FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — To celebrate football’s biggest game, Hyundai went offline to conquer the weekend in the all-new Santa Fe SUV and handed its Instagram account over to 22 other brands including, Weber Grills, the Los Angeles Rams, the Houston Texans, Mint Mobile and more.

 

As part of its marketing campaign for the 2024 Santa Fe, Hyundai partnered with brands to create over 100 pieces of content showcasing the importance of conquering the weekend in ways that were relevant to the brand and included highlights of the Santa Fe’s key features.

“When looking for ways to make a splash during football’s biggest game, we wanted to take a unique approach to reaching our customers where they are during the big game, outside just another advertisement in a very crowded field – and this Instagram takeover was the perfect opportunity,” said Angela Zepeda, chief marketing officer, Hyundai Motor America. ”Thanks to all the brands who partnered with us to celebrate the joy of conquering the weekend in the Santa Fe.”

Over the two-day period, the campaign resulted in: 

22 participating brands across a wide spectrum of services and sectors+100 pieces of content over a 2-day period30M Reel plays31.4M post impressions19.1M accounts reached59.8K post engagements (a 862% increase compared to the previous two days)42.8K accounts engaged (a 665% increase compared to the previous two days)

“This proved to be an extremely rewarding weekend for the 22 brands that joined in the fun and took over Hyundai’s Insta channel. From idea to execution, the incredible wave of content and collaboration with dozens of brands happened in a matter of days and serves as a good reminder that you don’t need to be on the broadcast to get a big brand lift,” said Jason Sperling, Chief Creative Officer for INNOCEAN.

The Big Hyundai Handoff participating brands include: Adobe, Bestfriends.org, Booking.com, Boys & Girls Clubs, Drumstick, El Patio Foods, Heal the Bay, Houston Texans, Igloo, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, LA Rams, Michael’s, Mint Mobile, Optimist Drinks, Opendoor, Planet Fitness, Red Lobster, Super73 Electric Motorbikes, SUPLMNT, Wienerschnitzel, Weber Grills, ZOA Energy.

The Instagram takeover is part of Hyundai’s ongoing marketing campaign for the 2024 Santa Fe that launched with a 60-second Viking-themed broadcast commercial during football’s championship games on Jan. 28. The ad – which features the iconic song “Barracuda” by Heart – showcased the completely redesigned Santa Fe, with its technology capabilities and rugged features like all-wheel drive and all-terrain tires. The ads during championship weekend resulted in reaching 110M+ viewers across the two games. Hyundai also purchased regional buys for the Viking-themed ad during and around the big game in target markets.

The 60- and 30-second ads will continue to run throughout the year during various sporting events and across multiple broadcast, radio and digital media platforms.  

There will also be a series of 15-second ads as part of the campaign that specifically highlight new features of the Santa Fe including, all-wheel drive, dual wireless charging, panoramic display, third-row seating, tailgate, towing capabilities and the XRT trim, specifically. This content and more will also extend across Hyundai’s social media channels such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

The Santa Fe marketing campaign was developed in collaboration with Hyundai’s agency of record, INNOCEAN USA, while its media agency, Canvas, coordinated the media buys.

Genedata Expands AI Discovery Workflows with NVIDIA BioNeMo Open Models, Including the New RFD4-Proteina Release

Published

Bringing next-generation binder design models into production discovery

BASEL, Switzerland, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Genedata, a Danaher company, and the leading provider of enterprise software solutions for biopharmaceutical R&D, today announced the addition of the new RFD4-Proteina binder design model into Genedata’s AI-enabled discovery workflows, following the model’s introduction at NVIDIA GTC Berlin. As an early ecosystem partner, Genedata is among the first companies to make RFD4-Proteina available within its production discovery workflows. By connecting AI-generated molecular designs, scientific data, and laboratory results, Genedata helps researchers transform AI predictions into continuous learning cycles that accelerate biologics discovery.

The workflow begins with scientists defining target characteristics and required properties using Genedata’s AI co-scientist. NVIDIA’s open protein design models then generate and evaluate candidate binders within Genedata. As candidates move into laboratory testing, results are captured and linked back to the original designs, helping scientists refine and rank the next round.

“Advances in AI are creating unprecedented opportunities for protein and antibody discovery, but unlocking their full value requires more than access to powerful models alone,” said Othmar Pfannes, Ph.D., President of Genedata. “Researchers need a way to connect molecular design, experimental execution, and scientific data into a continuous learning process. Genedata serves as the digital backbone that brings these elements together, helping scientists evaluate more candidates before testing, preserve the scientific context behind each outcome, and build knowledge from one discovery cycle to the next.”

While advances in generative AI are rapidly expanding what scientists can design, many organizations still struggle to operationalize these models within production scientific research workflows. Genedata provides the orchestration, governance, and scientific data foundation needed to deploy NVIDIA BioNeMo open models, including RFD4-Proteina, directly within the discovery workflows scientists use every day. Researchers can apply AI-generated designs within established processes while maintaining lineage, traceability, and scientific context across the discovery lifecycle.

Within Danaher’s autonomous laboratory initiative, these capabilities connect AI, automation, and scientific data in a closed-loop discovery framework where each experimental outcome informs the next design cycle, creating a continuous learn-and-improve process that advances science while keeping scientists in control.

About Genedata
Genedata, a Danaher company and the leading provider of enterprise software solutions for biopharma R&D, transforms biopharma data into intelligence. Our innovative solutions combine deep science, technology, and AI domain knowledge.
