Cybersecurity Tech Company Sekur Reports Increased Traffic And Conversion Rates After Launching Revamped Website

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga This month, Sekur Private Data (OTCQB: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR (FRA: GDT0) announced the launch of its updated website, featuring all new product pages for its leading secure and private communications solutions: SekurVPN, SekurMessenger and SekurMail. The move is part of Sekur’s larger 2023 strategy to increase sales by growing brand awareness and driving more traffic to their site. “We are now seeing the beginnings of the strategy bearing fruit and are very encouraged to stick to our strategy,” said Sekur CEO Alain Ghai. “Our site visits are increasing, and our conversion rate is increasing as well.” The Revamped Website Better Showcases The Security And Privacy Features Of Each Sekur Solution The new website provides dedicated pages for each of Sekur’s major security and privacy solutions, giving consumers better information on how each solution works and what separates it from other products on the market. SekurVPN, for example, offers the world’s first commercially available Swiss-hosted, data mining-free, non-bigtech hosted, private encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs) on the market. Where other providers often rely on third-party hosting or bundle their VPN service with third-party add-ons like anti-virus software or ad blockers, therefore sharing users’ data with third-party service providers, Sekur’s VPN solution is truly private. It’s hosted exclusively on Sekur’s own Swiss-based servers and doesn’t tack on any third-party services. That exclusivity is key in a market where data mining and data leaks are serious issues. While VPNs are meant to protect a users’ data, some VPN providers, including a Meta (NASDAQ: META) subsidiary that was fined $20 million earlier this year, have been caught tracking browsing history and sharing other sensitive data that users thought they were keeping protected by using the VPN. Even when the VPN provider itself isn’t data mining, those third-party services that get bundled with the VPN might. This can make it challenging to truly guarantee a secure and private connection. By leaving out the add-on services and relying only on its own data servers, Sekur is able to guarantee users that their traffic and other data are not being monitored, logged or shared. Launched in April, the new SekurVPN service adds to the company’s portfolio of successful services including SekurMail and SekurMessenger. Both are also hosted entirely on Sekur’s Swiss-based servers to ensure no Big Tech or other third-party companies have access to that data. SekurMessenger is a mobile messaging app that offers multilayer encrypted messaging and the ability to communicate securely and privately even with people who don’t have the app. No phone number or other identifying information is required to register, and an optional self-destruct feature lets you program your messages to automatically self-destruct after a specified amount of time. An enterprise version is coming in Q4, offering mass onboarding and archiving of employees’ data for compliance purposes and the possibility of creating a complete private intra-company messenger service. SekurMail is a similar service but for email, giving your emails the same multilayer encryption and data privacy as the messenger app. Users can add password protection to individual emails so that only those with the password can read the email. It also offers a similar self-destruct option that can be programmed to delete the email after a certain expiration date or to delete it once it’s been opened a certain number of times. An enterprise version is also coming in Q4, offering mass onboarding and other email protections for C-level executives and management staff. Looking ahead, Sekur said it plans to market all its solutions to the 30 million small businesses and enterprises across the United States, starting with a series of digital marketing campaigns slated to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.

The Best AI PR Agencies You Must Know

Benzinga

By James Wells, Benzinga Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize a variety of industries. A technology with this much potential naturally prompts strong reactions from the public. Some reactions are positive. Others are hesitant and apprehensive about technology many aren’t familiar with yet. This is where public relations (PR) agencies come in. While everyone has encountered or used AI technology before whether they know it or not, a portion of the public still hasn’t made up their minds on it. PR agencies specializing in AI play a crucial role in educating your audience about the ins and outs of the technology as it relates to your product or service and demonstrating the benefits AI can bring to the table. Additionally, to increase brand awareness and credibility, a knowledgeable AI PR agency can land great coverage for your company and the knowledge leaders who are part of your team. SlicedBrand: Deep Understanding Of AI & Strategic Storytelling AI-focused PR agency SlicedBrand has a true passion for AI and many clients in the space – from Aimi’s generative music platform to HubKonnect’s AI platform that helps restaurants and other retail stores transform data into corresponding Local Store Marketing (LSM) campaigns. SlicedBrand’s team is well-versed in machine intelligence and learning, natural language processing, the inner workings of AI technology and more. This deep knowledge helps SlicedBrand craft stories that are easily digestible for the media and the general public. SlicedBrand focuses on the importance of strategic storytelling to the media, which serves a dual purpose. First, it enables the agency to navigate the complexities of emergent technologies effectively. Second, it cultivates strong relationships between brands, publications and their audience.

This focus amplifies client visibility and has benefitted a diverse range of companies, including industry giants like Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Xayn, Airobotics, CloudSight, Unbabel, Wasteless, Zebra Medical Vision, Syte, UVeye, and more.

Weber Shandwick: Data-Driven Insights & Ethical AI-focused agency While SlicedBrand champions a storytelling approach, Weber Shandwick, another key player, leans toward a quantitative, data-driven strategy, possibly lacking the personal touch and journalistic savvy inherent in SlicedBrand's operation due to SlicedBrand CEO’s deep roots in journalism. Nonetheless, Weber Shandwick is committed to promoting its clients' ethical data acquisitions that ensure an unbiased analysis and compliance with complex regulatory landscapes. This commitment positions Weber Shandwick strongly within the AI sphere, especially during a time when AI-driven misinformation is rampant, making high-quality data more essential than ever.

The partnership equips Weber Shandwick with AI models and network visualizations to monitor bots, activists, and evolving narratives – enhancing their PR capabilities when working with top AI startups. Embracing Tomorrow's Possibilities: AI Public Relations PR agencies have a tremendous role to play for each AI company that they work with. In addition to educating mainstream users, they actively work to counter the partially negative narrative associated with the technology. While each is known for its own secret sauce, SlicedBrand, Edelman and Weber Shandwick all push for a main goal – positive client coverage. In an industry so hot and ever-evolving, it’s important to bring on an agency that is in the thick of the AI movement already. Choose the professionals to get professional PR results.

WagerWire Announces Marketplace Integration Partnership with Betr

WagerWire

WagerWire, a marketplace technology and media company serving sportsbooks and bettors, announced today it has signed a technology integration and media partnership deal with industry innovator Betr. As part of the partnership, WagerWire’s proprietary tech, which empowers bettors to buy and sell active sports bets and fantasy entries, will be fully integrated with Betr’s platform in the future, allowing for trading inside both Betr and WagerWire’s mobile apps. WagerWire transforms traditional bets into assets that can be bought and sold at any time, unlocking new ways to strategize, speculate and profit. The partnership serves to further differentiate Betr’s core user experience in an industry inundated with commoditized products, while placing WagerWire’s innovative offering at the forefront of the sports betting industry. The deal positions Betr, who is rapidly advancing towards product parity with incumbent operators, to vault ahead of the field by becoming the first to combine the trifecta of microbetting, traditional, and secondary markets. “While secondary markets are commonplace for things like concert tickets, trading cards, and even fashion, it has yet to exist at scale in sports betting – until now.” said Zach Doctor, Co-Founder and CEO of WagerWire. “We have great admiration for what Joey Levy, Jake Paul and the entire team at Betr have accomplished as both a gaming operator and media company.” “WagerWire’s technology creates a new category that supercharges the fan experience. Sports betting should be as fun and exciting as the sports themselves,” Doctor continued. “This can only be achieved through a holistic approach that pairs an intuitive and gamified product with engaging media and an impassioned community. I’m proud to say Betr shares this vision.” An independent survey earlier this year found that if a sportsbook offered their users the option of a secondary marketplace, 76% would place more bets and 72% would place larger ones, growing the overall pie. Additionally, 84% would place more parlays and 80% would place more futures, improving the book’s overall bet mix in these profitable categories. The same survey found 90% of bettors would rather sign up for a sportsbook offering a secondary betting marketplace, and 76% would spend more time inside that sportsbook’s app. “We are excited to partner with the WagerWire team, who shares our perspective that there is a significant opportunity to enhance the sports betting user experience through product innovation,” said Joey Levy, Founder and CEO of Betr. “We are looking forward to integrating their technology into our new V1 sportsbook platform being built on top of the recently acquired Chameleon platform, which remains on track to go live next year.” The partnership also extends to both companies’ rapidly growing media divisions. In just their first 10 months, Betr Media and the WagerWire Media Network surpassed 1.3B and 250M impressions on social media, respectively. The two already rank among the most engaged sports communities on the internet, with both being finalists for Best Sports Betting Content at the 2023 Hashtag Sports Awards, which Betr went on to win. WagerWire’s technology fits hand in glove with Betr’s social ethos, creating new ways for fans to ride bets together and share in the action with their favorite influencers as well as their friends. The companies will kick off the partnership by co-producing their first original video series this year with other projects to follow. WagerWire first came onto the scene when it announced its seed round in 2022 with backing from the likes of Miami Marlins co-owner Roger Ehrenberg (IA Sports Ventures and Eberg Capital), 305 Ventures, NBA All-Star Richard Jefferson, and SimpleBet co-founder Scott Marshall, among others. Betr was co-founded in 2022 by Joey Levy and Jake Paul and is backed by Roger Ehrenberg and Florida Funders as well as NFL players Dez Bryant, Ezekiel Elliot and other high profile personalities. Betr recently announced the closing of a 35M Series A2 round. About WagerWire WagerWire empowers bettors to take control of their action and treat their bets as assets that can be bought and sold at any time. WagerWire’s proprietary marketplace technology can be directly embedded into sportsbook apps, and also powers the WagerWire app that serves as an aggregated marketplace of bets across partner sportsbooks. WagerWire also has a Media Network that generates daily content “By Fans, For Fans”. You can find WagerWire @WagerWire on Twitter and LinkedIn, or @WagerWireLive on TikTok and at WagerWire.com. WagerWire is dedicated to providing users with a responsible gaming environment. If you think you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, resources are available. Call 1-800-GAMBLER. About Betr Founded in 2022 by Joey Levy and Jake Paul, Betr is a leading sports betting and sports media company through Betr Gaming and Betr Media, respectively. Betr Gaming is an online sports betting and gaming business focused on a unique product experience with a simplified user experience that is catered to the casual sports fan, enabling Betr to capture more of the underpenetrated online gaming addressable market. Betr Gaming began with a microbetting-only online sports betting (OSB) product, allowing users to bet on individual plays and events – such as pass or rush on the next play in football or the outcome of the next pitch in baseball, and is expanding its OSB product offering to include additional markets with full sportsbook capabilities, as well as planning to expand into other real money gaming verticals. Betr Media is the fastest growing sports betting media brand in the United States that has grown to over 1.6 million followers, 1.6 billion impressions, and 84 million engagements across its social channels since publicly launching in August 2022. Betr is creating a unique flywheel by investing in content creators to drive brand awareness and affinity, which drives more audience and engagement with the Betr brand, allowing Betr to monetize its user base through a suite of gaming products which then enables further investment in content and brand affinity.

Uno Pizzeria and Grill Initiates Fundraiser for Maui Relief Effort

UNO Pizzeria & Grill

Restaurant chain Uno Pizzeria and Grill, known as the birthplace of Deep Dish pizza, has launched a fundraiser that will benefit the Maui Strong fund. The pizza pioneer has collaborated with Anheuser Busch brand Kona Brewing to make a donation to the cause with a purchase of Kona Big Wave Golden Ale from Sept. 11th through 17th. An in-restaurant purchase of a Kona Big Wave during that period will trigger a 20% donation of the total guest check going to this fundraiser. The program will be run through most of the company’s 70 locations, which are a combination of franchise and company-owned restaurants. The Support for Maui fundraiser, known at Unos as a ‘DoughRaiser’, is an effort that is near and dear to Uno’s CEO Erik Frederick. Frederick was stationed on Pearl Harbor during his time serving in the United States Navy. “The Aloha Spirit becomes part of anyone who lives in Hawaii and leaves an indelible mark on their life and soul. I even met my wife in Hawaii, so it has always been a meaningful part of my life”. Frederick continued “Upon hearing of the tragic wildfires in Maui, I felt very strongly that we as a brand could contribute to the fundraising efforts as the recovery process will last for many years. We found a real partner in Anheuser Busch and their brand Kona Brewing whose roots are in Hawaii. It was just a natural partnership and quite frankly the right thing to do.” “This DoughRaiser allows guests of Uno Pizzeria and Grill to contribute in their own small way” stated Uno’s Director of Marketing, Chris Dellamarggio. “People always want to support when there are worthy causes, but may not know how get involved. Allowing them to contribute as part of their everyday activities gives them an easy way to give to the cause. When those contributions are pooled together across a brand like Uno’s, they can add up to a large donation.” The Maui Strong Fund is a new fund that has been set up by the well-regarded Hawai’i Community Foundation that works to get funds directly to organizations that need funding no matter their size as part of their regular every day mission. The Maui Strong Fund has been set up get immediate relief to multiple organizations that need the funds to take action now. Information about the foundation and the Maui Strong Fund can be found at hawaiicommunityfoundation.org. About UNO Pizzeria & Grill Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Uno Restaurant Holdings Corporation includes approximately 80 company-owned and franchised UNO Pizzeria & Grill restaurants located in 18 states, and the District of Columbia, India, and Saudi Arabia. UNO is all about connecting people over pizza – from its famous Chicago Deep Dish, which UNO invented in 1943, to its Chicago Thin Crust, to its gluten-free and vegan pizzas. The Company also operates Uno Foods, a consumer packaged-foods business which supplies supermarkets, airlines, movie theaters, hotels, airports, travel plazas, and schools, with both frozen and refrigerated UNO branded products.

10 Reasons You May Want To Have Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ: MYNZ) On Your Radar

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The WHO reports that colorectal cancer is the second most fatal cancer around the world. However, it is also the most preventable, with early detection leading to survival rates above 90%. Alarming statistics reveal that new cases of colorectal cancer in individuals under the age of 50 have been steadily rising over the past few decades. Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death for Americans between the ages of 20 and 59 years old according to the National Cancer Institute. However, younger adults are not routinely screened for colorectal cancer as it is still relatively uncommon in their age group. Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ: MYNZ), a company that specializes in developing molecular genetic diagnostic solutions for life-threatening conditions, has created ColoAlert, an innovative product that addresses the need for easier and more accessible cancer screenings for quick detection and treatment of colorectal cancer. This non-invasive and user-friendly test aims to make colorectal cancer screening fast, simple and precise. The company seems to be gaining momentum in the industry, and here are 10 reasons you may want to keep your eye on them. Flagship Product For Early Detection Mainz Biomed has developed a flagship product, ColoAlert, which has the potential to establish the company as a frontrunner in the early detection of colorectal cancer. By providing a highly sensitive and accurate screening tool, ColoAlert has the capacity to revolutionize the way colorectal cancer is detected and treated. The test is the first DNA-based screening test for colorectal cancer in Europe, which sees the highest incidence rate for colorectal cancer. Tapping into A Multi-Billion Dollar Market While this innovative screening tool will be useful to young people who don’t get regular screenings, is not limited to younger ages. In fact, ColoAlert may have an annual market opportunity of around $3.7 Billion in the U.S. for testing populations aged 50 and above every three years, as recommended by the FDA. ColoAlert's unique genetic profiles allow for tailored treatment for each individual patient, leading to better health outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer. This revolutionary product is a major stride in combating colorectal cancer and has the potential to save countless lives. As GenX individuals age into their 40s and 50s, they become part of the age group recommended for colorectal cancer screening. This demographic shift presents a significant market opportunity as the demand for screening and related services continues to rise. Experienced Leadership Team Mainz Biomed has successfully attracted former executives from major pharmaceutical giants to its leadership team. CEO Guido Baechler, a former Roche Molecular Diagnostics executive, brings invaluable expertise to the company's strategic development. Additionally, Chief Commercial Officer Darin Leigh's extensive executive commercial experience across leading life science and healthcare firms further strengthens the company’s leadership. Positive Feedback And Upcoming Studies Mainz Biomed has already received encouraging feedback for its lead product, ColoAlert. This feedback serves as an endorsement of the product's effectiveness and potential impact on early detection. Furthermore, the company expects upcoming study data to validate the clinical benefits and efficacy of ColoAlert, further bolstering its role as an essential tool in colorectal cancer screening. Detecting Precancerous Conditions The company's focus on detecting advanced adenoma represents a significant stride in identifying colorectal cancer at a precancerous stage. By identifying and removing these precursors during screening, Mainz Biomed helps prevent the progression of the disease and reduces the risk of developing colorectal cancer. This early intervention can have a profound impact on patient outcomes and survival rates. Strong Price Target Analysts have set an $11 price target for MYNZ, reflecting the positive sentiment surrounding the company's growth potential. This price target implies confidence in Mainz Biomed’s ability to capture a significant share of the market and generate value for investors. The company has seen significant revenue growth in 2023 -- the revenues generated by ColoAlert in the first half of 2023 surged by 108% when compared to the same period in 2022 as the company expanded international commercialization for ColoAlert and entered new markets in Europe. This remarkable growth further solidifies Mainz Biomed's position in the industry and showcases its ability to develop groundbreaking products that meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients alike. Flagship Product Competes With Large Players Mainz Biomed's ColoAlert competes with Cologuard from Exact Sciences Corporation (NASDAQ: EXAS), a well-established company that commands a market cap of over $10 billion. It’s clear that even in the earlier stages, Mainz Biomed is shaping up to be a formidable player in the field of early detection for colorectal cancer. Expanding International Presence The company is actively pursuing international commercial activities to introduce ColoAlert to a global market. By expanding its reach, it aims to increase accessibility to its innovative screening product, ensuring early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer on a global scale. Strong Financial Position The company also boasts of a stable financial position due to ample cash reserves, enabling the company to fund ongoing operations and drive growth initiatives effectively. In June, the company secured up to $50 million in new funding. This financial strength provides Mainz Biomed with the stability and resources necessary to invest in research and development, expand its portfolio and bring innovative products to market. Strategic Partnership For Novel Biomarkers The company has established a strategic partnership with Microba Life Sciences to explore the discovery and integration of novel microbiome biomarkers into its pipeline asset, PancAlert. By leveraging Microba's expertise, the company aims to develop PancAlert into a potential first-in-class screening test for pancreatic cancer, addressing a critical need for early detection of this challenging disease. The Future For Mainz Biomed And Cancer Diagnostics Mainz Biomed is on a mission to become a leading global provider of easy-to-use diagnostic solutions for patients and healthcare providers everywhere. The company heads into the second half of 2023 confident of future growth as ColoAlert gains more traction in Europe and select international markets. The company also has a busy pipeline. It is ramping up enrollment planning for ReconAAsense – the company’s U.S. pivotal study for its flagship product – and executing clinical trials evaluating a portfolio of proprietary novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers for potential inclusion into ReconAAsense. Through its partnership with Microba Life Sciences, Mainz is also advancing PancAlert, its next-generation pancreatic cancer detection test. Interested investors may want to watch out for data from the company’s two feasibility studies. With a combination of innovative products, experienced leadership, an active pipeline and strategic collaborations, Mainz Biomed seems well-positioned to make a significant impact on the early detection of colorectal and potentially other markets like pancreatic cancers. Their commitment to pushing the boundaries of diagnostic technology and growth trajectory seems to be making them a force to be reckoned with in the industry, setting them apart from their competitors.

Logitix Names Live Entertainment Executive Wendi Rohan Lebow as Vice President of Open Distribution

Logitix

Logitix, a leader in live event ticketing technology and analytics, announced it has named Wendi Rohan Lebow as Vice President of Open Distribution. Lebow will oversee Logitix’s proprietary technology, Open Distribution, which allows venues and live event companies to distribute, price, and sell their primary ticket inventory across multiple integrated marketplaces that Logitix utilizes. Lebow’s extensive live entertainment experience includes leadership roles at TodayTix Group and Goldstar Events, Inc. Lebow’s role as Vice President of Open Distribution is a newly created position for Logitix, which works with venues and live event companies across the performing arts, music, and sports. As an innovative product that is changing how the industry sells and distributes tickets, Open Distribution by Logitix is a native integration with the organization’s primary ticketing system that allows designated tickets to be listed on the primary and secondary channels at the same time. The technology leverages the primary ticketing system’s native fulfillment methods, ensuring the fan gets their ticket and the venue obtains customer information seamlessly. At Logitix, Lebow will work cross-functionally with Logitix’s product, marketing, operations, and business development, in addition to collaborating with external partners to optimize the use of Open Distribution. “The demand and interest in our Open Distribution product from across the live event industry is skyrocketing daily, and the need for a top-tier executive to lead this area for us became clear,” said Logitix CEO Stu Halberg. “We are fortunate to have Wendi join our leadership team. She is a well-respected ticketing professional who has helped thousands of brands sell millions of tickets throughout her career.” “I’ve had the opportunity to partner with Wendi and her team when I was at Tessitura and she was leading venue partnerships for Goldstar,” said Logitix Strategic Advisor Jack Rubin, the Co-Founder and former CEO of Tessitura Network. “Wendi’s experience with distribution technologies, especially in the performing arts industry, is world-class. She is a tremendous addition to the Logitix team who understands the sectors served and will help the organizations create revenue. I look forward to working with her and building on the success created to date.” Lebow led venue relations and partnerships for Goldstar Events, Inc. for 15 years, rising to the position of Chief Venue Officer. Goldstar was acquired by TodayTix Group in 2021 when Lebow transitioned to the role of Vice President of Partnerships North America, a position that she held for the last year and a half. Earlier in her career, she worked with TMG – The Marketing Group, where she managed marketing and promotions for Broadway shows in New York and Los Angeles. She earned her BFA in Musical Theatre from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.
