Tocabe Indigenous Marketplace (Tocabe) and Red Lake, Inc. are proud to announce the acquisition of a 50% share in Arctic Circle Wild Seafood, based in the regional Inupiat Eskimo Village of Kotzebue, Alaska. Both Tocabe and Red Lake, Inc. acquired 25%, making Arctic Circle wholly shared by three Native-owned companies. 

“This acquisition is a step forward in growing and supporting the supply chain for Native producers, but also to actively invest in the development of Native producers,” said Tocabe Co-Founder and member of the Osage Nation Ben Jacobs. 

“Red Lake, Inc. is thrilled to expand our portfolio of high quality, natural food production companies by welcoming Arctic Circle Wild Seafood into our family. With over 100 years of commercial food production and seafood specific experience in our history we are incredibly excited to work with Arctic Circle Wild Seafood and Tocabe to bring high quality, Indigenous sourced wild Alaskan salmon to a bigger audience,” said Jaycob Robinson, Chief Development Officer of Red Lake, Inc.

“We’re pleased both Red Lake and Tocabe are now owners within Arctic Circle Wild Seafood’s family of fishers and quality customers and are excited about the new markets and growth opportunities they’ll help create,” said Arctic Circle Wild Seafood co-founders Mike and Lydia Scott. They added, “Our co-founders Betty Nelson and Nate Kotch were wonderful partners that will be missed, but they’ll continue to help market the company into the future and we’re looking forward to beginning work with Tocabe and Red Lake.”

Arctic Circle Wild Seafood (ACWS) owned by husband-and-wife team, Michael and Lydia Scott, and based in the regional trading village of Kotzebue, Alaska. ACWS sources sustainably harvested wild seafood from 90% of Native fishermen specializing in salmon, sheefish, cod, and more. Additionally, the company owns and operates on the furthest northern fishing point of Alaska. 

Tocabe has been a longtime partner with Red Lake, Inc.’s enterprise, Red Lake Nation Foods and both groups are dedicated to producing specialty curated products representing their cultural heritage. Red Lake, Inc. is already involved in fish purchasing, processing, and distribution by sourcing walleye from Upper and Lower Red Lake through the Red Lake Nation Fishery while additionally supplying Tocabe’s marketplace with products like wild rice and syrup. 

Launching this partnership is the beginning of Tocabe’s long-term plan of pushing and supporting Native-owned companies that want and desire growth. This announcement follows the recent commencement of Tocabe’s Direct-to-Tribe Ready Meal Program, which supplies Native peoples with ready-to-eat, healthy and fresh meals during a time of immense food insecurity. By partnering with Indigenous farmers, ranchers, and food producers, Tocabe and Red Lake Inc. are working to build a more sustainable and accessible food system for Native peoples while also providing Native and Indigenous ingredients to all who want to enjoy America's original foods.

“We are incredibly excited to begin working alongside Arctic Circle and to extend our decades long partnership with Red Lake. Bringing together three Native-owned food businesses is an amazing step in supporting the Indigenous foods system and extending the reach of the Native fishermen in northern Alaska,” said Jacobs.

Bold Reuse, a leader in reusable packaging solutions, is teaming up with the Oregon Convention Center to introduce a reusable packaging program for convention center attendees. This program marks a major milestone in the convention center space, setting a new standard in sustainability for events.

With a collective commitment to environmental responsibility, Bold Reuse, and Oregon Convention Center are thrilled to announce the implementation of the Bold Reuse Platform across select restaurants and cafés within the convention center. This initiative represents a major step forward in reducing single-use plastics and waste, showcasing both organizations' dedication to creating a greener and more sustainable future. By replacing disposable foodware with durable reusable trays and plates, the program significantly decreases the carbon, waste, and water footprints associated with conventional single-use plastic production and disposal.

"Our collaboration with the Oregon Convention Center underscores the critical importance of reuse in advancing our shared vision of achieving zero waste and carbon neutrality," stated Heather Watkins, CRO & Co-Founder of Bold Reuse.

"By eliminating the need for single-use plastics, we significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, minimize waste generation, and lessen the adverse impact of single-use plastic on our planet. As the first convention center to attain LEED certification, they have consistently demonstrated bold leadership in sustainability for the industry. Now, by spearheading the implementation of a reusable foodware packaging program, they continue to lead the way in pioneering sustainable practices.”

The Oregon Convention Center has long been recognized for its forward-thinking approach to sustainability, and the adoption of Bold Reuse's reusable packaging platform aligns with their ongoing commitment to sustainability. As one of the first convention centers to embrace such a program, Oregon Convention Center is poised to inspire other venues worldwide to follow suit.

"We are delighted to partner with Bold Reuse in this pioneering endeavor," said Craig Stroud, Executive Director of Oregon Convention Center. 

"By introducing the Bold Reuse Platform, we are creating a positive ripple effect that extends far beyond our walls. We are host to the imaginations that can transform the world, and engaging our attendees to be a part of the solution to our plastic crisis is incredibly exciting.”

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, Oregon Convention Center, Starbucks, Imperfect Foods, and the Portland Trail Blazers have partnered with Bold Reuse to help implement and scale reuse systems into their organizations.

Thanx, the leading loyalty and guest engagement platform for restaurants, together with Dreambox, a leading digital advertising agency for restaurant brands, announce a new partnership as part of the Thanx Preferred Agency Program, with Dreambox as its inaugural partner. 

“When Thanx approached us with how our companies could work together as a benefit to our clients, I thought it was incredibly strategic and innovative,” said Co-Founder and CEO of Dreambox Dan Bejmuk, an industry thought leader who serves as vice-chair of the steering committee of the National Restaurant Association’s Marketing Executive Board (MEG). 

Bejmuk went on to say that Thanx has recognized dramatic improvements in the client experience when a vetted agency partner, such as Dreambox, is part of the extended team. Thanx’s intention through its preferred agency program is to ensure that the collaboration has measurable results for all involved, including:

• Strong knowledge working with the Thanx platform from launch through ongoing iteration and optimization throughout the life of the program
• Brand-conscious messaging development within platform capabilities
• Solid experience with Thanx reporting and industry-proven key performance index (KPI) that hooks into external channels
• Ability to rapidly consume brand guidelines, proven-process to concept review/approval/feedback and ultimate program configuration
• Effective support process to accelerate program launch
• Recurrent training for agency-team members across all Thanx platforms (no need to wait for the agency partner to get up to speed)

Loyalty programs have undergone remarkable growth and changes in the past three years, and both companies acknowledge that being creative simply for creativity’s sake is no longer viable in today’s competitive restaurant landscape.  Brands are competing for guests’ attention amidst crowded inboxes, ever-changing social media algorithms, and constant ad bombardment while third-party delivery siphons customer relationships. 

Building on a number of successful collaborations across common clients where the results represented a deep look at brand differentiation, user experience and cultural relevance including Velvet Taco and Marugame Udon, the preferred agency initiative represents a natural evolution with an established mix of teams.

Marugame Udon, a 1200-unit Japanese brand with thirteen U.S. locations, launched its loyalty program earlier this year.  

“We needed our loyalty program to have its own identity,” said Kristin Yi, the restaurant brand’s director of marketing. “Our focus is to offer an extremely intimate experience to our guests through Exclusive with Marugame. The most effective way we’ve been able to do that was to absorb the program’s objectives with Dreambox’s creative and experiential expertise, along with the needed technology that Thanx offers.”

“We refused to launch a heavily-discounted ‘earn and burn’ program for Marugame Udon,” added Yi. “It’s just not who we are, and our extended team–Dreambox and Thanx–understood the importance of being culturally relevant.  They made our vision a reality.” 

Touchpoints, whether digital or in-store, have evolved to be more personalized and data-driven. While creative out-of-the-box marketing has helped in capturing guests’ attention, for restaurant marketers, it also needs to leverage data to help fine-tune a campaign’s performance illustrating its return on investment. 

Dreambox’s client roster reads like a Who’s Who of restaurant brands--Ike’s Love and Sandwiches, The Habit Burger Grill, Grimaldi’s Pizzeria and approximately 70 additional brands—with the Thanx partnership adding another layer of convenience with its best-in-class loyalty, guest engagement and digital ordering platform capabilities. 

Dallas-based Velvet Taco, a 42-store fast-casual taco brand created by FB Society restaurant group launched their loyalty program in the past year. The Velvet Room is a program that developed and evolved through deep cross-team collaboration. Velvet Taco’s Digital Marketing Manager, Jesse Worthington stated, "Our brand’s aggressive focus on continual menu innovation through our 'Weekly Taco Feature' meant we needed a platform in Thanx that allowed our relevant messaging to reach the right audience at the right time, as developed through our agency Dreambox."

“Loyalty empowers brands to use data to deliver personalized customer experiences that win guests’ attention amidst the noise of crowded inboxes and delivery marketplaces. But just because you have the data, doesn't mean you are maximizing its utility," said Zach Goldstein, CEO and Founder of Thanx.

“As a certified agency partner, Dreambox supports our shared restaurant customers in delivering differentiated digital touch points at scale, using the Thanx tools to ensure each communication is personalized, on-brand, and driving measurable sales lift,” added Goldstein.

Peel Away Labs, the New York-based startup renowned for its innovative and patented bedding products, today announced that its products would be sold and distributed by Medline Industries, the nation's largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the distribution of Peel Away Labs' flagship product—the revolutionary Peelaways patented sheets—to both retail and institutional partners across North America.

Peelaways are a type of fitted bed sheet and mattress protector that consists of multiple layers of soft, 100% waterproof sheets that can be effortlessly removed, layer by layer. The idea for Peelaways was conceived by Maxwell Cohen, the founder and CEO of Peel Away Labs, during his college years. Observing the hassle students faced with changing or washing dirty sheets and witnessing the struggle of his grandparents in changing their fitted bed sheets, Cohen realized the need for a more convenient and hygienic bedding solution. Peelaways, which are disposable, eliminate the need for laundering, resulting in considerable time, energy, and water savings.

"We are excited about our products being sold by Medline, the country's leading medical distributor, and will further our mission to transform the bedding industry by providing caregivers and healthcare institutions across North America with a groundbreaking solution that enhances patient care while streamlining the sheet-changing process," said Cohen.

According to a study conducted in 2020, approximately 41.8 million Americans provided unpaid care to an adult over the age of 50, constituting nearly 17% of the U.S. adult population. Out of these caregivers, 89% cared for a relative or loved one, such as a spouse. Changing bed sheets poses several challenges, particularly for caregivers. For example, physically lifting and maneuvering the mattress to access the sheets can be arduous.

Peelaways offer a superior alternative for various reasons: they save time and effort by eliminating the need to strip and remake the bed fully, offer a hygienic option with easy layer replacement, and cater to individuals with mobility or dexterity issues as they remove the need to lift or manipulate the mattress during sheet changes. Hospitals can significantly reduce the time spent changing bed sheets, allowing staff to devote more time to patient care. With Peelaways, one nurse can accomplish the task in less than a minute, whereas it typically takes two nurses up to 15 minutes to change a sheet while the patient remains in bed.

Peel Away Labs first gained public attention with an early prototype of Peelaways, which was showcased on the renowned tv program "Shark Tank" in 2016, garnering acclaim for its innovative approach to bedding.

About Peel Away Labs

Peel Away Labs is changing the sheets for consumers and institutions. Entrepreneur Maxwell Cohen and Carol Suchman, his mother, knew there had to be an easier and more convenient way to change fitted bed sheets, and he created Peelaways, an innovative, multilayered, disposable sheet to address this void in the bedding industry. Peel Away Labs was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in New York City. For more information, please visit www.peelaways.com.

CLICK HERE TO HEAR RARE INTERVIEW WITH DELILAH AND TONY BENNETT, WHERE THE ICON PRAISES LADY GAGA

STATEMENT FROM DELILAH ON THE PASSING OF TONY BENNETT

This morning as I awoke, I was so incredibly sad to hear about the passing of an extraordinary talent and a musical legend, Tony Bennett.

I had the incredible privilege of interviewing this legendary crooner, and his warmth, humility, and genuine love for music were always evident. Tony's voice was a rare gift that transcended time, and his artistry blessed the hearts of multiple generations. Unparalleled talent, dedication, and a genuine love for the craft were hallmarks of Tony's unprecedented career.

Tony sang not just with his vocal cords but with his heart, painting vivid emotions with each note he sang. His music was a testament to the power of music to unite and uplift.

Tony was not only an exceptional singer but also a skilled painter who devoted himself to his art with the same fervor as he did with music. He mentioned to me that he painted every day as it helped to keep his creative spark alive. When I expressed my interest in art and painting, Tony' beamed with excitement. Our mutual love for art created a bond between us that went beyond our shared passion for music.

One aspect that stood out in our conversations was his deep affection for Lady Gaga, as you can hear in an interview we did several years ago. Their collaboration was magical as their voices blended in perfect harmony, showcasing a beautiful synergy between two generations of incredible artists. Tony's admiration for Gaga's talent and his eagerness to share the stage with her was evident, and it was heartwarming to witness the mutual respect and affection they had for one another.

As we bid farewell to this icon, let us remember Tony Bennett for the inspiration he brought into our lives. His legacy lives on in the melodies he left behind, forever etched in the annals of music history. Amidst the sorrow we feel, let us also find solace in knowing that his music will continue to resonate and touch souls for generations to come.

Rest in peace, dear Tony, and thank you for sharing your incredible gift with the world.

—Delilah

Big data analysis shows that as the role of AI (Artificial Intelligence) gradually expands in the financial market, the future of stock and coin trading is gradually being revealed. Among these, the recently introduced AI-based automatic trading program, ‘MensAi,’ has attracted the attention of many people by clearly demonstrating the performance of AI.

As AI’s role in the financial market grows gradually, AI’s potential in the field of stock and coin trading is increasingly emerging. AI is excellent at predicting market trends in real-time and making optimal trading decisions by analyzing past transaction patterns and large-scale big data. This performance of AI is clearly demonstrated by the recently released ‘MensAi,’ and many investors have expectations and interest in MensAi.

There is a slight difference between program trading and AI-based trading. A program trading is an automatic execution of an order of purchase or sale based on a predetermined price. However, trading through the use of AI involves the adoption of a method of analyzing real-time market conditions and determining the timing of optimal trading. To that end, AI makes decisions on trading using past famous indicators and various big data.

Especially, AI-based trading bots, including MensAi, show high returns. Even compared to the best traders, the AI’s performance is excellent, and in the long run, there is a difference in returns from 5 to 13 basis points (BP). MensAi is effectively leveraging AI’s trading solutions and the ability to choose coins to provide great value to users.

In the field of trading, there are opinions that AI cannot keep up with humans. AI performs excellently in terms of information processing speed and pattern recognition. We are living in a society where AI is highly likely to replace humans. However, where there is a need for decision-making in a new environment or a comprehensive judgment, it has yet to replace the human role.

The MensAi bot is also attracting attention in the area of virtual asset investment as an AI-based automatic trading solution. Financial operators and private investors have now become able to leverage AI to make efficient trading. The MensAi bot provides users with a variety of functions, including tracking and managing portfolios and analyzing transaction performance. Experts are predicting that the rise of AI-based automated trading will shape the future of stock and coin trading. As the performance and capabilities of AI continue to develop, the trading capabilities of humans and AI are expected to be incomparable, and the field of trading is expected to expand into the realm of AI. MensAI, attracts attention as the AI-based automatic trading solution.

A spokesperson from MensAi said, “AI-based automatic trading solutions will play an increasingly important role in financial markets and will shape the future of stock and coin trading. Also, users are expected to make efficient investments using AI intelligence and technology.”

Meanwhile, MensAi plans to become the world’s leading company in the market for AI automatic trading solutions at the start of global services in various countries including Japan and Thailand.
