AI Is Rewriting How Brands Reach Customers -- and How They Defend Themselves. This Small-Cap NASDAQ Stock Is Quietly Betting on BothMay 28, 2026 11:22 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of Digital Brands Group, Inc.Digital Brands Group (NASDAQ: DBGI) just announced a new AI brand protection collaboration with a globally recognized outdoor performance label — its latest step in a deliberate pivot from apparel operator to AI-enabled platform.NEW YORK, May 28, 2026 /CNW/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary – Two AI stories are unfolding inside consumer brands at the same time. The first is well-known: AI agents are starting to do the shopping. According to Adobe Analytics, AI-driven traffic to U.S. retail sites jumped roughly 693% year-over-year during the 2025 holiday shopping season, and McKinsey now estimates the global agentic commerce opportunity could reach $3 trillion to $5 trillion by 2030. The second story is quieter but in many ways more urgent: the same AI tools that are reshaping discovery are also being used by counterfeiters and bad actors to scale brand abuse, fake listings, and IP infringement at levels traditional enforcement was never built for. The most recent OECD-EUIPO data estimates the global trade in fake goods at roughly $467 billion, and industry reporting suggests that as much as 83% of online counterfeiting now flows through social and e-commerce channels. Most public companies are picking one of those two stories to chase. One small-cap NASDAQ name has been steadily building toward both.On May 28, 2026, Digital Brands Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DBGI) announced a new strategic AI and brand protection collaboration with a globally recognized outdoor performance apparel brand. The release describes the partner as one of the leading premium outdoor brands worldwide — known for technical outerwear, an innovation-driven product ecosystem, and significant international retail presence. The initiative is being supported through DBG's existing relationship with SECUR3D Inc., the Vancouver-based AI brand protection company whose technology is expected to assist in identifying unauthorized digital assets, counterfeit-related listings, and broader online intellectual property concerns across digital marketplaces and emerging online channels."This collaboration represents another important step in Digital Brands Group's broader technology strategy," said Hil Davis, CEO of Digital Brands Group. "We believe AI-powered tools will become increasingly important as global brands continue navigating rapidly evolving digital commerce environments. Our goal is to continue building relationships and technology partnerships that create meaningful long-term value across the broader retail and consumer brand landscape."Why it matters: the new collaboration is not the first signal of where DBG is headed — it's the latest in a clearly accelerating sequence.In November 2025, Digital Brands Group introduced SECUR3D and its AssetSafe platform as the anchor of an AI-driven brand protection ecosystem. In March 2026, the Company released early data from its first major SECUR3D deployment — a partnership with retro backpack brand Herschel Supply Co. — where the initial scan phase alone identified counterfeit activity tied to an estimated $500,000 in losses from unauthorized listings and brand misuse. Just last week, DBG announced a separate partnership with applied AI company Renov AI, supported by the MITACS innovation ecosystem, to advance data intelligence, automation, and analytics across the Company's brand protection and eCommerce roadmap.Layered together, those moves describe a company that started as a digitally native vertical apparel brand and is being rebuilt — partnership by partnership — into something closer to an AI infrastructure play for modern consumer brands. The DTC apparel business gives the technology a live operating environment. The technology gives the apparel business a thesis institutional investors don't typically associate with small-cap fashion tickers.Founded in Vancouver, BC, SECUR3D is an AI-powered brand and intellectual property protection company helping brands, creators, and platforms detect and protect digital assets across online marketplaces and digital ecosystems. Through its proprietary technology suite — including AssetSafe, Sentry, and Sherlock AI — SECUR3D delivers an end-to-end protection layer for detecting unauthorized IP use, monitoring infringement risk, supporting enforcement intelligence, and preserving brand integrity and consumer trust across fashion, entertainment, gaming, and digital commerce.Digital Brands Group has signaled that this is the direction of travel. The Company sees AI-powered infrastructure and monitoring technologies becoming increasingly important for global brands seeking to protect intellectual property, strengthen digital trust, and better manage large-scale online retail environments — and intends to continue exploring a broader suite of AI partnerships across digital commerce, brand protection, operational intelligence, customer engagement, and emerging online ecosystems.DBG is operating in a category where capital is concentrated, the public-market opportunity is narrow, and large software incumbents are now openly competing on AI commerce and AI security positioning. A handful of NYSE- and NASDAQ-listed names have been moving in adjacent corners of the same opportunity over the last several weeks.Other Public Names Moving in the AI Commerce and Brand Protection StackKlaviyo (NYSE: KVYO) reported its first-quarter 2026 results on May 6, 2026, with revenue of $358 million (up 28% year-over-year), GAAP net income of $9 million (versus a $14 million net loss a year earlier), and a full-year revenue outlook raised to a range of $1.514 billion to $1.522 billion. The B2C marketing platform also introduced new AI capabilities through Custom Skills for its Customer Agent product, positioning itself as what it describes as an "Autonomous B2C CRM." On May 7, 2026, Klaviyo separately announced an expanded integration with Anthropic, extending its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server across Claude.ai and Claude Cowork to bring agentic marketing workflows directly into the AI tools brands are increasingly adopting.Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) has been one of the most aggressive incumbents in agentic commerce. Speaking on the Company's Q1 2026 earnings call, President Harley Finkelstein highlighted that AI-driven traffic to Shopify stores ran roughly 8x year-over-year in Q1 2026, while orders from AI-powered searches were up 13-fold. As of March 2026, Shopify made its Agentic Storefronts generally available to millions of merchants, giving them out-of-the-box access to major AI channels including ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, AI Mode in Google Search, and the Gemini app, all managed from the Shopify Admin.Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) has been pushing harder into AI-era trust and identity. On May 12, 2026, the cybersecurity leader unveiled Idira, a next-generation identity security platform designed for AI enterprises, with capabilities aimed at discovering, controlling, and governing human, machine, and agentic identities. Around the same time, the Company highlighted a frontier AI-focused partnership with Armadin that adds autonomous, AI-based offensive testing to its Unit 42 Frontier AI Defense stack — reinforcing PANW's positioning at the center of AI-era cyber defense for enterprises.AppLovin (NASDAQ: APP) reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.84 billion and net income of $1.21 billion in early May, beating consensus estimates and prompting bullish target revisions from UBS, Deutsche Bank, Macquarie, Wedbush, Oppenheimer, and Jefferies. The Company guided Q2 revenue to a range of $1.915 billion to $1.945 billion, with adjusted EBITDA of $1.615 billion to $1.645 billion — both above Street expectations. AppLovin's AXON AI advertising engine remains the core growth driver, with the Company also announcing that AXON will open to all advertisers worldwide in June 2026 — a shift management has described as ending more than a decade of operating AXON as a closed system.A Different Way to Get Public-Market ExposureMost of the well-known names in AI brand protection — MarqVision, Red Points, BrandShield, Corsearch — remain private. The publicly traded names sitting nearest to the theme are large-cap incumbents like Shopify, Klaviyo, Palo Alto Networks, and AppLovin, each playing different positions on the same AI-meets-commerce field. What makes Digital Brands Group unusual is the angle of attack: a small-cap NASDAQ ticker that is layering AI brand protection (SECUR3D), applied AI engineering (Renov AI), and AI-powered influencer marketing (Aha, formerly HeadAI) on top of a real direct-to-consumer apparel operating business that serves as the proving ground.The newly announced collaboration with a globally recognized outdoor performance brand adds a high-visibility validation customer in a category — premium technical outerwear — that has been a long-standing target for counterfeiters. If the Herschel scan-phase data is any indication of what the AssetSafe platform can identify at scale, the new partnership could become an important reference deployment as DBG continues onboarding additional brands into the AI brand protection ecosystem it is building.The Company has said its strategy is to continue building relationships and technology partnerships that create long-term value across the broader retail and consumer brand landscape. For investors looking for an unusual public-market angle on AI in commerce — one that touches both the growth side (how brands reach customers) and the defense side (how brands protect themselves) — that roadmap is one of the more differentiated setups on NASDAQ heading into the second half of 2026.CONTINUED READING: To learn more about Digital Brands Group, Inc.

Counterfeiters Stole an Estimated $500K From One Brand -- Now This NASDAQ Apparel Stock Is Building the AI That Fights BackMay 28, 2026 9:35 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Digital Brands Group, Inc.A new partnership with a globally recognized outdoor performance brand pushes Digital Brands Group (NASDAQ: DBGI) deeper into one of the fastest-moving corners of AI — protecting brands from an estimated $467 billion global counterfeit problem.NEW YORK, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary – Counterfeit goods are an estimated $467 billion global problem, based on the most recent OECD-EUIPO data, and the bulk of that trade has moved online. According to one recent industry report, 83% of online counterfeiting now takes place via social and e-commerce channels, up from 64% in 2015. For consumer brands, the question is no longer whether AI will be part of the defense — it's who builds it, who pays for it, and which public companies are quietly positioning themselves on the right side of the trade. One of the more interesting names to emerge in this race is a small-cap apparel platform that has been steadily transforming itself into something closer to an AI infrastructure play. On May 28, 2026, Digital Brands Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DBGI) announced a new strategic AI and brand protection collaboration with a globally recognized outdoor performance apparel brand — a company the release describes as one of the leading premium outdoor brands worldwide, known for technical outerwear, an innovation-driven product ecosystem, and significant international retail presence. The initiative is being supported through DBG's existing relationship with SECUR3D Inc., a Vancouver-based AI brand protection company whose technology is expected to assist in identifying unauthorized digital assets, counterfeit-related listings, and broader online intellectual property concerns across digital marketplaces and emerging online channels.It's the kind of announcement that on the surface sounds incremental. Under the surface, it fits a pattern.In March 2026, Digital Brands Group released early data from its first major AI brand protection deployment — a partnership with retro backpack maker Herschel Supply Co., also powered by SECUR3D's AssetSafe platform. During the initial scan phase alone, the platform identified counterfeit activity tied to an estimated $500,000 in losses from unauthorized listings and brand misuse. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has reported that more than 26% of all counterfeit product seizures in 2023 involved apparel and accessories — making the apparel category one of the highest-value targets for the AI brand protection sector."This collaboration represents another important step in Digital Brands Group's broader technology strategy," said Hil Davis, CEO of Digital Brands Group, in the announcement. "We believe AI-powered tools will become increasingly important as global brands continue navigating rapidly evolving digital commerce environments. Our goal is to continue building relationships and technology partnerships that create meaningful long-term value across the broader retail and consumer brand landscape."The strategic shift is hard to miss. DBG started as a digitally native vertical apparel brand focused on owning the customer's "closet share" through data and personalization. Over the past two quarters, the Company has layered in partnerships across AI-powered influencer marketing (Aha, formerly HeadAI), brand protection (SECUR3D), and most recently applied AI research and development (Renov AI, announced just last week with support from the MITACS innovation ecosystem). The cumulative effect is a small-cap apparel ticker that increasingly looks like a hybrid: part consumer brand operator, part AI-enabled platform.Digital Brands believes the growing intersection of AI, eCommerce, digital assets, and online marketplaces is creating significant new challenges for global consumer brands — particularly as counterfeit activity and unauthorized digital distribution continue expanding across online channels. The Company sees AI-powered infrastructure and monitoring technologies becoming increasingly important for global brands seeking to protect intellectual property, strengthen digital trust, and better manage large-scale online retail environments.Founded in Vancouver, BC, SECUR3D is an AI-powered brand and intellectual property protection company that helps brands, creators, and platforms detect and protect digital assets across online marketplaces and digital ecosystems. Its proprietary technology suite — including AssetSafe, Sentry, and Sherlock AI — provides an end-to-end protection layer for detecting unauthorized IP use, monitoring infringement risk, supporting enforcement intelligence, and preserving brand integrity and consumer trust across fashion, entertainment, gaming, and digital commerce.DBG is far from the only public company chasing the AI-meets-commerce thesis. A handful of NASDAQ-listed names have been moving in adjacent corners of the same opportunity, each with recent catalysts of their own.Other AI Commerce and Digital Trust Companies in MotionRezolve Ai (NASDAQ: RZLV) has been one of the most active names in the agentic commerce category. On May 12, 2026, the company announced a global strategic partnership with Tata Consultancy Services — the $30+ billion revenue global IT services and consulting leader — under which TCS will resell Rezolve's AI-powered commerce platform to enterprise clients worldwide. One week later, on May 19, 2026, Rezolve announced that peer-reviewed research accepted at the 34th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2026) validated its proprietary TraceWare technology as a verification layer for reliable agentic commerce, addressing what the Company describes as a 26% AI distortion problem facing global retail."This partnership marks a major commercial milestone for Rezolve and materially expands the Company's global route to market," Rezolve said of the TCS deal.Helport AI (NASDAQ: HPAI) is positioning itself in what it calls the "AI Labor System" category — an industrial-scale platform designed to manufacture, orchestrate, and deliver AI labor capacity for enterprise clients. On May 14, 2026, the company launched a next-generation AI-powered corporate website built around its flagship HyprX Expert Replication Engine, which is designed to digitize subject matter experts, operational processes, product knowledge, compliance workflows, and sales methodologies into interactive AI labor environments. On May 19, 2026, Helport AI followed up with the appointment of former U.S. Bank Executive Vice President Dr. Yu Pan as an independent director, and announced its intention to establish a board-level AI Governance Committee.Digital Turbine (NASDAQ: APPS) reported its fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 results in late May, posting higher sales and a reduced net loss alongside new fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $630 million to $650 million. The mobile growth platform also announced a series of fresh AI-focused collaborations — including partnerships with Google Cloud and Databricks — and a new European distribution agreement with Orange, all of which the Company is positioning as part of an AI-enhanced mobile growth platform strategy.VeriSign (NASDAQ: VRSN) sits at the infrastructure layer of digital trust. In its first-quarter 2026 results, the company reported revenue of $428.9 million, net income of $214.5 million, and raised full-year guidance, while paying a $0.81 per-share cash dividend on May 27, 2026. Management has been increasingly vocal about positioning VeriSign's domain registry as a "digital trust anchor" against misinformation and deepfakes, and CEO Jim Bidzos has teased new high-assurance security services that the Company expects to detail in coming quarters.An Apparel Stock With an AI Story Worth WatchingMost of the well-known names in AI brand protection — MarqVision, Red Points, BrandShield, Corsearch — are private. That makes the public-market opportunity narrow, and it makes the way a small-cap like Digital Brands Group is being repositioned worth paying attention to. The Company has effectively given investors a publicly traded vehicle that touches multiple layers of the AI-meets-commerce stack: brand protection through SECUR3D, applied AI engineering through Renov AI, AI-powered influencer marketing through Aha, and a direct-to-consumer apparel business that gives the technology a live operating environment.The latest partnership with a globally recognized outdoor performance brand adds something else: a high-visibility validation customer in a category — premium technical outerwear — that has been a long-standing magnet for counterfeiters. If the early Herschel data is any indication of what AssetSafe can identify at scale, the new collaboration could become an important reference deployment as DBG continues to onboard additional brands into the AI brand protection ecosystem it is building.The Company has signaled that it intends to continue exploring a broader suite of AI-powered technologies and strategic partnerships focused on supporting modern consumer brands across digital commerce, brand protection, operational intelligence, customer engagement, and emerging online ecosystems. For investors looking for ways to gain public-market exposure to the AI brand protection theme, that roadmap is one of the more unusual setups on NASDAQ.CONTINUED READING: To learn more about Digital Brands Group, Inc.

Digital Brands Group Announces Guidance for Full-Year 2026 Revenue of $55 to $65 Million and Free Cash Flow of $2.5 to $3.5 MillionMay 12, 2026 9:25 AM
Business Wire Additionally, DBG Announces Guidance for Revenue of $100 to $115 Million and Free Cash Flow of $10 to $12 Million For the Period of July 1, 2026 Through June 30, 2027 Digital Brands Group, Inc. (“DBG” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DBGI), a publicly traded company specializing in apparel and e-commerce, today announced that it forecasts 2026 revenue of $55 to $65 million and free cash flow of $2.5 to $3.5 million. Additionally, DBGI announces forecasted revenue of $100 to $115 million and free cash flow of $10 to $12 million for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Company believes that the increase in the collegiate licensing program creates a meaningful increase in its monthly revenues that tie to the school calendar, which starts with Tik Tok rush in August 2026. This is why the Company is providing its revenue and cash flow forecast over this period. The revenue and cash flow are driven by the Company’s collegiate licensing program, and the apparel licensing program through its previously announced agreement with Global Combat Collective (“GCC”) supporting existing U.S. program deliveries. As the Company has detailed in prior announcements, the collegiate licensing program continues to increase every month from two in December of 2025 to sixteen at the end of April 2026. The Company plans to cap the number of universities it will partner with to no more than thirty universities to ensure that it can provide deep level NIL integration and product execution. The Company believes that by partnering with major influencers like Katie Feeney and creating monthly product drops around major football home games or special sporting events, it will create compelling apparel stories that give back to the university’s NIL, especially female student athletes. The Company plans to announce several other influencer partnerships throughout the year. The Company has seen the success of several brands successfully driving revenue and cash flow by partnering with major influencers and celebrities. “We are excited to continue to add more universities to our NIL strategic initiative, which we believe clearly shows the success and traction we are creating for student athletes, students, alumni and universities,” said Hil Davis, the Chief Executive Officer of Digital Brands Group. Davis continued, “We have evolved our business model significantly based on where the Company can create a significant quality to value customer value proposition, whether that be collegiate licensing or institutional apparel programs. We believe the largest retailers and brands in the world create this value proposition, which creates meaningful long term shareholder value.” As announced last week, the Company has executed an apparel licensing program through GCC supporting existing U.S. program deliveries up to $125 million in potential aggregate contract value. GCC acts as a licensed commercial channel partner supporting product delivery opportunities associated with existing U.S. program frameworks. The Company expects to receive the first purchase orders no later than June this year.

DBGI Announces 18-Month Partnership with Social Media Sensation Katie Feeney and Her 14+ Million FollowersApril 23, 2026 8:40 AM
Business Wire
DBGI Corp. (NASDAQ:DBGI), a publicly traded company specializing in eCommerce and Fashion, today announced as part of its commitment to driving growth and innovation across digital and social platforms, AVO has signed Katie Feeney—a sports and lifestyle content creator with more than 14 million social media followers— to create content across AVO social and digital channels.
Katie Feeney is committed to supporting student athletes, especially female student athletes. She will leverage her 14+ million social media followers to raise awareness and NIL proceeds for all the student athletes and universities that AVO works with.
Katie’s involvement will kick off at the Penn State Blue -White weekend April 24th to 26th. AVO and Katie felt it was important to launch this important partnership at the university she attended and started her career.
AVO has raised over $17,000,000 in NIL in less than a year, and AVO believes that with Katie involved that number will easily double over the next twelve months.
Katie’s involvement with AVO will run deeper than just an ambassador, as Katie will also be a creative and strategic partner, raising awareness and funds for Thon (a Penn State event that raised over $18 million last year) and engaging with student athletes to share their stories and promote their success.
“I couldn’t be more excited about partnering with AVO. I love the clothes and everything they stand for! Bringing affordability and quality to students, all while donating a percentage of proceeds to the university's female athlete NIL fund. I can’t think of a better fit!” said Katie.
“As we stated in October of 2025, we are committed to our strategic initiative to aggressively expand AVO’s presence in the Name, Image, and Likeness (“NIL”) college apparel sector, a segment currently part of the global licensed sports merchandise market, which was estimated at $36.4 billion in 2024, according to Grand View Research,” said Hil Davis, CEO of Digital Brands Group.
Davis continued, “We have created tremendous momentum in less than 12 months with both the universities and the $17M+ raised for student athletes. We believe that this partnership with Katie and her involvement with student athletes will create an awareness and reach that will be unmatched by most brands in the collegiate world.”

Digital Brands Group Reports Initial Findings from AI Brand Protection Deployment with Herschel Supply Co.March 19, 2026 8:40 AM
Business Wire
Digital Brands Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:DBGI) (the “Company,” “Digital Brands Group” or “DBG”) today announced initial findings from its AI powered brand protection deployment with Herschel Supply Co., following the previously announced partnership supported by SECUR3D Inc.
Following initial deployment, Digital Brands Group has received its first findings report from the AI-driven monitoring system. During the initial search phase, the platform identified counterfeit activity representing more than $500,000 in estimated lost revenue exposure attributable to unauthorized listings and brand misuse across global digital marketplaces.
The findings highlight the scale and measurable financial impact of counterfeiting in today’s ecommerce environment. Traditional enforcement models rely heavily on manual detection and reactive takedown processes. By leveraging AI to continuously scan, analyze, and prioritize risks, Digital Brands Group can surface revenue exposure data at scale, enabling brands to respond more efficiently and proactively.
“This initial report demonstrates both the economic impact of counterfeiting and the power of AI-driven protection,” said Hil Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Brands Group. “If over half a million dollars in exposure can be identified during early deployment for a single brand, it underscores how meaningful scalable AI protection becomes for larger global brands. The same infrastructure can also support universities and NIL stakeholders, where protecting licensed merchandise, athlete names, images, and likenesses is increasingly critical.
As collegiate NIL ecosystems expand and officially licensed merchandise grows across digital marketplaces, Digital Brands Group believes the ability to monitor and defend intellectual property at scale will become increasingly important. The Company views the Herschel deployment as a proof point for how AI-based brand protection can be extended across consumer brands, universities, and emerging NIL-driven commerce environments.
Digital Brands Group expects to provide further updates as enforcement actions progress and as additional brands and rights holders are onboarded to its AI-powered platform.
