marketing."
I thought I'd also mention a connection that could be considered relative to Jerry Hug's Twitter message he posted awhile back regarding TBN "Trinity Broadcasting Network." Jerry Hug mentioned them being a significant client and shortly after it appeared, it was removed. The interrelation I find interesting centers around the same time frame when the SPA was agreed upon (April 2023). During that time AIAD's Chris Lynde, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Execution became affiliated as referenced via his LinkedIn page as the Trinity Broadcasting Network--SVP, General Manager - Trilogy Analytics--(Building the audience graph and technology platform that will power the next 50 years of TBN's dominance as the world’s largest and most-watched faith and family broadcaster. With more than 30 global networks and streaming platforms, TBN reaches more than 175 nations with inspirational programming 24 hours a day in 17 languages.) Coincidence?

Just bits and pieces I've been able to scrounge. Thought I'd share. Will any of this lead to additional revenue gain? 2024 should tell the tale.
