1win and MMA Legend Jon Jones Fulfill Over 100 Wishes in Global Holiday Initiative


WILLEMSTAD, CURAÇAO – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 January 2026 – 1win Charity, together with MMA legend Jon Jones, has successfully concluded its global campaign 1wish Season – a holiday initiative that brought together tens of thousands of people around the world through kindness, support, and real action.

Attachment-261760-789312068.319275).jpg

The campaign ran from December 1 to December 23, and invited participants to share personal wishes – not only for themselves, but also for their families, communities, and those in need. Each day, Jon Jones chose winners and helped turn their wishes into reality.

Campaign Highlights:

  • 60,000+ participants
  • More than 40 countries involved
  • $100,000 prize fund
  • 100+ wishes fulfilled

Among the most touching wishes were stories that went far beyond personal gifts. Together, 1win and Santa Jon helped bring joy to thousands of people worldwide – from gifting a gaming console to a young fan, to making a long-awaited family trip possible; from donating food and supplies to animal shelters, to equipping an entire volunteer rescue team with the tools they need to save lives. Each wish, big or small, carried a story – and every fulfilled one became a moment of real warmth this winter.

Unlike traditional holiday promotions, 1wish Season was built around the idea that winning is not just about luck. It is about listening, understanding, and offering meaningful support where it truly matters.

“What moved us the most was how many people wished not for themselves, but for others – for their families, their communities, and even strangers. This project reminded us that the real spirit of the holidays is about giving, listening, and showing up when it matters.”

– Jon Jones & 1win.

By connecting people across continents, 1wish Season became a reminder that generosity has no borders. Through small daily actions, the campaign demonstrated how collective participation can create lasting impact.

Cision Unveils “Inside PR 2026”: The Definitive Report on PR Trends, AI Adoption, and the Future of Communications

New research reveals how PR teams are adapting to resource pressures, media fragmentation, and the accelerating shift toward AI and measurable impact.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cision, a global leader in consumer and media intelligence, today released Inside PR 2026: Trends, Challenges, and What’s Next, a landmark study examining how PR teams are responding to one of the most transformative periods the industry has seen in decades. Drawing on insights from nearly 600 PR professionals across the U.S. and UK, the report highlights a profession balancing tradition and transformation: Creativity and storytelling remain foundational, even as agility, AI fluency, and clear business impact increasingly define success.

Cision Unveils “Inside PR 2026”: The Definitive Report on PR Trends, AI Adoption, and the Future of Communications

An Industry in Transition — and an Agility Gap Slowing Progress

The report reveals a profession operating under sustained pressure. Sixty percent of PR teams cite the rapidly shifting media landscape as their biggest challenge, and 58% point to resource pressure. Agency teams feel this pressure more acutely than their counterparts on in-house teams, with 71% reporting media fragmentation as a major hurdle, underscoring how journalist behavior and formats continue to evolve.

These pressures directly shape how agile teams feel they can be. While one in three executives describes their organization as “extremely agile,” only 14% of employees agree. Structural barriers such as team size and organizational design (63%), along with slow approvals (53%), are the biggest factors holding teams back.

Taken together, the findings point to a profession not short on ambition, but constrained by infrastructure. The opportunity for 2026 is clear: Agility requires investment, process simplification, and better access to real-time insights, not just intent.

What Matters Most in 2026: Awareness, ROI, and Revenue

Brand awareness remains PR’s guiding priority, cited by 36% of respondents. But the data shows a clear shift toward measurable commercial outcomes at the senior level. Executives (32%) and agencies (33%) are far more focused on revenue and ROI, while in-house teams and non-executives still lean heavily toward brand awareness, with around 40% naming it as their top priority.

Taken together, the findings point to a widening alignment gap, with senior leaders pushing for measurable results and frontline teams remaining anchored in brand-building.

AI Moves to the Center of PR Workflows

One of the strongest trends highlighted in Inside PR 2026 is the rapid integration of AI across PR activities. Ninety-one percent of professionals report using generative AI as part of their workflow, with 73% applying it to idea generation and 68% using it for writing and content refinement. AI is also reshaping data gathering and analysis, with 40% using AI-driven media monitoring and nearly a third relying on AI-powered reporting tools.

Yet the data makes one thing clear: Despite AI’s growing presence in PR, the human elements remain at the core of the profession. Storytelling was cited as the most in-demand skill for 2026 (59%), followed by media relations, strategic planning, and the ability to interpret data to guide decision-making – skills that ultimately rely on human interpretation, context, and strategic discretion.

The New PR Playbook: Creativity, Intelligence, and Technology Working Together

The evolution of PR is increasingly defined by the blend of craft and capability. Media monitoring remains the most relied-on tool for teams, supporting a more analytical approach to narrative management. Meanwhile, the skill sets PR teams value are becoming more multidisciplinary — combining creative storytelling with data literacy, strategic agility, and cross-functional collaboration.

Taken together, these changes point toward a more adaptive, insight-led, and AI-enabled model of communications.

“Inside PR 2026 shows a profession undergoing a profound evolution,” said Guy Abramo, CEO of Cision. “PR teams are being challenged to move faster, prove impact, and integrate AI responsibly — while continuing to deliver the creativity and narrative craftsmanship that make communications meaningful. The teams that can blend human insight with intelligent automation will be the ones who define the next era of PR.”

MICROIP’s flagship AIVO platform leverages high-reliability Edge AI to span four key domains—transportation security, smart agriculture, autonomous systems, and in-vehicle applications—demonstrating proven global deployments from edge-level sensing to on-device autonomous computing.

AIVO is MICROIP’s flagship platform under the CAPS framework and has already entered commercial deployment. Rather than focusing on model benchmarks or raw hardware performance alone, AIVO is designed to address practical constraints in large-scale Edge AI systems, including heterogeneous network conditions, limited edge compute resources, and long-term operational costs.

“CES is where AI must prove its real-world value,” said Dr. James Yang, Chairman of MICROIP. “AIVO was designed to operate reliably under real deployment constraints in transportation security, smart agriculture, and autonomous systems, enabling AI to move beyond proof-of-concept into daily operations.”

At the system level, AIVO adopts a distributed master–client architecture, executing real-time inference locally on edge devices while centralizing system management and decision logic. By transmitting structured inference results and metadata instead of raw video streams, the platform significantly reduces bandwidth requirements and maintains real-time responsiveness even in unstable network environments. AIVO also supports real-time heterogeneous multi-tasking, allowing multiple AI models to run concurrently on a single hardware platform with dynamic resource prioritization.

At CES 2026, MICROIP highlighted AIVO’s deployment across three high-reliability application domains. In transportation security, AIVO supports real-time monitoring across metro systems, railways, airports, and aviation environments, with alerts integrated into control centers or government security systems—enhancing response capability without increasing manpower requirements.

In smart agriculture, AIVO addresses labor shortages and aging workforces by enabling vision-based monitoring of livestock health and environmental conditions. Optimized for low-power operation and limited connectivity, the platform supports stable, long-term deployment in farm environments while translating expert agricultural knowledge into deployable AI models.

In autonomous systems, including AI drones and robotics, AIVO strengthens on-device autonomy for infrastructure inspection and disaster response. Even in GPS-denied or communication-limited environments, the platform enables real-time object tracking and dynamic obstacle avoidance, expanding the operational scope of autonomous systems in high-risk scenarios.

CAPS represents MICROIP’s broader software-driven hardware strategy, integrating AIVO, XEdgAI, and CATS (Custom ASIC Technology & Solutions) to enable software-defined hardware optimization validated by real-world workloads.

LONDON, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IBM (NYSE: IBM) and The All England Lawn Tennis Club today announced a multi-year renewal of their long-standing, landmark technology partnership. From the launch of the Wimbledon website in 1995 and the mobile application in 2009, to the first integration of enhanced AI-powered solutions in 2017, IBM and the All England Club have collaborated for 36 years to deepen global fan engagement across Wimbledon’s world-class digital platforms.

The successful partnership between IBM and the All England Club has long set the standard for creating engaging fan-facing features that have raised the bar for tech innovation in sport. Building on more than three decades of continuous innovation, the new agreement is focused on initiatives to expand the event’s global reach and achieve a deeper fan engagement across Wimbledon’s digital ecosystem in 2026 and beyond.

Teams from IBM and the All England Club work together year-round to co-create unique fan experiences – such as Live Likelihood to Win and Match Chat – that combine the significant quantity of data generated during The Championships with the deep AI capabilities of IBM watsonx. In 2025, these efforts contributed to a 16% year-on-year increase in engagement across all platforms, with more than 20 million fans closely following all the grass court action via the app and website. The app alone saw a 19% increase in engagement and received an outstanding average rating of 4.9 stars in app stores.

The partnership has also won multiple awards, including the All England Club being recognised as ‘Sports Organisation of the Year’ at the 2025 Sports Technology Awards, for the innovative use of AI and technology to transform the Wimbledon fan experience.

“We are delighted to have agreed a multi-year extension to our long-standing partnership with IBM,” said Usama Al-Qassab, Marketing & Commercial Director, The All England Lawn Tennis Club. “For 36 years, IBM and the All England Club have embraced innovation and created world-leading digital experiences to bring our fans closer to The Championships. As we look to attract the next generation of Wimbledon fans from around the world, the AI-powered capabilities of IBM will be key to ensuring our future digital experiences are relevant, personalised and engaging.”

“The All England Club is a visionary organisation, delivering one of the most globally recognisable properties in sport and broader culture. We are thrilled to continue working in lockstep as partners to serve up a world-class digital experience, driven by leading edge data and AI technology,” said Jonathan Adashek, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications, IBM. “Whether onsite at SW19 or following from any corner of the globe for years to come, hundreds of millions of tennis fans can rely on having interactive digital features, powered by watsonx, to stay connected to the beauty, drama and excitement of The Championships.”

According to a new global survey from IBM and Morning Consult released last summer, 86% of tennis fans worldwide see value in AI-powered features, with real-time insights and personalised highlights central to how they engage.

Together, IBM and the All England Club remain committed to developing new technologies that make The Championships more accessible and immersive for millions of fans, helping tennis to thrive exponentially on the global stage.
