BitClout Lists on AscendEX, Continuing Incredible Growth

BitClout Expands its Network Providing More Opportunity for Users to Convert

SINGAPORE, July 14, 2021 — AscendEX, a global cryptocurrency financial platform with a comprehensive product suite, is excited to announce the listing of the BitClout token (CLOUT) on July 14 at 1 p.m. UTC.

BitClout Lists on AscendEX, Continuing Incredible Growth

BitClout is the first social network built with its own custom blockchain as its foundation. This new type of social network allows any creator to have their own token that their followers can buy and sell.

BitClout is a token-based marketplace for shares in someone’s (or something’s) reputation and influence. If an influencer goes viral on Instagram for something delightful, their token will appreciate in value. If an influencer says something inappropriate on Twitter, it could hurt the value of their token. In theory, every public action from anyone makes the creator token’s price subject to fluctuation and thus is tradable on the marketplace.

"BitClout is a disruptor to the status quo of cryptocurrency and social media, and it’s just getting started," said Shaun Maguire, partner at Sequoia, an early investor of BitClout. "We’re thrilled to have AscendEx’s support of BitClout, enabling the world to trade $CLOUT and join this radically different type of social network."

"BitClout is about individuals taking ownership of the media they create," said Andy Artz, partner at Social Capital. "By delivering an open protocol for decentralized social networks, BitClout is the aggregation of coins and code designed to create the first true open marketplace for ideas. By partnering with AscendEX, BitClout isn’t the only one continuing growth; the creators are."

"BitClout has attracted a huge ecosystem of 120+ new development projects and companies building on top of it," said Johnny Steindorff, partner at Distributed Global. "As a decentralized, open-source and creator-focused network, BitClout has the potential to grow into the leading WEB3 social network layer 1."

Today, a post submitted to a traditional social media platform belongs to a corporation, rather than the creator who posted it. In contrast, BitClout is a fully open-source, decentralized project with no company behind it– it’s just tokens and code. This means every creator has a direct relationship with their followers without intermediaries, which unlocks new ways to engage and monetize that aren’t based on ads. BitClout’s architecture is similar to Bitcoin, except it can support additional features and complex social network data like posts, profiles, followers, speculation features, and much more with significantly higher throughput and scale.

The BitClout blockchain has its own native cryptocurrency, called BitClout (CLOUT) that users can leverage to do all kinds of things on the platform, including buying "creator coins." Anyone can buy the BitClout cryptocurrency with Bitcoin in minutes through the app’s built-in decentralized "atomic swap" mechanism, available on the "Buy BitClout" page. The number of CLOUT tokens in circulation is capped at about 10.8 million, roughly half that of Bitcoin, making it naturally scarce.

BitClout’s lead creator and architect, pseudonymously known as @diamondhands, is a part of a group of developers who created the BitClout blockchain with the intent of turning it into an enduring positive force for humanity that can bring competition and innovation back to the internet.

BitClout’s backers include an impressive roster of blue-chip Silicon Valley venture capitalists — Sequoia, Social Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, TQ Ventures, Distributed Global Temasek, Arrington Capital, Long Journey Ventures, Ideo, Alexis Ohanian — along with high-profile crypto investors Coinbase Ventures, Winklevoss Capital, Blockchange, Sybil Capital, Pantera, PolyChain, and Digital Currency Group.

AscendEX (formerly BitMax) is a global cryptocurrency financial platform with a comprehensive product suite including spot, margin, and futures trading, wallet services, and staking support for over 150 blockchain projects such as bitcoin, ether, and ripple.

MessageMedia announces new integration for HubSpot for integrated text messaging

Leave a comment

The partnership delivers the only five-star certified SMS app to the HubSpot sales and marketing community

DENVER, June 4, 2021 — Global business messaging provider MessageMedia (www.messagemedia.com) has launched SMS for HubSpot (https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/apps/marketing/marketing-automation/messagemedia-218459), an integration with the leading CRM platform for scaling companies and has joined HubSpot’s App Partner Program as an app partner with a certified integration.

With an increasing rise in email clutter and marketing noise, SMS cuts through with 90% read within 90 seconds (http://www.oracle.com/us/dm/omc-wp-mme-mobilemktg-15-4121699.pdf). There is a growing demand for hyper-personalized communications received in real-time, that truly engages.

The SMS for HubSpot integration, available globally, provides marketers with the ability to gain a single view of their customers through personalized cross-channel campaigns, all from within HubSpot’s CRM platform. HubSpot users can seamlessly add the cut-through of SMS reminders, confirmations, promotions and more to extend the effectiveness of their communications and marketing strategies.

Paul Perrett, Chief Executive Officer at MessageMedia said, "The need for businesses to be agile and adjust to changing customer behavior and preferences is greater than ever.

"We’re thrilled to launch SMS for HubSpot and to have our integration certified in their App Partner Program as we continue to help businesses around the world drive greater ROI, strengthen customer relationships, and increase referrals while saving time and money," said Mr Perrett.

To become a certified integration, integrations are required to meet specific criteria from HubSpot to successfully service and manage clients using the platform. SMS for HubSpot has also been featured as part of HubSpot’s exclusive Workflows app collection.

"At HubSpot, we’re always looking for innovative companies to bring into the HubSpot ecosystem," said Scott Brinker, VP of platform ecosystem at HubSpot. "We’re excited to have MessageMedia as a member of our App Partner Program and are confident they’ll bring meaningful value to our customers."

Last year, leading ecommerce retailer Vinomofo started using the MessageMedia and HubSpot integration to win back customers who had stopped purchasing wine for up to 12 months. Previously, they had used email campaigns but wanted to avoid relying solely on one form of customer communication. They decided to streamline and integrate all marketing and communication tools and processes into a single solution – HubSpot’s all-in-one connected platform.

Using SMS for HubSpot, Vinomofo was able to create automated workflows that segmented their customer base based on their last purchase dates, then send and track SMS activity within the one platform. Adding text messaging to their marketing toolkit achieved greater cut-through and re-engagement with customers they hadn’t been able to reach before. This resulted in a 50% increase in recovered customers, 21% more customer conversations, and 120x return on investment.

"We chose SMS in addition to email to help reduce churn because it allows us to reach more customers which creates better cut-through and engagement for our campaigns," said Mariano Favia, Head of Marketing at Vinomofo.

About MessageMedia

MessageMedia (www.messagemedia.com) is a global messaging provider that helps businesses of all sizes — from SMBs to enterprise-level — better connect with customers. With 90 per cent of messages read within 90 seconds and more than 65,000 customers worldwide, MessageMedia drives business success by creating engaging mobile experiences that customers love.

Leave a comment

DUBAI, UAE, May 20, 2021 — Yalla Group Limited ("Yalla" or the "Company") (NYSE: YALA), the leading voice-centric social networking and entertainment platform in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), today announced that it became aware of certain short attack reports that contain numerous errors and distorted, misleading and unsubstantiated claims regarding the Company. The Company firmly denies any allegation or claim suggesting that the Company did not provide true and accurate public disclosure about its business and financial performance. The Company stands firmly by the accuracy and appropriateness of its audited financial statements and other public disclosure filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and otherwise publicly disclosed to its investors.

The Company believes these short attacks were purposefully designed to manipulate the price of the Company’s shares, with the aim of causing a stock price decline in order to economically benefit the short sellers, to the detriment of the Company’s public shareholders. These short attack reports also illustrated their authors’ lack of understanding of the Company’s business model and the feelings and sentiments of the Company’s user community. Yalla will consider any necessary and appropriate course of action to protect the interest of the Company and all of its shareholders, as well as its users, employees and other stakeholders.

The Company emphasizes that it has always been and will remain committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and internal control, as well as transparent and timely disclosure in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange.

The Company also operates Yalla Ludo, a mobile application featuring online versions of board games that are highly popular in MENA, such as Ludo and Domino.

MarTech Startup Affable.ai Raises USD 2M to Boost the Adoption of its Influencer Marketing Platform

Leave a comment

Investors: Prime Venture Partners, Decacorn Capital, SGInnovate

BENGALURU, India and SINGAPORE, May 18, 2021 — Singapore-based Martech startup, Affable.ai has raised USD Two Million from Prime Venture Partners, Decacorn Capital & SGInnovate. Affable’s AI-driven, Self-service SaaS platform helps brands and agencies run high impact influencer marketing campaigns. Affable brings transparency and analytics to influencer marketing and is being used by over 45 top brands and agencies including Huawei, Wipro, Pomelo, Fresh, Omnicom, Dentsu, and We Communications. The company tracks more than Three Million Influencers across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. With the fresh funding, Affable plans to expand into international markets such as the U.S.

Affable was founded by Nisarg Shah and Swayam Narain in 2017 as part of the Entrepreneur First cohort. The end-to-end Influencer Marketing Platform allows brands and agencies to streamline their influencer strategies throughout the planning, discovery, activation, and reporting phases. Affable uses advanced machine learning and big data analytics to help brands find influencers, manage and measure campaign performance. With the influencer marketing process being extremely manual, time-consuming and completely based on guesswork, Affable provides brands with data-driven insights and analytics to help streamline their micro-influencer marketing process. 

A global rise in digital consumption continues to propel influencer marketing campaigns among brands across all sectors. Being a mobile-first region along with its youthful demography and growing popularity of social platforms, Southeast Asia has become an ideal ground for influencer marketing to flourish and the market is estimated to reach $2.59 billion by 2024. Globally, the industry is very bullish and is pegged to reach $15 billion by next year. A primary reason for this growth is largely attributed to the large numbers of internet users and majority of them using smartphones. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has sped up the influencer marketing wave across the world. Cooped up at home, users are spending more time on social networking, gaming, and watching OTT content. The huge amounts of time spent online has prompted brands to work more with social media influencers on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to connect with their consumers. Subsequently, Micro-influencers/ Micro-celebrities can drive a much higher reach at a much lower cost.

However, with up to 6X ROI on micro-influencer marketing budgets, brands are still struggling to find relevant influencers and measure their effectiveness. Traditionally, the influencer marketing process involves finding influencers, vetting audience quality, tracking & measuring results manually. Affable has not only made this process automated but also intelligent by building proprietary algorithms around its data infrastructure where it uses advanced ML and image processing models for an accurate influencer-brand mapping and measuring campaign ROIs. The platform detects fake followers, discovers follower interests and classifies social media users based on brands, fan pages etc. Affable indexes all the social media users and identifies potential influencers that a brand could work with. Using Affable, marketers can find influencers, manage them campaign-wise, and measure post-campaign analytics such as engagement from in-target audience, influencer success(as a group and individually), measure the overall effectiveness of the campaign, as well as measure clicks and sales.

Including the current funding round, Affable has raised USD 2.8M from Prime Venture Partners, Decacorn Capital, SGInnovate, Entrepreneur First and strategic angel investors. Headquartered in Singapore, the startup has 20 employees working remotely across different geographies.

Nisarg Shah, CEO and Co-founder, Affable.ai

At the same time, participation from our existing investors is a great endorsement for us."

Shripati Acharya, Managing Partner, Prime Venture Partners

"Data-driven analytics is the need of the hour in the influencer marketing ecosystem which is a new and upcoming marketing channel and has picked up steam in the last 3-5 years. We believe that Influencer marketing will become a mainstream marketing channel for brands with a significant budget allocation. Affable’s tech differentiation will transform the way brands and agencies interact with micro-influencers and celebrities, ensuring they get maximum RoI from their marketing campaigns. We are excited by the demand and the potential for this service and are delighted to back founders who are extremely passionate and have deep expertise in this field."

Debneel Mukherjee, Managing Partner, Decacorn Capital

"As the lead investor in Affable’s seed round, Decacorn believes that ‘prime-time’ has arrived in the AI driven influencer marketing space to effectively monetize the hyper social behavioral changes in the post millennials. We are glad to have worked closely with the Affable team over these past two years in scaling their business from a product-market fit stage to a rapidly growing 6-digit MRR as on date. In order to help Affable scale beyond Asia into the holy grail of the USA we have ponied up in Affable to the fullest extent."

Keep an open mind and see for yourself

Leave a comment

BEIJING, May 8, 2021 — A news report by China.org.cn on the difference between "what people say" and "what you see":

Was there ever a time when "what you’d been told" and "what you saw" were totally at odds with each other? We often hear people say that Russians are tough people who keep bears as pets, or that Germans are rigid and have no sense of humor. When it comes to China, for many people, words like "conservative" and "lack of freedom" probably spring to mind. But is that really the case?

 

On the question-and-answer site Quora, the question "which country have you visited that turned out to be nothing like how it is depicted" created quite a lot of buzz recently. The top post is about China. The user said that having grown up in the 1980s and ’90s, when China-U.S. relations remained very tense, China was described to him at school in "villainous terms." But after moving to the country, he discovered that it was nothing like he’d been led to believe: Though China differs from the U.S., Chinese people are friendly, live normal lives and care about others. In the meantime, the nation is staunch in upholding their national sovereignty. At the end of his answer, the user encourages people not to believe the hype and to come and see things for themselves. Many in the comments section shared his opinions about China.

Under the same topic, a user from the U.K. shared how his opinions of people in the U.S. changed after spending a few months there. Similar stories about countries like Russia and Iran were also commented on.

Such answers are not unexpected. Take China for example: Vloggers from other countries have recorded the real China with their cameras, discussing how safe they feel walking alone at night, or the dramatic transformations of Chinese villages. What they saw themselves turned out to be completely different from what they’d heard.

Be it the huge gulf between "what others say" and "what you see," or the transformation of opinions after experiencing, these all speak to one point: The indirect information we get, either filtered through other people’s views or influenced by politics, are always limited. For Chinese, every day they see how diverse and inclusive the country is. They have also seen firsthand the efforts that China is making on various fronts. But it’s easy to understand why people from different cultures, used to different political systems, misunderstand China. When you don’t know a country, especially one hugely different from your own, it’s a lot easier to go along with a stereotype than it is to try and understand.

Even a coin has two sides, and in the same way, stereotypes can never capture every aspect of a vast country. The world is such a big place that it’s worth putting aside your preconceptions and experiencing it with an open mind.

You’re welcome to visit China and see for yourself.

Leave a comment

– Although the impact of Covid-19 has complicated communication and exchange between the EU and Asian countries, the interest of consumers and professionals in made in Italy fruit and vegetables has continued to increase.

BOLOGNA, Italy, April 26, 2021 — The second year of The European Art of Taste, the project funded by the European Union to enhance knowledge of Italian fruit and vegetables in China, Japan and China Taiwan, confirmed the growth trend. In Asia, Italian fruit and vegetables are popular thanks to their taste quality and an extraordinary ability to communicate their values in terms of tradition, production competence and taste excellence.

Despite a complex year like 2020, marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent limitations, The European Art of Taste was able to keep active the communication channel with consumers and professionals by participating in digital fairs, proposing events and targeted work on the press. The result of the press releases, for a total of 30 communications sent in target countries, marked an estimated total reach of over 12 billion users, thanks to the work carried out together with journalists and bloggers who spread the news. In fact, over 1000 press officers were involved for each single issue.

The work of the press office has decisively supported the dissemination of knowledge about the products among consumers, opinion leaders and professionals, marking a positive value in terms of awareness of made in Italy fruit and vegetable and processed products. This is also accompanied by the results of the social networks on WeChat, Weibo (with a reach of 27 million users), Facebook (+3 million users reached) and Instagram (+ 50 million impressions). The website confirmed its potential by reaching over 40.000 users and more than 50.000 visits, becoming the reference point for knowing the particularities of fruit and vegetables produced in Italy by Conserve Italia, Origine Group, Jingold, Joinfruit, King Fruit, Mazzoni, RK Growers and Oranfrizer, leading companies in the Italian and European sector.

The European Art of Taste project will continue in 2021 with its third year, focusing more and more on digital while waiting to be able to return to normal and involve consumers, journalists and professionals in incoming, in-store events and fairs.
