How Jennifer Aniston’s LolaVie brand grew sales 40% with CTV ads
For its first CTV campaign, Jennifer Aniston’s DTC haircare brand LolaVie had a few non-negotiables. The campaign had to be simple. It had to demonstrate measurable impact. And it had to be full-funnel.
LolaVie used Roku Ads Manager to test and optimize creatives — reaching millions of potential customers at all stages of their purchase journeys. Roku Ads Manager helped the brand convey LolaVie’s playful voice while helping drive omnichannel sales across both ecommerce and retail touchpoints.

📢 The Signal Behind the Noise
Today's five stories all trace back to the same underlying question: if AI companies won't fully trust themselves to catch their own mistakes, why should anyone else? Musk wants competitors grading each other's homework. Sanders and Bannon want Congress watching everyone's homework. Exein and Eve Security are both proof that an entire new industry is forming just to catch AI when it goes somewhere nobody intended. And Tilly Norwood is the reminder that even a promotional interview can turn into evidence of exactly the kind of unsettling, hard-to-explain behavior everyone else this week is trying to build guardrails against. Nobody in today's edition trusts AI to police itself completely. The real story is how many different, competing solutions are showing up to fill that gap all at once.
