Groundbreaking AI, conceptualized as a new species of marketer and brought to life by just two teenage tech visionaries, sees initial access spots vanish almost instantly, signaling a new era in intelligent capabilities.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The tech world is intensely focused on Head, a newly unveiled AI Marketer being described as a new species of intelligence and claiming the title of the world's first of its kind. Within hours of announcing its early access phase, Head saw an unprecedented surge in interest, with over 50,000 potential users rushing to join the waitlist and all initial access spots being filled almost instantaneously. This immediate and overwhelming response highlights a significant appetite for genuinely advanced, next-generation AI.
Head is engineered to be more than an advanced algorithm; it's an AI Marketer taking form as a new species of intelligence, fully AI-orchestrated to manage the entire marketing lifecycle. It is designed to align with a brand's unique DNA and continuously evolve its strategies, from strategic inception to creative execution and multi-channel deployment—all without requiring direct human operational input for its core processes. This leap in AI capability was reportedly achieved by an exceptionally lean, AI-native team of just two exceptional young talents who were pivotal in bringing the core technology to fruition in a condensed timeframe of roughly three months. Early partnerships have already seen Head drive over $100 million in revenue for clients, underscoring its powerful real-world efficacy.
"We believe real change comes from those who dare to think beyond. That's the vision driving us, especially as a young team focused on building for the future, not just iterating on the past," stated Kay Feng, Founder and CEO of Head. "With Head, we're not just launching the world's first true AI Marketer; we're introducing a new class of AI. This isn't about creating just another tool; Head is the marketer—living, evolving, thinking. It's engineered to be faster, smarter, and tireless. This evolving intelligent species is designed to set a new benchmark, and our ambition is to redefine what's possible not only in marketing but in how humans collaborate with AI to achieve transformative outcomes."
Head's unique capabilities include self-directed market research, real-time consumer sentiment analysis, and automated high-impact content creation. This new class of AI is sparking considerable discussion within the tech community about the future trajectory of AI development, the potential of lean, agile teams, and the responsibilities that come with such powerful emerging technologies. As anticipation builds, the industry eagerly awaits broader access.

HOTLIST is a expert-curated list reflecting the evolving values of the market at each stage of development. The selection process combines the expertise of a prestigious advisory council comprising both domestic and international experts, based on key criteria including quality, innovation, social impact, and sustainable growth potential.
Last year, HOTLIST 2024 made a strong impression on the tourism, hospitality, and service community by recognising more than 40 brands and 12 inspiring individuals across 28 categories spanning hospitality and resorts, destinations, technology, and experiential initiatives. The year also marked the first time HOTLIST expanded into a professional event series, featuring The Insiders Forum and the Honor Ceremony, attracting over 700 guests including senior business leaders and experts from various fields.
HOTLIST 2025: From Seed to Harvest
Entering 2025, HOTLIST is developed under the theme "From Seed to Harvest" inspired by rice, a symbol deeply rooted in Vietnam's wet-rice civilisation and cultural identity. From planting ideas and nurturing resources to harvesting sustainable achievements, this metaphor reflects the authentic development journey of projects, brands, and destinations within the tourism and hospitality industry.
At a time when the tourism sector faces multiple challenges such as climate change, shifting traveller behaviour, and global competition, the spirit of "From Seed to Harvest" underscores the importance of long-term vision, perseverance, and adaptability.
This year, HOTLIST 2025 introduces a public voting component in the final evaluation stage, enabling the community and industry professionals to participate directly in the selection process. Beyond fostering engagement, this initiative also provides an opportunity for audiences to share their firsthand experiences with the shortlisted brands and projects.

Each category aims to identify exemplary individuals and brands that play a guiding role in shaping the future of Vietnam's tourism and hospitality industry.
This year's list continues to acknowledge well-established brands such as Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An; Topas Ecolodge; Six Senses Ninh Van Bay; P'apiu Resort; Wink Hotels, among others. It also introduces international brands that have made a positive impact on the Vietnamese market, including voco Quang Binh Resort by IHG, Park Hyatt Phu Quoc, and Hyatt Place Halong Bay, Bai Chay. In the Aviation category, STARLUX AIRLINES was selected for its premium flight experience.
The expansion and diversification of award categories reflect HOTLIST's commitment to comprehensively capturing industry dynamics, while encouraging responsible development models that respect local identity and generate positive social impact.
As part of its mission to deliver practical value to the tourism industry, HOTLIST 2025 will host The Insiders Forum in Hanoi (7 January 2026, Sheraton Hanoi West) and Ho Chi Minh City (19 January 2026, JW Marriott Hotel & Suites Saigon). The forums will gather business leaders, experts, and researchers to share insights and discuss key topics shaping tourism landscape.
On 19 January 2026, The Honor Ceremony will take place in Ho Chi Minh City to officially recognise and present certificates to the brands, projects, and individuals featured in HOTLIST 2025. The event will also serve as a B2B networking platform for industry stakeholders.
