Get Featured by Publishers Driving Holiday Amazon Sales

This holiday season, top publishers are hand-selecting a limited number of Amazon brands to feature across high-impact channels like gift guides and newsletters to reviews and listicles — reaching millions of ready-to-buy shoppers.

Here’s why it matters:

• Only a select number of 7–9 figure brands will be chosen

• Publisher placements put your products in front of shoppers already primed to purchase

Levanta is partnering directly with these publishers to connect them with brands positioned for holiday success.

If your brand qualifies, you could secure premium placements that drive measurable growth with predictable CAC.

• Apple is using an internal iPhone app called Veritas to prepare for a major Siri upgrade planned for 2026. The tool helps Apple’s AI team test features such as searching personal data, editing photos with voice, performing in-app actions (e.g. controlling apps directly), and maintaining conversational context over multiple turns.

• OpenAI is quietly testing a new routing layer in ChatGPT that swaps users into stricter model variants when prompts show emotional, identity-related, or sensitive content. The switch happens at the single-message level and isn’t disclosed unless users ask directly. The safety filter, originally meant for acute distress scenarios, now also triggers on topics like model persona or user self-description.

• Meta is pushing into robotics with Metabot, a project backed by Mark Zuckerberg and led by ex-Cruise CEO Marc Whitten. Unlike Apple, Google, or Tesla, Meta isn’t chasing hardware. Instead, CTO Andrew Bosworth says the plan is software other companies can license (just like Google did with Android).
