Unlocking digital success: How MediaValet drives 34% revenue growth in digital asset management

MediaValet

MediaValet CEO Robert Chase joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil a significant rebranding effort, featuring a new logo and a fully redesigned website. Chase shared the details of this relaunch and discussed the company's strong second-quarter financial performance. The rebrand includes a modernized logo, reflecting the company's evolution and growth, and a revamped website that showcases the MV DAM platform's capabilities and highlights why MediaValet was ranked as the number 1 Enterprise DAM platform by G2 Crowd. Regarding the company's financial results, MediaValet reported robust 2Q growth, with revenue reaching $4 million, representing a 30% increase from 2Q 2022 and a 5% sequential increase from 1Q 2023. Chase attributed this growth to both new customer acquisitions and the favorable exchange rate, as the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar played a role. Importantly, gross margins remained strong at 81%. Chase explained that this margin percentage was influenced by factors such as higher support personnel costs, a greater proportion of professional services revenue, and the timing of customer adoption ahead of revenue expansion. Overall, the rebranding and positive financial performance underscore MediaValet's commitment to providing cutting-edge DAM solutions and its continued growth in the digital asset management market.

How Clean Energy Jobs are Driving the Economy

YourUpdateTV

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is the largest investment in climate and clean energy in U.S. history, and within the last year, companies have created more than 170,600 new clean energy jobs nationwide. Recently, Lori Lodes, the Executive Director of Climate Power, and Gina McCarthy, Former White House Climate Advisor, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss how families are benefitting from the law and how clean energy jobs are reshaping the economy. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/rrfT-Kddz7I?si=1S6U7FzbYqvQhh-a Clean energy projects created 170,606 new jobs in 44 states between August 16, 2022 and July 20, 2023. There are 272 new clean energy projects in small towns and big cities nationwide, totaling $278 billion in new investments. Plans include 91 new battery manufacturing sites in places like Tucson, Arizona; Rochester, New York; and Florence County, South Carolina. So far, companies have announced plans for 65 new or expanded electric vehicle manufacturing facilities in Savannah, Georgia; Montgomery, Alabama; Auburn Hills, Michigan — and more. A further 84 plans were announced to develop wind and solar manufacturing in cities including Cochranton, Pennsylvania; Pensacola, Florida; and Georgetown, Texas. The majority of projects are in five states — Michigan, Georgia, South Carolina, California, and Texas. The jobs being created across the country are good-paying opportunities for electricians, mechanics, construction workers, technicians, support staff, and thousands of others. Many of these clean energy jobs come with higher wages and good benefits without requiring a four-year degree — meaning they’re accessible to most Americans.

Wallabing Is The Airbnb Of RVs Without The High Fees – And It’s Already Raised Over $55,000 On Wefunder

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga Learn more about Wallabing’s current crowdfunding raise and how to invest here Wallabing is a peer-to-peer RV rental platform where owners make more, and renters pay less. That’s the company motto and the overarching goal of the startup who is entering the $820 million RV rental market. As its platform continues to grow, it’s launched a Wefunder campaign to raise additional capital while giving investors a chance to be part of that growth. Wallabing Offers Low-Cost RV Travel To Renters And Lets Owners Turn Unused RVs Into Passive Income The average RV owner spends between 28 and 35 days each year using their RV. That means their RV is sitting unused for over 330 days out of the year. Meanwhile, 44% of people who go RVing don’t own their own RV. They prefer to rent – often because it’s too expensive to justify buying a big-ticket asset that they will only use roughly one month out of the year. That’s where Wallabing comes in. As the Airbnb of RVs, it gives owners a way to earn extra cash on their unused RV during those 330 or so days each year that they aren’t using it. And for renters, it’s a safe, low-cost way to find the perfect RV for their next trip. For renters, the platform provides a low-cost way to get on the road and explore the outdoors without the high cost of RV ownership. Wallabing also adds 24/7 roadside assistance, mobile check-in/checkout, and comprehensive insurance. For owners, it’s free to list on Wallabing and free to rent out their RVs. All renters go through a driving record check and are required to have Wallabing’s insurance that will cover the RV. Making the platform fee-free for owners is great for those renting out their RVs and lowers the barrier of listing the RV in the first place. That could give Wallabing a competitive edge when scaling the number of listings on the site. “I found that most of the companies, if not all, would charge an owner to list their RV, whether it was 3% up to 25%,” said Wallabing CEO Jason Carlson in a recent interview on RV Out West. Owners who would otherwise be interested in renting out their RV might be less willing to risk paying a listing fee or might decide their take-home profit after the platform’s cut just isn’t worth it. Its low-fee model could also give it an advantage in attracting renters. Those same platforms that charge fees to owners tend to double down by charging fees to the renters, too. But renters on Wallabing pay just one 10% fee that’s charged on the nightly rate only–not on any cleaning fees or additional equipment they might be renting along with the RV. To make those low fees possible, Wallabing focuses on making its service as cost-efficient as possible. “I looked everywhere we could trim things,” said Carlson. That included carefully choosing a great insurance partner and roadside assistance service. That model is already starting to pay off. In the first half of 2023, the platform has increased its listings by 25% and added thousands to its user base. Since June 15th alone, it gained over 30,000 new users. On the capital raising side, Wallabing also made headway. After raising over $1 million in an initial family and friends funding round, it’s already added over $55,000 more from investors through its Wefunder campaign. Looking ahead, Wallabing plans to grow its inventory to 150,000 RVs within the next five years. Click here to learn more about Wallabing’s mission to revolutionize RV rentals and how to invest.

It is with this intent we have launched our latest initiative to break big data silos and bring value to pharma marketing by structuring scattered datapoints. As opposed to how unreal big data in the pharma sector may have looked, it is now a reality the industry can’t escape, and its potential can’t be ignored. The lab will greatly facilitate marketers to use and share data with ease and work with HCP datasets holistically to enhance internal and external collaborations to support innovation. This is the kind of value creation we aim to make for our partners as we assist them in their business growth.” Backed by a team of experts with extensive experience in pharmaceutical marketing, medical, consulting, data science, and technology, Doceree will engage with life sciences companies to explore and customize data strategies and solutions that align to their unique needs.

Marketplacer Helps FINN Give Refurbished Electronics A Second Life

Marketplacer

Marketplacer, a global technology platform that enables brands, retailers, suppliers, communities, and innovators to build and grow successful online marketplaces at scale, is proud to announce today that one of the most well-known brands in Norway - FINN - is experiencing record growth on its new Marketplacer-powered e-commerce site for used smartphones and accessories, FINN Nybrukt. Based in Oslo, Norway, FINN is the country’s largest online marketplace, allowing consumers to purchase anything from cars to houses to general merchandise. In February 2023, the company expanded these offerings with the launch of FINN Nybrukt, a new e-commerce marketplace for used smartphones and accessories, where buyers can choose from a variety of pre-owned, refurbished phones, and sellers can help their used phones find a second “life” and avoid the landfill, which is a key mission for FINN. Essentially functioning as a boot-strapping startup within the larger Schibsted family of brands, the team at FINN considered building an e-commerce platform on its own. Instead, the team decided that its business objectives would be better served by choosing a technology partner that it could collaborate with in order to meet its business objectives. FINN chose Marketplacer because the company’s fast, flexible and easily-scalable marketplace platform technology aligned perfectly with FINN’s accelerated time-to-market target. “FINN was already a household name in Norway, but what the team was looking to do with FINN Nybrukt was a new adventure,” said Marketplacer CEO and Co-Founder Jason Wyatt. “We have a deep understanding of the different needs and approaches start-ups have compared to their more established corporate counterparts. FINN knows how to sell almost anything and we know how to create the infrastructure to make it happen and how to make it happen fast.” Ultimately, FINN was able to launch its new Marketplacer-powered e-commerce platform in less than six months and the site continues to experience a tremendous uptick in interest over the first few months of operations. In fact, while July is traditionally a slow month for sales in Norway, FINN Nybrukt saw an all-time high in sales. “We are always looking for new business models for marketplaces and the demand for refurbished electronics is hot,” according to Emilie Høstmark, team lead for refurbished electronics at FINN/Schibsted’s Nordic Marketplaces division. “Since so many people have used electronics, giving them a simple way to re-circulate them not only makes economic sense, but also helps the environment by reducing e-waste. The partnership also enables us to scale and expand into other countries across the region which was a key consideration for us.” Following the success of its refurbished smartphones marketplace, FINN plans to expand into additional categories, including tablets, smartwatches and AirPods, with the potential to further expand into gaming equipment and more. The company is also looking to expand geographically, leveraging its sister marketplaces across the Nordic region. The FINN Nybrukt marketplace is live and interested sellers in the Nordics can find more information here. About Marketplacer Marketplacer is a global technology Software as a Service (SaaS) platform equipped with all the tools and functionality needed to build successful and scalable online marketplaces, at speed. To date, Marketplacer has helped build and deploy over 100 Marketplaces connecting over 13,000 businesses worldwide. The Marketplacer platform exists to make growth simple, from implementing marketplace strategies such as shipment from drop-ship sellers, adding new categories or third-party range extension, through to consolidating markets and rolling out modern revenue models such as recurring memberships that allow businesses to grow faster and beyond the constraints of capital inventory. Born and bred from the award-winning BikeExchange, the biggest online marketplace for anything and everything bike, founders Jason Wyatt and Sam Salter saw the opportunity to license the online software platform and apply it to new marketplaces. Marketplacer is responsible for the creation of online e-commerce solutions and business transformations of companies around the world. Visit www.marketplacer.com for more information. About FINN FINN.no is Norway's largest online marketplace with almost 500 employees and was founded in 2000. Ever since, FINN has gained enormous popularity among Norwegians, its reputation is one of Norway's strongest and almost every Norwegian has a relationship with FINN. Every year Norwegians spend an average of almost 33 hours on FINN.no. and more than 14 million ads are published. FINN has the #1 position in the markets they are in and connects millions of buyers and sellers. Whether it is to buy or sell products, looking for a house or a new job, browse cars or boats, or dreaming of the next holiday - FINN offers the opportunity to realize dreams and make sustainable choices. As part of Schibsted Nordic Marketplaces, which consists of strong, local marketplaces across the Nordics, FINN also has a cross-Nordic perspective and view.

Open Letter to Leaders of the European Union: Hold Amit Shah Accountable

Human Rights Transparency Trust

Human Rights Index, a platform dedicated to raising awareness about human rights issues worldwide, has published the following open letter urging a call to action for global democratic leaders with regard to the policies and actions of India’s Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah: “As leaders from around the globe gear up for the G20 Leaders’ Summit in New Dehli, attention is drawn to India, a significant force in international politics and the global economy. Central to India's contemporary political scene is Amit Shah, a man whose political ambitions, beliefs, and far-reaching influence demand careful examination and consideration. Amit Shah's rise to power, his control over India's law enforcement agencies, his handling of protests, and his stance on issues such as national security, surveillance, and minority rights paint a picture of a leader with a complex and often controversial legacy. Shah's support for policies that may undermine minority rights, his alleged involvement in personal scandals and abuses, and his influence over law enforcement have led to questions about transparency, accountability, and potential abuse of power. His remarks that Western standards of human rights do not apply to India have alarmed human rights advocates globally. The upcoming G20 summit presents an opportunity for the international community to engage with India on these critical issues. It is a moment to call for reforms, to scrutinize Shah's track record, and to consider the broader implications of his leadership for regional and global security. Consider those who will look to us to defend human rights, in any language, society or culture across the globe. Let this be a call to action for world leaders, human rights organizations, and concerned citizens to take a hard look at India's human rights track record with Shah as a key advisor to Prime Minister Modi. The world must not turn a blind eye to the warning signs. The stakes are high, and the time to act is now. The G20 summit must serve as a platform for constructive dialogue and accountability, ensuring that the principles of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law are upheld. International leaders must call Amit Shah to account for his actions and not let the G20 Summit pass without remaining true to the values that bind us as a global community.” A comprehensive report detailing the influence, impact, and concerns raised by stakeholders around the world regarding the actions and politics of Amit Shah is available for download here. The Human Rights Index is a platform dedicated to raising awareness about the complex crisis faced by refugees in India. Its mission is to bring attention to the history of discrimination and violence faced by religious and ethnic minorities in India. Through research and advocacy, it aims to promote human rights and support those affected by persecution. Contact Details Human Rights Index Press Team +44 7584 421001 comms@hrindex.fund
