big, the leading marketing acceleration partner for emerging and breakthrough brands, today announced two product launches by client and footwear brand Gales. The launches follow Gales’s successful participation last September in big’s inaugural Sightline Bootcamp, a three-day immersive program that brought together six cross-industry brands with learning modules, expert lectures, cohort networking dinners, and consultations.

Gales’s two footwear launches this month include Pro Line, a new product line that expands their customer base into hospitality and all standing professions, and their capsule release in partnership with Nurse Blake, a nurse and comedian with over 2.5 million followers on social media. In addition to managing media strategy and activation across TikTok, Meta, as well as search engine and affiliate marketing, big also advises Gales on partnerships and other business opportunities.

The coursework and sessions for the annual Sightline Bootcamp draw from big's tested strategic frameworks and have been honed to ensure that media and marketing efforts are accountable to business impact and aligned with overarching company goals. Participants engage in five intensive class modules, each anchored by a proprietary case study developed by big. In addition to the core modules, participants have the opportunity to learn directly from industry experts by attending learning seminars on topics ranging from affiliate marketing and social to consumer intelligence and e-commerce.

Gales, an honoree in Fast Company’s 2022 Innovation by Design Awards, has since become a full-service big client and built upon Sightline learnings and applications by partnering with big to strategize and execute on the brand’s 2023 expansion plans, which include the new product launches.

In 2023, big is expanding Sightline Experiences to include new formats ranging from community events and half-day educational sessions to high-touch immersions like the multi-day bootcamp. In making Sightline Experiences a destination for “inspiration, education, and innovation,” big has also explored partnerships with other organizations who express authentic alignment with the mission to support next-generation founders and marketing executives.

James Beard Award-Winning Chef Stands Behind New Culinary App to Empower Kitchen Teams

Gavin Kaysen announces his partnership with opsi, a workflow app for chefs. Known across the country for his award-winning restaurants and advocacy for the culinary profession, Kaysen was opsi’s first investor and advisor.

‍

“If there is one thing our profession has fallen behind on, it is the power and benefit of technology. James [Passafaro] came to me with this idea years ago and we have piloted the program at Spoon and Stable, Demi, Bellecour and beyond,” Kaysen said. “It is a program that helps us with efficiency, savings and above all else consistency. I am excited to see this type of program make it into not only my kitchen, but the many kitchens it will help moving forward.”

James Passafaro and Matt Luckey founded opsi in 2019. Passafaro recognized a need for workflow tools for use in restaurant kitchens, and created opsi because he knew the best solutions would come from directly involving industry professionals.

Shortly after Passafaro began to work on opsi, Kaysen approached him to become Chef de Cuisine at Spoon and Stable. Passafaro took on the role and shared the platform he was working on with Kaysen, who recognized the value of opsi and wanted to participate in its growth. Together, Kaysen and Passafaro incubated and tested opsi in Spoon and Stable’s kitchen, building the platform into what it is today.

‍

"Chef GK and I share the same belief that opsi should be developed from the ground up by those who will use it. That is why our partnership with GK is so valuable to me,” Passaforo says. “We extensively tested opsi at Spoon and Stable before introducing it to other teams, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. This only reinforces my belief that those who work with these tools such as chefs, operators, and their teams deserve a say in the ongoing development of opsi."

Passafaro remained at Spoon and Stable until 2022 when he left his sixteen-year career as a chef to work on opsi full-time.

Kaysen and Passafaro share the belief that hospitality is a human-centered business. With their focus on providing comprehensive resources for chefs and their kitchen teams, opsi’s wants to bring the same approach to their technology solutions that Kaysen does to his restaurants.

As opsi’s growth advances, Passafaro and Kaysen will continue to work together to keep human-centered technology at the center of the company’s vision.

The program aims to develop, implement and track the impacts of a reusable packaging system for retail food products produced by local companies

Bold Reuse, the innovative leader in reusable packaging solutions, proudly announces the launch of Retail Reuse—a groundbreaking retail reusable packaging program for glass retail packaging. With the backing of Metro, New Seasons Market, Waste-Free Advocates, and PNW Packaged Food & Beverage Group's very own Hannah Kullberg, Retail Reuse represents a significant step forward for the environment and the economy.

Thanks to an $87,000 Investment and Innovation Grant from Metro in 2022, Bold Reuse has developed a closed-loop reuse model for glass bottles and jars that are commonly used by food manufacturers to package their products. The pilot program will operate until early 2024 and aims to provide substantial environmental and economic benefits to project stakeholders and the community at large by reducing emissions and costs associated with recycling and landfilling.

Jocelyn Quarrell, CEO of Bold Reuse, expressed her excitement, stating, "We are honored to work alongside this group of trailblazers to establish a first-of-its-kind retail reuse program using existing shelf-stable product packaging. Our objective is to create a scalable system that food manufacturers and retailers can access effortlessly as we expand our services nationwide."

Bold Reuse is currently supported at all 19 New Seasons Market stores in Oregon and SW Washington. Throughout the four years of its current partnership, the two organizations have together facilitated more than 76,000 reuse cycles.

“One of our most important sustainable packaging strategies is developing systems that allow our customers to have a lighter environmental footprint when they shop with us,” said Athena Petty, Senior Manager of Sustainability at New Seasons Market. “Through this unique partnership—and with the support of Metro—this reuse project will help us build the infrastructure to do just that.”

The partnership aims to develop, implement, and track the impacts of reusable packaging for retail food products produced by local companies in the Portland metropolitan area. The program will launch at all New Seasons Market locations, and customers will be able to purchase products from participating vendors as they normally would. Once customers have finished the product, they can return and drop used packaging in the Bold Reuse drop box at all New Seasons Markets. Bold Reuse collects, washes, and sanitizes the containers, then distributes the packaging back to vendors.

“The cost of glass packaging has hit an all time high. This is forcing manufacturers to move to less sustainable options like pouches and plastic. We need to develop a new system of reuse to allow makers to continue using the highest quality packaging for their products,” explained Hannah Kullberg from PNW Food & Beverage regarding the importance of offering reusable packaging.

Many makers in the food and beverage community currently offer glass return programs, which creates a great time burden to their businesses. Some businesses accept glass returns, but they stack up waiting to be washed. Other businesses turn away customers with glass to return because they lack the capacity or proper sanitizing system. This program will offer ease, finally making glass return a possibility on a large scale.

“We are excited to join Bold Reuse and local partners in piloting this new circular model. Waste-Free Advocates has built a large network of zero waste enthusiasts and we look forward to initiating an awareness campaign within our community to increase adoption, so that this model can be replicated beyond the Portland Metro,” shared Waste-Free Advocates President Brittany Wendell, expressing her excitement surrounding the program.

Visionary vendors participating in this program are Ground Up Nut Butter, Hot Mama Salsa, Sauvie Shrubs, Mickelberry Gardens and Sibeiho. Customers will be able to enjoy their favorite products and return the packaging to be reused again and again. As the program gains momentum, more vendors will have the opportunity to onboard.

Bold Reuse is at the forefront of creating innovative, sustainable solutions for the packaging industry, and Retail Reuse is yet another step towards a greener future.

About Bold Reuse

Bold Reuse supports companies incorporating reusable packaging into their business operations to reduce their waste footprint while expanding brand awareness and customer loyalty. New Seasons Market, Loop, Starbucks, Imperfect Foods, and the Portland Trail Blazers have partnered with Bold Reuse to help implement and scale reuse systems into their organizations. Recognized as a leader in the reuse industry, Bold Reuse received the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network 2022 Early Stage Entrepreneurs Award. Bold Reuse has helped customers divert nearly 2.5 million pounds of waste from the landfill. For more information, visit https://www.boldreuse.com.

Acentec, a leading provider of data protection solutions, is proud to announce the launch of bare metal cloud servers

Irvine-based Acentec today announced it is launching bare metal cloud servers, a type of cloud computing infrastructure that allows users to rent physical servers rather than virtual ones. The primary purpose of a bare metal cloud server is to provide users with greater control and flexibility over their computing environment, as they have direct access to the server's hardware and resources. This level of control makes bare metal cloud servers an ideal choice for resource-intensive applications that require high performance, security, and scalability. Additionally, bare metal cloud servers offer several benefits, including faster data processing, reduced latency, and improved reliability, as users have access to dedicated resources that are not shared with other users. Overall, a bare metal cloud server provides an excellent balance between the performance and control of a dedicated server and the scalability and flexibility of cloud computing. 

The product will be available on May 2023 to customers across the U.S. Here are some key features of bare metal cloud computing:

‍

• Dedicated Resources: Bare metal cloud servers provide users with dedicated resources, including CPU, RAM, and storage, which are not shared with other users. This ensures consistent and predictable performance, making it an ideal choice for resource-intensive applications.
  ‍
• Full Control: Users have complete control over the server hardware and resources, including the ability to choose their preferred operating system, network configuration, and other system settings. This level of control allows users to optimize their computing environment to meet their specific requirements. 
  ‍
• High Performance: Bare metal cloud servers offer high performance and low latency, making them suitable for applications that require fast data processing, such as big data analytics, scientific computing, and machine learning.
  ‍
• Scalability: Bare metal cloud servers can be easily scaled up or down based on the user's changing needs. Users can add or remove resources, such as CPU, RAM, and storage, without the need to provision new virtual machines.
  ‍
• Security: Bare metal cloud servers offer enhanced security features, such as isolated network environments, hardware-level security, and secure boot processes, which ensure the safety and confidentiality of users' data.
  ‍

“We are very excited about offering the benefits of bare metal cloud computing to our customers seeking high-performance and secure computing environments. With dedicated resources and full control over the server hardware and resources, bare metal cloud servers provide businesses with greater flexibility, scalability, and reliability. This makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require the performance and security of dedicated servers while leveraging the advantages of cloud computing. Additionally, bare metal cloud computing offers enhanced security features that protect sensitive data, making it a valuable solution for businesses in various industries, including healthcare, finance, and government. Overall, the use of bare metal cloud computing can provide businesses with a competitive edge by offering superior performance, scalability, and security, leading to increased productivity, efficiency, and customer satisfaction,” said Jeff Mongelli, CEO of Acentec.

For over 20 years, Acentec has supported and implemented electronic health records and practice management software. During that time, managed IT support and cybersecurity have become a necessary component of our turn-key solution. Acentec has become the preferred outsourced IT solution for many of our clients, and we have assisted in securing client networks and modernizing their infrastructures. To encompass the compliance aspect for our clients, Acentec developed the HIPAA Security Suite software and service. We have recently expanded our online compliance training offering; in addition to HIPAA compliance training, we now also offer harassment and discrimination, cybersecurity, bystander intervention trainings and more. Acentec continues to provide and grow on these areas of expertise to assist our clients nationwide.

Brand Signs Seth Hall, Former Executive at Olo

GiftAMeal, a food-tech startup founded by social entrepreneur Andrew Glantz that turns customer photos into meals for local communities in need, is proud to announce the addition of Seth Hall to its advisory board. Hall joins existing board members Phil Crawford (CTO of CKE Restaurant Holdings, which operates Carl’s Jr. & Hardee’s), Andrew Rebhun (CMO of El Pollo Loco), and Dan Sokolik (VP Marketing of Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken).

Hall brings experience as an entrepreneurial sales and partnership veteran with over a decade of experience in software, technology, and e-commerce in the hospitality industry.

‍
“We are thrilled to welcome Seth to the advisory board,” says Andrew Glantz, Founder and CEO of GiftAMeal. “His in-depth knowledge of how different brands operate will significantly help us learn how to navigate partnership opportunities and best meet their needs. In addition to his restaurant expertise, his genuine care for our mission of fighting food insecurity makes him the perfect fit for our advisory board.”

Most recently, Seth has partnered with a number of high growth agencies and startups in both consulting and advisory capacities. Previously, Seth spent nearly seven years at Olo and departed as the AVP of Enterprise Sales. At Olo, he was responsible for enterprise restaurant partnerships which grew to over 70% market share and went public with a 99% retention rate. After going public, Seth was a founding member of Olo for Good, with a focus on "doing good while doing well", and helped lead the initiative of Olo for nonprofits.

"A brand’s social and local impact is strongly influenced by where and how consumers spend their money, and it’s important to make decisions for your brand that effectively lead your consumers to participate in change,” says Hall. “GiftAMeal allows brands to bring a cohesive approach to give back in each of their local communities—while involving their customers too! I'm impressed with the work that Andrew and the GiftAMeal team has already done and could not be more excited to help moving forward."

Now available in 31 states at 550+ restaurant locations, GiftAMeal provides restaurant guests with a free way to support local food banks, just by taking photos of their food.

‍

Uneekor is delighted to announce the acquisition of a controlling interest in U.S.-based premium putter brand Evnroll.

The deal sees Creatz Inc., parent company to the South Korean golf technology company Uneekor, acquire a 70% share and controlling interest in Evnroll putters with immediate effect.

“We feel that Evnroll, as a 100% U.S. milled and technology-driven putter line, is a great fit for Uneekor’s precision analytics in the launch monitor space,” said Eddie Lee, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Creatz Inc. “Together, Uneekor and Evnroll will represent the highest level of game improvement, encompassing the full spectrum of performance-enhancing technology from tee to green.” 

Evnroll's founder and Chief Designer, Guerin Rife, will retain a 30% shareholding and remain CEO and Chief Designer of the company going forward.

“Our mission remains unchanged,” said Rife. “Evnroll was founded on delivering forward looking, real innovation, and technology that enhances every aspect of putter design and performance. Uneekor has the same vision for full swing analytics.”

‍

Eye Mini Standard

Through the merger and acquisition process, the brands found parallels between Uneekor and Evnroll, including the companies’ shared passion for innovation, design and engineering, and their commitment to produce pioneering solutions to help improve the golf games of players of all levels. 

“There is definitely an air of excitement around the place,” added Rife. “We’re excited for the future and what this positive injection of resources and knowledge will do for both our businesses.” 

Evnroll's putters first came to the golfing world’s attention in 2016 with a range of stunning 100% U.S. milled putters featuring designer Guerin Rife’s groundbreaking, patented SweetFace Technology—an innovative and unique mill pattern, engineered to deliver uniform performance across the entire hitting area of the putter face for unprecedented accuracy and zero dispersion.

Since then, the brand has won a host of accolades, awards, and elite tournaments across the globe on their way to becoming the second-ranked brand in sales in the Korean putter market. With corporate offices in Carlsbad, California—golf’s global heartland—the acquisition will see Uneekor further expand its footprint in the U.S. golf market.

MARVIN Media and Porsche Cars North America, Inc., are teaming up for another episode of Sound and Driven, a series of short films featuring some of music’s most respected artists and producers as they take their records on the legendary car test, in a Porsche Taycan Turbo. The series follows a long tradition of artists taking their records out for the car test to ensure each aspect of production is hitting just right.

Sound and Driven follows a carefully curated selection of artists and producers on a journey around Los Angeles in an all-electric Porsche Taycan Turbo to give new insights into the writing and production process of some of the world’s most popular artists. We share a unique behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, the circumstances in which each record was created, and the collaborations that made them so special. There are also unique technical insights from producers and insights into why the car test is such a valuable part of the creative process.

For the eighth episode of Sound and Driven, Porsche invites us to join artists Chase Atlantic who discuss writing their record Beauty in Death during the pandemic and the intimacy and immediacy of hearing the record in new environments, including the privacy of the Porsche.
As band member Mitchel Cave noted “Studio playbacks can come at the end of a stagnant day, and there’s only so much atmosphere your headphones can deliver. But nothing beats the car test,” Mitchel continues. “You got the visuals, you can turn it as loud as you want, you know what I mean? I think that’s the passion for music. The car test is as critical as it gets, pretty much the final stage of music-making. Especially if you drive a nice little Porsche. Joel Madden lent me his for a week and the sound system was phenomenal!”

Marvin Scott Jarrett, co-founder of MARVIN Media and executive producer of Sound and Driven, says: “We are excited about collaborating with Porsche Cars North America on the Sound and Driven series. Chase Atlantic as artists and producers are the perfect artists to highlight in Sound and Driven Episode 8.”

Each of the eight 10-minute episodes within the series will be featured on the Porsche Brand Hub and social media channels (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) with a reach of 37M+, along with MARVIN’s website, YouTube, and social media channels.

Executive Producers: Marvin Scott Jarrett, Geoff Cottrill, Gary Koepke, and Porsche Cars North America
