LONDON, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Inspired Thinking Group (ITG)’s Storyteq marketing platform has been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Asset Management for the third year in a row.

Storyteq’s sustained recognition follows the rapid enterprise adoption of its advanced Halo Intelligence® capabilities, with the platform recommending the best and most relevant marketing assets for every target audience and scenario.

Another popular Storyteq innovation is AgentConsole™, enabling brands to unify and control every AI agent in a single, robustly governed system. With AgentConsole™, organizations can rapidly deploy AI agents within a governed environment, enabling powerful content operations and orchestrating end-to-end workflows at scale.

“The reason Storyteq is outstripping legacy platforms is down to how we treat artificial intelligence,” says Andrew Swinand, ITG CEO. “While many companies approach AI as a series of disconnected features, we have engineered a completely unified, agentic content operating system. Storyteq makes AI part of how work gets done every day.

“I believe this is reflected in once again being named a Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ Leader in the highly competitive DAM space, and the credit goes to our teams for their outstanding work and unwavering commitment to innovation.”

Through AgentConsole™, Storyteq deploys coordinated, brand-safe teams of agents that handle everything from compliance checking and workflow orchestration to real-time visual verification of brand guidelines.

And when combined with Halo Intelligence, the platform actively tells the marketer which assets are working, why they are working, and how to dynamically adapt them to drive immediate ROI across every channel.

“We are not just building a DAM to help people create and find content faster,” adds Swinand, “We are delivering an open, AI-agnostic infrastructure that governs the entire content lifecycle.”

Earlier this year, Storyteq was also recognized as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Content Marketing Platforms (CMP), positioned higher than any other platform on the Ability to Execute axis. It was the fourth consecutive year that Storyteq was placed as a CMP Leader.

Both Storyteq DAM and Storyteq CMP are built on the same core architecture, so organizations who license both enjoy a seamless single-platform experience that unifies governance and creative activity from upstream strategy and workflows to asset management and deployment.

According to ITG Chief Strategy Officer John Kirk, “Governance remains a blocker for organizations implementing AI solutions. Legacy platforms simply cannot contain the risk, but Storyteq is designed to act as a central coordinator, instantly checking every automated action against locked brand rules while tracking the entire asset history in a secure, unalterable log.

“We are giving global enterprises the infrastructure to scale content automation rapidly without losing brand or regulatory control.”

A core Storyteq capability remains its endless configurability and scalability, enabling it to offer worldwide enterprise support by meeting the unique needs of every business, no matter how many users, brands, and markets it has.

Developed to connect and work seamlessly with adjacent platforms, Storyteq DAM unifies all global enterprise activity and corporate data into a single source of truth.

Recognition marks seventh consecutive quarter Achieve has ranked among the nation’s top lenders for customer satisfaction

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Achieve, the fintech for everyday Americans, has been named one of the Top 3 lenders in personal loan customer satisfaction by LendingTree for the third quarter of 2026. This distinction from one of the nation’s largest online personal finance marketplaces underscores Achieve’s commitment to delivering transparent, supportive, and human-centered financial services.

This marks the seventh consecutive LendingTree customer service award that Achieve has earned, following a top-three ranking in the second quarter of 2026. The quarterly ranking is published by LendingTree, based on verified customer reviews and other data evaluating lenders on transparency, ease of the application process and the quality of customer service. Achieve consistently maintains high ratings for providing consumers with a clear path toward improving their financial health.

“For someone consolidating debt, a personal loan is more than a transaction. It’s an opportunity to improve their finances and move forward with greater confidence,” said Achieve President of Lending Kyle Enright. “Our team helps members understand their options and find the solution that fits their goals by pairing competitive fixed rates with personal guidance. Earning this recognition for a seventh consecutive quarter reflects the care our teammates bring to those conversations and the trust our members place in us.”

This initiative, supported by advanced underwriting and enhanced with FICO® Score 10 T data, maintains access to fixed-rate loans for an expanded set of consumers, with an expected improvement in credit performance. These loans are originated by a bank partner via the Achieve Personal Loans platform.

Key highlights of the Achieve Personal Loan experience:

Competitive, fixed rates: APRs now start as low as 6.25% for qualified borrowers, providing a more affordable alternative to high-interest credit card debt.Rapid funding: Qualified members can have funds sent in as little as 24 hours to address immediate financial needs.Flexible terms: Borrowers can choose repayment schedules ranging from 2, 3, 4 and 5 years to align with their specific budget and goals.Transparent pricing: All loans feature fixed monthly payments and a clear payoff date, with no hidden fees or revolving balances.

His perspective reflects the campaign’s broader mission to normalize mental health care as an essential part of everyday health and encourage men to prioritize their well-being before they reach a point of crisis.

The campaign was made possible through the participation and support of Vibrant Emotional Health, Financial Therapy Association, NOCD, Spear Center, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy, American Association of Kidney Patients, Crisis Text Line, YMCA, One Mind at Work, The Hidden Opponent, Kevin Love Fund, American College of Sports Medicine, Whitman-Walker, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Mark Hyman, Yung Pueblo, Kevin Love, Howie Mandel and Jake Shane.
