OptimusQ focuses on bringing, to selected technology companies all across the globe, the ability to share their story across hundreds of the world's leading media outlets while targeting their ideal audience. "We wanted to find the right company that not only could use our technology to support the growth of many tech companies but also be extremely innovative in its core," Lior Vexler, the founder & CEO of OptimusQ, explains regarding the decision to choose AuthorityTech.io as the official partner. Since inception, AuthorityTech.io has committed to changing the narrative of traditional PR firms. While most traditional firms focus on a myriad of different content strategies, AuthorityTech.io has focused relentlessly on two things: understanding specifically the technology landscape and securing incredible earned media opportunities for its clients. Partnering with OptimusQ’s smart technology, AuthorityTech.io plans on extending the value of credible earned media placements, by boosting their visibility and garnering millions of impressions from potential customers and investors. As a leader in the Tech PR and now marketing space, AuthorityTech.io aims to continually seek innovative methods to disrupt how these services are designed and implemented. In a fast-paced industry like technology, there is an urgent need for PR and marketing firms to provide cutting edge services that leverage technology. Jaxon Parrott, the Founder at AuthorityTech.io, stated his thoughts on the disruptive changes they plan to implement: “Going into 2022, technology will continue to change how we see, interact and consume information. Most PR firms are stuck in a time where technology was in its infancy stage, not innovating alongside these changes. We aim to not only innovate alongside but lead the disruption of the Tech PR and marketing space. We believe this new Hybrid PR service will change the game for a long time.” AuthorityTech.io has been known as a “market disruptor” for quite some time, but with their new pivot into their Hybrid PR model, they plan on taking this reputation to another level. Technology companies now have an entirely new and automated way to not only solidify their brands, but also to consistently be seen in front of their target audience. The result? More customers, more investment dollars, and even a higher company valuation.

Shopping Small, Diverse-Owned Local Businesses Has Never Been Easier: New ‘Comcast RISE Business Directory’ Lists Nearly 300 California Small Businesses Owned by People of Color

Comcast California

Comcast California today unveiled a new RISE Business Directory for laptops and mobile phones, highlighting nearly 300 California small, diverse-owned businesses that have received grants, marketing and technology services from the Comcast RISE program. This new, interactive directory makes it easy to support California’s small businesses owned by people of color that have been hardest hit during the pandemic. Last year, Comcast launched Comcast RISE, a national effort to uplift and support local small businesses hardest hit by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic — focusing primarily on small businesses owned by people of color. The RISE program was created to invest in the success of these diverse small businesses by providing them with the tools and resources they need to help them thrive. Comcast’s new RISE business directory is a user-friendly digital map for laptops and mobile phones that collates and presents key information about local businesses throughout Northern and Central California who have benefited from the Comcast RISE program. Having an easy-to-use business directory will provide local consumers with the information they need to become aware of, locate and contact these small businesses owned by people of color. “This new business directory is another key example of Comcast’s commitment to supporting local entrepreneurs of color and contributing to our economic success,” said Tamika Miller, Oakland native, owner of Cuticles Nails Spa, and two-time RISE recipient. “My business was deeply impacted by the pandemic and through the technology makeover, the $10,000 grant from the Comcast RISE Investment Fund and now this new RISE directory have all helped me not only to keep my business afloat but to thrive.” “As the holidays grow closer, now is a critical time to support our small businesses and local entrepreneurs of color,” said Kristee Cominiello, Vice President, Comcast Business, Comcast California. “With the launch of this Comcast RISE business directory, we’re providing consumers with the resources they need to find and support local businesses and lend a hand in helping these small businesses recover from the economic impacts of the pandemic.” Comcast RISE is currently open to all eligible business owners who can apply now for the services. Additionally, starting on January 16 th, the program will expand eligibility to all women-owned small businesses as well, regardless of race or ethnicity. This expansion recognizes and seeks to help address the persistent inequities women continue to face in accessing the resources and funding that are critical to success. Comcast RISE, which stands for Representation, Investment, Strength and Empowerment, is part of Project UP, Comcast’s comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and help provide underrepresented small business owners with access to the digital tools and funding they need to thrive. Over the next 10 years, Comcast has committed $1 billion to programs and partnerships that will reach an estimated 50 million people with the skills, opportunities and resources they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world. In the year since its inception, Comcast RISE has awarded more than $60 million in grants, marketing, and technology services to more than 6,700 small businesses owned by people of color — including Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and Asian Americans. With the upcoming expansion to all women-owned small businesses, the Comcast RISE program is on track to support 13,000 businesses by the end of 2022, either through the grant program or from the resources provided through Effectv and Comcast Business. In addition to the financial and business support services provided, a key part of the program is ensuring the long-term sustainability of small businesses. To help address this, Comcast invests in and partners with organizations such as Ureeka to provide ongoing mentorship and resources to help small businesses succeed over the long-term. For more information and the applications to apply for either the grant program or marketing and technology services are available at www.ComcastRISE.com.

Issuer Pixel

MIAMI - Issuer Pixel, a new video-centric B2B sharing and networking platform built on patented technology, took a major leap forward today by officially launching its video and audio 1-Click sharing features. With today's launch, companies of all sizes can now join the Issuer Pixel platform and begin providing their content publicly, gaining exposure to partners, customers, suppliers, suitors, investors and media worldwide. "On behalf of the entire Issuer Pixel team, I am thrilled to announce this significant milestone in our company's growth," said Issuer Pixel CEO David N. Baker. "This is a major step for our company and our investors. More importantly, going live means our corporate customers can begin taking advantage of our platform and seeing the benefits immediately." The announcement comes on the heels of other key events for the company, which earlier this year received official patent approval for its first patent, from the U.S. Patent Trademark Office. "We already have one patent approved, two patents pending, and five more being prepared to be filed," Baker said. "We believe building a strong patent portfolio will provide us with a defensible position in the market place and add tremendous value to Issuer Pixel." Even though most companies do not have a structure to organize their external facing video and audio content, including Fortune 500 companies, the demand for such structure to organize their content has skyrocketed in recent years. Issuer Pixel was created to fulfill that growing demand, while also providing companies a platform to efficiently find video/audio content by industry, sector, or granular product/service level for the first time.
