The multi-day event united global creators in Hollywood for a content creation competition experience to educate and entertain consumers on healthy skin habits.

NEW YORK, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CeraVe, global skincare brand developed with dermatologists and recommended by more than 90,000 dermatologists worldwide¹, brought together 111 award-winning creators from 22 countries for the first-ever Global CerAwards in Los Angeles.

Originally launched in Spain in 2023, the CerAwards is CeraVe’s annual content creation competition recognizing outstanding skincare content from creators, dermatologists and healthcare professionals. Since its launch, the program has expanded globally, with 22 countries having hosted local competitions – this year alone – receiving over 5,000 submissions. From those submissions, 111 winners emerged to compete in the inaugural Global CerAwards — the grand finale — where creators go before an international jury to be crowned the best in skincare content.

Today, CeraVe reaches more than 15 million followers worldwide and billions of video views across platforms, driven by creators, medfluencers and skincare enthusiasts who have helped make CeraVe one of the most talked-about skincare brands on social media. Together, attendees at the inaugural Global CerAwards represented a combined reach of more than 44 million followers — underscoring the influence of the creator community that continues to bring CeraVe’s dermatologist expertise to audiences around the world.

CeraVe Studios: A Hollywood Experience Built for Creators
At the heart of the Global CerAwards was CeraVe Studios, an immersive content creation experience hosted on a Hollywood studio lot. Featuring custom-built sets, professional actors and stunt performers, creators were challenged to push the boundaries of skincare storytelling while bringing CeraVe’s cleansers and newest suncare innovations to life through four signature experiences:

• Raywatch: Inspired by the iconic slow-motion Malibu beach run, creators raced through a wind-blown, simulated beach environment to demonstrate how CeraVe suncare is sand resistant.
• The SPF Games: Players had 3 seconds to run, hide and shield themselves from the sun using giant CeraVe suncare products. If they missed the protection window creators were sprayed with water — but CeraVe sunscreen stayed on since it’s water resistant.
• Stunt N’ Sweat: Creators stepped into a high-energy rooftop chase, navigating obstacles under the sun to push physical limits. CeraVe Invisible Hydrating Sunscreen proved its sweat-resistant performance in motion.
• Mission Cleanser: Attendees moved swiftly through a laser-laced set to retrieve the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser. The lasers represented a compromised skin barrier, a reminder that if your skin squeaks, your barrier is weak!

Rooted in CeraVe’s signature medutainment approach, the experiences transformed product efficacy into creator-led storytelling — bringing to life the science behind CeraVe’s formulas, including the brand’s three essential ceramides identical to those found in the skin.

Celebrating the Best of the Best
The Global CerAwards culminated at Los Angeles’ iconic Wiltern Theatre, where creators gathered for an evening celebrating the talent, creativity and originality that continue to shape skincare culture online. Hosted by actress and comedian Meg Stalter, the ceremony featured a global judging panel including actress Bailee Madison, Board-Certified Dermatologist and creator Dr. Andrew Park, and Gene Colón – Global SVP, Medical Affairs & Communications at CeraVe.

The ceremony crowned the inaugural Global CerAwards winners, inducting them into the Ceramide Squad – CeraVe’s global creator collective – celebrating outstanding creativity from across the community while recognizing standout content created during the trip.

Built on Science. Amplified by Creators.
Developed with dermatologists since its founding in 2005, CeraVe combined science-backed skincare with education from day one. Built on a foundation of three essential ceramides identical to those found naturally in the skin, and deep expertise in skin barrier function, the brand helped establish the blueprint for how dermatologists, healthcare professionals and creators engage on social media — helping shape how millions of consumers discover, learn about and engage with skincare every day.

Vincent Chauvière, Global Brand President, CeraVe
“CeraVe has always believed in meeting consumers where culture happens, and we were among the first brands to harness the power of social platforms to make dermatological education more engaging and accessible,” said Vincent Chauvière, Global Brand President of CeraVe. “With the inaugural Global CerAwards, we’re taking that commitment even further by bringing together 111 creators from 22 countries for a one-of-a-kind Hollywood experience designed to push the boundaries of storytelling, spark creativity and redefine what’s possible when creators, science and entertainment come together.”

Dr. Andrew Park, Board-Certified Dermatologist and Creator
“CeraVe has always understood the power of social media to make skin health education more accessible, and they’ve been a pioneer in bringing dermatologists into those conversations. As both a dermatologist and creator, I know how rare it is to have the opportunity to collaborate with this level of talent from around the world and create content at this scale. Experiences like this don’t just inspire creativity — they help raise the bar for what skincare education can look like on social media.”

ISTANBUL, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beko, a leading home appliances company, is marking World Environment Day by highlighting a suite of technologies designed to deliver tangible reductions in energy and water consumption at home. This focus on resource reduction extends to the company’s global production facilities, where circular manufacturing practices and operational processes drive lower energy and water usage as well as lower waste generation.

Across its washing machine and dishwasher range, Beko integrates advanced technologies designed to optimize daily resource use. These advancements, including PowerIntense for dishwashing and EnergySpin for laundry, focus on lowering water and energy consumption respectively during everyday household routines.

Optimizing Resource Use Across Household Routines

Beko’s PowerIntense dishwasher technology delivers cleaning performance with as little as 5.9 liters of water per cycle, while delivering up to five times better cleaning performance^[1].This resource-saving capability is a meaningful advancement at a time when water scarcity is a growing concern in many markets.

When it comes to daily laundry routines, EnergySpin technology in washing machines reduces energy consumption by up to 35%^[2] compared to equivalent Beko machines without the technology. Together, these technologies demonstrate how Beko’s innovation can simplify everyday life while supporting lower resource use and optimized utility consumption for households.

Resource Management and Waste Reduction at the Core of Production

Lowering resource consumption at home is closely linked with sustainable manufacturing practices. This commitment begins directly within Beko’s production facilities, where targeted operational updates drive measurable environmental improvements. Reducing water usage in products and production processes is a critical focus for Beko in all markets across its suite of products and technologies. For instance, at the Manisa Washing Machine Plant in Türkiye, targeted optimizations have reduced water consumption per product by approximately 79%. Meanwhile, at its Singer facility, plastic waste has been cut by more than 90%.

These efforts support a broader corporate commitment: Beko aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030. Across its sites in Türkiye, Romania, Egypt and Bangladesh, best-in-class sustainability efforts are demonstrated through WEF-recognised leadership^[3], initiatives to reduce waste generation and improve waste recovery in manufacturing operations^[4], and renewable energy use^[5].

“We at Beko believe that real environmental responsibility requires looking at the bigger picture; combining how we manage our production with how our products perform at home,” said Can Dinçer, CEO of Beko, “Over the years, we have built sustainability into one of our strongest capabilities through continuous innovation and investment. By driving water and energy efficiency and reducing waste across our global manufacturing operations, as well as developing appliances that lower everyday resource consumption, we focus on practical sustainability. Our ultimate goal is to make mindful resource conservation a seamless and natural part of daily life, without requiring any compromise from our consumers.”

SINGAPORE, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DomoAI has added Seedance 2.0 to its image-to-video tools, so creators can now turn any image into a short cinematic clip with the sound already built in.

There will be 2 versions available on DomoAI. One is Seedance 2.0, the full-quality one for clips you’re ready to publish, and Seedance 2.0 Fast, a cheaper, quicker option for when you’re still working out an idea.

DomoAI covers a wide range of types of content creators work on a daily basis: AI music videos, story scenes, character shorts, product visuals, and social media clips. Creators can create individual videos within DomoAI without switching between platforms. There’s no need to export files, upload to other platforms, or repeatedly enter the same prompts. The original image always serves as an anchor point, so faces, motions, and your artistic style blend seamlessly into the dynamic visuals without shifting during playback.

Audio and video get generated together in a single step, including sound, effects, and music, which means a clip can go straight to publish without running it through a separate AI audio tool. You can keep whatever the model produces or drop in your own track instead.

If you want to push it further, you can send the video clip into DomoAI’s Talking Avatar and it’ll add lip-synced speech. It will become a dynamic shot, and then a character that speaks in precise synchronization with lip movements.

About DomoAI DomoAI is a generative AI video platform serving more than five million creators worldwide. The company is dedicated to developing a unified workflow for AI-generated video and image content.

Created by artist and director LeiKiè, PAPmusic continues its international evolution through animation, pop culture and visual storytelling

MILAN, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On June 5, artist and director LeiKiè launches “BREAKING PAPnews,” the new dance-pop single expanding the cross-media PAPmusic – Animation for Fashion universe.

Watch the official “BREAKING PAPnews” music video and enter the expanding PAPworld

Originally conceived as an unconventional animated film blending fashion, music, design, pop culture, and Italian artistic heritage, PAPmusic – Animation for Fashion has gradually evolved into an independent Italian entertainment project with a distinctive visual identity and narrative style.

Set between Milan, Rome, Venice, and Pompeii, the feature has built a colorful and surreal visual universe combining romantic comedy, music, fashion culture, and pop humor into a highly recognizable formula.

After receiving more than 50 international recognitions including awards and official selections, a long-running PAPtour across Italian cinemas, and the growth of an increasingly active community, PAPmusic now continues its evolution by officially opening the doors to the “PAPworld,” a creative ecosystem where cinema, music, animation, lifestyle, fashion, and pop culture merge together.

And this is exactly where “BREAKING PAPnews” enters the scene. ‘BREAKING PAPnews’ is not just a song. It’s the first signal coming from a much bigger universe that is still waiting to be discovered.”
— LeiKiè

LeiKiè’s new track is not presented as a simple song, but as the first signal of a broader cross-media universe.

Built on a high-energy electronic dance-pop aesthetic, the single mixes television language, social media culture and cartoon-inspired imagery into a deliberately ironic, hypnotic and instantly recognizable sonic and visual experience.

Throughout the video, LeiKiè continuously transforms through different pop identities and recurring looks that have progressively become part of the PAPworld imagery.

Most importantly, “BREAKING PAPnews” finally reveals the mystery that has intrigued the Italian audience for months.

The mysterious “PAPnews” announced on social media was not actually referring to the release of PAPmusic 2, as many fans had imagined, but to something called PAPgame.

It is this mysterious new project, PAPgame, that continues to build curiosity around the expanding PAPworld experience. While some of its imagery may evoke elements of a social or card-based game, the exact nature of the project intentionally remains undisclosed for now.

About LeiKiè  
Creator LeiKiè — a transformative artist, director and singer-songwriter who has made transmedia creativity and pop identity her distinctive signature — continues to build an autonomous and recognizable narrative universe where music, animation, fashion and surreal pop aesthetics constantly interact with one another.

About PAPmusic
PAPmusic – Animation for Fashion is an independent Italian cross-media entertainment project created by artist and director LeiKiè and produced by Not Just Music S.r.l., blending animation, music, fashion, pop culture and visual storytelling into a colorful and surreal universe known as the PAPworld.

A new phase of the PAPworld has officially begun.
More PAPnews coming soon.

BENGALURU, India, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Altimetrik, an AI-first digital engineering company, has been named a Product Challenger in the Design and Setup category, as well as the Optimization and Enhancement category of the ISG Provider Lens™ 2026 Global Capability Center (GCC) Services report.

The study finds that GCCs have moved well beyond their origins as cost arbitrage vehicles, with enterprises now building them as hubs for innovation, AI-led operations, and long-term competitive advantage. ISG’s assessment highlighted Altimetrik’s GCC-in-a-Box model, which replaces custom, time-intensive builds with a modular, repeatable deployment approach. Among the benefits delivered to clients, ISG noted 30% faster time-to-market for portal and IVR enhancements, more than 50% efficiency gains in automation and operational workflows, the elimination of more than 30,000 hours of effort generating more than $10 million in savings, and release cycles under 20 minutes with more than 95% regression stability.

“This recognition from ISG reflects the discipline behind our GCC-in-a-Box model and the strength of our partner ecosystem, including collaborations with OpenAI and Google Cloud, to bring frontier AI capabilities into regulated and brownfield enterprise environments where most business value resides,” said Gautam Samanta, Chief Commercial Officer at Altimetrik. “We are proud to partner with clients in building AI-enabled GCCs that are not only future-ready, but designed to create sustained enterprise value and long-term competitive advantage in an increasingly AI-first world.”

The report also recognized Altimetrik’s maturity-led go-to-market approach, which tailors engagements based on where a client sits in its GCC journey. For enterprises without existing centers, Altimetrik offers de-risked entry through co-investment and build-operate-transfer (BOT) constructs.

ISG cited Altimetrik’s proprietary engineering accelerators — including its MLOps fabric, observability tools, and GenAI-based SDLC accelerators — as assets that improve engineering productivity by 20-40% and reduce technical debt through standardized, reusable components.

Altimetrik’s emphasis on co-investment, risk-sharing, and outcome-based pricing further differentiated its approach. By tying commercial terms to business KPIs such as cost-to-serve, time-to-market, and revenue impact rather than headcount, the company aligns its incentives directly with client outcomes.

“Altimetrik brings an engineering-led approach to GCCs, combining product thinking, AI enablement, and flexible incubation models to help enterprises build and scale more value-driven delivery centers,” said Gaurang Pagdi, Lead Analyst at ISG.

The partnership aims to provide locally tailored solutions for China’s agricultural machinery market and accelerate agricultural technology innovation in China.

Under the agreement, the parties will establish ZF (Xuzhou) Machinery Co., Ltd., headquartered in the Xuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone (XETDZ), Jiangsu Province. This agreement marks a significant milestone in strengthening the partnership between the two companies and expanding their collaboration on agricultural equipment technology.

SINGAPORE, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On its 10th anniversary, decentralized wallet imToken announced its vision for the next decade, evolving from a trusted self-custody wallet into a personal control interface for the AI era.

Over the past decade, wallets have primarily helped users Store, Send, and Stake digital assets. As AI agents become increasingly autonomous, individuals will also need to manage identities, permissions, delegations, automated actions, and AI-driven decisions.

To address this shift, imToken introduced Sign as its fourth core product pillar.

For imToken, Sign goes beyond transaction signing. It represents the interface through which users express intent, grant permissions, define policies, delegate actions, and revoke access. Future signatures may authorize not only blockchain transactions, but also permissions, delegations, automated workflows, and AI agent actions.

imToken believes AI systems should operate only under authorization that is clear, verifiable, constrained, and revocable by users.

“Over the past decade, imToken has helped users truly own their digital assets,” said Ben He, Founder and CEO of imToken.

“In the next decade, we want to help people remain in control of their digital world. As AI becomes more capable of acting autonomously, control will become increasingly valuable. Our focus is not simply adding AI to wallets, but ensuring users stay in charge on an AI-native internet.”

As part of this strategy, imToken is upgrading its long-standing brand proposition from:

“Digital Assets, Under Your Control.”

to

“Your Digital World, Under Your Control.”

The company said the new vision extends user control beyond assets to identities, permissions, data, AI agents, and intelligent actions.

Looking ahead, imToken will focus on three priorities:

• preserving self-custody as a foundational principle;
• expanding security from transactions to permissions and delegated actions;
• building tools for permissions, policies, delegations, and revocations.

The company believes wallets are evolving from asset gateways into trusted control interfaces for human–AI collaboration.

“A wallet is more than an asset application,” Ben He added. “Keys are the root of control, signatures express authorization, permissions define boundaries, and revocation preserves freedom. We will continue building with a long-term focus on trust and user control.”

About imToken

Founded in 2016, imToken is committed to building a reliable, and easy-to-use digital wallet. It enables users to easily access and use 50+ major blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TRON. Through deep integrations with hardware wallet imKey, payment network Rivo, token swap platform Tokenlon, and DApp browser features, imToken provides trusted non-custodial wallet services to tens of millions of users across more than 150 countries and regions.
