SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21, 2020 — App Annie, the leading mobile data and analytics company, today released a report on Generation Z, How to Build a Winning Gen Z Strategy on Mobile, that reveals the mobile habits of this generation to help businesses understand and cater to this group.

Gen Z is quickly becoming one of the world’s most powerful consumer segments – as one of the youngest generations, Gen Z amounts to a third of the world’s population and controls an estimated spending power of $143 billion annually. With 98 percent of Gen Z owning a smartphone, on average receiving their first at the age of ten, it’s clear that businesses looking to reach this demographic need to meet them on their mobile devices.

"Gen Z has never known a world without their smartphone. They see the world through this mobile first lens," said Ted Krantz, CEO, App Annie. "As new consumers, businesses have an opportunity to earn their loyalty. App Annie connects brands to the mobile preferences of this generation."

"Leveraging data to understand how to best reach consumers on mobile is more critical than ever, and Gen Z’s importance for marketers will only increase in 2021 and beyond. Businesses need to understand the values and user preferences of this audience to create truly engaging experiences on innovative platforms like Snapchat." Skye Featherstone, Product Marketing Manager, Snap, Inc.

Key insights and statistics about Gen Z from the report include:

  • On average Gen Z users spent 4.1hrs per month on apps (excluding games) in Q3 2020
  • TikTok and Snapchat are the most over-indexed apps among Gen Z in nine out of ten markets analyzed, indicating the importance of a photo and video-first strategy
  • The finance and shopping app categories have experienced the strongest growth YoY with the Gen Z audience, with a 60 percent increase versus Q3 2019
  • Finance apps like Venmo and DANA are more likely to over-index on Gen Z in most markets, indicating an opportunity for mobile-first banks to capture Gen Z audiences
  • Gen Z is less likely than average to use the top 20 shopping apps, indicating opportunity for brands to expand their Gen Z reach within this space
  • Gen Z’s engagement is deeper in apps (excluding games), with 20 percent more sessions per user in top apps than older groups
  • The Core action gaming genre (led by Battle Royale games such as PUBG Mobile and Free Fire) accounted for nearly 25 percent of time spent among Gen Z gamers

The How to Build a Winning Gen Z Strategy on Mobile report offers significant additional insight into the behaviors and preferences of Gen Z and where opportunities for brands lie within this critical audience, including how these attributes vary across different geographies and categories.

SignOnSite is licensed by Trillium to provide a unique contactless worksite safety platform to help manage risk for complex construction projects

Leave a comment

A new digital platform radically changes risk and safety management in construction, which will be used in the construction of fueling stations.

HOUSTON, Oct. 18, 2020 — SignOnSite, the construction safety management system, today announced an agreement with Trillium CNG. Trillium is the Texas subsidiary of the Love’s Family of Companies that builds and manages compressed natural gas (CNG), electric vehicle (EV), and alternative energy fueling stations across the United States. Trillium will be using the SignOnSite personnel safety application to manage and protect workers at new CNG station building projects.

SignOnSite platform on all devices
SignOnSite platform on all devices

SignOnSite provides construction companies and their workers with a robust, but simple risk and safety management system that leverages the technology already on construction sites.

SignOnSite takes a highly unique approach to risk and safety management. Current systems require a top-down management model, where companies not only have to implement risk and safety management policies and procedures, but also have the burden of ensuring that the workers on site actively participate in them.

With SignOnSite, however, this model is flipped. The people on site are empowered with simple, straightforward technology that lets them easily engage with and participate in risk management processes. The construction company is then enabled with digital control of their sites and remote risk management capabilities.

For construction companies running complex projects, the increased efficiencies of a digital platform present a drastic increase in site management and safety risk management capabilities. Controls such as qualification and orientation management are complemented by productivity tools such as remote site visibility. Additionally, superintendents and project managers can manage site attendance, safety communication and even emergency evacuations.

Being a mobile app-based solution, SignOnSite is contactless and reduces COVID-19 transmission risk.

Job site safety is an ongoing concern for contractors, especially as process complexity increases which makes safety protocols more complex. OSHA estimates that nearly one-quarter of work-related industries are in the construction industry. Safety compliance and increased safety vigilance have been proven to reduce job-related injuries, reduce losses in time and money by 20% to 40%, and improve public safety.

Trillium is part of the Love’s Family of Companies which has a national network of truck stop and truck service locations. Trillium operates over 200 CNG fueling stations across the United States and offers services such as station design, construction, 24/7 operation and maintenance, grant writing, and commercial support. Building CNG fueling stations require unique design and safety measures to accommodate high-pressure tanks, including special installation procedures and using materials that are quite different from gasoline and diesel stations. CNG stations are subject to highly complex building codes and requirements and a more rigorous set of safety codes, standards, and regulations.

With SignOnSite, managers establish a site boundary on a digital map and workers are automatically logged into and out of the job site using a Passport credential set up in a SignOnSite smartphone app. In addition to attendance records, the SignOnSite app notifies workers of site safety rules, provides daily safety briefings, and shares work site information. It also can be used for site-specific orientations to ensure workers receive and acknowledge safety briefings. Workers also can use SignOnSite platform to store emergency contact information, qualifications, trade licenses and other data. A kiosk version also is available that provides on-site registration without the need for a mobile device.

"More mobile technology is being adopted on the job site, and we are seeing more North American companies like Trillium adopting mobile systems like SignOnSite to promote worker safety," said Mitch Harmer, Co-Founder & CEO of SignOnSite. "No other solution gives you real-time visibility into your on-site workforce while enforcing safety protocols and compliance. We expect more companies to adopt mobile solutions like SignOnSite to manage employee traffic and personnel safety."

In addition to registering employees entering the job site and providing safety updates, SignOnSite also generates site statistics reports to show worksite activity. Reports provide data such as the total number of site visitors, the number of subcontractors, the companies that visit the site, total hours, and more. Attendance data also can be shared with a Procore manpower register to calculate individual workers’ time on the job site.

About SignOnSite

SignOnSite is a personnel safety application used in construction, commercial, civil engineering, government, industrial, and utility sites. Proven in the field, SignOnSite has been used on more than 7,000 sites protecting 300,000 people. SignOnSite is designed to provide paperless management of workers on-site, including orientations, communications, and evacuations. With SignOnSite, managers get real-time visibility into their onsite workforce, including analytics for safety compliance and personnel management.

SignOnSite is headquartered in Canberra, Australia. For more information, visit www.signonsite.com.au.

Soul App is a cutting-edge, AI-driven social app now available in Korea and North America

Leave a comment

Soul App uses AI technology to create effective social interaction, providing users with a friendly and safe communication platform

SHANGHAI, Oct. 13, 2020 — Soul App recently launched in the Korean and North America markets. A new generation social media app with cutting edge technology, SOUL uses AI algorithms to match users with their ideal soulmate, giving users a safe and effective platform for communicating, sharing feelings, and finding new friends.

Soul App providing users with a friendly and safe communication platform.
Soul App providing users with a friendly and safe communication platform.

SOUL’s Product Development Team designed SOUL with the target audience of young people who feel lonely and find it difficult to make meaningful connections. The SOUL team believes that while technology is helping the world to become more convenient, the amount of real, meaningful interaction between people is also becoming limited. Young people today have a harder time finding the time and space for real, in-depth interaction especially with the limited, shallow social media options available on the market today. The SOUL team created Soul App to solve this problem using technology so young people can have a safe, friendly way to express themselves, have deep conversation, listen and be heard.

SOUL has two goals in creating a social app: the first goal is to provide a place for users to express their thoughts and feelings in a safe, open, and free environment; the second is to create a space for users to make deeper connections. SOUL believes that young people who are feeling lonely and having a hard time sharing their thoughts and finding deep connections will find a healthy outlet and new sense of purpose in Soul App.

SOUL creates a fun, safe, and friendly environment where users can express themselves, discover new interests, and create their own opportunities for more rich experiences. Upon downloading and registering for the Soul App, a user or "Souler," as they are called on the app, takes a free, proprietary "Soul Mode" quiz, which assesses their communication style, outlook on life, and other interesting individual characteristics. SOUL uses this information to match Soulers with similar views who are most likely to make the deepest connections with each other. Soulers then have full access to the app, which includes functions like Soul Cam, Audio Call, one-to-one chat, and a public social area named "Explore" where people can post pictures, feelings and thoughts, and short videos for the entire SOUL community to see. SOUL uses AI algorithms to provide Soulers with the most relevant and interesting content. SOUL doesn’t plan to pay anyone famous to promote the platform; everyone has the potential to become an influencer on SOUL by posting interesting content that other Soulers like and promote. 

Soul App is dedicated to creating a fun, safe, friendly environment for all Soulers. SOUL does not tolerate hate or obscenity and has implemented a rigorous system to create an environment free of illegal and unwanted content. Soul App’s dedication to bringing a positive experience and environment helps create a space for Soulers to have deeper connections without fear.

A series of promotional events and launches start the two-year countdown to Hangzhou’s sporting showpiece

HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 10, 2020 — A news report from China Daily:

The 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 will be held from Sept 10 to 25, 2022 in Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang province. China Daily is teaming up with the organising committee of the Games to spotlight the preparation for and facts about the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Preparations for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 are already in full swing and the Hangzhou Asian Games Organising Committee has held various activities to celebrate the two-year countdown in September.

A canoeing relay was held on Sept 6 in Hangzhou, host city of the Games, as a "teaser" to the celebration.

Five hundred canoe enthusiasts from all walks of life, led by famous athletes and representatives, set off from the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, and completed the relay through the waters of Qiandao Lake, the Xin’an River and Fuchun River across several counties of the city.

In each section, a team of 19 participants served as leading navigators, symbolizing the aspiration for the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Among them was 11-year-old Shen Xuanhong, who led the way through the Qiandao Lake section.

Despite his young age, he has been canoeing for three years.

"It usually takes me at least an hour and a half to get this far, but this time I finished in less than an hour."

"There were thrilling moments, like encountering big waves and getting hit by another boat, but overall it was pretty good," said Shen, gasping and smiling after completing the 7-kilometer course. Former two-time Olympic canoeing champion Meng Guanliang called on the public to live a green and healthy life during the relay event, adding that such events help more people develop a better understanding of aquatic sports, as well as of the Asian Games as a whole.

In addition to Hangzhou, Zhejiang’s other co-hosting cities of Ningbo, Wenzhou, Jinhua, Shaoxing and Huzhou also staged aquatic sports competitions and other sports-themed activities.

They were accompanied by events held across the province in cities, such as Jiaxing, Quzhou, Zhoushan, Taizhou and Lishui.

As part of the two-year runup to the event, on Sept 12, a garden party kicked off on the Hubin Pedestrian Street around the scenic West Lake in the city.

Plush toys of Feifei, the mascot for the 4th Asian Para Games, were also launched to the market that same day.

In addition, as a hit on the street, Hushang livestreaming space, China’s first outdoor 5G livestreaming studio, was designated as the livestreaming area for the Asian Games’ officially licensed products.

To date, more than 300 licensed products across nine categories have been launched for Hangzhou 2022, most of which were displayed at the garden party.

All official prestige partners of the Hangzhou Asian Games set up themed exhibition areas along the street, such as China Mobile, Alibaba and Hangzhou-based automaker Geely. For example, visitors can experience augmented reality soccer, watch the Asian Games using virtual reality technology, and watch the Asian Games live in HD at the 5G space station set up by China Mobile.

Alibaba Group’s Tmall platform also set up a booth to promote its online running event on Taobao, an online shopping app. Users can record their steps as they go about their daily routine, and for each 5 kilometers they achieve, they can win an Asian Games souvenir.

Furthermore, on Sept 22, HAGOC unveiled the sports pictograms for the Games, and initiated a global appeal for the slogan of the volunteers.

The sports pictograms, covering 40 sports and 59 disciplines, adopted the same design style as the Games’ emblem "Tides Surging", featuring smooth lines and dynamic graphics.

"The idea is derived from a kind of fete in ancient China and I hope more people will come to understand that the Asian Games is not only a competition, but also a gathering and networking event," said Yuan Youmin, designer of the pictograms and an associate professor at the China Academy of Art.

They will be employed in a variety of scenarios, including competitions, venue signs, public relations campaigns, broadcasting and souvenirs.

The HAGOC also started a global appeal for the slogan of the volunteers. Applicants can submit their proposals online, by post or on-site at the HAGOC office over the next five weeks.

Sept 22 also saw the launch ceremony for an Asian Games-themed documentary, which will take four Asian Games-related figures as its four leading characters, including former world badminton champion Li Lingwei, the Beijing Asian Games’ torch designer Bo Feng, Asian Games souvenir collector Wang Xiaowen and Wu Zike, who was the first person in the city to donate funds for the Hangzhou Asian Games.

"SMART HANGZHOU 2022", the first one-stop digital mini-program in Asian Games history, was released on the same day. Available through the Alipay app, it offers information on six aspects of the Games, featuring tickets, food, accommodation, transportation, famous scenic spots and shopping information in Hangzhou and other co-hosting cities. The HAGOC will take full advantage of the city’s strength in the digital economy sector in a bid to hold a smart Asian Games, said Chen Weiqiang, deputy secretary-general of the Games’ organising committee and vice-mayor of Hangzhou.

HONG KONG, Oct. 5, 2020 — Cryptocurrency has become one of the most prominent asset classes of the 21st century. Yet its complexity, volatility and steep learning curve has deterred many everyday people from enjoying its exponential growth. Kikitrade, launched by KKTD Technologies Limited, caters to the mass market through a mix of technological and user experience innovations, and a simple yet powerful product.

Commission-free crypto app designed for everyday investors

When Bitcoin was launched in 2009, it was meant for the mass. Despite the large market cap and liquidity it has built up over the decade, most investment platforms today were built to serve the professional traders, speculators and early crypto adopters.

Kikitrade is here to re-invent the crypto investing experience that the world grew custom to. After comparing and trying hundreds of investment apps worldwide, the company spent 1 year stealthily crafting Kikitrade.

With arguably the best user experience for the mass market, Kikitrade empowers crypto observers, millennials, GenZ, women and non-finance professionals to interact with digital assets with as little as US$1 at users’ fingertips. Kikitrade promises users zero commission and no hidden transaction fees, now and forever. For the idle funds, users can even make a deposit in the saving account to earn up to 5.5% annual interest payout. 

Proprietary community and social trading features

Kikitrade is not only an investment platform , but also a vibrant community of like-minded individuals seeking financial knowhow and well-being, making it one of the best community and education apps in crypto. Users can not only view, comment, and follow other users, but also participate in polls, games and Q&As. Moreover, users can access a personalised flow of market moving news aggregated from major media outlets, visualised trading indicators, as well as free tutorial videos.

Last but not least, Kikitrade’s ground-breaking Heroes function allows users to compare the historical returns and real-time positions of the community’s best traders meticulously verified by Kikitrade. Through the proprietary, battle-tested social trading engine, users can seamlessly copy every single move of the Heroes they selected, making the top-performing traders work for you in the crypto world. 

World-class standard of compliance, reliability and security

As one of the very few companies to receive a crypto exchange license in Australia, Kikitrade is complying with one of the world’s highest standards of KYC, AML, asset segregation, custodian, auditing, company governance, and clients’ protection.

Protecting clients’ assets is Kikitrade’s number 1 priority.  To provide the safest and industry-grade wallet, Kikitrade partners with Swiss-based crypto bank for insured custodian solution and Israeli-based cybersecurity firm for penetration tests. Kikitrade has assembled a team of senior engineers, financial architects and blockchain specialists, averaging 10 years of working experience in Alipay, Meituan, ByteDance, Credit Suisse, Macquarie and Goldman Sachs. The team is proud to create Kikitrade and is committed to growing with users.
