Canton, MA (PRWEB) August 22, 2017

Rentex, one of the nation’s largest, most established wholesale providers of audio visual & production rental equipment, is pleased to announce that it’s been recognized by Inc. magazine as one of the 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the country for the fourth consecutive year. Rentex placed at number 4089 on the 2017 list.

As an Inc. 5000 honoree for four years in a row, Rentex joins a group of special distinction among some of the most competitive businesses in the country. Of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied for a spot on the Inc. 5000 list, only a fraction have made the list more than once. Only 1 in 10 Inc. 5000 list honorees have made the list four times.

Richard Flaherty III, President and CEO of Rentex, was effusive about the company receiving the distinction for four years in a row, “Small- and medium-sized companies are a vital driver of the American economy, and it’s a great honor to have earned a place among this dynamic community.

Meet the exceptional women of the Corn Producers Association of Texas, who journeyed from city to farm, and discovered that farming today is based on advance science and sophisticated technology that maximizes production while conserving resources.

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 22, 2017

In 1920, one out of three Americans lived and worked on farms and ranches. Today, that’s about one out of fifty. The change from a rural, agricultural nation to one that is mostly urban and industrialized has been constant over the past century. But for every trend, there are exceptions. Recently, the Corn Producers Association of Texas teamed with YourUpdateTV to discuss a group of women who grew up in cities, moved to farms, and are now actively engaged in growing our food.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: http://bit.ly/2vTtiYw

These women are part of an organization known as CommonGround, a group of women farmers who are having conversations about the food they grow and how they produce it. They bring a unique perspective to the conversation about our food, as they grew up knowing very little about farming. Moving to the farm, they discovered they held many misconceptions about where food comes from and how it is grown.

They learned that in order to survive these days, farmers must constantly adopt new techniques and technologies to increase production, while reducing water use and energy consumption. They use everything from satellite imagery to mobile-app controlled equipment. The Natural Resources Conservation Service along with the Soil and Water Conservation Districts work together to provide farmers with expert advice, technical assistance and information the latrst research findings that help them become better farmers and take care of their land.

About Corn Producers Association of Texas

The Corn Producers Association of Texas promotes and protects the interest of Texas corn producers. Our mission is to build a strong organizational support system and work as a legislative advocate to further the interest of corn producers and the corn industry throughout Texas. By joining together, we can continue to make a positive impact for our entire industry and our state. Click here to ensure your voice is heard by joining the CPAT.

Product development company Tristar Products, Inc. accepts invention ideas from both loyal customers and the general public. The company is currently on the lookout for the next great invention or innovation.

Fairfield, NJ (PRWEB) August 22, 2017

Product development company Tristar Products, Inc. accepts invention ideas from both loyal customers and the general public.

Tristar, Inc., maker of the customer review favorite Power Pressure Cooker XL, turns ordinary, every day ideas into branded products sold nationally and internationally on TV, via social media, and in retail stores. The DR TV invention company attracts inventors of all experience levels seeking idea help. Tristar helps transform these ideas from concept to creation.

“We would love to hear from anyone seeking help with an idea or invention. With over 25 years of success dominating the direct response industry, full marketing department and state of the art, 65,000 square-foot studio, we have the brainpower and expertise to turn any product invention into a category leader,” says Keith Mirchandani, President and CEO of Tristar Products, Inc. “One of our best-selling, five-star started as an ingenious idea for a wire-free bra that provides comfort to women of all sizes. Soon after its launch, The Genie Bra became the number one selling seamless bra.”

Everyday people have worked with Tristar to develop ideas and prototypes. Some of Tristar’s success stories include the Ab Roller, Flex-Able Hose, and the Perfecter. Ab Roller inventor Don Brown created his first prototype with a bent paper clip. Not long after he partnered with Tristar, the Ab Roller became the number one fitness product in the world. Local Pennsylvania salon owner and stylist Maria McCool designed a unique styling tool for her clients that creates volume, curl, or straightens easily in a short amount of time. With Tristar’s help, she developed world-wide international sensation Perfecter Fusion Styler. Gary Ragner hated rolling up his garden hose so he designed one that retracts by itself. He partnered with Tristar and together they created a completely new category on television and in retail home and garden departments: the Flex-Able Hose.

“Tristar is proud to announce its call to any person out there with a good idea or prototype for an amazing invention,” says Norah Alberto, Director of Global Brand Communications. “Here at Tristar, our mission is always to bring the highest quality, most innovative products directly to consumers at the greatest value.”

Many of Tristar’s products are created based on customer reviews offering new ideas for Tristar’s already best-selling inventions. The 6 and 8 qt Power Pressure Cooker line now includes a 10 qt family size version after Tristar responded to consumer requests for a jumbo size. The newly released Copper Chef XL Pan is also a result of customer requests for a family size version of the best-selling Copper Chef non-stick Pan.

Civicom Chatterbox is an online community bulletin board that can be used for asynchronous focus group discussions. The platform allows users to input their insights in the form of text, images, and videos, through various in-platform activities up to an extended period.

It has gamification tools that effectively aid researchers in driving respondent engagement, robust analysis and reporting tools that researchers can use to extract insights, and it is designed to be user-friendly, mobile-ready, and accessible to a global demographic.

Examples of applications with these new languages include online communities of Orthodox Rabbis sharing perspectives on policies and positions on various issues in Hebrew, Taiwanese stakeholders discussing the international export of crude oil and petroleum products from the Middle East, and the South Korean population commenting on the role of the United States amidst the North Korean threat in the peninsula.

This multi-language customization capability allows study designers to cater to groups such as immigrant or multilingual communities that have yet to or do not fully communicate in English.

McCants features at first edition of Tech Talks 2017, expands her strategic marketing and communication firm

Newark, NJ (PRWEB) August 22, 2017

Yesterday the Military Park Partnership, Code for Newark and the City of Newark Office of Technology Information hosted 2016 Top 25 Leading Woman Entrepreneur and 2017 Top Woman in Public Relations, Cheryl McCants as a featured panelist for the first edition of its Tech Talks series in downtown Newark, New Jersey. Launched last year to engage Newark residents, professionals, and students in discussions on technology, Tech Talks in Military Park offers device demos, giveaways, and meet-ups with representatives from large tech companies and small startups in and around the greater Newark, NJ area.

McCants joined Stephanie Macias-Arlington, of the New Jersey Institute of Technology Enterprise Development Center on the Women in Tech panel to discuss their experiences in tech, business and the overall state of women in technology. McCants began her undergraduate education in biomedical engineering and continued her post-graduate studies and career in business and marketing communication. In 1989 she founded Impact Consulting Enterprises, a strategic communication and marketing firm that has served clients across a myriad of industries, including telecommunications, bio-pharmaceuticals, development and more.

“At Impact, we spend all of our energies making sure that the stories about what is happening with women in tech are shared and are known. Our work in general is aimed at Latinos, Asians, African Americans, and millennials, but women are our primary target,” McCants shared during the event. “The goal is to make sure that there are opportunities and conversations being had so that the public gets the information they need to make educated and intelligent decisions regarding women and girls, both as consumers and as leaders.”

This quarter, Impact has made several exciting steps toward increasing its capacity to tell these and other stories. This month, Interise and the New York & New Jersey Minority Supplier Development Council (NYNJ-MSDC) honored McCants at a dinner ceremony for her completion of its Accelerate2020 Newark Small Business Accelerator program. Based on the Interise StreetWise 'MBA'™ curriculum, the program trains small business leaders in business strategy, financial analysis, access to capital, marketing, sales strategy, talent, contracts, growth planning, and more. McCants was awarded a certificate in Small Business Entrepreneurship backed by the Boston University Entrepreneurial Management Institute.

Joseph Salamone, Impact’s summer 2017 intern, also increased his capacity and knowledge for entrepreneurship and communications. During his internship, Joe assisted with client events, Impact content and branding, and the upcoming redesign of Impact’s website. He made meaningful contributions to the Impact team and will graduate from The College of New Jersey this December with an interdisciplinary business degree.

Also this summer, the Greater Newark Convention and Visitor’s Bureau enlisted Impact to create a series of ads welcoming visitors from the United Kingdom and India to shop, play and stay in Newark, New Jersey. Impact has built an impressive track record for telling stories that showcase the positive things Newark has to offer, and the firm is pleased to continue spreading the message through this opportunity.

In July, Impact co-sponsored Newark Regional Business Partnership’s signature summer networking event, Let’s Do Lunch, where approximately 100 business leaders, entrepreneurs, and trade organization representatives mingled over lunch at Nico Kitchen + Bar in downtown Newark. The firm donated a 90-minute professional consultation with McCants as a raffle prize, which was awarded to Mark Hahn, managing director of printing and packaging company, Graphic Arts Advisors. Hahn will receive a strategic marketing analysis and business development insight to set him on the path toward expanding Graphic Arts Advisors.

Impact Consulting Enterprises is a New Jersey-based, strategic business development firm with international reach that provides strategic communication, marketing and public relations support to enterprises of all sizes, both public and private. Past clients include the U.S. Department of Transportation, Newark Community Economic Development Corporation, Suven and many more.

Up and coming companies to join forces raising funds through new G2 Gives initiative that exchanges reviews for donations

Chicago (PRWEB) August 22, 2017

G2 Crowd, the world’s leading business solutions review platform, today announced a campaign with New Story Charity to raise $480,000, that will be used to build a community of 80 homes in Haiti for families affected by the 2010 earthquake. The initiative will be led by G2 Crowd’s philanthropic program, G2 Gives, and will donate $10 dollars per business software or service review collected and verified.

G2 Gives aims to provide a unique bridge between the business world and the nonprofit community and directly reflects G2 Crowd’s commitment to compassion and authenticity. G2 Gives' review campaigns further G2 Crowd’s mission of bringing transparency to the B2B marketplace and support worthy causes around the world.

“When I visited Haiti, I was deeply saddened by the amount of struggle that the people were still experiencing, more than 5 years after the earthquake,” said Tim Handorf, co-founder and CEO, G2 Crowd. “I wondered how we could do more to help these people. By teaming up with New Story, we’ll be able to have a direct impact on the quality of life for an entire community. We couldn’t be more excited to watch this initiative take off and deliver for these families.”

G2 Crowd and New Story plan to build a community of 80 homes. Each home is built by local labor and built with locally sourced construction materials. The intent is to stimulate the economy and teach valuable skills to members of the community. The homes are designed with the input of their future inhabitants to best provide solutions to the problems they face every day.  

“Having a safe home is vital to somebody’s overall quality of life. When you build a home for someone who has been living under a tarp, or on dirt floors, you’re drastically decreasing their exposure to disease, increasing a child’s ability to learn, and overall, allowing the family to focus on future opportunities,” said Brett Hagler, co-founder and CEO, New Story Charity. “When G2 Crowd approached us about this partnership, we were thrilled. The impact that 80 homes will have on this community is enormous.”

New Story Charity was co-founded in 2014 by Brett Hagler, Mike Arrieta, Alexandria Lafci, and Matthew Marshall. The charity builds homes and transforms slums into communities to provide families and individuals with safety and consistency. One hundred percent of funds raised go directly toward hiring local workers, buying local materials, and building the homes. This 100 percent commitment gives donors transparency to the process and confidence that their donation will make a direct impact.

This partnership between G2 Crowd and New Story Charity furthers G2 Gives in its mission to connect the business community with nonprofits.  Previously G2 Gives has raised funds to support initiatives like World Water Day and Chicago Technology Academy.

Following new product announcements in 2016, and the addition of new service offerings in the first half of 2017, Terma Software has reached a new milestone. The company announced today that 2017 gross bookings to date marked the highest in the company’s history.

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) August 22, 2017

Following new product announcements in 2016, and the addition of new service offerings in the first half of 2017, Terma Software has reached a new milestone. The company announced today that 2017 gross bookings to date marked the highest in the company’s history.

“The strategy we announced in January has worked,” commented Shane Hade, CEO of Terma. “We made a conscious decision, based on our customer’s needs, to focus this year on providing a wide range of solutions, including direct product support, workload optimization services, product implementation and full account management. Now, due in large part to the availability of our “Workload Service Model (WSM™)” and increasing sales of our newest predictive analytics products, TermaVISION™ and TermaINSIGHT™, we are seeing the increase in sales that we anticipated.”

“The implementation of Terma’s Workload Service Model has enabled one of our customers, a large financial services company based in California and Texas, to gain insight into 38 disparate business areas,” Hade continued. “The WSM engagement included company-specific product implementation, product training for all business areas, SLA management, and recommendations for best workload practices.”

Jim Anderson, V.P. Corporate Strategy at Terma went further in explaining the company’s successful strategy. “2017 has marked the company’s greatest innovative accomplishments in the past several years. We have always been the ‘go-to’ vendor for cross-platform workload predictive analytics. But we knew that we needed to respond to a growing need for integration with not only market-leading workload products, but also the lesser known products in the marketplace, as well as home-grown versions that our customers depend on. So early this year we developed and introduced the first generic API into our predictive analytics platform. It was quickly brought on board by one of the largest Fortune 500 financial services firms in New York who has already experienced great success with integration into their environment. So much so, that Terma has been invited to participate in the company’s Enterprise Workload Strategic Direction meetings to help define their course going forward.”

“We approached the project in phases,” continued Anderson. “Phase 1 consisted of development of the API cross platform support for both their Mainframe and distributed environments, capturing workload data and providing the predictions that only TermaUNIFY™ can deliver. Most importantly, the new API allows our customer to integrate workload predictive analytics with their own business service data for the first time. Now we have embarked on development of Phase 2 which, in support of Apache Kafka, will allow real-time streaming data distribution and management. It’s a game changer when it comes to predictive analytics in the workload environment.”

And, according to Hade, that’s not all. “We have maintained our leadership role in workload predictive analytics by continuing to expand our capabilities and support of the technologies used by our customers. As such, our IWS™ integration for distributed environments is finalized and being beta-tested in the field while we have initiated development for the mainframe IWS workload product. Plus, support for Control M™ from BMC is also in the beta-testing phase. It’s been a very exciting, productive year so far for Terma and we are gratified by the enormous acceptance of our products and services in the marketplace.”

About TERMA

Over the past decade Terma has developed the industry’s most comprehensive knowledge of workload data and the ability to leverage that understanding to provide measurable predictive analytics. Terma’s products, TermaVISION, TermaUNIFY (previously know as ‘JAWS’), and TermaINSIGHT, enable companies to optimize their workload processing and realize more value from their automation tools by providing SLA management, forecasting, predictive analytics for workload, and reporting. The products ensure that companies can lower their costs and improve the reliability and performance of their mission critical workloads.

Gravity4, a leading big data marketing cloud platform, introduced, LydianCoin Pte Ltd., its Singapore limited company (“Lydian”). Lydian will provide pre-paid digital advertising services for the blockchain community, accessible by a new Lydian cryptographic token.

Miami, Florida (PRWEB) August 22, 2017

Gravity4, a deep learning marketing cloud platform, introduces its subsidiary division, LydianCoin Pte Ltd., a Singapore limited company (“Lydian”). Lydian has licensed and has forked the G4 Marketing Cloud to provide pre-paid digital advertising services for the blockchain community, accessible by the Lydian cryptographic token.

The name “Lydian” pays homage to the first human civilization to use currency.

Lydian is currently developing blockchain driven technologies to reduce advertisement fraud and to maximize the effectiveness of advertiser marketing expenditures. It aims to address the trust and transparency issues affecting digital marketing platforms using blockchain- distributed ledgers and industry exclusive data sets to democratize trust at scale. Ad fraud has plagued digital advertising for years. Many corporate strategies have attempted to avoid, circumvent, or innovate around ad fraud. However, the ad tech ecosystem has continued to suffer over the years from bot traffic, and falling rates of return on advertiser investment due to a lack of transparency and a host of rent-seeking intermediaries

Earlier in the quarter, Gravity4 announced its artificial intelligence (AI) powered marketing cloud, Mona Lisa, for online advertisers that uses machine learning’s predictive solutions to forecast the highest performing media channels within the programmatic ad placement ecosystem. Mona Lisa gives marketers the ability to control their consumer data as it applies deep learning algorithms to data aggregated through Gravity4’s proprietary app center to maximize ad placement efficacy.

This week, the Gravity4 company has announced the launch of Lydian, a utility-token which will offer cryptocurrency-enabled and A.I. driven digital advertising services especially focused to curb ad fraud. As reported by AdWeek, in 2016, digital ad fraud resulted in $7.2 billion loss industry-wide. This year, digital ad fraud is expected to cost brands over $16 billion. Lydian token enabled advertising will provide the (exclusive?) opportunity to access anti-ad fraud features found in the MonaChain, currently under development by Gravity4, which expects to leverage blockchain technology to track advertising market data, use that data to curtail ad fraud and maximize brand return on investment.

“As technological awareness of blockchain continues to increase, every sector of business stands a chance to be disrupted. There is a tremendous opportunity to utilize blockchain technology to create efficiencies within the ad tech industry. By enabling condition-triggered mechanisms for data to be accessible, it can be shared at scale without any middlemen. Lydian leverages the computing power of the G4 Marketing Cloud, and its data-driven marketing services to provide efficient advertising solutions for the cryptocurrency market. This will allow the community to effectively target customers, with verifiable metrics supporting their campaign efficacy. This will eliminate the need for an intermediary to validate the data integrity or ad serving transaction,” said founder and CEO, Gurbaksh Chahal.

Lydian is targeting new companies that have substantial cryptocurrency holdings, but that may be reluctant to liquidate large sums of cryptocurrencies into fiat to purchase services. Furthermore, the use of Lydian tokens to purchase advertising services from Lydian would support and strengthen the crypto-community by creating a deeper and more circular cryptocurrency economy. With Lydian tokens, businesses in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry can access these services without payment through conventional fiat channels.

“100% of the funds received by Lydian for Lydian tokens will be held as reserves against the cost of advertising and media services to be provided for token holders in exchange for Lydian tokens. Any and all product development costs to develop AI, smart contracts, other blockchain features will be funded by Gravity4,” said Chahal.

The combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology may transform every data intensive industry, especially ad tech, as it digitizes and decentralizes the validation of transactions. Lydian’s advisory board consists of world-class leaders, seasoned executives, and entrepreneurs having been working with Gravity4 to prepare for this launch. Dentons US LLP and Dentons Rodyk & Davidson LLP are the legal counsel for this token sale. Stay tuned as in the coming days the team will be announcing some of their founding advisors.

Unique Buy-Back Program Will Decrease Supply, Increase Demand and Boost Value

(PRWEB) August 23, 2017

Florida-based Redemption Technologies will launch the revolutionary new cryptocurrency BUZZ tokens through a crowdsale at 1400 GMT September 11th, 2017 which will continue for 30 days.

140 million ERC-20 compliant BUZZ tokens will be available for purchase and any tokens not allocated or sold will be burned forever. Visit Redmption Technologies at http://www.redemption.cloud

BUZZ tokens will flow through the Redemption Technologies Platform, which offers discounted goods and services from merchants who also advertise on the platform. “This is a truly unique partnership between the merchant, the consumer, and the crypto currency exchange platform,” said Redemption Technologies CEO Stephen Paglianite. “Merchants generally shy from cryptocurrencies, but what makes BUZZ so attractive is that the merchant can decide what currency they desire to be paid in, they receive excellent advertising exposure as well as feedback on their return on investment.”

The platform will be integrated with the Android and iOS app PartyLink, a popular free app that points people to hot spots for the best food, drinks, music, and entertainment. “PartyLink is the first of what will be thousands of apps connected to our platform,” said Terry Martine, COO of Redemption Technologies. “We have been building and testing this technology, and people will love the way it works,” he added.

Chief Legal Counsel Kelly Elkins researched business models for dozens of other cryptocurrency launches, and believes the Redemption Technologies plan is solid, sound, and attractive to investors for several reasons. “There are a number of attractive elements to the Redemption Technologies package as a whole, and I’ve researched many other similar roll-outs,” said Elkins. “The buyback benefit and bonus structures are particularly appealing.”

#1 Best Place to Work in Atlanta continues best-in-class revenue growth as its team grows to more than 115 "Terminators"

Atlanta (PRWEB) August 23, 2017

Terminus, the leader of the account-based marketing (ABM) movement transforming B2B marketing, today announced it has achieved best-in-class growth for an early stage software-as-a-service (SaaS) company. Terminus has seen 170% growth trailing 12 months from 2016 to present and continues to solidify its position as the leader in the rapidly growing ABM category.

“ABM is moving towards widespread adoption, and in the future it will be the standard for B2B marketing,” said Eric Spett, CEO and Co-Founder of Terminus. “We’re rapidly scaling our executive leadership, engineering teams, and more to continue our momentum as the category leader. Our greatest strength is our people, and we’re so thankful for our team of ‘Terminators’ who make our customers ABM Superheroes and have made Terminus the #1 Best Place to Work in Atlanta.”

According to the #FlipMyFunnel 2017 State of ABM Survey, 81% of B2B Marketers are currently practicing ABM. Terminus has helped fuel the rise of ABM since the launch of its platform in 2015 with more than 1,000 users today, and it is rated the #1 account-based execution software on G2 Crowd.

Terminus has also grown from 10 to 115 full-time employees or “Terminators.” To continue increasing this momentum, Terminus has added four new members to its executive team over the past year, including:

Bryan Brown, Chief Product Officer

Todd McCormick, Chief Revenue Officer

Peter Herbert, Vice President of Marketing

Ross Paterson, Vice President of Customer Success

“We've brought in executives who are masters of their domains, and this fuels our go-to-market strategy and product innovation in support of our customers,” Spett said. “We’re making heavy investments in our product and engineering teams to provide best-in-class solutions that help marketers shifting to ABM to see the fastest time to value.”

Support for this growth comes from the $10.3 million Series B round Terminus closed in Q2 2017, including participation from HubSpot in the company’s first ever venture investment. As Brad Coffey, Chief Strategy Officer at HubSpot wrote: “Terminus is the clear leader in ABM. We loved what Terminus was doing in the ABM space. We saw how powerful their approach could be to the global inbound community, HubSpot customers, and the customers they serve.”

To enhance its account-based offering, Terminus recently launched Account-Based Visitor ID to demonstrate the impact of driving account engagement on their customers’ websites. This capability allows B2B marketers to see the full impact of their account-based campaigns on the ability to engage best-fit prospects and customers, which ultimately leads to revenue.

“The future of marketing is account-based,” said Sangram Vajre, CMO and Co-Founder of Terminus and author of Account-Based Marketing For Dummies. “From 2016 to 2017, 80% more companies are investing in ABM, and at the same time, the single biggest challenge for B2B marketers is to operationalize ABM. That’s what is exciting for us at Terminus. We’re ranked #1 on G2 Crowd by our customers in the category of account-based execution, demonstrating our commitment to being the easiest and fastest way to help marketers do ABM at scale.”

Awards for Terminus in 2017 include winning #1 in Employee Appreciation from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, #1 fastest growing software company in Atlanta in the 2017 Pacesetter Awards from The Atlanta Business Chronicle, the TAG Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Georgia, and Top 50 Best Workplaces in the U.S. from Inc. Magazine. Terminus is also a Top 20 finalist for Best Places to Work in Atlanta, having won the #1 spot for a Medium Employer in 2016.

About Terminus

Terminus is the leading account-based marketing (ABM) platform that enables B2B marketers to target key accounts, engage decision-makers, and accelerate marketing and sales pipeline velocity at scale.
