TouchTunes Hires New CRO and SVP of Marketing
TouchTunes appointed James Moore as Chief Revenue Officer and Cassie Parham as Senior Vice President of Marketing to lead commercial expansion, consumer engagement and strategic partnerships as the company broadens beyond digital jukeboxes into an integrated interactive in-venue experience. Moore will unify sales, advertising, marketing, darts and revenue operations; Parham will lead global marketing to elevate the brand, improve retention and increase engagement across TouchTunes' music, darts and payment platforms. The announcement highlights TouchTunes' scale — more than 63,000 interactive jukebox locations and an expanded network of over 32,000 BullShooter® dartboards following a 2024 acquisition — and positions the hires to pursue new revenue and advertising opportunities across its in-person audience network.
Senior commercial hires at a large DOOH and in-venue entertainment platform signal a push to expand advertising and revenue operations across a sizable physical inventory, but this is a company-level personnel update rather than an industry‑shifting policy or product release.

AmEx and Perplexity Launch AI CFO for Small Businesses
American Express and Perplexity have launched AI CFO tools for U.S. small businesses, featuring about 10 Skills within Perplexity Computer that turn Amex Small Business Card data into cash-flow forecasts, reconciliation, and tax-season preparation. The AI CFO can forecast cash but cannot make payments, a deliberate limitation as AmEx retains payment authority to capture the value of AI CFOs for SMEs. The article also discusses Stripe's acquisition of Parafin, a lender behind platforms like DoorDash, Gusto, Amazon and Walmart Marketplace, and compares the AmEx/Perplexity offering with Anthropic's Claude for Small Business and Meta's Muse.
Apple TV Bucks Unscripted Wave with Premium Scripted Focus
New research from Ampere Analysis reveals that Apple TV is the only major global streaming service to increase its proportion of scripted content in its US catalogue between Q2 2022 and Q2 2026. With unscripted content making up only 18% of its catalogue, Apple TV contrasts sharply with competitors like HBO Max, where unscripted hours approach 75%. Ampere's viewership data shows Apple's strategy works: Ted Lasso Season 4 drew 3.3 million unique US viewers in early September 2026, with other premium titles like Mayday and Silo also performing strongly. Looper Insights data indicates Apple's interface design, featuring portrait-oriented posters, directs 96.6% of Media Placement Value to Apple TV+ originals, reinforcing its premium positioning. Apple's approach is a deliberate trade, focusing on high-intent, culturally significant content rather than volume-driven engagement.
