SHE Media Opens the Call for Entries for the Fifth-Annual #Femvertising Awards on March 8, in Celebration of International Women’s Day 2019

Check out the latest post http://thenewsrabbit.com/she-media-opens-the-call-for-entries-for-the-fifth-annual-femvertising-awards-on-march-8-in-celebration-of-international-womens-day-2019/

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SHE Media (formerly SheKnows Media), a mission-driven digital media company created by and for women with approximately 60 million unique visitors per month (comScore) and 350 million-plus social media fans and followers, today announced that it has opened the Call for Nominations for its annual #Femvertising Awards in celebration of International Women’s Day 2019.

This year marks the awards program’s fifth anniversary, which SHE Media founded in 2015 after coining the now widely used term “Femvertising” to honor brands, agencies and organizations that break down gender stereotypes through pro-female advertising. It has since expanded to include categories that pay tribute to ads that challenge societal norms associated with race, sexual orientation and religious beliefs. Two such categories, Dadvertising and Normvertising, counter perceptions around gender labels and roles, and also dovetail with this year’s International Women’s Day theme, #BalanceForBetter – a nod to the global push for professional and social equality.

Since 2015, more than 350 agencies and brands across a range of industries have submitted their work for consideration, and nearly 40,000 votes by the public have been cast to determine the winners. Recipients of the #Femvertising Awards across all years include: Always, Audi, Barbie, Bud Light, Coca-Cola, CoverGirl, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Dove, General Mills, John Frieda, Lane Bryant, L’Oreal Paris, Lyft, Organic Valley, Pantene, Procter & Gamble, RAM Trucks, Under Armour, and more.

Below are key dates and deadlines for the 2019 #Femvertising Awards:

March 7, 2019: Call for entries opens

May 10, 2019: Call for entries closes and judges begin the selection process

July 2019: Finalists are announced, and public voting begins

September 2019: Winners are announced in conjunction with SHE Media’s #BlogHer19 Creators Summit and Advertising Week 2019

“Just five years ago, mainstream advertising was very different than it is today,” said Samantha Skey, CEO, SHE Media. “We could sense there was a growing desire for ads featuring messages and images that inspire and empower women and girls. We also believed that companies should never have to choose between profit and social responsibility. Creating the #Femvertising Awards, which over the last five years has expanded to honor ads that do the right thing by all underserved communities, remains one of SHE Media’s most important initiatives. Advertising continues to play an important role in shaping societal norms, and we look forward to celebrating work that challenges the status quo and promotes equality for all.”

Visit the #Femvertising Awards website to nominate a campaign, and follow #Femvertising on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for updates and new information about this year’s program.

Ceros Raises $14M Series C To Inspire and Empower Better Digital Brand Experiences

Check out the latest post http://thenewsrabbit.com/ceros-raises-14m-series-c-to-inspire-and-empower-better-digital-brand-experiences/

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ceros today announced that it has raised $14 million in Series C funding led by Greenspring Associates. The financing will serve as the next building block in executing on Ceros’ mission to empower marketers and designers everywhere to move beyond the static digital realm and create deeply engaging digital experiences. The round included participation from existing investors Grotech Ventures, CNF Investments, Sigma Prime Ventures, StarVest Partners, Greycroft and Silicon Valley Bank.

A cloud-based software platform featuring a collaborative, real-time digital canvas, on which designers create animated, interactive content, Ceros enables designers to craft bespoke digital experiences at scale and without code. Ceros is an end-to-end solution that offers full creative control, meaning stunning interactive content can be created at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional web development or agency support.

Ceros’ continued evolution is driven by a core belief that digital content is due for a creative upgrade, with an influx of innovation and talent that was once the sole domain of elite agencies. While content is now widely considered the backbone of digital marketing, these new creative challenges are emerging:

Digitally native audiences are uncompromising in their standards, unwilling to engage with static long-form content and strongly influenced by a never-ending stream of short-burst social feeds.

In-house creative and design talent are often an afterthought, relegating content teams to focus almost exclusively on statistics, copy, and static visuals, and who market to audiences based on data rather than human connection.

Most digital brand content is built using content creation platforms that output static, templated content, resulting in a sea of homogenous viewer and user experiences.

As Ceros builds into 2019, it will reveal a deeper commitment to inspiring brands to challenge themselves and expand their experiential marketing strategy beyond in-person activations. In late March, Ceros will host a launch event called “Experience Matters”, which will feature the introduction of the next wave of new Ceros products and services.

“Ceros is well known for empowering marketers to think creatively,” says John Avirett, General Partner, Greenspring Associates, “but we have also come to know Ceros as a highly capital efficient business, which is a refreshing change in the burn-rate happy world of digital. We’re confident that this investment will catalyze Ceros’ continued growth while enabling their team to opportunistically pursue acquisitions that enhance the core product and further penetration of key markets. Greenspring is looking forward to partnering with Ceros through their next phase of growth.”

Ceros is now utilized by 400 customers, including B2B and B2C giants like United Airlines, Red Bull, CBRE, McKinsey, and IBM; publishers like Mashable, Condé Nast, NBC, and VICE; and sports teams like the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, and Washington Wizards.

Since its last fundraise, Ceros has reached several major product, acquisition, partnership and integration milestones, including: the launch of Ceros/Inspire, a starting point to inspire content creation; the launch of Ceros/Originals, a reimagined digital publication led by Mark Healy, former editor-in-chief of Men’s Journal and editor at GQ and Rolling Stone; the acquisition and integration of ChartBlocks to help clients build and publish responsive charts and creative data visualizations without coding; and new partnerships with Google Fonts and The Noun Project, and marketing integrations with HubSpot and Marketo.

“There’s a lot of noise in the content marketing space, and a lot of it is comprised of repackaged and recycled ideas tethered to content practices that will be outdated in two years,” says Ben Plomion, CMO, GumGum. “We work with Ceros because they share our core belief that every piece of content should embody a visceral connection to its human audience, and they help us envision a creative world without limits.”

“For in-house teams mired in the daily trench warfare of digital marketing, creativity and design can feel uncomfortable and even disconnected to business outcomes,” says Simon Berg, Chief Executive Officer, Ceros. “Yet any marketer worth their salt knows that buying decisions are made as much from heart as they are from intellect. This additional funding will allow us build on our core belief that emotion matters and digital experience matters. The new capital also enables further innovation around our core Ceros Studio platform, strategic acquisitions, and a continued nurturing of our product and services ecosystem.”

About Ceros:

Ceros is a cloud-based professional content creation platform that empowers marketers and designers to create rich interactive content without code or traditional web development. The Ceros studio is the only platform of its kind with the ability to produce creative content experiences at scale. Founded in 2013, Ceros has offices in New York and London and is used by many of the world’s top brands. Learn more about Ceros at ceros.com and follow them online @cerosdotcom.

Today, Greenspring manages approximately $8.7 billion in capital commitments across a variety of solutions and bespoke venture capital strategies.

Oral-B vislumbra un futuro en el que los seres humanos vivirán más tiempo y más sanos a través del cuidado dental en su hogar. Stephen Squire, director global de marca de Oral-B, declara: «Imagine: ¿qué sucedería si un futuro dispositivo dental pudiera decirle todo lo que necesita saber sobre la salud personal, y pudiera conectarse directamente con su dentista y profesional sanitario siempre que sea necesario, sin inconvenientes y lo antes posible?». Oral-B prevé un futuro que permitirá a las personas llevar a cabo la monitorización de la salud en el hogar como parte de su rutina diaria de cuidado bucal, la que les proporcionará información en tiempo real para permitir el diagnóstico y la prevención. Squire agrega: «El concepto del “Biometric Health Tracker” es nuestra idea de una plataforma de salud de 360 grados, diseñada para mejorar tanto la salud oral como la salud general. No es un producto terminado. Es una visión que permitirá realizar un trabajo pionero entre los profesionales de la odontología, los investigadores externos y los científicos de Oral-B por igual.

La tecnología de IA rastrea los lugares donde las personas se cepillan la boca y ofrece información personalizada sobre las áreas que requieren atención adicional, para lograr una mejor salud bucal.

NUEVO Oral-B GENIUS X: una innovación relevante que lo convierte en el favorito de los odontólogos

La investigación de Oral-B con dentistas ha demostrado que la innovación tiene éxito cuando es simple y fácil de usar. El GENIUS X con tecnología de Inteligencia Artificial funciona a la perfección, sin tener que cambiar sus hábitos o estilo de cepillado. Funciona en segundo plano. Lo que lo hace tan exclusivo es que ha aprendido de miles de diferentes estilos de cepillado: «Cada paciente es único, por eso buscamos soluciones que se adapten al individuo. Oral-B ofrece a los pacientes una experiencia de cepillado excelente y personalizada, sin tener que cambiar la forma en que se cepillan para lograr su mejor resultado de salud bucal. Esto lo convierte en un gran avance», afirma el profesor Dr. Ralf Rössler de la Universidad de Tecnologías Digitales en Odontología y Medicina de Luxemburgo. El GENIUS X con Inteligencia Artificial es el primer paso hacia el futuro, en el que los dispositivos inteligentes utilizarán la analítica de datos y convertirán un dispositivo dental en el elemento más importante de la rutina diaria de la salud de las personas. Los asistentes al MWC serán los primeros en probar el Oral-B GENIUS X con Inteligencia Artificial y la visión futurista de la marca.

El NUEVO Oral-B GENIUS X con Inteligencia Artificial completa la gama de cepillos de dientes Oral-B con cabezal redondo para ayudar a todo el mundo a cepillarse lo mejor posible:

En 2019, Oral-B ofrece una cartera en la que cada uno encuentra el mejor y más innovador producto según sus necesidades especiales:

El Oral-B GENIUS X con Inteligencia Artificial, sabe cómo se cepillan los usuarios y les ayuda a mejorar su salud bucal. Al igual que una huella dactilar, Oral-B sabe que la técnica de cepillado de cada persona es única. Ha aprendido de miles de patrones de cepillado.

El Oral-B GENIUS X con Inteligencia Artificial presenta un nuevo, elegante y moderno estuche de viaje que carga tanto el cepillo como un dispositivo USB, como un teléfono inteligente, para que viajar con un cepillo de dientes eléctrico sea más fácil que nunca.

Oral-B sigue siendo pionero en cepillos de dientes conectados que ayudan a entrenar y motivar a los usuarios de cepillos de todas las edades y procedencias a través de la aplicación Oral-B, que incluye la Oral-B Funzone y la aplicación Disney Magic-Timer.

En promedio, las personas se cepillan entre 30 y 60 segundos, aunque piensan que lo hacen durante 2 minutos. Con la aplicación, Oral-B aumentó el tiempo medio de cepillado a 2 minutos y 22 segundos, más de lo que recomienda el dentista.

El mejor dentífrico de Oral-B, Gum & Enamel Repair, ayuda a prevenir problemas futuros.

Los cepillos Oral-B Teen, Junior y Kids devuelven la diversión al cepillado.

MINNEAPOLIS et SUNRISE, Floride–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Entrust Datacard, fournisseur leader de solutions technologiques fiables dans les domaines de l’identité et de l’émission sécurisée, a annoncé aujourd’hui que la société avait signé un contrat définitif portant sur l’acquisition de l’activité de modules de sécurité matériels à usage général (GP HSM, General Purpose Hardware Security Module) de Thales, nCipher Security, qui exerce ses activités de façon autonome et séparée depuis janvier 2019 au sein de Thales.

Elle fournit également une plateforme éprouvée et reconnue qui optimise et améliore la sécurité des applications au cœur des initiatives numériques d’aujourd’hui et de demain, notamment l’Internet des Objets, les paiements numériques, l’émission de cartes et la blockchain.

« Cette acquisition est un excellent complément à notre expertise en matière de cryptographie et de matériel et développera notre capacité à répondre aux besoins de sécurité évolutifs de nos clients à travers le monde, tout en nous permettant d’accélérer notre propre croissance », a déclaré Todd Wilkinson, président et PDG d’Entrust Datacard. Il a ajouté, « La solution HSM à usage général de Thales, baptisée nCipher, bénéficie d’une solide position de marché basée sur un large éventail de cas d’utilisation, apporte avec elle des talents exceptionnels, et nous permet de développer des solutions encore plus globales pour nos clients. »

« nCipher Security se réjouit de rejoindre Entrust Datacard. La synergie entre nos solutions est puissante et la combinaison de nos organisations accélérera l’innovation pour nos clients à l’heure où ils adoptent des initiatives telles que la mobilité, le cloud et l’IdO pour développer leurs activités, tout en s’efforçant de protéger leurs données et de gérer un cyber-risque grandissant », a déclaré Cindy Provin, présidente-directrice générale de nCipher Security.

La transaction est soumise à la clôture de l’acquisition de Gemalto par Thales, à la qualification d’Entrust en tant qu’acheteur approprié par la Commission européenne, le Département de la justice des États-Unis, la Commission australienne de la concurrence et de la consommation, et la Commission néozélandaise du commerce, ainsi qu’à la satisfaction des conditions de clôture habituelles.

January Construction Starts Rise 2 Percent

Check out the latest post http://thenewsrabbit.com/january-construction-starts-rise-2-percent/

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The value of new construction starts in January advanced 2% compared to December, reaching a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $722.5 billion, according to Dodge Data & Analytics. The slight gain followed the loss of momentum that was reported towards the end of 2018, with total construction declines of 7% in November and 10% in December. Each of the three main construction sectors in January registered modest growth. Residential building climbed 4%, lifted by a rebound for multifamily housing. Nonresidential building edged up 1%, reflecting a stronger pace for its commercial building segment including large office projects in Reston VA, Houston TX, Boston MA, Austin TX, and Seattle WA. Nonbuilding construction also edged up 1%, helped by the start of a $1.0 billion natural gas pipeline in Oklahoma and several large electric utility projects. On an unadjusted basis, total construction starts in January were $51.5 billion, down 12% from the same month a year ago. On a twelve-month moving total basis, total construction starts for the twelve months ending January 2019 held steady with the corresponding amount for the twelve months ending January 2018.

The January statistics produced a reading of 153 for the Dodge Index (2000=100), compared to December’s 150. During 2018, the pattern of construction starts featured especially strong activity in June and October, which was then followed by declines in the months immediately following. This led to December’s reading of 150 for the Dodge Index, which was at the low end of last year’s range of activity. “January’s slight increase suggests that construction starts are beginning to stabilize after the diminished activity reported at the end of last year,” stated Robert A. Murray, chief economist for Dodge Data & Analytics. “This is consistent with the belief that total construction starts for 2019 will be able to stay close to last year’s volume. It’s true that the rate of growth for total construction starts has subsided from the 7% annual gain reported back in 2017, but it’s still too early to say that construction activity has made the transition from deceleration to decline.”

“In early 2019, there are several near-term positives for construction,” Murray continued. “Interest rates have settled back from levels reached during last year’s fourth quarter, material prices appear to be rising more slowly, and the partial government shutdown was brought to a close. The federal budget deal signed into law on February 15 included a 2% increase to $45.3 billion for the federal-aid highway obligation ceiling, as called for by the 2015 Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act. However, the benefits of tax reform on economic growth are expected to wane this year. Furthermore, the most recent survey of bank lending officers conducted by the Federal Reserve suggests that a more cautious lending stance emerged during the latter half of 2018, especially with regard to loans for multifamily projects.”

Nonresidential building in January was $245.2 billion (annual rate), up 1% following a 13% slide in December. The commercial building categories as a group rose 4% in January. Office construction picked up the pace, climbing 18%, and featured groundbreaking for these large projects – the $550 million Reston Gateway office complex (Block A and Block B) in Reston VA, the $350 million Hines office tower in Houston TX, the $225 million Amazon at Seaport Square office building in Boston MA, the $180 million Oracle office complex in Austin TX, and the $150 million Amazon Urban Treehouse office building in Seattle WA. Hotel construction in January rose 10%, helped by the start of the $245 million Westin Anaheim Resort Hotel in Anaheim CA, while the commercial garage category advanced 21%. Limiting the January increase for the commercial building group were declines for warehouses, down 13%; and store construction, down 24%. Despite its January decline, the warehouse category did include the start of several large projects, including a $95 million warehouse complex in Kenosha WI and the $90 million Savannah Port Logistics Center in Pooler GA. Manufacturing plant construction in January grew 9%, boosted by the start of a $125 million steel plate mill in Baytown TX.

The institutional side of nonresidential building slipped 2% in January. Educational facilities, the largest nonresidential building category by dollar volume, retreated 10% after surging 26% in December. Cushioning the downturn for educational facilities was groundbreaking for several large projects, including the $124 million Comal Independent School District High School #5 in New Braunfels TX, the $120 million Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College in Hanover NH, a $109 million high school in Gainesville VA, and the $102 million Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in Harwich MA. The healthcare facilities category in January dropped 11%, falling for the third month in a row, although the latest month did include the start of the $175 million University of Central Florida Lake Nora Teaching Hospital in Orlando FL and the $95 million Covenant Medical Center tower in Lubbock TX. Church construction, which experienced a 17% hike in December, fell back 34% in January. On the plus side for institutional building, the public buildings category jumped 46% in January, lifted by the start of the $525 million Utah State Prison relocation in Salt Lake City UT. The transportation terminal category, which includes service facilities, climbed 39% in January with the boost coming from the start of the $365 million Croton Harmon rail service facility for Metro-North in Croton On Hudson NY, as well as the start of a $90 million airport terminal at Lafayette Regional Airport in Lafayette LA. Amusement-related construction improved 1% in January, and included the start of the $167 million renovation of the Memphis Cook Convention Center in Memphis TN.

Residential building in January was $309.8 billion (annual rate), up 4% and rebounding from its 9% slide in December. Multifamily housing bounced back 14% following its 15% December decline, and was up 1% compared to its average monthly pace during 2018. There were five multifamily projects valued at $100 million or more that reached groundbreaking in January, compared to four such projects in December. The large January multifamily projects were led by the $150 million Watermark at Brooklyn Heights senior apartments in Brooklyn NY, the $146 million multifamily portion of a $250 million mixed-use complex in Washington DC, and a $128 million multifamily complex in Oakland CA. The top five metropolitan areas ranked by the dollar amount of new multifamily starts in January were – New York NY, Washington DC, Boston MA, San Francisco CA, and Charlotte NC. Single family housing in January was unchanged from the reduced dollar amount reported for December, which itself was down 6% from November. January’s rate of activity for single family housing was down 7% from the average monthly pace reported during 2018. By major region, single family housing performed as follows in January compared to December – the West, up 3%; the South Central, up 2%; the South Atlantic, unchanged; the Northeast, down 3%; and the Midwest, down 9%.

Nonbuilding construction in January was $167.5 billion (annual rate), up 1% which came after a 9% retreat in December. The electric utility/gas plant category increased 44% in January following a weak December, and January’s level was up 2% from the average monthly pace for this highly volatile project type during 2018. There were two large solar farms entered as construction starts in January – the $550 million Wright Solar Park in Los Banos CA and a $303 million solar farm in the Bakersfield CA area. There were also two large wind farms entered as construction starts in January – the $372 million Goodnight Wind Farm in Claude TX and the $150 million Clean Energy 1 Wind Farm in the Bismarck ND area. The public works categories as a group dropped 4% in January compared to December. Weaker activity was reported for highways and bridges, down 5%; sewer construction, down 5%; water supply construction, down 22%; and river/harbor development, down 34%. The highway and bridge category did include the start of the $229 million First Coast Expressway improvement project in the Jacksonville FL area, the $202 million State Highway 146 improvement project in Pasadena TX, and the $169 million Chelsea Bridge improvement project in Chelsea MA. Limiting the public works decline in January was a 20% increase for miscellaneous public works, which includes pipelines and mass transit rail projects. Boosting miscellaneous public works in January was the start of the $1.0 billion Midship natural gas pipeline in Oklahoma.

The 12% decline for total construction starts on an unadjusted basis for January 2019 relative to January 2018 was due to decreased activity for each of the three major sectors. Nonresidential building dropped 12% from a year ago, with institutional building down 18% and manufacturing building down 38%, while the commercial building segment ran counter with a 2% gain. Residential building fell 13% from a year ago, with single family housing down 13% and multifamily housing down 11%. Nonbuilding construction descended 10% from a year ago, with public works down 13% while electric utilities/gas plants moved in the opposite direction with a 6% increase. By major region, total construction starts for January 2019 relative to January 2018 showed this pattern – the South Atlantic, up 2%; the Northeast, down 10%; the South Central, down 11%; the West, down 12%; and the Midwest down 33% from January 2018 that included the start of the $2.0 billion NEXUS natural gas pipeline in Ohio and Michigan.

Useful perspective is made possible by looking at twelve-month moving totals, in this case the twelve months ending January 2019 versus the twelve months ending January 2018. On this basis, total construction starts for the most recent twelve months held steady with the amount of the previous twelve months. By major sector, nonresidential building matched the previous period’s volume, with commercial building up 2%, institutional building down 5%, and manufacturing building up 17%. Residential building advanced 4% compared to the previous period, with multifamily housing up 7% and single family housing up 3%. Nonbuilding construction fell 6% from the previous period, with public works down 2% and electric utilities/gas plants down 30%.
