    Vesta Stream Studios Partners With Peer39 to Enable Program-Level Contextual Intelligence for CTV

    The integration brings program-level contextual intelligence, brand suitability, and content transparency to Vesta’s FAST and CTV inventory across 50M+ devices.

    HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, January 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Vesta Stream Studios, a premium OTT streaming and monetization platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Peer39, the industry leader in contextual intelligence and content-level classification, to strengthen content transparency, brand suitability, and programmatic monetization across Vesta’s FAST and CTV inventory.

    Through this partnership, Vesta Stream Studios is integrating Peer39’s program-level CTV intelligence to replace app-level assumptions with authenticated content signals. This allows buyers to discover and transact against individual programs with greater precision, while giving publishers a clearer way to surface the quality, context, and suitability of their inventory.

    Peer39’s technology leverages Content IDs and additional data to normalize and align programming across more than 2,000 program-level categories, including genres, ratings, broadcast types, warnings and advisories, and suitability signals. These signals travel natively through the programmatic supply chain across SSPs, DSPs, and buyer platforms ensuring consistent categorization, improved discoverability, and VPPA-compliant activation without relying on any user-level data.

    “CTV buyers are no longer satisfied with broad app-level signals; they require deeper, content-specific intelligence to activate brand-safe, performance-driven campaigns,” said Beej Gefsky, VP Content Acquisition & Partnerships at Vesta Stream Studios. “Partnering with Peer39 allows us to unlock the full value of our CTV inventory by making each program discoverable, auditable, and aligned with how buyers actually plan and transact.” For Vesta Stream Studios, the integration delivers immediate publisher benefits, including improved bidstream signal integrity through auditing, consistent content categorization across platforms, enhanced brand safety and suitability controls, and increased access to open-exchange demand from buyers seeking high-quality, fraud-free CTV inventory.

    “Publishers succeed when buyers can clearly understand what content they are buying,” said Chris Chandler, Director of CTV Partnerships at Peer39. “By working with Vesta Stream Studios, we are enabling program-level discovery that benefits both advertisers and publishers by driving more relevant targeting, better optimization, and stronger monetization outcomes across CTV.” The partnership reinforces Vesta Stream Studios’ broader strategy of building a premium, data-forward CTV ecosystem, combining large-scale distribution across more than 50 million devices with industry-leading standards for transparency, contextual intelligence, and brand-safe monetization.

  • SALS3 Launches Global Curation Platform to Combat ‘Marketplace Fatigue’ and Close the Retail Gap

    SALS3 Launches Global Curation Platform to Combat ‘Marketplace Fatigue’ and Close the Retail Gap

    CA, UNITED STATES, January 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As the digital landscape evolves, the promise of infinite convenience has transitioned into a burden for the global consumer. SALS3 (www.sals3.com) officially announces its market entry, positioning itself as the essential “exit strategy” for modern shoppers overwhelmed by the current state of e-commerce. By the year 2026, the retail industry has reached a tipping point characterized by “Marketplace Fatigue,” where consumers are forced to navigate between bloated utility giants and chaotic, gamified platforms.

    Redefining the Modern Marketplace

    The current e-commerce ecosystem is dominated by two extremes: legacy luxury brands that remain financially inaccessible to the majority, and “bargain bin” platforms where low prices result in high emotional costs due to failed expectations. SALS3 identifies this divide as the “Retail Gap”.
    “Marketplace fatigue ends here,” the company stated, noting that giants like Amazon have optimized strictly for volume and utility, while platforms such as Temu and Shopee have embraced a model of “gamified chaos”. In this environment, the pursuit of clicks and data has eroded the human experience, replacing the joy of discovery with a sea of identical listings and aggressive psychological hacks designed to trigger impulsive purchases.

    The “Goldilocks Zone” for Aspirational Realists

    SALS3 occupies what it terms the “Goldilocks Zone,” specifically designed for the “Aspirational Realist”. The brand operates on the core belief that style is a fundamental right rather than a privilege. By eliminating the “Brand Tax” typically associated with high- quality goods, SALS3 aims to provide a curated, affordable lifestyle without compromising on aesthetic or quality.
    To achieve this, the company has introduced “Curated Velocity”. While the “Everything Store” model fails by forcing customers to act as their own private investigators and fraud detectors, SALS3 acts as a high-level filter. The company’s global trend scouts vet over

    250+ products daily to identify the “Hero Version” of every major trend. Whether it is a wireless CarPlay screen or a structured corduroy jacket, the team identifies the specific manufacturer that successfully balanced hardware, style, and functionality so that customers can invest in products rather than gamble on them.

    A Rejection of the “Gimmick Economy”

    In a move to restore peace of mind to the shopping experience, Sals3 Pty. Ltd. has intentionally rejected the “Gimmick Economy”. The platform features:
    • Minimalist UI: A “high vibe” interface designed to let products speak for themselves without spinning wheels or fake urgency pop-ups.
    • Transparent Sourcing: Clear communication regarding why specific products are selected for the collection.
    • Secure Architecture: Integration with localized payment gateways, including GCash and Alipay, to ensure ironclad security.
    • Logical Logistics: A supply chain engineered to treat global shipping with the efficiency of local delivery, balancing speed with cost-efficiency to solve “International Shipping Trauma”.

    Categories for 21st-Century Living

    The SALS3 ecosystem is built to mirror the needs of modern life. The current catalog focuses on three primary pillars:
    1. Lifestyle Tech: Optimized hardware for the modern professional.
    2. Sanctuary-Focused Home Goods: Items designed to enhance the living environment.
    3. Smart Pet Tools: The brand’s fastest-growing sector, offering durable and intelligent solutions for pet owners.
    As legacy platforms grow increasingly bloated, SALS3 remains a steady, curated alternative dedicated to ensuring consumers no longer have to sacrifice their aesthetic or peace of mind to save money.


    About SALS3 Sals3 Pty. Ltd. is a curated retail platform dedicated to closing the “Retail Gap” between luxury and low-quality marketplaces. By focusing on “Curated Velocity” and

    a gimmick-free user experience, SALS3 provides the “Aspirational Realist” with high-quality lifestyle goods without the “Brand Tax”.

    Rentail.space Launches AI-Powered Marketplace Connecting Businesses with Short-Term Retail Spaces

    Rentail.space is transforming how businesses discover and secure short-term retail spaces in shopping centers across the United States and Canada.

    We’re bringing the same level of intelligence and efficiency to commercial specialty leases that transformed residential real estate a decade ago.”

    — Assaf Arkin

    LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, January 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Rentail.space, an AI-powered specialty lease marketplace, today announced its official launch, transforming how businesses discover and secure short-term retail spaces in shopping centers across the United States and Canada. The platform addresses a critical gap in the commercial real estate market by connecting pop-up retailers, seasonal vendors, and specialty merchants with available spaces in established shopping centers.

    Solving a Market Inefficiency

    The traditional process of finding temporary retail space is fragmented, time-consuming, and often requires direct outreach to individual property managers. Rentail.space eliminates these friction points by aggregating available spaces and using advanced AI to match businesses with optimal locations based on demographics, foot traffic, lease terms, and merchant requirements.

    “We’re bringing the same level of intelligence and efficiency to commercial specialty leases that transformed residential real estate a decade ago,” said Assaf Arkin, CEO of Rentail.space. “Our AI-powered platform understands merchant needs—whether you’re selling artisan goods, seasonal products, or testing a new market—and connects you with spaces that align with your business model and budget.”

    How It Works

    Rentail.space leverages advanced AI technology to provide:

    – Intelligent Matching: Conversational AI interface that learns merchant requirements and recommends suitable spaces
    – Comprehensive Database: Curated listings of shopping centers and available retail spaces with detailed demographics and traffic patterns
    – Geographic Search: Location-aware recommendations within specified search radius
    – Streamlined Communication: Direct connection between merchants and property managers

    The platform’s AI assistant guides users through the search process, capturing critical business information including product categories, target demographics, budget constraints, and timing requirements. This context-driven approach delivers personalized recommendations that would traditionally require hours of manual research.

    “Research reveals that 80% of tenants turn to online searches to locate commercial properties, and more than half of them lease properties they found online.” — Deal Magazine

    Market Opportunity

    The specialty lease market represents a significant yet underserved segment of commercial real estate. Shopping centers increasingly seek to diversify tenant mix with pop-up concepts, seasonal activations, and limited-time retail experiences. Simultaneously, businesses demand flexible lease terms and faster paths to market entry.

    “Rentail.space creates value for both sides of the transaction,” added Assaf Arkin. “Property managers gain access to a vetted pipeline of potential tenants, while merchants reduce search time from weeks to minutes. This efficiency benefits the entire retail ecosystem.”

    “As leasing reps, we spend a lot of time seeking new business, but on the flip side, new business is seeking us also. This helps bridge that gap in our canvassing efforts,” said Joe Snipes, Regional Specialty Leasing Representative at Simon Property Group. “I like this!”

    “The 2025 consumer outlook is guardedly optimistic, shaped by value-centric spending, rising store traffic (especially among Gen Z), and deeper integration of AI-driven personalization. Retailers must pivot to meet evolving needs, employing technology to enhance experiences, manage inventory, and drive operational efficiency.” — Insight Trends World

    This trend is particularly relevant for Gen-Z entrepreneurs, who are increasingly launching pop-up concepts and direct-to-consumer brands that resonate with their peers. By making it easier for young merchants to secure retail space, Rentail.space helps shopping centers attract the foot traffic they need most—Gen-Z consumers who follow the brands and creators they connect with online into physical retail experiences.

    Technology Foundation

    Built on a modern engineering stack and patent-pending AI technology, Rentail.space delivers enterprise-grade reliability with consumer-level simplicity. The platform’s geographic search capabilities, combined with real-time data enrichment from Google Places API, ensure accurate and current listing information.

    This combination of AI matching and real-time data makes Rentail.space the premier destination whether you’re looking for short-term retail space in a mall or searching more traditional shopping centers.

    Looking Ahead

    Rentail.space is built on a simple premise: access to retail space shouldn’t depend on who you know or how long you’ve been in the industry. By removing barriers and bringing transparency to specialty leasing, we’re working to democratize retail—giving first-time merchants the same opportunities to reach customers that established brands have always had. That’s not just good for business; it’s how we build a more diverse and vibrant retail landscape.

    Availability

    Rentail.space is now live and accepting merchants at https://rentail.space.

    Launching with 767 shopping centers across the United States and Canada, with initial focus on Southern California and rapid expansion to major metros nationwide.
