EDO Launches Engaged Audience Planning for Upfronts
EDO (The Outcomes Company) unveiled Engaged Audience Planning, a software overlay that lets advertisers model reach-versus-response trade-offs inside existing planning stacks. The module uses what EDO calls "vertical AI" and a dataset tracking 110 trillion linear and streaming impressions to forecast intent signals (search spikes, site visits, app-download activity) alongside traditional reach metrics. EDO says the tool integrates with audience systems from Nielsen, VideoAmp and Kantar Media and programmatic optimizers such as DoubleVerify’s Scibids AI, positioning itself as an outcome-focused overlay rather than a currency. The company cites an unnamed advertiser seeing a more-than-threefold engagement lift in testing. Independent validation, integration costs and performance versus attention metrics remain outstanding questions for buyers ahead of live Upfront deals.
EDO Offers Free TV Ad Intelligence to Agencies

EDO says its platform measures more than 133 trillion ad impressions, 2.5 million creatives and 35,000 brands, refreshed daily. EDO’s outcome-measurement flagship product, Ad EnGage, remains a paid offering available by subscription or via programmatic partners. The no-cost Upfront access is available immediately to U.S. advertising agencies. Kevin Krim, EDO President & CEO, and Shasta Cafarelli, SVP of Media Investment at Tinuiti, are quoted in the announcement.
Zuckerberg unveils $1,299 Meta VR glasses and Muse Charm
At Meta Connect, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled new hardware, including the Meta VR Glasses, a lightweight 100-gram device priced at $1,299 in the US, available spring 2027, and the Muse Charm, a keychain-sized AI gadget with a display, microphones, cameras, and 5G, launching by end of 2025. The VR glasses use an external puck with a Qualcomm processor and battery, offering high-resolution visuals and eye/hand tracking. Additionally, Meta's AI glasses with a display will launch in Germany on October 13 for €899, and a camera-less audio version will also launch on October 13 to address privacy concerns. At Connect 2026, Muse Charm was showcased with a fingerprint sensor for AI interaction, and the Muse AI agent, launched earlier in September, has topped the App Store. Meta plans to integrate Muse into over 100 styles of AI glasses by end of 2026, and analysts note a monetization strategy with transaction fees. However, Amazon blocked Muse from scanning its site, and skepticism remains about market demand.
