Psychology-Based Insights to be Integrated Into Campaign Planning, Creative, and Optimization
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Super League (Nasdaq: SLE), a leader in playable media trusted by global brands to reach and activate gaming audiences through playable ads and gamified content, today announced an exclusive strategic partnership with Solsten, an AI-driven audience intelligence company specializing in psychology-based consumer insights. The collaboration expands Super League’s ability to deliver differentiated solutions that move beyond traditional demographics toward predictive audience understanding and insights-led campaign design.
Through the partnership, Super League gains select exclusivity to integrate Solsten’s proprietary psychographic data and predictive models directly into its campaign planning, creative development, and optimization workflows. Drawing on a proprietary data set built from opt-in assessments from millions of individuals, Super League can identify the underlying motivations and behavioral drivers, such as status orientation or independence, that shape engagement across interactive, social, and linear environments.
“The strongest marketing is rooted in understanding human motivation,” said Matt Edelman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Super League. “By combining Solsten’s AI-driven intelligence with our platform capabilities, we apply the psychology of play to the full spectrum of brand engagement. That insight informs how playable media and creative assets are designed and how marketing stories are told, enabling brands to connect more deeply and deliver stronger performance wherever people play, watch, and connect.”
Solsten’s technology applies generative AI to a large-scale, psychology-based data set, producing predictive insights that anticipate how specific audience segments are likely to respond to creative, mechanics, and messaging. Integrated into Super League’s execution model, these insights support decision-making, guide optimization while programs are live, and improve performance across awareness, engagement, and customer acquisition.
Senior marketing leaders consistently point to data as a primary driver of investment decisions. Research from The CMO Survey, conducted by Duke University in collaboration with the American Marketing Association and Deloitte, shows that CMOs continue to increase their emphasis on analytics, measurement, and customer insight as a means to improve effectiveness and return on investment. As channels proliferate and audiences fragment, the value of intelligence that explains why consumers behave as they do continues to elevate in importance. The partnership between Super League and Solsten is aligned with this shift, with early applications of Solsten’s models in select campaigns demonstrating meaningful gains in acquisition efficiency, conversion rates from paid media, and lower customer acquisition costs.
“Play offers a powerful lens into human motivation, attention, and decision-making,” said Joe Schaeppi, CEO & Co-founder of Solsten. “Partnering with Super League allows us to bring psychology-driven insight into real-world marketing programs, helping brands move beyond surface-level targeting and toward a deeper understanding of what drives engagement and action. Together, we’re enabling more informed creative, more relevant experiences, and more predictable performance across the marketing funnel.”
This collaboration enhances Super League’s ability to activate psychology-driven audience intelligence programmatically across channels, including in-game environments, mobile, social, digital video, and connected television. By aligning creative direction, targeting, and experience design around shared psychological drivers, Super League will be able to deliver branded programs that resonate more deeply with audiences while producing stronger outcomes for clients.
The partnership with Solsten underscores Super League’s continued focus on translating advanced data and AI capabilities into practical, scalable solutions with durable commercial value. As brands seek more effective ways to engage consumers in an increasingly interactive media landscape, the ability to understand and apply the psychology of play represents a structural competitive advantage.
