HONG KONG, June 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chuangxinzhong, a precision marketing subsidiary of Yeahka (9923.HK), has become the top-ranked partner by model consumption among all agency-tier partners of ByteDance’s Jichuang 2.0 model.

According to Chuangxinzhong personnel, the company has deployed AI agents to automate manual processes since May, driving a 116% year-on-year increase in model usage. Meanwhile, its AI content production capacity rose by 33%, enabling the company to generate 30 to 40 video ad creative sets per day.

The figures mark a significant step forward for Chuangxinzhong in the commercialization of AIGC and the large-scale production of short-video ad creatives.

As short-video platforms such as Douyin continue to surge, traditional advertising models are facing mounting pressure. With consumer attention increasingly scarce, advertisers are widely grappling with rising costs and declining ROI. This is particularly true in fast-moving categories like beauty and apparel, where a single round of product testing often requires a dozen or more short-video assets, and the cycle from creative concept to launch can be lengthy.

For advertisers across the industry, ad placement has entered an era of “creative-driven growth”, especially in sectors such as finance, e-commerce, and local services, where a single creative concept is no longer enough to sustain growth — companies now need large volumes of high-quality content to test and optimize quickly.

Through its collaboration with the Jichuang 2.0 model, Chuangxinzhong’s monthly AI-generated ad spend rose from RMB 5 million to RMB 10 million, underscoring the high-frequency use of its AI content generation capabilities. Meanwhile, its daily output of 30 to 40 asset sets has directly translated into greater agility for advertisers responding to market shifts.

This is not the first breakthrough Chuangxinzhong has achieved in AI-driven marketing. The company previously ranked first in AIGC spend within the financial lead-generation sector during a digital human ad incentive competition hosted by ByteDance, where it also set an industry record: an 80% reduction in per-asset cost alongside a 391% week-on-week increase in consumption.

A representative from Chuangxinzhong said the company will continue investing in AI marketing infrastructure going forward, aiming to deepen the integration of LLM capabilities with advertising, user operations, and business growth. The goal is to offer enterprise clients an integrated solution spanning creative production, intelligent ad placement, and performance optimization.

As a key part of Yeahka’s broader AI strategy, Chuangxinzhong has spent recent years driving the adoption of AI technologies in marketing. Building on the group’s accumulated expertise in large models, algorithms, and content generation, the company has developed a product suite spanning digital humans, AIGC content production, and smart marketing.

From digital humans to AIGC content factories to intelligent marketing agents, AI is steadily reshaping how the marketing industry produces content. Chuangxinzhong’s top performance in ByteDance’s Jichuang 2.0 agency rankings reflects the strong, scalable capabilities and industry-leading position the company has built in commercial AI applications.

CHONGQING, China, June 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Life Pulse of Yangtze, an international co-production by Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation, Chongqing Broadcasting Group, and A+E Networks, is set to air on History Channel Japan on June 28.

Focusing on the stories of life along the Yangtze River and conveying the concept of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, the documentary aims to provide the world with a deeper understanding of the vivid practices and remarkable achievements in ecological protection along the Yangtze in the new era.

The Yangtze River basin is one of China’s most biodiverse regions and has been designated by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) as one of the world’s 35 priority ecological areas. Using high-quality imagery as its brush, the documentary paints a magnificent ecological panorama stretching 6,300 kilometers. Meticulously crafted over two years by a Sino-foreign joint production team, the documentary was produced to 4K ultra-high-definition standards. The production crew traveled across multiple provinces along the river, employing cutting-edge techniques—such as aerial cinematography, underwater filming, and FPV (First-Person View) drone shots—to capture the natural beauty and vibrant pulse of life along the Yangtze from diverse angles. The series consists of two episodes, each 45 minutes long.

The documentary strives to explore and share emotions and values that resonate with people worldwide. Through the lens, it captures the pulse of life—from Tibetan antelopes and elegant black-necked cranes on the “Roof of the World” to the “smiling angels” (finless porpoises) frolicking in the water and the ancient Chinese sturgeon—vividly conveying the philosophy of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. Simultaneously, the documentary offers an in-depth look at key ecological protection and restoration measures—such as the ten-year fishing ban, wetland restoration, smart port construction, and wastewater treatment—profoundly illustrating the “Chinese wisdom” of balancing economic development with ecological conservation. By weaving the principle of “jointly pursuing major conservation and avoiding massive development” into every story and frame, the documentary fully demonstrates China’s firm resolve and sense of responsibility as a major nation in promoting sustainable development and building a shared future for all life on Earth.

On May 12, 2026, the documentary premiered internationally on History Channel Korea. It will stream exclusively on Indonesian Dopreel OTT platform on June 12. Starting June 28, it will rebroadcast multiple times on the History Channel Japan. Broadcasts in countries such as Malaysia and Singapore are scheduled to begin in July.

GENEVA, June 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Adults with both epilepsy and hearing loss who use hearing aids may have a 23% lower risk of developing dementia than those who do not, according to new research presented at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress 2026.

Hearing loss is widely recognised as the largest modifiable risk factor for dementia. Yet whether hearing aids can reduce dementia risk remains debated.

To explore this, researchers from University Hospital Zurich and the University of Liverpool analysed electronic health records from more than 250 million patients in the TriNetX network.

They compared adults with hearing loss who used hearing aids with closely matched adults who did not. The analysis included the overall hearing-loss population as well as people living with epilepsy, stroke, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, migraine and osteoarthritis.

No significant association was found between hearing aid use and dementia risk in the overall population with hearing loss, nor among people with stroke, migraine, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, heart failure or osteoarthritis.

However, among adults with both epilepsy and hearing loss, hearing aid use was associated with a 23% lower risk of dementia. This corresponded to an absolute risk reduction of 2.7 percentage points over five years, equivalent to one fewer case of dementia for every 37 people using hearing aids.

The researchers believe the findings may be explained by differences in cognitive reserve – the brain’s ability to continue functioning effectively despite age-related changes or damage caused by disease.

Lead author Dr Carolina Ferreira-Atuesta explained: “Most people with hearing loss have enough cognitive reserve to absorb the extra effort caused by hearing impairment, so correcting it may not have a large effect on dementia risk. Epilepsy is different because cognitive reserve is often already reduced, meaning that removing one additional source of strain may have a greater impact.”

“There are several biologically plausible reasons why we might see this effect in epilepsy. The condition is associated with accelerated cognitive decline, temporal lobe epilepsy affects areas of the brain involved in hearing and some anti-seizure medications may worsen hearing,” added Dr Ferreira-Atuesta.

The findings have important implications for clinical practice, according to the researchers. Since people with epilepsy are already in regular contact with healthcare services, hearing assessments could be readily incorporated into routine care.
