AI-Driven Brand Threats Grew More Than 16x in Q1 2026 as Fake Websites and Scam Ads Surge

Key People Moves

▤ Summary

MarqVision reported a dramatic surge in AI-driven brand threats in Q1 2026, with overall detections up more than 16x year-over-year, fake website detections up 47x, and paid ad abuse tripling. The company announced two senior hires: Kaleigh Miller to lead global ecosystem and platform strategy (joining from Amazon and TikTok Shop) and Dana Herstein to lead global sales (with revenue leadership experience including People.ai). MarqVision is expanding beyond takedown-based enforcement toward a connected brand-protection model that combines AI detection, deeper platform partnerships, business-impact intelligence, and its MarqLaw legal services. The moves target faster, cross-channel response to interconnected counterfeit, impersonation, and scam networks that now scale with generative AI.
