ITX Client Engagement

“DSD’s acquisition of InTWO’s Sage practice is a great example of the strength of ITX’s buyer network,” commented Matthew Putzulu, COO of ITX. “This addition by DSD will result in even more cutting-edge digital solutions.”

Kuni BMW Photo Studio: Every auto dealership is different

Today auto dealers do their retailing online. Photo studios are a requirement, not just an option. What do you do if you already have part of a studio?

Today auto dealers do most of their retailing online. Photo studios are a requirement, not just an option, for many. But what do if you already have part of a studio?

That was the challenge that faced Kuni BMW in Portland Oregon. They had a turntable and two white walls. The pictures didn’t provide the quality they needed to be competitive. But they were not going to buy a full booth. They turned to EZ360 to build out the rest of their studio so the store could stand above other dealers.

The EZ360 installation featured the FlightLight™ adjustable light system with LED lights, diffuser, and curtains. An automation system included fixed and mobile 4K resolution cameras for perfect spins, interior 360 panorama, and detailed photos. Lastly, EZ360 provided a custom VDP that showcased their new pictures along with closeup features and flaws.

According to Sven Woods, Kuni BMW GM:

“Everyone we talked to wanted to sell us a complete studio. But not EZ360. They customized their offering to give us only and exactly what we needed. We were able to leverage our existing studio and pay for the additions with convenient monthly payments.

“Their product and installation exceeded our expectations. Our photographer is saving a huge amount of time taking and processing photos thanks to EZ360‘s automation. We love the outstanding resolution of the 4K photos. The website photos are so good that our online visitors now feel like they’re actually seeing the cars in our showroom.”

EZ360 founder and CEO Izzy Alpert said:

“Every dealership is different. We customize our studio to deliver only what dealers need. If you only want lights, we just sell our FlightLight™. If you already have a turntable and walls like Kuni BMW or a circular booth, we provide the full lights plus cameras, automation, and amazing 4K resolution. If you don’t have room for the ideal studio, we design and custom build a smaller studio that will fit your space, or install a new steel building.

“The magic is in the software. We re-engineered auto dealer photography to ensure automated operation, instant website publishing, and 4K resolution. Our artificial intelligence cropping and enhancement will make your pictures look their absolute best, regardless of your studio configuration or where you shoot your pictures.”


ABOUT KUNI BMW

Kuni BMW is the largest BMW Authorized Center in Oregon. Located in Beaverton, Kuni BMW has been a member of the community for over 40 years. Kuni BMW became a member of the Holman Automotive dealership group with the 2016 acquisition of Kuni Automotive by Holman Enterprises. Becoming a part of one of the largest privately-owned dealership groups in the United States accelerates the journey that Kuni BMW started in 1969. Visit Kuni BMW at https://www.kunibmw.com/.

ABOUT EZ360

EZ360 provides the ONLY wall-to-wall photo studio with 4K pictures and full-screen custom VDP so you can compete against Carvana. The custom-built photo studio features 300,000 lumens LED light, diffuser, and photographic plastic walls with rounded corners so you can take beautiful and consistent photos from every angle. The 18′ heavy-duty turntable provides perfect spins at the click of a remote. There is no need to Push a Booth!

EZ360 automation lets you turn around and shoot a vehicle in less than 10 minutes. Photos can be taken by a detailer and are instantly published on your website. Our computer vision software – Smart Crop and Smart Enhancer – automates photo post-processing that used to take hours per day. Get a quote at https://ez360.tv or call (888) 88-EZ360 (888-883-9360).

Wicked Kitchen Kicks off 2022 with Global Growth, Expansion Plans

Plant-based CPG leader continues to stir the pot growing U.S. & U.K. product lineup, launching in Finland and targeting Asia for 3rd quarter 2022

Wicked Kitchen, a 100% plant-based, flavor-forward food brand in the U.S. and the U.K. with the largest variety of chef-created vegan offerings, announces the expansion into new markets furthering its animal-free global mission. The company is expecting rapid year-over-year growth of more than 300%.

The company launched into Northern Europe today, thanks to a new partnership with leading Finnish grocer S Group (SOK). From a line of fresh ready meals and frozen entrees to ice creams, snacks, and desserts, S Group introduces 25 Wicked Kitchen products at more than 200 locations across Finland and Estonia with plans to double its offerings by the end of the year.

“As a disruptive plant-based brand in the U.K. and the U.S., we are on a mission to improve the lives of humans and animals in even more countries by offering chef-created plant-based foods with a broader appeal,” said Pete Speranza, CEO, Wicked Kitchen. “By launching additional products where we already have a presence and expanding into new markets, we will continue to grow our range of delicious options to help meet the burgeoning demand for variety and flavor in plant-based foods.”

Like in the U.S. and the U.K., consumers with a range of tastes and preferences in Finland will be delighted by the wide variety of convenient plant-based meals and treats created by chefs and Wicked Kitchen founders, Derek Sarno and Chad Sarno. Wicked Kitchen also confirms today that it plans to launch into Asia by the end of the summer, starting in Thailand.

Having ignited the plant-based movement in the U.K., the number one vegan market globally, Wicked Kitchen is poised to repeat that success in other markets across the globe. In 2022, Wicked plans to add more than 30 new products in the U.K, including fresh ready-to-eat meals and sides, plus seasonal items such as chocolates for Easter. Wicked Kitchen launched in Tesco in 2018, becoming the pioneer in the multi-category plant-based space while establishing the retailer as the U.K. leader for plant-based products. This year, the brand will expand beyond Tesco stores into additional channels in the U.K.

In the U.S., the brand will grow its product set by 50 percent across multiple categories in Kroger and Sprouts stores nationwide. Exciting new products for the U.S. include first-of-its-kind plant-based ice creams with a lupin bean base, frozen pizza and heat-and-eat entrées. Select Wicked Kitchen products will be available on Amazon starting next month.

“Wicked Kitchen is unlike anything else that has come before it in the plant-based space in any market,” said Derek Sarno. “Wicked offers chef-crafted, mission-driven products created by exclusively vegan chefs and we put taste front and center while offering peace of mind that there are no animal products used, ever.”

To inspire and support plant-based cooking and eating, Wicked Kitchen partnered with Veganuary, a nonprofit whose annual month-long global campaign in January encourages people to try eating vegan for one month; it has more than 2 million participants worldwide to date. Wicked supports anyone interested in eating plant-based with the tools they need to take control –including recipes, meal plans, cooking techniques and videos– for consumers to rely less on animals as a food source. The company’s How To Start A Plant-Based Diet For Beginners provides basics of using simple plant-based meat and dairy alternatives, eating out at restaurants and putting together plant-based meals at home. For further inspiration, check out The Wicked Kitchen cooking show on YouTube for hundreds of free plant-based instructional cooking videos.

About Wicked Kitchen
Wicked Kitchen is a pioneering, chef-driven range of delicious plant-based foods that unleash the power of vegetables. It was created by chefs and brothers Derek and Chad Sarno, who are on a mission to improve the lives of humans and animals globally. They are also co-founders of Gathered Foods, the makers of the Good Catch plant-based seafood line. Available in the U.S., UK and Finland, Wicked Kitchen provides convenient meal solutions and increased availability of plant-based foods. Showcased on The Wicked Kitchen YouTube channel, the Sarno brothers have created hundreds of recipes and innovative cooking techniques to make it easy to cook delicious plant-based meals.

KIL N.Y.C. Relaunches the Classics Collection, Featuring a New Twist on their Bestselling Jewelry

Jewelry Designer, Konstantinos Leoussis, brings powerful stories and company roots to the forefront of the Classics Collection.

Jewelry collector and designer, Konstantinos Leoussis, is a connoisseur of antique jewelry, specializing in Stuart to Edwardian era works. An avid world traveler and lover of history, Leoussis explores the globe searching for antiques to buy, sell and draw inspiration from. His passion for mythology, and the reinterpretation of timeless motifs have become the blueprint for his Classics Collection, a capsule of bestselling jewelry that rethinks traditional symbols, such as skills, hearts, arrows, swords, and eyes. From embracing “emo” teenage years to honoring powerful women, the Classics Collection by KIL N.Y.C. is created for anyone to wear every day, no matter their identity.

Konstantinos I. Leoussis, Founder and Designer of KIL N.Y.C., says, “The Classics collection is just that – Classics. I wanted to fill out my own jewelry box with a modern take on classic motifs, like the eye and the sword. There have been dozens of different takes on these images, but I didn’t see my perspective in those pieces, so I decided to create my own! I wanted pieces that were bold but easily wearable every day. I’m constantly inspired by the world and people around me, and this collection definitely reflects that – many of the styles are named after people who have helped them come to fruition.”

The Kelly Sword Earrings and Pendant are Classics Collection signatures, memorializing Leoussis’ late friend, Kate Kelly, a social activist who fought for gender equality worldwide. Swords symbolize power and strength, and the Kelly Sword Earrings are no exception. The striking pieces are customizable, from all sterling silver to an 18K gold and diamond inlay, for a look that best represents the wearer’s inner warrior. KIL N.Y.C.’s Kelly Sword Pendant ultimately grants courage to the wearer, alongside its bold look, and is available in two sizes, including a mini pendant. A portion of each Kelly Swords piece is donated to Equity Now, a non-profit organization fighting for gender equality worldwide.

In the tradition of memento mori, KIL N.Y.C. uses the skull throughout the Classics Collection, reminding one of the inevitabilities of death, and the juxtaposed celebration of life. The Ossification Ring, Toi et Mort Ring, and Nehama Pendant all utilize skulls, which have historically symbolized protection as well as the unavoidable nature of mortality. The handmade Ossification Ring is elegant and striking, with diamonds as the eyes of the skull—a nod to gothic fashion. The Toi et Mort Ring is a cheeky play on popular Toi et Moi rings, which showcase two gemstones, symbolizing two lovers, a literal “you and me” in French. The Toi et Mort Ring is a bypass ring displaying two small silver skulls, also reminiscent of “you and me,” but rather in death, than in life. Lastly, the statement Nehama Pendant is named after Sarah Nehama, a close friend of KIL N.Y.C., and a talented goldsmith. A percent of all sales of this pendant will be donated to Friends of Long Beach Animals, in honor of Sarah’s dearly departed cat, Sterling.

Stories of ancient Greek gods and mythology inspire the Classic Collection, as Konstantinos reflects on past civilizations, and their rise and fall, through art and jewelry. The Diamond Selene Ring, with 14K gold and black diamonds, showcases a crescent moon of black diamonds with a white diamond centrally placed as an eye. Selene is the Goddess of the Moon, and the ring symbolizes how the moon affects the earth, with the eye as the centerpiece— a symbol of protection. Next, the Sapphire Helios Ring, featuring 14K gold with sapphires and diamonds, is a celebration of Helios, the Sun God. In the ring, bright sapphires are arranged to shine like the sun, with the diamond eye representing the sun’s effect on earth.

Leoussis designed a variety of dainty stacking rings as part of the Classics Collection as well, including the: Pave Limle Shield Ring, Pave Starbright Ring, and the Pave Witchy Love Ring. The Pave Limle Shield Ring symbolizes protection and safety. Its simple and comfortable shield design, packed with a stunning choice of gemstones for the pave, protects the wearer from negative energy. The Pave Starbright Ring is inspired by the North Star, showcasing a star filled with ravishing diamonds, leading the wearer towards the right path. Next, the Pave Witchy Love Ring represents a witch’s heart, a symbol of love and protection. It exhibits a playful heart, twisting with glistening rubies that are eye-catching, which pairs beautifully with the other rings.

In time for Valentine’s Day and the search for heart motifs, KIL N.Y.C. has two heart pendants within the Classics Collection. The Agape Pendant showcases many of KIL N.Y.C.’s favorite symbols: an evil eye, a witch’s heart and two arrows crossed. These notable symbols of protection, all fused into one, creates a transcendent piece—the ultimate talisman for protection and preservation. The Varlow Pendant blends the three swords tarot card, with a hand carved protective eye in the center, representing both great loss and protection in one piece.

The Classics Collection statement rings are the Amelia Ring and Ursus Ring, two bold pieces in all sterling silver. The Amelia Ring, named after the designer’s close friend, showcases a daring vampire bat, a symbol of longevity, with beautiful detail. The Ursus Ring displays a bold, full centerpiece of an intricately carved grizzly bear, symbolizing strength in silence, the perfect gift for the strong, silent type.

Lastly, KIL N.Y.C. Sadboy Pendants are inspired by Leoussis’ teenage self, who had “emo” days, like many teens. The pendants commemorate emotional vulnerability, out of fear of looking weak or not being ‘cool’ enough. Sadboy Pendants are customizable, from sterling silver to 18K gold, and illustrate a striking eye with three gemstone drops, as the tears beneath it. Celebrating that bad days are normal and that shedding tears heals, Sadboy Pendants commemorates the beauty in everyday pain.

Across collections, KIL N.Y.C. strives to create and package jewelry mindfully and sustainably. The company’s production cycle takes place in NYC, with local labor and the casting is done by a woman-owned business, also located in NYC. Precious metals and gemstones used are reclaimed and recycled as much as possible, in order to decrease environmental impact. Shipping is carbon negative, using recycled, biodegradable materials.

To contact KIL N.Y.C, email Sales and Operations Director, India Mankes-Falcon, at india@kil-nyc.com, or call/text 718-909-6429. For inquiries regarding this press release, email Pietra Communications at info@pietrapr.com or call 212-913-9761.

About KIL N.Y.C.

Inspired by a life of travel and antiquities, jeweler, Konstantinos Leoussis created KIL N.Y.C. in 2018, to showcase his love of old-world techniques and motifs. KIL N.Y.C. puts an edgy and modern spin on sentimental jewelry, creating styles that are both easily wearable and instant heirlooms.

Introducing RPG Brands: Igniting With Innovation in the Hearth and Barbecue Industry

RPG Brands, a U.S.-based fireplace and barbecue manufacturer, announced its formation as a multi-brand parent company that intends to be an innovative disruptor in indoor heating products and outdoor living technology.

Founded by Kris Richardson (President) ― whose Arizona-based family legacy and leadership within the hearth industry goes back nearly a half-century – RPG Brands is the parent company that contains innovative fireplace and BBQ brands, featuring: Modern Flames Electric FireplacesGrand Canyon Gas Logs, and Wildfire Outdoor Living.

Richardson made the announcement at the RPG Brands Retreat in October 2021 ― where he and his team hosted a select group of customers to showcase a first-look at cutting-edge virtual flame technology, upcoming innovations and product launches, as well as a highly-anticipated brand launch that will propel them into a new category ― gas grilling and outdoor living.

In 2008, Richardson began laying the framework for Modern Flames, with the goal of revolutionizing in a category no one else was in: electric fireplaces. Richardson and co-founder Tom Foy officially launched Modern Flames in June 2009 – the first North American company to create linear electric fireplaces. Modern Flames quickly gained national attention, winning the Vesta Award for Best Electric Fireplace, which launched a nationwide trend for linear electric fireplaces. Modern Flames was also celebrated for appearing five consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list.

Elliott White, a longtime fireplace innovator, joined the team in 2014 to develop and grow a new venture called Grand Canyon Gas Logs which entered the company into an entirely new category within the fireplace industry. White used the same formula that succeeded with Modern Flames, and Grand Canyon Gas Logs quickly became a key player in the gas logs industry.

In 2019, RPG Brands was established as the parent company of Modern Flames and Grand Canyon Gas Logs. Looking to propel the industry forward, the company created an in-house engineering team to design and develop new technologies for electric fireplaces and gas logs – a step to cement RPG Brands’ presence as an industry leader in creating the newest, most original products in the field.

In 2021, RPG Brands began its expansion into the gas grilling and outdoor living space when Richardson brought on Joe Lopez – previously of Lynx Grills, Fuego, & Spark Grills Executive Leadership – to establish Wildfire Outdoor Living. An innovation-driven, outdoor living brand employing over 20 years of BBQ industry experience to make precision controlled, perfectly cooked food more accessible within an at-home experience. 

Wildfire is slated to officially launch at the International Builders’ Show in Orlando, FL, from Feb. 8-10, 2022 with a Core Collection of products featuring professional-grade gas grills, griddles, burners and select outdoor kitchen accessories.

SAFETY MANAGER TRAINING FROM DISPATCH42 SCHOOL

Dispatch 42 School launches a new training course – Safety Manager

Just half a year ago, Dispatch42 launched the Freight Dispatcher Training platform – “Dispatch42 School”, a school where everyone can learn the profession of a truck dispatcher in a matter of a few months and start working right away. Both the idea and the truck dispatcher training have been well-received by online users that today 400 students from different parts of the world are studying at Dispatch42 School, and their number is constantly growing.

As far as is known, the demand for a product always leads to its modification and development. Today, the school is launching a new training course and invites everyone to learn another profitable profession from the world of logistics – Safety Manager

Who is a Safety Manager?

The US logistics market is a massive industry with an average turnover of more than $797 billion. Not only is this a constantly growing infrastructure, a network of highways and roads that expand every year, but also a mass of employees who work in this field. 

The entire system, or rather the work of freight carriers in USA, is under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Transportation. Under it there is a department – the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Administration (FMCSA), the government agency that regulates the operation of vehicles and freight transportation in the country.

The goal of this department is to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities on US roads. How? By means of rules that are uniform for all freight carriers, which they all must obey. Essentially, it is an enormous set of laws, details and indicators. Both the business owner and the driver are obliged to comply with them.

The Safety Managers are the specialists reviewing these laws and regulations. They research and then implement them into the company policy. Collaborating with a carrier company, Safety Managers develop a working system within their own firm so that it meets the requirements of the state and earns a good rating score.

They, much like the law, are interested in having only professionals who comply with the traffic management system in the United States to sit behind the wheel of the trucks. In part, it can be called Safety Managers the “guardian angels” of the firm, because without them and their involvement the company will not be able to obtain permission for cargo transportation, recruit personnel… or properly operate, in general.

Why is a Safety Manager necessary for every company in US?

The matter is quite simple and complex at the same time. The reason being that the rules and procedures of cargo transportation in the United States are very different from those in Europe or in the post-Soviet countries. USA is a country of high demands, and the process of cargo transportation is built in such a way that everyone is obliged to obey them. Anyone who does not follow suit will fall out of the system, as they are considered a potentially dangerous cargo carrier capable of provoking road accidents.

Moreover, each company has its own public profile where all violations are recorded: the number of accidents, violations in the driver’s mode of operation, ineffective vehicle maintenance, and so on. As soon as the indicator of violations rises to the so-called “alert level” or reaches the “intervention threshold”, the firm comes under the supervision of an inspector of the FMCSA. The agency automatically receives a notification that a company with an unfavorable rating is “at risk”, which means regular check-ups from an inspector, fines and even the risk that a company will be closed altogether for non-compliance with the law. According to the FMCSA logic, such a company has bad management, which means its drivers are a danger to others.

Safety Managers are professionals who give a business owner all the necessary recommendations in order to avoid these dire consequences. They also negotiate with representatives of the Federal Department, fill out all the necessary paperwork, and in short, they are the embodiment of the link between the law and the trucker.

Why is the work of a Safety Manager valued so much?

This kind of specialist offers valuable advice to any business owner on how to follow the law and successfully build a positively high rating for the company. And as is known, company with good reputation make more money in United States.

New innovative advertising website launches to get businesses millions of views for $1

The first website ever to rotate ads evenly in a spreadsheet uses viral marketing techniques.

A new website with an innovative approach to advertising seeks to be the answer for businesses affected by COVID-19 looking to get their message in front of a large audience inexpensively.

Steve Kadlec, 38, launched 5millionfriends5milliondollars.com after thinking it up while being sick with COVID-19.

On the site is a simple spreadsheet that contains 5 million rows.

Companies can buy their own row on the spreadsheet for $1 each per month.

Customers can then place advertising messages and links on the purchased rows, linking web visitors to their own websites or phone numbers. The rows refresh and rotate every minute to keep things fresh. Every advertiser on the spreadsheet is seen.

“I decided that whatever I made had to be something really inexpensive that everyone could afford and needed, and that I needed to utilize viral marketing techniques” said Kadlec.

In the week the site has been running, it has already sold over $500 of advertising space, $300 of it to a metaphysical gemstones and crystals company, and other companies such as jewelry makers, credit repair, farmers market / street vendors, marketing professionals and even a guitar riffs website.

“I’m hoping people understand the value of how quickly these type of things can grow on the internet and social media. It would definitely be worth it for advertisers to get a lot of attention,” said Kadlec.

“The journey with the website has been a lot of fun and interesting so far, and very educational. I asked people for advice on Reddit and a lot of people wished me well and a lot of of others told me they didn’t think it could ever work. But I’m already proving them wrong.”

A new website innovating marketing and advertising for businesses is now available for all to see. Visit 5millionfriends5milliondollars.com to learn more!
