Excellently placed advertising has the ability to move audiences within target settings, converting new clients. However, a negative reaction can occur when ads invade safe or private spaces or infringe upon the work-home balance. So, where is safe when considering ad placement?

Consumers are constantly bombarded with social alerts from friends, family, work and brands. Because of these disruptions, many disable notifications for email and other social networks. If you want to market in real time, you need to send a text message. "Because text messages appear on people's mobile phones, they feel more personal than other kinds of marketing," said Luke Wilson, chief revenue officer of EZ Texting. "Texting allows businesses to do many of the things that traditional media does … without having to invest in extra hardware, labor, printing or media buys."
Giving back to the community is a fundamental part of EZ Texting's company DNA. Luke Wilson, EZ Texting’s CRO, is getting in the spirit by mentoring local youth leaders in the Mission of Hope Haiti internship program. The interns enter the program to help improve lives in Haiti, and also to help develop themselves.

According to reports, 90% of startups fail. That’s a staggering figure. Unsurprisingly, it has a profoundly negative impact on the economy. As CFO, you’re intimately familiar with the financial realities your organization faces, and uniquely positioned within the C-suite to ensure your company – whether a startup or established corporation – succeeds.
Such interactions are generally limited to companies that recognize early on that policy and regulation play a big role in their sector or product or to technologists who have a passion for public policy. Examples of successful interaction between startups and policymakers include drone manufacturer Matternet, telecommunication services company Callfire and car-sharing company Getaround. In each of these cases, key personnel made it a priority to interact with policymakers.
If you run a startup, chances are you’ve encountered the new millennial worker. The generation can be divisive.

Even admirers often question their penchant for groupthink, and find its members’ need for constant feedback curious. I choose to like it.
