Brands don’t just buy media anymore. They are becoming media owners in their own right. But the process of connecting brands to branded entertainment IP is still fragmented, opaque, and inefficient. So we built IPX - The Content Marketplace to connect the dots. IPX is world's first branded entertainment marketplace where brands discover, connect with, and partner on premium entertainment IP. If you’re a brand, agency, media owner, or creator interested in shaping the next generation of brand-funded entertainment get in touch :-) ---- 👋 IPX is part of Agency House Ltd, a new agency running multiple complimentary but independent business verticals including Saudi Agency Network (part of Agency House). https://lnkd.in/gfgpn4bE

At the Brooklyn Tech Expo yesterday, Ramm.ai founder Alan Avidan emphasized the theme of 'AI Agents are everywhere.' A key point of discussion was the distinction between an agent and an Agentic system. The presence of agents is indeed notable, with WPP reporting 50,000 working on their behalf, raising questions about the cost and influence of such a workforce. A defining characteristic of an agent is its ability to act with agency and operate autonomously, unlike a bot that relies solely on prescribed LLMs or RAGs. However, a pressing question remains: how much autonomy does agentic AI truly possess without any human oversight? For instance, can it make purchases independently or comment on blog posts without human approval? What is its capacity to interact with other agents outside its ecosystem? Indeed in the case of fashion who decides what to put in your wardrobe for the new season? It appears there may be a spectrum of autonomy influenced by future governance and regulation. A critical question for businesses and society is how much independence should agentic structures be granted. While blockchain can serve as a verification mechanism to ensure data authenticity within an independent system, is this sufficient? Moreover, is it risky to embed such authority in a system that is challenging to modify? As AI agents become increasingly prevalent, the discussions surrounding their deployment are equally significant everywhere.

Think beyond the post. A smart influencer package keeps generating content and opportunities... Most brands stop at hoping for a single shoutout. The best ones design every detail to spark ongoing visibility — clips, mentions, collaborations, and more. Oren knows how to engineer that kind of momentum. You can too. We unpack the full playbook for turning influencer outreach into a content engine in this episode. For the full episode of Open Residency with Oren John: https://lnkd.in/eWHbgBUw
