The TikTok viral diaper brand adored by moms adds 800 additional Walmart stores in the USA thanks to hugely successful launch in 2020

Rascal + Friends

Globally adored diaper brand Rascal + Friends has been added to another 800 Walmart stores across the United States, thanks to last year’s hugely successful launch in Walmart stores throughout Texas. Rascal + Friends’ expanded Walmart reach across the US now includes distribution in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, Ohio and Oklahoma, as well as Walmart.com. Celebrated by parents and their little ones around the world, Rascal + Friends have set a new standard in baby essentials. Earlier this year parents took to TikTok to show the impressive absorbency of the diapers, pouring cup after cup of water in them with no leaks. The videos went viral as more and more families switched to Rascal + Friends. What sets Rascal + Friends diapers apart? Well, pretty much everything. Parenting outlets like Motherly, Red Tricycle and The Everymom have praised the brand on everything from their affordable prices and clean ingredients, to their ability to keep even the biggest messes contained. They offer seriously good performance, with innovative features like a 3D core for an increased absorbency area, custom-designed grip tabs, a unique deep pocket design, high back waistband, breathable back sheet and double leak guard. Rascal + Friends was born when a New Zealand mother of four identified the need for a premium diaper that checked all the boxes: premium yet affordable, exceptional performance and gentle on the most delicate skin. After testing hundreds of designs and unique features they set about creating an affordable diaper that didn’t compromise on quality and performance. With no nasties and boasting premium features, R+F diapers are designed to help prevent sneaky leaks and blowouts, while looking great too!. Keeping Rascal + Friends affordable was also key. “Diapers are a high turnover product that babies wear pretty much 24/7, so as well as ensuring little ones are comfortable and dry and parents are confident, we wanted to keep our diapers affordable,” says Matt Banfield, COO. “We’ve partnered with Walmart to distribute Rascal + Friends to help keep our prices affordable and our products accessible,” says Banfield. “Starting from just 17 cents per diaper, it’s our goal to provide seriously good diapers to as many people as possible, without breaking the bank.” Born in clean, green New Zealand, being both free of harmful chemicals and as environmentally conscious as possible are also of major importance for Rascal + Friends. Their products are certified by OEKO-TEX’s stringent Standard 100 materials certification, confirming the materials used are 100% free from harmful substances. Their products are also certified cruelty free and vegan by PETA! The brand is constantly evolving and fully dedicated to continually developing even better products that are also better for the planet. Finally, Rascal + Friends is all about community. Passionate about sharing its affordable-yet-premium baby products with families across the globe, the Rascal + Friends team take genuine joy in seeing happy little Rascals wearing their diapers and hearing success stories from happy parents via their social media channels. That’s where the ‘Friends’ part comes in! Last year Rascal + Friends donated more than 130,000 diapers between Hope Supply Co. in Dallas and the Houston Diaper Bank to help families during COVID. “This has been an incredibly tough time for families in need, so it was a priority for us to support our friends in Texas, who have welcomed us so warmly,” says Rascal + Friends CEO, Nick Mowbray. The donation came about from a conversation between Mowbray and award-winning actors Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. “Blake and Ryan contacted us about donations to charities and hospitals across the United States, so our Texas team suggested these diaper banks in Dallas and Houston that do incredible work in their communities,” says Mowbray. The final piece (for now!) in the Rascal + Friends puzzle are its Sensitive Wipes, made from natural and soothing ingredients such as moisturizing aloe, soothing chamomile and anti-inflammatory pomegranate extract. The perfect finishing touch for the happiest baby bums in town. Rascal + Friends premium diapers and sensitive wipes are available exclusively at Walmart. Premium diapers are available in sizes 1-6 across Bulk, Jumbo and Super Jumbo RRP $7.97, $19.97 and $39.97. Sensitive Wipes are available in a Single pack (72 wipes), Multi-pack (216 wipes), Carton (648 wipes) and Jumbo Box (1296 Wipes), for $2.97, $5.97, $15.97, and $29.97.

Purify Fuel’s nanO2 ESG Combustion Catalyst Provides Immediate Reduction of GHG Emissions Addressing “Code Red for Humanity” Declared by IPCC Report

Purify Fuel

In a report issued this week, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) issued a “Code Red for Humanity” citing that impacts from human activity are exceeding the limits set in 2015 for temperature increases. “Global warming of 1.5°C and 2°C will be exceeded during the 21st century unless deep reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions occur in the coming decades” cited the report. In a world looking for solutions, the report recognized that “from a physical science perspective, limiting human-induced global warming to a specific level requires limiting cumulative CO2 emissions, reaching at least net zero CO2 emissions, along with strong reductions in other greenhouse gas emissions.” It further stated “Our report shows that we need to be prepared for going into that level of warming in the coming decades. But we can avoid further levels of warming by acting on greenhouse gas emissions,” said report co-chair Valerie Masson-Delmotte, a climate scientist at France’s Laboratory of Climate and Environment Sciences at the University of Paris-Saclay. Calling for immediate action, the report stated, “It is unequivocal that the increase of CO2, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere over the industrial era is the result of human 10 activities and that human influence is the principal driver of many changes observed across the 11 atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere.” Propelled by this sense of urgency, major industrial companies are turning to Purify Fuel’s nanO2 tm family of Combustion Catalysts to provide an immediate reduction in greenhouse gases. “With the world’s focus on developing immediate fossil fuel alternatives, we cannot lose sight of the reality that the majority of industries are still dependent on heavy duty diesel fuel applications and searching for ways to reduce emissions” stated John Carroll, Chief Executive Officer of Purify Fuel. “We are pleased that the immediate benefits of our nanO2 ESG Catalyst to help diesel and biodiesel fuel burn cleaner is being embraced by these industries to reduce GHG levels immediately”. Purify Fuel has been identified as one of the world’s most innovative sustainable technology companies. Its nanO2 Combustion Catalysts provide a transitional solution that will help fight climate change until alternatives are invented. It successfully reduces CO2, methane and nitrous oxide, which together represent 98% of all greenhouse gases. The product has been extensively tested since the middle of last year and has been aggressively launched across multiple industries (rail, marine, oil and gas, and mining). Since 2018 it has treated 75MM gallons of diesel removing the equivalent emissions produced by more than 200,000 automobiles. Purify Fuel uses patented nanotechnology-based rare earth oxides to help large diesel operators save money and reduce emissions. Purify Fuel’s nanO2 ESG Catalyst® are custom blended to optimize diesel fuel, biodiesel and dual-fuel blends for marine, fracking, military, mining, power generation, and rail markets. The combustion catalysts increase energy harvested from each gram of fuel while reducing particulate matter emissions and soot created by incomplete combustion. Purify Fuel works directly with large consumers of diesel and biodiesel fuel to help them save money, increase power, and reduce emissions.

Enter Africa: Versus Africa seals fundraise as it paves the way for companies to access markets with ease

Versus Africa

Africa presents a $2.1 trillion consumer spending market for businesses seeking to explore new opportunities for their products and services. Enabling businesses to enter the continent is Versus Africa, a consumer insights platform, that has today announced a $850k pre-seed capital fundraise as it scales operations to support companies in Africa and around the world as they launch their products and services across Africa. A Techstars 2019 cohort start-up, Versus Africa helps brands get closer to their consumers by obtaining key insights and helping them make better business decisions. Versus combines online and offline consumer data to give brands actionable and competitive insights for the African market. Versus counts brands such as Pizza Hut, Vodacom among others and has partnered with several global agencies including R/GA to support their campaigns. The Versus Africa platform improves the go-to market strategy and approach of businesses selling in the continent. Through their unique African language sentiment analysis, the technology captures consumer insights using online (social listening and online brand tracking) and offline data trends (conducting in-person surveys through several thousand local scouts) to help brands inform, engage and adapt their product and service strategies. They ‘listen’ (for sentiment, trends and feedback) and then ‘ask’ (for opinions, about behaviours and motivations) to offer a complete insights package for businesses. Kemdi Ebi, CEO and Co-Founder of Versus commented: “We’ve purposely built our tool to help businesses “'listen” and ''ask” the African consumer to get true engagement and actionable insights. We’re helping them make sense of the thoughts and opinions of African consumers from varying backgrounds. For those who speak in different African languages and slang, we're able to accurately identify sentiment, trends and opportunities when we “listen” online. With real-time market research and unique patented tools that translate the complexity of local languages and cultures, Versus offers actionable insights to businesses that want to make their African market entry or continuing existence a success.” The complex nature of the continent with multiple languages, varying socio-political communities and cultural nuances means it has long been difficult for companies to be successful across multiple countries. Versus Africa offers a fresh lens into the market opportunity with their unique and dynamic research approach. “We have blended technology with boots on the ground to offer the purest insights to companies using Versus Africa. For the first time, businesses near and far are able to make better decisions on their product strategy in the continent. We are particularly excited because as we scale further, we are in pole position to be the go-to homegrown solution for easy, flexible and accurate research for the plethora of new local businesses cropping up across the continent” added Kemdi Ebi. Commenting on investing in Versus Africa, the MD of Techstars London Eamonn Carey said: "For the longest time, it’s been apparent that there is huge potential in markets throughout Africa - but one of the big challenges has always been getting real, detailed, granular data about users, habits, opinions and more. The Versus Africa platform helps local, regional and global brands get real, meaningful answers to their questions - helping them launch, grow and scale more effectively across the continent. I was incredibly impressed by the team, the tech and the vision they had to use a combo of tech and people to gather an incredible dataset for their customers." Various global research businesses have reported on Africa’s macro trends and geo-political events. Before Versus, there have been few that have achieved true regional and local market insights for businesses to make informed decisions. “How many Africans own and operate research in Africa? Not many. Africa deserves a local intelligence research edge born from within. There have been international research agencies and insights tools that have tried to explore Africa but only from a distant and macro lens, now, for the first time businesses will get true local insights to help them enter key markets across the continent. I hope our launch and growth propels more like-minded tech-focussed Africans to help grow this research industry” concluded Kemdi Ebi. About Versus Africa Versus Africa helps brands get closer to their consumers by obtaining insights and helping them make better business decisions. Versus combines online and offline consumer data to give brands actionable and competitive insights for the African market. Versus has served brands such as Pizza Hut, Vodacom among others and have partnered with several global agencies including R/GA.Versus Africa, a 2019 Techstars cohort startup, was recognised by Cannes Lion Festival for Innovation and it was the first African company to showcase at Slush Tokyo 2019.

ZIPPZ then personalizes formula recommendations for each individual, offering a “trial sampling” program, in which users finalize the perfect ZIPPZ formula to meet their needs. Dr. Knox stated, “I am particularly drawn to the ZIPPZ personalized consumer assessment, as health needs should be treated for individual requirements. I look forward to applying my experience in refining the cannabinoid system and medical applications to advise ZIPPZ on their vision that each customer receives a unique remedy for their health and wellness needs.” By integrating network pharmacology principles, ZIPPZ has maximized the effectiveness of 35 proven botanicals, including CBD, to formulate products to meet each consumer’s unique needs.

BEE Launches New Features to BEE Pro to Further its Mission to Democratize Content Design

BEE

BEE, a business unit of Growens and premier digital content design platform, released two new features to its BEE Pro product, a no-code email & landing page design suite currently being used by designers, email marketers, e-commerce, higher education, business owners, agencies and entrepreneurs. These updates come at a time when BEE is seeing substantial growth with its BEE Pro paid subscription, forecasting upwards of 9k paid users. The latest BEE Pro features include: Increased collaboration through “ Mentions” feature. Users can now use a mention (@mention) to alert any team member of updates collaborating on a design project. Improved processes through the new “ Notification Center. ” This update keeps the user informed on mentions, exports or publishing of active design projects. These new features further BEE’s mission to democratize content design.

They are able to invite their teammates to review a design, assign tasks and collaborate on all work completed in their specific brand, helping to keep the design process aligned. The notification center helps keep everyone up to speed with changes and edits for a faster collaborative process. These updates assure a faster collaborative process. “We are excited to see these new features go live in BEE Pro.

Cloud Conventions & MCI Group Partner with Medical Professionals to Deliver Virtual/Hybrid Events

Convey Services

Cloud Conventions, an enterprise virtual/hybrid event platform and the MCI Group, a leading global event management firm are partnering to deliver virtual and hybrid event solutions for medical organizations to complement their live events. The American Thoracic Society, a nonprofit organization focused on improving care for pulmonary diseases with more than 16,000 members worldwide, launched their annual conference in April 2021 as a 100% virtual event. They selected the MCI Group as its event management partner and Cloud Conventions as its virtual event platform. This August, the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses(AORN), guided by an abundance of caution from the recent surge in COVID cases, transitioned their hybrid conference to a fully virtual event under the guidance of the MCI Group. Their new virtual event will educate and engage attendees and exhibitors using the Cloud Conventions virtual/hybrid event platform. “Audiences for conferences hosted by medical professional groups have unique requirements and a heightened awareness of the risks imposed by the pandemic,” said Carolyn Bradfield, CEO of Convey Services, parent company of Cloud Conventions. “Medical professionals not only want to stay up-to-date on scientific advances, but they also need to complete continuing medical education (CME) to maintain licensure. A virtual, on-demand option for engagement plus education ensures attendees have a safe environment to meet their educational needs, interact virtually with other attendees and engage live or on demand with suppliers and sponsors.” The American Thoracic Society’s all-virtual conference in April brought together 9,000 registered attendees for 140 clinical and scientific sessions, 71 special networking events and over 3800 presentation sessions and scientific posters. The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses will offer on-demand and live sessions, a networking and innovation lounge, an exhibitor solutions center hosting in-booth sessions, product showcases along with an innovation theater. “Striking the balance between a live and virtual event environment is a strategic decision that medical professional groups must make as they consider event design today and even more in the future,” said James Kelley, Director at the MCI Group. “Our customers rely on MCI to guide them to deliver the best options that engage audiences before, during and after the event ensuring that virtual environments complement and not conflict with the on-site program.” A recent research study, “Association Trends: from Disruption to Opportunity” by Community Brands, revealed that 85% of association event professionals plan to invest more in virtual events in the next 12 months. This trend is driven by a 48% increase in members engaging more with their associations due to increased virtual options and on-demand education. The Tagoras 2020 “Virtual Conference Report” detailed that 75% of those delivering virtual events did so to reach audiences who could not otherwise attend. With the increase in COVID cases driven by variants, medical professional groups are now pressed to include virtual alternatives that are specifically geared to the industry, as they enter the busy fall conference season.
