Active International, a global media and corporate trade company, has adopted Comcast AdFusion to modernize and scale broadcast advertising operations across its $1billion+ media footprint

With AdFusion’s unified workflow automation, Active International reports faster turnaround and fewer station reach-outs, cutting down the time for complex broadcast traffic workflows

DENVER, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today at the Cannes Lions International Festival, Comcast Technology Solutions (CTS) announced that Active International, the global media and corporate trade leader, has leveraged Comcast AdFusion to modernize and scale its broadcast ad traffic and creative distribution operations.

As advertising operations become increasingly fragmented, time-sensitive, and data-driven, agencies and media organizations are investing more heavily in automation, operational intelligence, and scalable workflow infrastructure to improve efficiency, delivery precision, and campaign execution across channels.

AdFusion combines media buy data, traffic instructions, creative assets, and metadata management into a single platform designed to simplify and accelerate advertising operations across broadcast and digital channels. By automating workflows and improving operational visibility, AdFusion helps agencies, brands, and media organizations reduce complexity while improving speed, accuracy, and scale. In fact, with the help of AdFusion, Active International was able to create and deliver more than 9,000 unique traffic instructions in a single week; and create and deliver more than 450,000 annualized traffic instructions and deliver over half a million creative assets nationwide.

Active International places more than $1 billion in media annually on behalf of brands and agencies worldwide. As advertiser demand, operational complexity, and cross-platform campaign execution continue to increase, the company adopted AdFusion to unify traffic instruction creation, creative asset management, and delivery operations within a connected workflow environment.

With AdFusion, Active International is able to automate and accelerate complex broadcast traffic operations while improving visibility, delivery precision, and operational scalability. The platform centralizes media buy data, traffic instructions, creative assets, and distribution workflows into a unified system designed to reduce manual effort and support high-volume advertising execution.

“AdFusion is helping us manage the realities of high-volume advertising operations while giving our teams greater visibility, control, and efficiency,” said Melissa Moschetti, Executive Managing Director, Media, Active International. “The platform has significantly streamlined workflows and reduced manual processes, allowing our teams to move faster, operate more efficiently, and stay focused on delivering smarter solutions for our clients and partners as the business continues to evolve.”

The AdFusion implementation reflects Active International’s continued investment in automation, operational modernization, and scalable media infrastructure that supports both its teams and partners across an evolving advertising marketplace. As media operations become increasingly complex and campaign timelines continue to compress, Active International is investing in technology, AI, and workflow automation that help improve efficiency, scalability, and execution across its media business.

“Active International operates at an impressive scale, and they needed a platform capable of addressing operational complexity while delivering the reliability required for today’s advertising marketplace,” said Bart Spriester, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Streaming, Broadcast, and Advertising at Comcast Technology Solutions. “We’re very proud that AdFusion is able to provide their team with an intelligent workflow designed to reduce manual effort, increase visibility, and improve delivery precision across the advertising lifecycle.”

Members can securely bring their Function health data into Muse to better understand their health and personalize their AI experience.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Function today announced that members can securely connect their Function health data to Muse, Meta’s new personal AI agent. Muse joins ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity in Function’s growing network of AI connectors, giving members the ability to bring their personal health data into the AI experiences they choose to use.

Muse can use a member’s Function insights as personal context to help them understand their health, build and adapt plans around their goals, track progress, and follow through over time, while members remain in control of their data.

“Your AI should know your biology,” said Jonathan Swerdlin, CEO and Co-founder of Function. “By connecting Function health data to Muse, people can bring a living picture of their health into the AI platforms they use every day. We are entering a world where people understand their bodies in far greater detail and increasingly rely on AI to make decisions. Bringing those together makes AI dramatically more useful.”

How it works

Members authorize the connection from inside Meta, through the same account controls they already use to manage their account data. Once connected, Muse draws on their lab results and clinician-reviewed summaries to inform the goals and tasks a member brings to it.

Ask Muse how a lab result compares to a member’s optimal range before deciding whether to act on itHave Muse build or adjust a plan toward a health goal, using a member’s own Function insights as contextLet Muse flag when it’s time to schedule a member’s next Function lab visit, and follow up until it’s on the calendar

The Function health connector will roll out in the coming weeks. To learn more about Function or become a member, visit www.functionhealth.com.
