New York – – September 12, 2026 -- FouAnalytics has launched FouAnalytics Practitioners Spotlight, a weekly LinkedIn series profiling hands-on advertising and digital marketing professionals rather than ranking them by follower count.

FouAnalytics moves beyond 'Top 100' rankings to profile individual practitioners weekly

Dr. Augustine Fou, founder of FouAnalytics, said the volume of skilled professionals in advertising, adtech and digital marketing exceeded what a single ranked list could capture, prompting the new format focused on individual contributions instead of aggregate lists.

Each profile targets practical problem-solving over follower metrics

Every one-page Spotlight will introduce a practitioner, describe the specific problems they solve, and outline lessons other professionals can apply directly to their own work. The series is built on real campaign examples rather than abstract career advice or generic credentials.

Helsinki – September 12, 2026 -- F-Secure and AMD Silo AI have jointly developed a routing technology that decides, per piece of data, whether AI processing happens on-device or in the cloud, aiming to secure consumer digital journeys as autonomous AI agents take over tasks like shopping and payments. The upcoming F-Secure TrustPath solution, built on this approach, is scheduled to enter beta in the fourth quarter of 2026 and reach production in 2027.

Consumer trust in AI has collapsed to single digits
