Published

on

Fremantle, Allen Media Group and Spanglish Movies, among others to join forces for addressing audience fragmentation through cross-publisher data collaboration.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ElementalTV, a leading innovator in CTV advertising technology, today announces the launch of the 1Audience Alliance (1AA), a collaborative framework designed to tackle the shared challenges of CTV publishers: achieving scale, unifying fragmented data, and strengthening buyer engagement. By aligning publishers around inventory, data, and marketing, 1AA fosters a commercially driven ecosystem that maximizes revenue and enhances audience insights, while ensuring transparency and control.

1Audience Alliance is a collaborative framework designed to tackle the shared challenges of CTV publishers.

The Power of Collaboration
At the heart of the 1Audience Alliance are three core pillars that redefine how CTV publishers scale their inventory, enhance their audience intelligence, and elevate their visibility:

Inventory Collaboration: 1AA turns fragmented viewership across publishers into cohesive, high-value audience pools. This ensures that advertisers gain the reach they demand while publishers maintain transparency and control over their inventory and revenue streams.Data Collaboration: By enabling secure, privacy-compliant data sharing, 1AA allows publishers to combine anonymized data sets for enriched segmentation and modeling. This cross-publisher intelligence unlocks new audience opportunities, equipping publishers to better understand their own viewers and align with advertiser goals.Marketing Collaboration: To amplify publisher visibility, 1AA offers joint marketing campaigns, agency spotlights, and exclusive opportunities at industry events. These initiatives position members as leaders in the competitive CTV landscape, connecting them directly with key buyers.

1Audience Alliance launches with the participation of notable publishers, including Fremantle, Allen Media Group, Spanglish Movies, ODK, NewID, Frndly TV, Zeam, Scripps, Hearst Television, and Global Fashion Channel amongst others. Representing a diverse array of content – from global entertainment hits to culturally relevant programming for multicultural and international audiences – these publishers bring significant scale, data richness, and audience depth to the 1AA framework. Together, they demonstrate the power of collaboration in creating new opportunities for advertisers and elevating the role of independent publishers in the CTV landscape.

Omer Latif, CEO of ElementalTV, emphasized the significance of the 1Audience Alliance:
“The challenges of fragmentation in CTV require bold solutions. By giving publishers the tools they need to compete and thrive in this rapidly evolving landscape, we’re solving shared challenges around scale and fragmentation. And 1Audience Alliance is more than a framework designed to tackle that – it’s a movement heralding a truly collaborative and transparent future. When publishers unite, advertisers win, and the ecosystem as a whole becomes stronger.”

The launch of 1AA comes at a critical time for the CTV industry, as walled gardens continue to dominate, limiting collaboration and transparency. By creating a publisher-direct framework that prioritizes data sharing, audience unification, and joint marketing efforts, the 1Audience Alliance offers a viable alternative that benefits publishers of all sizes. With a focus on collaboration over competition, the 1Audience Alliance positions its members to not only monetize their inventory more effectively but also deliver the scale, precision, and transparency that advertisers require to drive campaign success.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Workato®, the leading Control and Execution Platform for Enterprise AI, today announced the launch of a new self-service offering that gives customers, developers, and students across Asia access to the Workato platform to govern and scale their AI initiatives, including building and productionizing AI agents and MCP servers.

Making AI accessible has been at the heart of Workato’s mission the past several years. Through the AI Institute Alliance, unveiled in September 2025, Workato partnered with leading institutes of higher learning across Singapore, including Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the Singapore University of Social Sciences, and the National University of Singapore. The initiative equipped students and educators with automation and AI skills.

The AI Lab, which opened a year later, extended that commitment further into the public sector through its partnership with EDB, and into inclusive hiring through SG Enable.

The newly launched self-serve platform will provide users access to:

A free account to start building immediately, with the option to upgrade to a paid plan, no contract required, as projects growThe ability to build recipes, Agents/Genies, and MCP servers directly on the platformThe same governed, enterprise-grade engine that powers Workato’s largest deploymentsA path built for independent developers, students, and small teams, as well as large enterprises

Since launching in 2026 in North America, Workato has seen rapid growth in the builder community. The platform is enterprise grade, but free to get started. As builders solve problems for their business, they can grow by upgrading to a paid plan. With this launch in Singapore, Workato is making an investment in the local builder community.

“The next era of AI won’t be defined by who has access to intelligence, but by who can turn it into action. We’re putting the same enterprise-grade power trusted by the world’s largest companies into the hands of every builder. We want everyone to be able to transform how their business operates,” said Rishi Mallik, Chief Growth Officer, Workato.

Blackpanda and CyberCube Collaborate to Bring Cyber Risk Analytics to Brokers Across Asia

Published

By

Blackpanda will refer brokers to CyberCube’s Broking Manager and license the platform across its regional network, backed by local incident response support for brokers’ clients.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blackpanda, Asia’s leading cyber incident response company, today confirmed a collaboration with CyberCube to bring cyber risk analytics to brokers across Asia. The collaboration pairs CyberCube’s Broking Manager platform with Blackpanda’s incident response presence in the region. Brokers gain the analysis to advise clients on cyber cover, and their clients gain a local team to call when a cyber incident happens.

Brokers in Asia can request an introduction to Broking Manager through Blackpanda.

Cyber risk models used across Asia have typically been benchmarked against a single global average. Broking Manager, CyberCube’s cyber risk analytics platform for brokers used across 40 countries, includes an APAC regional view alongside its loss severity, incident frequency, and security posture benchmarks. As a result, peer comparisons reflect the markets that brokers’ clients actually operate in.

The collaboration has four strands:

Refer: Blackpanda will introduce brokers across Asia to Broking Manager.License: Blackpanda will license Broking Manager for use with its own broker relationships.Respond: Blackpanda’s incident response team is available to support brokers’ clients during live cyber incidents.Research: CyberCube has licensed Blackpanda’s aggregated, anonymised incident data for future regional research.

“Clients are asking their brokers harder questions about cyber exposure and how much cover is enough,” said Gene Yu, Founder and CEO of Blackpanda. “Broking Manager gives brokers a structured way to answer them: the financial-loss analytics and peer-benchmarking insights they need to prepare for client conversations. When an incident happens, their clients can call on our responders, recognised by Frost & Sullivan as Asia-Pacific’s incident response Company of the Year for three years running. Keeping advice and response this close together serves everyone in that conversation.”

Nate Brink, Head of Broker Sales & Account Management at CyberCube, said: “Brokers across Asia have told us for years that a single global benchmark doesn’t reflect what they’re actually seeing in the market. This partnership brings Broking Manager’s regional benchmarking to brokers across Asia, backed by Blackpanda’s reach and incident response expertise in the region, so they can have a more grounded conversation with their clients about exposure and coverage.”

Further detail on Broking Manager’s capabilities is available for viewing here.

About Blackpanda
Blackpanda is Asia’s leading cyber incident response company, delivering digital emergency response across three integrated channels: IR consulting, IR-1 assurance subscriptions, and Lloyd’s of London-underwritten cyber insurance. Each is purpose-built for a different buyer, whether enterprise, mass market, or sophisticated risk-transfer clients, and each stands alone as full incident response. Together, these channels reach the entire commercial market, because our mission is to provide digital emergency response for everyone. Buy all three and they combine into the complete post-attack recovery solution: preparation in advance, response the moment you’re hit, and financial recovery paid for by insurance. One local team to help you get ready, respond, and recover.
