Smartly Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire INCRMNTAL

 Integration will combine creative and media orchestration with always-on incrementality measurement across social, commerce, and CTV


 


(BUSINESS WIRE)--Smartly today announced it has entered into a letter of intent to acquire INCRMNTAL, a pioneering AI-powered incrementality measurement platform that delivers real-time insights into the incremental impact of marketing investments across channels without relying on user-level data or tracking.


As brands activate across social, commerce, and premium CTV, understanding what actually drives incremental growth has become increasingly complex. By combining INCRMNTAL’s real-time incrementality insights with Smartly's platform that enables advertisers to turn insights into action across channels, marketers can continuously direct investment to what drives business outcomes. The integration will translate incrementality signals into real-time planning and optimization within Smartly, helping brands and agencies allocate budgets with greater confidence.


“Marketing leaders today are demanding better measurement for performance and accountability,” said Laura Desmond, CEO of Smartly. “Incrementality is becoming increasingly important in a world where traditional approaches are challenged to move at the speed of AI and the changing consumer journey.

INCRMNTAL’s AI-powered always-on methodology analyzes natural fluctuations in campaign activity instead of forcing marketers to exclude audiences, pause campaigns, or run formal experiments. The solution complements marketers’ existing measurement tools, including marketing mix modeling (MMM) and multi-touch attribution (MTA).


With this acquisition, Smartly will reinforce its position as the platform that connects creative, media, and intelligence, helping marketers orchestrate performance with confidence.

The Swoosh Meets the ‘b’: Beats and Nike Unveil Historic First-Ever Collaboration for Powerbeats Pro 2

  CULVER CITY, Calif. - Tuesday, 17. March 2026 AETOSWire




LeBron James trades the court for the course in a star-studded campaign celebrating the ultimate performance crossover


 


(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Beats and Nike announced the first hardware collaboration in their shared history: Powerbeats Pro 2 – Nike Special Edition. In a landmark design shift, Beats has—for the first time—shared its iconic earbud real estate with a partner, featuring the Nike Swoosh on the right bud and the signature Beats “b” on the left.


The limited-edition release marries Nike’s high-energy “Volt” color palette with the industry-leading audio tech of the Powerbeats Pro 2. The result is a performance tool built to bridge the gap between elite sport and street style.


The Nike Special Edition arrives in a striking matte black, Volt-speckled charging case. Upon opening, users are greeted by Nike’s “JUST DO IT” mantra printed inside the lid. While the aesthetic is new, the internals are pure power:


Pro-Level Sound: Adaptive Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and Transparency mode

Biometric Integration: Built-in Heart Rate Monitoring that syncs seamlessly with the Fitness app and Nike Run Club1

Athlete Endurance: Up to 45 hours of battery life with the charging case and IPX4-rated sweat and water resistance2

Secure Fit: Signature wrap-around earhooks designed to stay put from the weight room to the 18th green

“This isn't just a new colorway; it’s a collision of two brands that define performance, culture, and sports—the attributes of today’s athlete,” said Chris Thorne, CMO of Beats. “By placing the Swoosh on our hardware for the first time, we’re honoring the shared DNA of Beats and Nike—and celebrating ambassadors like LeBron James who embody both. It’s a tribute to the grit, style, and sound that push people to their limits.”


To accompany the launch, Beats tapped longtime brand ambassador LeBron James for a comedic campaign that proves you don't need to be perfect to play. In “Keep Your Head in The Game,” James hits the green with less-than-elite golf skills—but with Powerbeats Pro 2, he tunes out the critics (played by professional golfer Tom Kim and actors Lionel Boyce and Travis "Taco" Bennett) and embraces the game on his own terms. Watch it here.


“When two iconic brands like Beats and Nike come together, it's more than a collaboration—for me, it's family,” said LeBron James. “I’ve been part of the Beats journey since day one with the original Powerbeats, and the Powerbeats Pro 2 represent everything I need in my daily routine, whether I'm training, recovering, or just living life. These aren't just my go-to earbuds—they're built for anyone who refuses to compromise on performance.”


To learn more about the collaboration and sign up for launch updates, visit Nike.Beats.

Pricing and Availability


Powerbeats Pro 2 – Nike Special Edition will be available to purchase on Friday, March 20, for $249.99 USD at Apple.com in the United States, United Kingdom, China, Japan, Germany, Canada, Australia, Singapore, France, Spain, India, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Hong Kong.
