The New Division Will Drive Revenue Growth by Leveraging Dolphin’s Vast Expertise in Cultural Impact to Break Through the Sources and Citations LLMs Study Most

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 16, 2025 / Dolphin (NASDAQ:DLPN) a leading entertainment marketing and premium content production company, today announced the creation of Dolphin Intelligence, a new division focused entirely on offering innovative opportunities for brands, talent, creators and companies to gain advantage as the new AI marketing environment ushers in a golden age for earned media.

Built on Dolphin’s decades of experience in human-centered cultural spaces including film, television, music, lifestyle, food, sport and purpose-driven initiatives, Dolphin Intelligence is designed to ensure its partners show up where it increasingly matters most: inside the conversations, citations and recommendations generated by AI engines and large language models ("LLMs").

Dolphin Intelligence will be led by creative industry veteran Mark Anderson, who has spent nearly thirty years on the frontiers of technology and creativity, from Silicon Valley to Madison Avenue. As an award-winning creative with roles at industry-leading agencies including Razorfish and BBDO, Mark has extensive experience incorporating emerging technologies into pioneering and revenue-driving creative expressions.

"This is a transformative opportunity for all of our clients," said Mark Anderson, Director of Creative Intelligence at Dolphin. "Contrary to the fear that AI will replace human creativity, we’re already seeing the opposite: AI is amplifying the creative moments and authentic experiences that are at the core of what we do. In a way, it has taken AI to remind us what it really means to be human – and that emotional connection is more important to marketing than ever."

GEO, AI and the Renewed Impact of Earned Media

At the heart of Dolphin Intelligence is the core insight that AI has ushered in a new golden age of earned media. Most generative engines and LLMs are trained primarily on editorial, reference and user-generated content, instead of traditional ad units, which means that brands with rich, credible earned footprints and objective voices are more likely to be surfaced, cited and recommended.

However, succeeding in Generative Engine Optimization ("GEO") and AI Engine Optimization ("AEO") requires brands to behave differently:

• They must show up, in the real world, across multiple sectors of culture, from news and entertainment to food, sport, philanthropy, hospitality and thought leadership, so LLMs encounter consistent, reinforcing signals about who they are and what they stand for.

• They must think of paid media primarily as a way to fund memorable cultural moments, brand interactions, partnerships and content that earn coverage and conversation, which in turn feed the datasets AI models learn from.

"We want CMOs to understand that the brands AI ‘trust’ most are the ones that are validated by authentic human voices and real-life experience," added Anderson. "That means supplementing traditional media plans and using even a small percentage of paid budgets to create high-impact, highly-earnable ideas that LLMs will repeatedly encounter and cite over time."

Positioning Dolphin for New Revenue Growth in the AI Era

Dolphin Intelligence is expected to create new revenue streams for the Company through a suite of AI-focused strategic services, recurring advisory engagements and data-informed products that can be layered onto existing client relationships and sold to new categories of businesses.

These offerings are designed to:

• Expand share of wallet with current clients by adding AI, GEO and AEO strategy to existing publicity, social, influencer and creative scopes;

• Attract new clients specifically seeking help navigating the impact of AI, generative search and LLMs on their marketing mix; and

• Create scalable IP in the form of frameworks, methodologies and tools that can be licensed or standardized across categories.

"Every major platform shift has rewarded the companies that moved first," said Bill O’Dowd, CEO of Dolphin Entertainment. "We believe AI and LLMs will reshape how every marketing dollar is spent. Dolphin Intelligence gives us a new suite of services that not only helps our clients adapt and grow, but also positions Dolphin for incremental, long-term revenue as brands reallocate budgets to win in this environment."

New Services Built to Have Creativity Rewarded by AI Search

The intersection of creativity and AI will sit at the heart of Dolphin Intelligence’s offerings, which will focus on optimizing a brand’s profile, discoverability and relevance for generative engines and LLMs, while unlocking new fee and project opportunities for Dolphin.

New services and products will include, among others:

• Cite Bites™ – Earned media plans and brand activations that are "back-engineered" to target and influence the sources and citations most frequently referenced by LLMs and generative search experiences, helping brands become more visible inside AI-generated answers.

• Emotional Mapping™ – Strategic refinement of brand communications, messaging and content formats to better align with the conversational, casual and question-driven ways people are interacting with AI tools – from chat interfaces to voice assistants.

• Authenticity Scoring – Analysis and tracking of a brand’s use of media, content and language to ensure optimization for the objective, authoritative, and authentic measurements preferred by LLMs.

• AI GEO & AEO Strategy – Proprietary frameworks and playbooks that help brands rethink their mix of earned and paid, ensuring that a portion of traditional paid budgets is devoted to creating ownable, culture-shaping moments, partnerships and content that are more likely to be referenced by AI systems.

• AI Readiness & Narrative Audits – Subscription-like or project-based engagements that assess how a brand currently appears in AI-generated results, identify category whitespace, and map out the narrative and content needed to improve its AI presence over time.

These services are being designed to complement, not replace, Dolphin’s existing strengths across publicity, influencer marketing, social strategy and original content, giving clients a single partner that can connect traditional culture-shaping tactics with next-generation AI distribution, while creating new billable opportunities for the Company. With full event, activation and content production capabilities, Dolphin is unique in its ability to design and implement every step of the strategic and creative process, ensuring the most effective and AI-optimized results.

Partnership With OtterlyAI to Power Measurement and Insights

To help lead the moment-by-moment analytics, monitoring and continuous optimization that are critical to these offerings, Dolphin Intelligence has partnered with OtterlyAI, a pioneer in the emerging AEO category.

OtterlyAI’s technology will help Dolphin Intelligence:

• Track how and where brands appear inside AI-generated results;

• Monitor which sources and citations are most influential for a given category;

• Measure the impact of specific campaigns on AI visibility over time; and

• Inform iterative adjustments to content, messaging, prompts and media strategy.

The combination of Dolphin’s cultural expertise and OtterlyAI’s measurement capabilities is intended to give clients a clear path to becoming "first choice" brands for both consumers and the AI systems that increasingly guide their decisions – while providing Dolphin with a measurable, performance-oriented story for investors and clients alike.

Scooter and Friends Take a Vacation by Nancy Strom

NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / December 15, 2025 / There are people who spend their lives collecting stories, even when they do not yet realize they are storytellers. Nancy Strom is one of them. Her life never followed the cinematic arc of a prodigy writer, nor the caffeinated urgency of someone chasing publication in their twenties. Instead, her imagination aged like an heirloom kept at the back of a drawer, waiting for the right season to return to the light.

At eighteen, she met the book that planted the seed. Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows wrapped itself around her imagination with its gentle animals, its riverbanks, and its unhurried wisdom. But she was soon on her way to UC Berkeley, stepping into a world of academics, administration, responsibility, and adulthood. The enchantment stayed with her but made no demands.

Her early career unfolded in the structured hum of university life. Nancy served in Academic Personnel at the Chancellor’s Office and later at the Lawrence Hall of Science. When she eventually moved to Seattle, she transitioned into personnel and office management for a major law firm, becoming the quiet axis around which entire departments ran smoothly.

For decades, she lived in the world of people: hiring, mentoring, organizing, guiding. A life of impact, far from the whimsy of talking animals and rhyming lines. Yet nothing about that detour diminished the stories waiting inside her. It simply ripened them.

When she retired in 2002, she stepped immediately into service work, joining the Board of Directors for the Pacific Northwest USO. For eight years, she contributed to the well-being of military families, even serving on the Executive Committee. It was meaningful work. It was patriotic work. It was work that mattered.

Then life, as it sometimes does, delivered a difficult chapter. Health issues required her to step away from the board in 2014. The shift left her with both space and silence, the kind of quiet that invites old memories to surface. And from that quiet came the voices of those long-loved fictional animals she had met half a century earlier.

It wasn’t nostalgia that drew her back. It was recognition. After years of serving institutions, communities, and families, it was finally time to create something of her own.

She decided to write a children’s book. Not just any book, but one built on the values, emotions, and warmth that had shaped her own reading life. She created a cast of lovable animals. She let them speak in rhyme. She sketched a small adventure full of curiosity and gentle humor. And she poured into it the kind of sincerity that only comes from someone who knows what childhood magic feels like and understands how precious it is.

When the first draft was complete, she faced a second mountain: publishing. This was where many new authors would give up. Nancy did the opposite. She immersed herself in research, joined the Alliance of Independent Authors, and studied every part of the independent publishing ecosystem. Through that journey she found Ocean Reeve Publishing, a team that helped her refine her manuscript, collaborate with an illustrator, format her pages, and shape her narrative into a professional, polished picture book.

She even mastered marketing well enough to presell 125 copies before the physical book existed.

The result was Scooter and Friends Take a Vacation, a warm and melodic story that feels as if it belongs on the shelf beside the classics that shaped her. The illustrations radiate kindness. The rhyme moves like a soft rhythm that children can follow even before they learn to read. And the world she created is colorful without being chaotic, adventurous without being frightening, and imaginative without losing clarity.

But the real story here is Nancy.

She is a reminder that creative life can begin at any age. That inspiration does not expire. That the ideas tucked away in young adulthood can resurface when the heart is finally ready. She represents a quieter kind of artistic resilience, one built not on struggle but on patience. Children’s literature is richer because she said yes to the call that returned to her after fifty years.

Nancy is currently working on the sequel to Scooter and Friends Take a Vacation, expanding the world of her irresistible animal travelers. She continues to speak at schools, organizations, and community events, not just about her book but about the entire independent publishing journey. She tells children and adults alike that stories are living things and that the chance to write them is never lost.

Her life, as much as her book, is a gentle invitation: it is never too late to bring something joyful into the world.

A Comprehensive Platform Built for the Modern Sports Audience

Alairelibre.cl provides a full ecosystem of sports information, offering breaking news, live match commentary, expert analyses, interviews, multimedia storytelling, and contextual reporting. Chilean football remains at the heart of the platform’s editorial identity. Readers can follow every development of the Primera División, Primera B, Copa Chile, and the lower leagues, with constant updates on managerial changes, transfer negotiations, injuries, disciplinary rulings, and tactical decisions. Coverage of La Roja is equally central, with extensive reporting on World Cup qualifiers, Copa América campaigns, training camps, international friendlies, federation statements, squad announcements, and performance evaluations.

But the platform’s scope extends well beyond national borders, always maintaining a clear focus on Chilean athletes. Alairelibre.cl consistently follows Chilean players competing in Europe, with coverage spanning the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and the UEFA Champions League. Transfer windows, contract renewals, coaching changes, and emerging talents are analyzed exclusively through their relevance to Chilean sport. Beyond football, other disciplines such as tennis, combat sports, and Olympic events are also covered from the same perspective, ensuring readers receive a complete and coherent picture of Chilean athletes’ activity on the international stage.

Editorial Excellence: Where Speed Meets Depth

What sets Alairelibre.cl apart is its balance of speed and substance. In a digital landscape where rumors circulate faster than facts, the platform maintains strict verification standards. Every update, from a last-minute transfer to a national team announcement, is cross-checked with official sources, accredited journalists, and real-time data providers. This commitment to accuracy has earned the website a reputation for reliability that few competitors match.

At the same time, the editorial team goes beyond reporting events. Articles often include contextual analyses that help readers understand why decisions are made, what strategies coaches are implementing, how a player’s form is evolving, or what implications a result may have for upcoming competitions. This interpretative layer transforms raw information into meaningful insight, appealing not only to casual fans but to analysts, commentators, and informed audiences who require deeper reading.

A Digital Infrastructure Optimized for Today’s Reader

The platform’s technological foundation has been designed to support its editorial mission. Pages load quickly and are optimized for search engines, ensuring visibility and reach. A mobile-first layout allows readers to follow updates on the go, while smart categorization and internal navigation make it easy to explore related topics, find historical data, or revisit key articles.

Real-time content pipelines enable the team to publish updates instantly, especially during live events. Multimedia elements, video clips, audio segments, infographics, and photo galleries, enhance storytelling and offer a more immersive user experience. The combination of technology and journalism allows Alairelibre.cl to meet the expectations of a generation that consumes information across multiple devices at all hours of the day.

Live Coverage that Captures the Pulse of the Moment

One of the platform’s strongest assets is its live coverage. During major national and international matches, Alairelibre.cl activates dedicated reporting streams that deliver minute-by-minute updates. These include play-by-play actions, tactical adjustments, statistical highlights, injury reports, VAR decisions, expert commentary, and post-match reactions.

Coverage of youth academies, grassroots competitions, women’s football, and regional tournaments gives visibility to sectors that historically receive limited attention. By amplifying these stories, Alairelibre.cl supports a more inclusive and diverse sporting landscape and helps nurture the next generation of athletes, coaches, and fans.

SEO Optimization: Expanding Reach Beyond Borders

The reach of Alairelibre.cl has expanded significantly thanks to a refined SEO strategy. Articles are written with high-value keywords that match contemporary search trends, while semantic optimization ensures alignment with user intent. A clear hierarchy within articles improves readability and ranking potential. Fresh content signals, multiple updates per day, keep the platform relevant in search engine algorithms. Over time, this strategy has strengthened the platform’s authority and visibility not only in Chile but throughout Latin America, the United States, and Europe, where interest in Chilean football and South American players continues to grow.

A Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, Alairelibre.cl intends to deepen its multimedia offerings through long-form video analysis, podcasts, and interactive features that allow readers to explore tactical models, player comparisons, or predictive simulations. Closer integration with social media platforms as Instagram and Facebook will amplify live updates and behind-the-scenes storytelling. The platform also aims to foster new international collaborations that reflect the interconnected nature of modern sports journalism.

These initiatives underline a clear ambition: to remain Chile’s most influential, complete, and forward-thinking sports news destination.

BRISTOL, TN / ACCESS Newswire / December 15, 2025 / VisionWave Technologies, Inc (NASDAQ:VWAV) has entered into a £500,000 proof-of-concept program with Evie Autonomous, according to recent company disclosures. The agreement centers on integrating autonomous mobility systems into VisionWave’s unmanned ground vehicle platforms, representing the company’s most substantial commitment to the European defense market to date. The partnership leverages VisionWave’s RF-driven perception technology to address capability gaps in GPS-denied and contested electromagnetic environments where traditional navigation systems face operational limitations.

The collaboration focuses on developing multi-sensor fusion capabilities that enable autonomous ground vehicles to operate effectively in environments where GPS signals are unavailable or compromised. VisionWave’s radio frequency perception technology provides navigation and obstacle detection capabilities that complement traditional visual and LIDAR-based systems, offering enhanced operational resilience in contested battlespace conditions.

The initiative reflects VisionWave’s strategic pivot toward European defense markets, where autonomous systems procurement has accelerated amid heightened geopolitical tensions. The company’s RF perception technology targets a specific operational challenge: maintaining autonomous vehicle functionality when GPS infrastructure is unavailable or compromised through electronic warfare-a scenario increasingly relevant in modern contested environments.

In company statements accompanying the announcement, CEO Michael Chen characterized the RF perception technology as addressing "a fundamental challenge facing autonomous systems in modern defense applications," framing the partnership as capability-focused rather than geographically opportunistic. The positioning suggests VisionWave views the Evie Autonomous collaboration as technical validation of its core technology thesis rather than a speculative market entry play.

Execution-Focused Market Entry

Notably, VisionWave expanded its London-based engineering team prior to announcing the Evie Autonomous partnership-a sequencing that suggests deliberate capacity building ahead of customer commitments. This approach positions the company in proximity to European defense customers and regulatory bodies while signaling execution readiness rather than speculative market positioning.

European defense procurement has accelerated autonomous systems acquisition in response to geopolitical developments that have highlighted capability gaps in contested operational environments. The demand for autonomous ground vehicles capable of operating without reliance on GPS infrastructure has increased substantially as defense organizations seek resilient solutions for complex threat environments.

VisionWave’s London engineering footprint provides technical support capabilities and facilitates direct engagement with European defense stakeholders throughout the development and integration process. The company’s established presence in the region strengthens its competitive position as defense organizations prioritize suppliers with local engineering resources and regional expertise.

Technical Capabilities and Integration

The proof-of-concept program evaluates the integration of Evie Autonomous’s mobility platform with VisionWave’s RF perception system across multiple operational scenarios. The technical validation process assesses system performance in environments characterized by GPS denial, electronic warfare conditions, and reduced visibility situations where conventional sensor systems face degraded effectiveness.

VisionWave’s approach combines radio frequency sensing with visual and LIDAR inputs to create a redundant perception architecture that maintains operational capability when individual sensor modalities are compromised. This multi-layered approach addresses a critical vulnerability in autonomous systems that rely exclusively on optical or GPS-based navigation, which can be disrupted through environmental conditions or deliberate electronic countermeasures.

Multi-Domain Solutions Strategy

The partnership aligns with broader trends in defense procurement toward integrated, multi-domain solutions that coordinate capabilities across ground, aerial, and communication systems. VisionWave’s focus on RF perception and sensor fusion positions the company to address evolving requirements for coordinated autonomous operations that span multiple operational domains.

The company’s strategic direction includes potential expansion into aerial platforms, with consideration of acquisition opportunities that would accelerate platform integration and broaden its autonomous systems portfolio. This approach reflects defense customer demand for suppliers capable of delivering integrated solutions rather than standalone components requiring extensive integration efforts.

VisionWave’s technology development roadmap emphasizes interoperability and open architecture principles that enable integration with diverse platform types and mission systems. This design philosophy supports the defense sector’s transition toward modular, upgradeable systems that can adapt to evolving operational requirements without requiring complete platform replacement.

Market Implications

VisionWave’s partnership with Evie Autonomous and potential expansion into aerial platforms illustrates a broader shift in defense procurement toward suppliers offering integrated, multi-domain solutions. Defense organizations increasingly favor vendors capable of delivering coordinated capabilities across ground, aerial, and communication systems rather than requiring extensive internal integration efforts.

The company’s emphasis on interoperability and open architecture principles aligns with defense sector demand for modular, upgradeable systems that adapt to evolving operational requirements. This strategic positioning may provide competitive advantages as European defense budgets continue prioritizing autonomous systems capable of operating in contested electromagnetic environments-a market segment experiencing accelerated growth driven by geopolitical urgency.

VisionWave’s London engineering footprint and RF perception technology focus represent calculated bets on specific capability gaps within European defense procurement. The £500,000 proof-of-concept investment, while modest in absolute terms, serves as a market validation mechanism that could inform larger-scale deployment decisions by European defense customers in subsequent procurement cycles.
