This platform agnostic chat ecosystem, which is home to the many influential blockchain and crypto communities, has made its arsenal of tools more effective than ever thanks to the latest funding round led by Borderless Capital. Using the Alty Chatbot, users are able to command real time market prices for digital assets, receive up to date news feeds and information regarding these markets and send tips to other users in group-chat environments. Starting now, users can send and receive Algorand and its assets as well, using nothing but WhatsApp or Telegram.

“We’re delighted to have partnered with the most forward-thinking organisation in the crypto industry,” said Alty’s CEO, Liran Peretz. “All of the Alty tools that influencers use to manage and monetise their communities have just been upgraded and we’ve instantly seen an increase in user engagement and wallet transactions overnight.”

Alty made it possible to transact on the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains using automation to connect your digital wallet to your phone number. With increasing numbers of microtransactions per day between community members, it became evident that a more scalable solution was necessary to reduce friction to as close to zero as possible. Interoperability is key to the future of this industry and Alty has also partnered with FIO to allow blockchain based wallet nicknames to replace public addresses to simplify accessibility to these new age Fintech products and bring cryptocurrencies to the masses.

Canva Launches Video Suite to Empower Everyone to Create, Edit and Record Stunning Videos

68% of U.S. knowledge workers say video is becoming increasingly important in the workplace

Canva, the visual communications platform, today launched Canva Video Suite, an end-to-end video creation product that empowers everyone to design and publish professional-quality videos. Available for free on the web, desktop, and mobile, Canva combines intuitive editing, recording, and collaboration features, thousands of customizable video templates, and an extensive media library in one easy-to-use platform.

Marketing Technology News: IDC’s Future of Intelligence Research Develops New…

“One of Canva’s guiding principles is to make complex things simple, and our new Video Suite will allow everyone to unlock the power of video, whether that’s to market their business, make engaging social posts, or express their creativity”

“One of Canva’s guiding principles is to make complex things simple, and our new Video Suite will allow everyone to unlock the power of video, whether that’s to market their business, make engaging social posts, or express their creativity,” said Rob Kawalsky, Head of Product at Canva. “Video is increasingly important in the workplace and online, but traditional tools have been too difficult, expensive, or limited for most to use. Almost everyone creates visual content in today’s world, and we have re-imagined video creation and editing to meet this reality.”

Intuitive Video Editing and Recording for Everyone

Canva makes it simple to get started on almost any type of video for work or play, offering templates that span online platforms like TikTok Ads, YouTube Sets, workplace and business videos, plus fun templates for Halloween, New Year, and other celebrations. Anyone can easily create and customize videos with new features that include:

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Elli Dimitroulakos, Head of Automation, Americas at Acast

  • Scene-Based Editor: Canva simplifies video creation with a scene-based approach that feels familiar to building presentation slides, to eliminate the learning curve.
  • Single Layer Timeline on Desktop and Mobile: Scenes can easily be re-ordered, lengthened, or split using the timeline, to turn individual scenes into a story. Cinematic transitions enable a perfect flow between segments, and editing is optimized for mobile apps and browsers, removing the need for powerful hardware.
  • Multiple Audio Tracks: the video timeline now supports multiple audio tracks, whether uploaded to Canva or dragged from the media library, to enhance videos with music, sound effects, and narration. Canva Pro subscribers can access 27,000 royalty-free tracks through a partnership with Epidemic Sound, with thousands of new sound effects set to be available in November.
  • Screen and Camera Recording: users can now record footage from a camera, screen, or Chrome tab, perfect for video messages and tutorials.
  • Animation Combinations: Choose from an updated selection of animations to transform text, visual elements, or full pages, in a few simple actions. Animation Combinations, set to be launched in the coming weeks, will apply context-specific animations to every element in a scene at once, for the perfect balance.

Streamlining the Video Creation Process

According to a recent study by Canva, 68% say that video is becoming more important in the workplace, and 53% of workplace teams have created video content in the past 18 months. Canva streamlines group video projects with real-time collaboration, allowing team members to add comments, assign actions, and work on the same scenes simultaneously.

Pro and Enterprise customers can manage logos and fonts through Canva Brand Kits that help everyone create on-brand content every time. Instant Styles and Themes allow brand colors to be applied to any video template in a couple of clicks, and Magic Resize means videos can be reformatted instantly — making it easy to convert between platforms, like a YouTube Ad to a TikTok post, without starting from scratch.

A Full End to End Visual Communications Platform

Canva Video Suite is part of the free visual communications platform that already offers thousands of templates across over 100 different design formats, from presentations to infographics, posters, social media posts, videos, flyers, business cards, letterheads, and much more, plus a media library of hundreds of thousands of assets that span graphics, photos, audio, and stock video. Canva Pro customers gain access to premium features, including a content library of over 100 million assets, over 610,000 premium templates, social media scheduling, Background Remover, Magic Resize, multiple Brand Kits, and more.

Lionbridge Integrates Phrase Capabilities into its Leading Next-Generation Localization Solution

 

o9 Solutions, a leading enterprise AI software platform provider for transforming planning and decision-making, announced today that it has launched Vertex AI Forecast integration with Google Cloud as part of their ongoing partnership.

The new machine learning-powered solution is designed to help the world’s largest and most complex retail and consumer goods companies create highly accurate demand forecasts that drive greater supply chain efficiencies and lead to increased market share and profits.

Marketing Technology News: Sensibill Named a Top Growing Company by The Globe and Mail for the Second Consecutive Year

“Our new Vertex AI Forecast solution, built on the Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, applies our deep experience with these machine learning technologies to help retail and CPG companies quickly and easily scale their ability to generate and adjust forecasts based on real-time demand sensing.”

Introduced at Google Cloud Next ‘21, Vertex AI Forecast leverages machine learning models and vast data sets to understand the relationship between product demand and demand drivers such as promotions, pricing, competitive actions and external data such as weather, social sentiment, or Google Search trends. It then translates these signals into more accurate demand forecasts, allowing supply chain teams to make better planning decisions that minimize excess stock, avoid lost sales and reduce administrative and logistics costs.

“Shifting trends and consumer buying behaviors are pushing brands to rethink the way they do demand planning. Yet, many global retail companies and consumer brands continue to rely on historical sales information and manual adjustments rather than data-based science to forecast future demand. Vertex AI Forecast’s machine learning models integrate with supply chain workflows and connect diverse demand signals, making it easy for companies to generate accurate, highly scalable demand predictions – leading to better planning decisions and ultimately higher service levels,” said Chakri Gottemukkala, CEO of o9 Solutions.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Phil Gray, Chief Innovation Officer at Interactions LLC

Vertex AI Forecast integrates with o9’s AI-powered planning and decision-making platform through the company’s open architecture framework and leverages Google Cloud’s proprietary machine learning algorithms for demand forecasting. Vertex AI Forecast is the first of several solutions that o9 is jointly partnering on with Google Cloud as an application partner of Google Cloud’s recently launched digital Supply Chain Twin.

“For more than 10 years, Google Cloud has created cutting-edge technologies that learn from large data sets – recognizing patterns, conducting what-if scenarios, and weighing the pros and cons of tradeoffs,” said Carrie Tharp, VP, Retail, Google Cloud. “Our new Vertex AI Forecast solution, built on the Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, applies our deep experience with these machine learning technologies to help retail and CPG companies quickly and easily scale their ability to generate and adjust forecasts based on real-time demand sensing.”

NEP-Group-Signs-Agreement-to-Acquire-Live-Events-Supplier-Bright-Group-in-Northern-Europe

NEP Group and its Live Events company in Northern Europe, Creative Technology Northern Europe AB, have signed a definitive agreement to purchase Bright Group, a 360 supplier of live events services in Northern Europe including audio, video and lighting solutions, trucking, stages, infrastructure/installations and camera production. The agreement became effective on October 11, conditional upon the approval of the Norwegian Competition Authority. The deal is expected to close in October or November of this year.

Prior to closing, Creative Technology Northern Europe and Bright Group will continue to operate as separate and independent companies.

Marketing Technology News: NEP Launches New Virtual Production Business Segment, Acquires Prysm Collective, Lux Machina and…

Headquartered in Vantaa (near Helsinki), Finland, Bright Group was established in 2011 when AVAB-CAC and Eastway joined forces to support the event and entertainment services business in the Nordics. Since then, more than 20 live event companies in Northern Europe have joined Bright Group – many of which have over 30 years of experience in the industry. Today, Bright Group employs teams across its locations in Sweden, Norway and Finland.

The addition of Bright Group provides both companies’ clients with access to an even more robust set of outsourced, end-to-end solutions supported by a deeper pool of skilled engineers and technicians.

“This acquisition will be great for our clients in Northern Europe and globally,” said Graham Andrews, Global President, NEP Live Events. “Adding Bright Group’s resources to NEP’s and our Creative Technology division gives us the ability to offer the ‘best of the best’ in innovative solutions, talent and resources. It’s also a great cultural fit. We have a great deal of respect for Bright Group’s work and their people.”

“As the Nordic forerunner, Bright Group has plenty to offer on an international scale. Our skilled professionals have decades worth of experience, and we are passionate about what we do. In the future, we can create unique events for even wider audiences,” said Bright Group Chairman Göran Carlson.

After a brief transition period following closing, Bright Group will become part of NEP’s Creative Technology division and will go to market as part of Creative Technology Northern Europe.

“There are so many great synergies with combining our two businesses. It is a perfect match in terms of capacity and strengths on the Norway and Sweden Live Events markets. Add to that a well-driven Finnish business on a market where we have no Live Events presence today. And, last but not least, this deal gives Bright and their skilled team the opportunity to service their clients globally in the large network of CT and NEP companies across the globe. This is very exciting,” said Patrik Dejve, Managing Director of Creative Technology Northern Europe.

ServiceNow Introduces New Integrated ESG Solution to Help Companies Drive Greater Environmental, Social, and Business Impact

Latest ServiceNow Platform Release to Accelerate Productivity and Digital Transformation with Modern Design, Expanded Hyperautomation Tools

Integrated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) solution combines the power of ServiceNow’s platform, new and existing products, and partner ecosystem to help companies workflow a better world

ServiceNow , the leading digital workflow company that makes work, work better for people, announced a new, integrated ESG solution powered by the Now Platform that helps companies activate ESG strategies, programs, and initiatives – from enhancing diversity and inclusion and reducing carbon emissions to enabling business resilience – across the enterprise. ServiceNow’s ESG solution combines the power of the Now Platform, new and existing products, and ServiceNow’s partner ecosystem to help organizations plan, manage, govern, and report on their ESG programs and initiatives to drive greater environmental, social, and business impact.

Companies are increasingly prioritizing ESG initiatives to help contribute to a more sustainable, equitable, and ethical world, build customer and stakeholder trust, and deliver successful business outcomes. According to recent studies, 88% of investors agree companies that prioritize ESG initiatives represent better opportunities for long-term returns than companies that do not, and global consumers are nearly five times more likely to trust, buy, champion, and protect companies with a strong ESG purpose.

Marketing Technology News: Backblaze Strengthens Leadership With Two New Board Members

“We welcome that ServiceNow is currently in the process for GRI software and tools certification”

Today’s ESG efforts are often ad hoc, siloed, and manual. The technology products currently available support discrete, disconnected ESG efforts, compounding the problem. At the same time, global ESG regulations continue to rapidly evolve: more than 170 ESG proposed regulatory measures have emerged since 2018, and 82 percent of investors believe companies are not prepared to comply with ESG reporting regulations. Companies must be able to connect their disparate ESG products and operational systems and support new and existing proposed regulatory requirements to scale their ESG efforts, meet their ESG goals, and support increasing stakeholder expectations for greater levels of transparency and disclosure. ServiceNow’s ESG solution, leveraging the single data model and single architecture of the Now Platform, helps companies accomplish these objectives.

“ESG is a top issue for the C-suite today. Leaders need better ways to plan, manage, govern, and report on their companies’ investments toward a more sustainable, equitable, and ethical world,” said Gina Mastantuono, ServiceNow Chief Financial Officer. “With the power of the Now Platform, ServiceNow is well-suited as the strategic ESG platform partner for business, ultimately helping leaders gain operational control over their growing number of ESG initiatives to drive positive, lasting change globally.”

“In order for ESG initiatives to be effective, companies must have a complete view of their ESG efforts and performance to know how they are tracking towards their goals,” said Kim Knickle, Research Director at Verdantix. “We expect ServiceNow’s new ESG solution will leverage the company’s existing platform to better enable this visibility.”

With its latest integrated ESG solution, ServiceNow is taking a holistic approach to help organizations drive impact and build greater customer, investor, and employee trust. Organizations can convert ESG goals into meaningful impact and create long-term value by innovating processes and delivering sustainable outcomes.

Delivering a unified solution for activating ESG across the enterprise

Harnessing the power of the Now Platform, ServiceNow’s new ESG solution serves as an operational control tower to help convert companies’ ESG goals into reality by providing visibility and transparency across their ESG programs and initiatives and helping them strategize, manage, govern, and report on these efforts on a single platform. Key components of ServiceNow’s integrated solution include:

  • *NEW* ServiceNow ESG Management and Reporting enables companies to document material topics, establish goals and KPIs, track performance, collect and validate audit-ready data, and create disclosures that align with major ESG reporting frameworks.
  • ServiceNow Project and Portfolio Management helps build and maintain a company’s ESG roadmap, including strategy, planning, and budgeting tools plus ongoing tracking of costs, resources, and results. Companies gain visibility into their ESG investments and improve the scale and impact of their ESG efforts.
  • ServiceNow Integrated Risk Management provides core governance capabilities plus advanced risk assessments, continuous monitoring, AI, audits, privacy, automation, and more. It integrates ESG considerations and data into effective enterprise-wide risk and compliance management with a real-time view of ESG compliance and risk as well as rich analytics that improve decision making and business performance.

These products work seamlessly with ServiceNow’s low-code tools and solutions such as Business Continuity Management, Vendor Risk Management, Security Operations, Hardware Asset Management, and HR Service Delivery to generate even greater enterprise-wide ESG value and impact.

Collaborating with the ServiceNow ecosystem to solve new and existing ESG challenges

ServiceNow’s ecosystem of partners, developers, customers, and other third parties will serve as a force multiplier for the ServiceNow ESG solution. Today ServiceNow also announced an expanded alliance with KPMG, where KPMG will serve as the lead launch partner for ServiceNow’s ESG solution. Both companies will work closely together to activate ESG across the enterprise for their joint customers, while also building new ESG workflows on the Now Platform to further extend the solution’s capabilities.

Through its Developer Program, ServiceNow is also mobilizing ISVs, as well as other third parties and customers, to create specialized ESG workflows that serve the unique requirements of various industries and geographies, address specific material issues, and extend ESG initiatives beyond the enterprise to the supply chain. For example:

  • EcoVadis delivers a sustainability ratings platform to assess environmental, social, and ethical practices. By integrating EcoVadis with the ServiceNow Vendor Risk Management product, we can help customers consider third parties’ sustainability performance along with other types of risks – providing a comprehensive view of third-party risk.
  • Watershed enables companies to measure, reduce, remove, and report their carbon emissions. Leading companies—including ServiceNow, Airbnb, DoorDash, Stripe, Shopify, and sweetgreen—are using Watershed on their path to get to zero carbon. By integrating with ServiceNow ESG Management and Reporting, companies can integrate their climate work into their overall ESG program, importing carbon metrics from Watershed into ServiceNow.
  • Reporting Standards Bodies are engaged with ServiceNow to integrate their standards into the ESG Management and Reporting product. For example, ServiceNow has already licensed the Value Reporting Foundation’s SASB Standards. And ServiceNow is currently in the process of requesting authorization to use the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards content in its ESG Management and Reporting solution before the end of the year. These product capabilities will enable companies to produce reporting and disclosures aligned with some of the most commonly used reporting standards.

Third party comments on ServiceNow’s ESG solution:

EcoVadis

“Most leaders now realize that 80% of sustainability impacts are in the supply base, and thus companies need to extend their visibility beyond the walls of the enterprise and into their value chain,” said David McClintock, Marketing Director at EcoVadis. “Working closely with ServiceNow, we are building a powerful new integration that allows ServiceNow customers to incorporate supplier ratings, insights and benchmarks into their sustainable procurement and risk management initiatives, which help drive better business decisions.”

GRI

“We welcome that ServiceNow is currently in the process for GRI software and tools certification,” said Mirjam Groten, Chief Business Development Officer at GRI. “They will soon be authorized to use GRI Standards content in their new ESG solution to help businesses, governments and other organizations understand and communicate their sustainability impacts on the economy, the environment and society.”

NHS National Services Scotland

“Working with ServiceNow, we were able to build and produce a dynamic, integrated workflow within the span of six weeks that manages our national vaccination program, which has helped to protect 2.5 million of our highest risk citizens,” said Steven Flockhart, Director of Cloud Engineering and Operations, NHS National Services Scotland (NSS). “We look forward to leveraging the potential of ServiceNow’s new ESG solution to drive quick and impactful results so that society is a better place for all.”

Watershed

“We have been working closely with ServiceNow as they set their sights on achieving net zero carbon across the entire value chain by 2030,” said Taylor Francis, co-founder at Watershed. “Now, with our partnership with ServiceNow and integration with ESG Management and Reporting, we will be able to help others follow a similar path. It’s time to move from talk to action. We’re working together to help companies go beyond measuring their carbon graph to actually bending it to zero.”

Value Reporting Foundation

“At the Value Reporting Foundation (VRF), we connect business and investors on the financial impacts of sustainability,” said Ryan Suen, VRF’s SASB Standards Integration Manager. “We are working together to leverage the power of ServiceNow’s platform to help companies provide decision-relevant information to their investors.”

Trifacta and Google Cloud deliver new cloud data warehouse optimizations to reduce processing time from hours to seconds, cutting consumption charges by up to 90%

Trifacta, the Data Engineering Cloud company and the makers of Google Cloud Dataprep, announced widespread customer adoption of its BigQuery pushdown functionality. With 57 percent growth during the month of September alone, BigQuery Google Cloud Dataprep customers now process over two trillion rows of data each month. Since its introduction, numerous customers have adopted Trifacta’s BigQuery capabilities, including Amway, Nexstar, C6Bank, SearchKings, OFI Asset Management, Koffie Labs, Realtruck, MyMuscleChef, and more.

“Our new process runs in 22 seconds, dropping our consumption cost by approximately 90 percent.”

Earlier this year, Trifacta announced that Google Cloud Dataprep could run inside BiqQuery as the engine for data transformation and cleansing. Trifacta has now expanded this popular functionality to address additional use cases. Updates include handling file to BigQuery pushdown, BigQuery Sampling, BigQuery Upsert, and enriched data engineering experience with BigQuery pre/post-processing functions. With the enhancements, customers have been able to accelerate design time and data pipeline speed more than 60 times, saving thousands of dollars on each job.

“Thanks to Google Cloud Dataprep by Trifacta’s self-service data engineering and its BigQuery Pushdown Optimization capabilities, we were able to spend 15 minutes rewriting a legacy process that historically took more than five hours to complete,” said Bekkie Brown, Manager Data Platforms & Operations at Amway. “Our new process runs in 22 seconds, dropping our consumption cost by approximately 90 percent.”

“Trifacta is regularly enhancing Google Cloud Dataprep experiences to further optimize data engineering work, which helps our customers accelerate time-to-value,” said Sean Kandel, Co-founder and CTO at Trifacta. “Thanks to our unique partnership with Google Cloud and integration with BigQuery, it’s never been as easy and fast to deliver results with data pipelines at scale.”

Trifacta’s data engineering platform is natively embedded into Google Cloud as a serverless and native service known as Dataprep by Trifacta. Benefiting from deep integration with BigQuery and the constant flow of BigQuery innovation, Dataprep now offers a unique enriched design experience for analytics initiatives on Google Cloud.

“Trifacta’s data prep capabilities are helping customers process trillions of rows of data, efficiently and cost-effectively,” said Sudhir Hasbe, Director of Product Management, Data Analytics at Google Cloud. “We’re thrilled to deepen our partnership with Trifacta to further extend its support for Google Cloud and BigQuery, including launching new ELT capabilities and accelerating their time to value with data.”

Building on the success of Dataprep by Trifacta’s pushdown to BigQuery data sources, the company has bolstered functionality for “Full Pushdown” for files and data sources. This addition enables users to translate Dataprep jobs into SQL statements executed on BigQuery. Further, Dataprep enables BigQuery Upsert, which is the ability to update or insert data into BigQuery. This functionality allows data professionals to refresh a portion of a data warehouse rather than reload it entirely. Trifacta also brings to market BigQuery Pushdown Sampling, which is the ability to slice data sets in smaller chunks to offer a better experience to quickly transform and validate data visually.

Marketing Technology News: DTEN as a Service Makes Professional, Affordable Video Collaboration Available to Everyone

The latest Dataprep version comes with many other BigQuery-based specific enhancements, such as extending Dataprep jobs with pre-and-post BigQuery SQL, support for BigQuery arrays, or opening a Dataprep output result directly in the BigQuery Editor. In sum, these innovations create an enriched data engineering experience to deliver data projects at unprecedented ease and speed.

Upcoming, Trifacta will introduce further enhancements to support any external table as a source for the pushdown. This will help expand the pushdown use cases from Google Cloud Storage files as a source to Spanner, Cloud SQL, Cloud Bigtable, and other external sources supported by BigQuery. Trifacta will also support customer extensions for pushdown, including custom SQL and Javascript UDFs.

Trifacta will be present at Google Cloud Next, Google Cloud’s 3-day virtual conference focused on global digital experiences in the Cloud.

Clash Launches, Empowering Next-Gen Creators to Serve Their Strongest Audience and Earn Money With Drops – Regardless of Follower Count

Clash-Launches_-Empowering-Next-Gen-Creators-to-Serve-Their-Strongest-Audience-and-Earn-Money-With-Drops---Regardless-of-Follower-Count

Byte, the “Sequel App to Vine,” has Relaunched as Clash, a Creator-Centric Video Platform Focused on Stewarding Sustainable Support – Both Monetarily and Through Engagement – for Content Creators

Clash unveiled its creator-founded next-gen video platform for everyone to better connect and earn from their most dedicated fanbase. Having acquired byte, the popular video platform that’s often been referred to as “the sequel to Vine,” earlier this year, the company is now leveraging the best of byte’s features with its own unique monetization and engagement tools to redesign the entire experience of creating, sharing, engaging with and earning from one’s creativity.

Marketing Technology News: DTEN as a Service Makes Professional, Affordable Video Collaboration Available to Everyone

“Clash is for your ride-or-die followers. It’s not about the size of your audience, but the strength of your audience”

This reimagined short-form video platform disrupts the existing social media paradigm that favors a high follower count over true connection and honest interaction with one’s most loyal fans. And, unlike other social platforms, Clash puts the creator ahead of brand-led algorithms and advertising models by incorporating proven transaction models and no barriers to entry — thereby simplifying, streamlining, and democratizing the content creation and compensation ecosystems for all.

“Clash is for your ride-or-die followers. It’s not about the size of your audience, but the strength of your audience,” said Brendon McNerney, Clash’s CEO and co-founder who amassed his own social following of 700,000+ followers during Vine’s heyday. “Clash is for the fans who want to support you and help you keep pursuing your creativity; the ones who wake up and the first thing they do is check your updates; the ones who are already invested in your story. A follower count doesn’t necessarily carry the same weight on Clash, because it is a platform that recognizes the depth of a person’s following, rather than just the width of it, and empowers the many ways in which fans can engage with and show support for their favorite creators.”

To highlight Clash’s pro-creator approach, key product features include:

  • In-App Drops: Similar to a tip jar laid out in front of your favorite neighborhood busker, “Drops” are Clash’s way of empowering fans to drop their appreciation and support for their favorite creators right into their virtual wallets. These digital goods can be gifted endlessly to any and all creators inside the Clash economy and redeemed in full each month. On Clash, sending Drops to your favorite creator is as easy, ubiquitous and seamless as liking or commenting on a video — thereby fostering a culture of reciprocity not just rooted in traditional engagement metrics but in real-world recognition and financial appreciation of one’s creativity.
  • Fanmail: A direct connection between creators and their biggest fans, Fanmail allows fans to send custom Drops and unlock the ability to send personalized messages straight to their top creators, who can then acknowledge and communicate directly with their top supporters.
  • Complimentary Drops: To spark this sustainable and shared support economy, Clash will gift hundreds of complimentary Drops to new users at launch free of charge, effectively empowering all users to begin paying it forward within the Clash Creator Economy.
  • No Barriers to Entry: Grounded in the simplified philosophy of “Shoot, Share, Earn,” Clash believes that everyone has the capacity and creativity to be a successful content creator if given the right tools, audience and opportunity. Therefore, Clash has taken a “no barrier to entry” approach, where a user’s follower count, engagement statistics, verification status (etc.) have no impact on their ability to earn, share and redeem within the app.

Marketing Technology News: Google Cloud Launches Partnership Initiative to Help Global Organizations Improve Sustainability and…

Byte’s existing five million users will seamlessly transfer to the new Clash app ecosystem with today’s launch and see a surprise treat in their account upon first logging in: hundreds of complimentary Drops meant to jumpstart the symbiotic support economy shared amongst all users — because, with Clash, everyone is a creator worthy of compensation.

The app launch comes less than a year after Clash closed a hefty funding round led by Seven Seven Six, the investment fund launched by Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, with additional funding from M13 Ventures and Plug and Play. “The future of the creator economy will be dictated by strength of connection to community,” said Ohanian. “Clash is pioneering a new model that doesn’t just create a new, healthier way to monetize than banner ads, but also fosters deeper connections between creators and their fans. This means better content and stronger communities.”

Liberated Syndication Reports December Podcast Advertising Rates

Liberated Syndication Inc. (“Libsyn” or “the Company”), the industry’s leading podcast hosting platform and advertising marketplace, provided an update on podcast advertising rates.

Marketing Technology News: Liberated Syndication Reports August Podcast Advertising Rates

“Most importantly, these figures are not reflective of podcast ad pricing that is arbitrarily set by a sales organization; rather, this pricing is driven by supply and demand within our industry-leading marketplace.”

These rates, which are denoted as cost per thousand or CPM, are published monthly by the Company’s subsidiary, AdvertiseCast, the industry’s leading podcast advertising marketplace connecting advertisers to podcasters. The data is derived from actual sales data from across the 1,900+ podcasts in the AdvertiseCast marketplace.

For September 2021, the average CPM rate for a 60-second spot was $23.08.

Podcast advertising rates took a slight dip in September, although they remained relatively flat for the third quarter of 2021.

“These rates reflect actual orders from the AdvertiseCast marketplace. Libsyn is committed to providing transparency on the podcast advertising market to our buyers and podcasters as well as the industry at large. We remain excited by the strong industry tailwinds that are expected to grow the podcast advertising market significantly over the next several years and beyond,” said Dave Hanley, Chief Revenue Officer at AdvertiseCast. “Most importantly, these figures are not reflective of podcast ad pricing that is arbitrarily set by a sales organization; rather, this pricing is driven by supply and demand within our industry-leading marketplace.”

Historical rates can be found on the AdvertiseCast podcast marketplace website at: https://www.advertisecast.com/podcast-advertising-rates

The Company will continue to announce these figures on a monthly basis to enable podcasters, advertisers, and the investor community to readily monitor market pricing and provide greater insight into advertising monetization within the podcasting industry.

Socure Announces the Launch of Its Public Sector Business with a Mission to Improve Access to Government Digital Services and Eliminate Fraud

Seller-Related Identity Fraud Is the Biggest Threat to E-Commerce Providers and Platforms this Holiday Season

Socure, the leading provider of digital identity verification and fraud solutions, announced the launch of its public sector business led by identity industry veteran and public sector expert Matt Thompson, who was recently named to the newly created role of General Manager of Public Sector Solutions for Socure.

Socure enables government agencies to gauge whether an identity is real and belongs to the person applying for access to government benefits and services. Socure helps agencies modernize their approach to serving citizens, providing highly accurate, fully automated decisions on identity, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for manual reviews, while improving program integrity and protecting taxpayer dollars from fraud. This is critical as online government systems are heavily reliant on the ability to remotely and accurately verify the identities of citizens. However, as the pandemic drove a surge of U.S. residents online, many of those systems failed on a massive scale with 2020 identity fraud losses in unemployment alone totaling $400B.

“We are committed to solving this challenge for government agencies. With the broadest identity coverage available in the market for every population and group, Socure’s identity verification solution is unmatched in its ability to determine with confidence the validity of any identity online.”

“Many agencies lack the industry experience required to effectively manage identity verification and reduce fraud losses in the midst of accelerated digital transformation due to the pandemic. Furthermore, the gaps within legacy identity solutions were exposed leaving numerous eligible people waiting extended periods of time for their benefits while enabling fraudsters to manipulate these same benefits at an unprecedented level,” said Thompson. “We are committed to solving this challenge for government agencies. With the broadest identity coverage available in the market for every population and group, Socure’s identity verification solution is unmatched in its ability to determine with confidence the validity of any identity online.”

Unrivaled Coverage and Accuracy Powered by the Most Comprehensive ID Graph in the Industry

Socure’s patented data ingestion and cleansing technology is paired with unsupervised ML clustering capabilities, enabling the company to analyze an unparalleled breadth and depth of data that goes beyond the industry status quo. The Socure identity resolution engine analyzes over eight billion records and more than 530 million good and bad identities to achieve the most accurate view of identity possible. Socure also evaluates streaming data, credit bureau history, utility data, telecom history, higher-education records, device data, and 200+ other authoritative data sources to instantly establish the most accurate and comprehensive multi-dimensional view of any individual.

Socure’s solutions provide the broadest identity coverage available for all ages and demographics, including hard-to-verify citizens. The company’s identity verification and fraud platform ensures equity and inclusion in the assessment of identities for all individuals, including younger demographics, credit invisible consumers, new-to-country, and underrepresented groups.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Gregory Zakowicz, Director of Content, Omnisend

Predictive Document and Identity Verification

For agencies requiring quick and accurate remote document verification, Socure’s predictive document verification quickly confirms the authenticity of any identity document in circulation, ownership of the phone, risk of the browser or device, and NIST PAD Level 2 liveness detection within the selfie. Socure’s document verification goes far beyond simply matching the selfie to an authenticated government-issued ID by checking the validity of other identity elements on the ID such as name, date of birth, and address, and ensuring all elements belong to the person presenting the ID, as well as the risk associated with the device.

Key Benefits of Socure’s Identity Verification and Fraud Platform for Government Agencies:

  • Approve more eligible individuals: Auto-verification rates of 98% across all ages and demographics
  • Prevent more fraud: Auto-capture up to 90% of third-party and synthetic identity fraud for the riskiest transactions
  • Eliminate manual reviews: Receive fully automated decisions in seconds or just milliseconds, only reviewing in scenarios with real risk

Socure is also an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Validated Public Sector Partner, which is an elite group that government agencies rely on for best-in-breed, cloud-based solutions. As an AWS Public Sector Partner, Socure has passed the rigorous AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR), for best practices related to security, reliability, and operational excellence for government agencies. In addition, Socure’s AWS Public Sector partnership and availability in AWS Marketplace makes the procurement process seamless and easy for agencies to acquire Socure’s industry-leading identity verification and fraud solutions.
