Terrific appoints senior Havas executive Alberto Canteli Suarez as President and Chief Commercial Officer. 24 Sep, 2026, 17:00 IDT Dubai-based executive will lead global growth for the social commerce infrastructure company as it expands into the Middle East DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Terrific today announced the appointment of Alberto Canteli Suarez as President and Chief Commercial Officer, effective September 1, 2026. Canteli joins from Havas, where he spent 26 years in leadership roles across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia. Working with founder and CEO Israel Grintz, he will lead Terrific's global commercial strategy, enterprise growth, agency and operator partnerships, and market expansion. The Middle East expansion starts with the UAE. Terrific is an international company with bases in Dubai, Mexico City and Paris, clients across North America, Latin America and Europe, and partnerships in Brazil, Japan and India. Terrific is built as infrastructure, not as a single app or channel. It brings the formats audiences use on social platforms, from short video and live streams to feeds, polls and chat, to a company's own website, and makes every moment shoppable. Brands turn attention into conversion. Media companies add participation and a new monetization layer. Both own the audience, the content, the data and the transaction. "Platforms rent your audience back to you at best, and to your competitors at worst," said Grintz. "Companies need to own their data, own their content and run their own community. We built Terrific so they can. Alberto has spent his career on the side of the industry that buys attention, and he knows why ownership matters." "I chose Terrific because it addresses a real commercial problem," said Canteli. "Brands and media companies create enormous attention through social content, but they need to turn that attention into conversion, data and long-term customer value inside properties they control. I am joining to build, learn and scale alongside Israel and the team." Canteli works alongside Chief Business Officer John Edward Arnott Lynn, former CEO of VML Latin America and Grey Group Spain. About Terrific Terrific is owned social commerce infrastructure for brands, retailers and media companies. It lets them run their own social experience, from live shopping to shoppable video and interactive feeds, on the websites they own, keeping the audience, data and revenue. Its AI layer helps plan, run and optimize every experience. Learn more at www.terrificlive.com. SOURCE Terrific Innovation

Terrific Innovation announces strategic expansion into Japan with BrandCloud partnership. News provided by. Partners with BrandCloud to Accelerate Social Commerce Adoption in the Japanese Market and Make It a Standard Tool for Japanese Brands TEL AVIV, Israel and TOKYO, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Terrific Innovation ("terrific"), a social commerce infrastructure platform, today announced its strategic expansion into the Japanese market through a partnership with BrandCloud, Inc., a leading digital branding and reputation management company in Japan. Through this collaboration, the companies aim to support Japanese brands in adopting social commerce and to establish it as a standard, repeatable tool for modern digital selling. Japan is one of the largest untapped opportunities in social commerce globally. While e-commerce penetration continues to grow, social and live-driven shopping remains early compared with markets like China and Southeast Asia. NTT Com Online Marketing Solutions reports that live commerce awareness in Japan stands at 31.9%, yet more than 54% of viewers have already made a purchase signaling a strong latent demand for better tools, formats, and infrastructure. Terrific believes Japan's unique mix of high brand loyalty, strong creator culture, and deep engagement with entertainment content makes it a natural next market for social commerce at scale. The terrific's platform enables brands, retailers, and media companies to turn video into a direct revenue channel through live shopping, shoppable video feeds, and interactive timelines embedded on owned digital properties. "Japan has a culture where entertainment, community, and brand loyalty coexist," BrandCloud stated in its release. "This strongly aligns with the future of social commerce envisioned by Terrific, and through this partnership we aim to help establish a new standard for social commerce in Japan." As part of the expansion, Terrific partnered with BrandCloud to introduce its platform to Japanese brands, creators, and media companies in a SaaS model. The platform requires no app installation, integrates with existing e-commerce systems, and allows companies to operate fully under their own brand, with full control over audience data. "Japan is one of the few markets where community, content, and commerce naturally intersect," said Israel Grintz, CEO of Terrific. "What has been missing is infrastructure that lets companies own the experience, the data, and the revenue. That is exactly what we built terrific to do. It's about building social commerce in a way that fits Japan. BrandCloud brings local trust, distribution, and market understanding. We bring the platform and the playbook. Together, this is a real market entry." added Grintz. Terrific already works with global brands such as Samsung, Reebok, Lee Cooper, Smeg, and Homecenter, as well as major media groups including Bloomberg, Claro Sports, and Big Brother. The company sees Japan as a long-term strategic market and plans to work closely with local partners to adapt formats, monetization models, and media use cases to Japanese audiences. Terrific is a global social and video commerce technology company that helps brands, retailers, and publishers turn video into a direct revenue channel. Its infrastructure-level platform, terrific, powers live shopping, shoppable video feeds, and interactive video timelines that can be embedded into owned websites and apps. Terrific is built to give clients full control over their audience, data, and brand experience, while integrating with existing e-commerce and media infrastructure. Headquartered in Israel, Terrific operates globally, working with leading commerce and media organizations across multiple regions to redefine how content, community, and commerce come together.
