Cyabra and Orchestra Partner for Real-Time Brand Safety
Cyabra Strategy Ltd. and strategic communications firm Orchestra announced a partnership to deliver real-time narrative protection, crisis monitoring, and AI-driven brand safety for Orchestra clients worldwide. The collaboration combines Cyabra’s social-media detection of coordinated or inauthentic activity with Orchestra’s crisis-communications expertise to monitor emerging narratives, surface manipulative or GenAI-altered content, and provide rapid guidance to client leaders. Orchestra has already used Cyabra to help a global brand counter a coordinated DEI attack and to defend celebrity talent from disinformation, achieving earlier detection and stronger reputation protection. The joint offering aims to give brands a single view of reputational risk and will serve clients across North America, EMEA and APAC. Cyabra has also entered a business combination agreement with Trailblazer Merger Corporation I.
Partnership expands brand-safety and crisis-monitoring capabilities by combining detection technology with communications expertise and adds client coverage across major regions, but it is a vendor-level alliance rather than an industry-wide platform change.

Gartner Names 'Narrative Intelligence' Threat to Brands
Marketers’ trusted metrics are being manipulated by fast, cheap, AI-driven campaigns that manufacture signals and hijack brand narrative. Cyabra’s analyses cite coordinated inauthentic activity around Spotify’s 20th-anniversary logo, financial market manipulation (including a spike in inauthentic activity around Berkshire Hathaway in 2025), and World Cup ticket resale fraud. Gartner formally defined “Narrative Intelligence” in June 2026 in its first Emerging Market Quadrant for the category and named Cyabra a Market Shaper. The article positions narrative attacks as an urgent commercial threat comparable to cybersecurity breaches and promotes a DMWF North America session (Sept 9) led by Cyabra CMO David Low to teach marketers how to detect adversarial intent. Cyabra also promotes its AI-powered platform for real-time analysis of public interactions.
