Winter Wonderland Holiday Gala for Freelancers and Remote Workers


“At Squadstyle W&W, we believe in the power of community and the joy of coming together. Collaborating with Julia and Megan on the Winter Wonderland Holiday Gala has been such a pleasure, said Hannah King, Owner & Operator of Squadstyle Studio. “As a remote worker, I understand the comfort of working from home. However, I also recognize the importance of getting outside to network, collaborate, and make meaningful connections. Our coworking spaces are here to offer exactly that and I am incredibly excited about the Gala because it gives an opportunity for all remote workers to come together and experience the feeling of togetherness as we kick off the holiday season together.”

“This isn’t your typical corporate party! Frederick’s community of freelancers, entrepreneurs and remote workers is dynamic, interesting and fun. They are a big part of what makes Frederick vibrant and unique. That’s who we’re throwing this party for and I can’t wait to ring in the holiday season honoring and celebrating with them,” said Megan Donovan, Founder + Owner, SHIFT Work + Play.

The “Winter Wonderland Holiday Gala”, to include food, drinks, music, prizes, and plenty of opportunities to network, will be held on December 14 from 6 – 9 PM at Attaboy Barrel House.

Tickets, some with early bird discounts and perks, may be purchased here.

A raffle will be held to award prizes ranging from two months free at one of the three independent, woman-owned coworking spaces (winner’s choice) to gift card packages from a variety of local businesses.

Transforming technology marketing with a new approach: The Sappington Value-Based Methodology™


Sappington, a leading technology marketing firm headquartered in Seattle, WA, has launched a new approach to expedite technology companies’ marketing and sales results: The Sappington Value-based Methodology™.

SEATTLE, Oct. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Sappington, a leading technology marketing firm headquartered in Seattle, WA, has launched a new approach to expedite technology companies’ marketing and sales results: The Sappington Value-based Methodology™.

Unlike traditional tech marketing, which leads with the capabilities of a product, solution, or platform, the Sappington Value-Based Methodology directly maps tech company solutions to the outcomes and value that business and technical decision makers expect. It creates clarity and understanding within a company’s customer base about a technology’s value, generating more leads, opening doors for executive-level sales conversations, and shortening the sales cycle.

“This is a marketing revolution,” says Sappington CEO Tim Goggin. “Our innovation turns traditional marketing on its head to improve sales and marketing results significantly. It’s now the foundation of all our executive-level creative work.”

There’s third-party validation that a new approach is needed. A recent Gartner survey showed that 43 percent of leaders in tech companies have observed a significant shift in customer preferences from buying solutions to purchasing outcomes. A new MIT CISR study similarly found that organizations focusing on customer outcomes outperform companies still focused on products and solutions.

“Products and capabilities no longer suffice to capture the attention and loyalty of today’s discerning buyers—especially in today’s competitive business landscape and unyielding economy,” observes Goggin. “Customers expect specific business value and tangible outcomes from their tech investments. Reviewing capabilities is still valid but no longer the right way to start the conversation.”

The Sappington Value-Based Methodology utilizes the proprietary Sappington Outcome Engine to help tech vendors’ customers make faster, more confident buying decisions. The approach was made available to existing Sappington clients in August 2023 and is now generally available for new client accounts.

WJA Ruby Gala Promises an Unforgettable Evening of Glamour and Celebration


The evening will commence with a red-carpet entrance, where illustrious Patrick McMullan via Getty Images will capture guests in their finest moments. A flight of stairs will lead attendees past the restaurant and through private doors, where guests will be welcomed by greeters in bejeweled gowns by Astarte Creative. Butlers will line the hallway serving champagne on trays, setting the stage for an enchanting night ahead.

Upon arrival, guests will be treated to an elevated cocktail reception, featuring an array of immersive experiences and entertainment. The reception will showcase passed hors d’oeuvres and gourmet dinner stations, presented by Major Food Group—the global hospitality empire behind many of New York’s most celebrated restaurants, including THE GRILL, Carbone, Torrisi, and Lobster Club. The menu, a harmonious blend of culinary artistry across their signature concepts, will leave guests feeling satisfied and delighted. Cocktails, spirits, champagne, and wine will flow freely throughout the evening, ensuring every palate is catered to.

Acclaimed performers, beginning with the extraordinary harpist Lexie Lowell by Elan Artists in combination with a percussionist, will provide an unforgettable experience, playing sultry grooves ranging from Sade to Fleetwood Mac and more. Duo aerialists by Astarte Creative will perform alongside the musicians, against the backdrop of the ethereal backlit window chain curtains. Ensembles will don hand beaded, haute couture costumes, embracing an evening of luxury. Afterwards, internationally acclaimed urban rhythm musicians Drumadics by Elan Artists will bring on a high energy performance of trumpets, saxophones, and bucket drums, introducing John Green, President & CEO of Lux Bond & Green, as the emcee for the night. Founding members, international board and chapter past presidents, as well as scholarship recipients will be recognized for their contributions to WJA.

The highlight of the night will be a thrilling auction led by renowned auctioneer, gemologist, and jewelry specialist, Caroline Ervin via Lydia Fenet Agency. The featured lot, provided by Inspirato for Good, is a luxurious five-star corporate retreat package featuring a choice of iconic properties and destinations, including Costa Rica, Punta Cana, Kiawah Island, Rosemary Beach and more. Also included is a six-month Inspirato Travel membership. A paddle raise will also be conducted, inviting guests to contribute to the mission of WJA through their bids.

Following the auction, guests will be treated to a spellbinding performance by Astarte Creative, a dance act which seamlessly weaves together the elegance of Moulin Rouge Paris and the vibrancy of modern-day pop style New York, within a custom jewel-themed montage exclusively created for the evening’s guests. The night will crescendo with an electrifying performance by Lorenzo Laroc, the New York native virtuoso, on his signature five-string plexiglass electronic violin, playing a range of musical styles, from jazz and rock to Latin. Guests will be invited to revel in the ambiance, enjoy the lounge areas, and immerse themselves in the stunning surroundings and performances.

The WJA 40th Anniversary Gala seeks to raise funds to support the mission of The Women’s Jewelry Association, which stands as a beacon of empowerment for women in the jewelry and watch industries.

From the iconic and rich history of the location where the gala is being held, to the bespoke and immersive performances, and renowned composers, there was a great desire to create one-of-a-kind experiences across different genres that would captivate our guests, and most importantly, recognize the generous support received by the trade to make this evening possible.

transcosmos carries out a tree-planting project in Yaese-cho, Okinawa prefecture


transcosmos received the following comment from Yasuhiro Arakaki, the mayor of Yaese-cho at the signing ceremony on October 5, 2023.

“We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to transcosmos for choosing Yaese-cho as a place for a tree-planting project under the Okinawa Prefecture CO2 Absorption Certification Program. SAKURA and SAKURA festivals are popular in the northern part of Okinawa. In fact, we, Yaese-cho, are the only town in the southern area which has been holding Sakura festivals for more than 10 years, trying to catch up with, and overtake the north, which is not easy. So, we are delighted to hear that transcosmos plans to plant as many as 140 young Sakura trees in a field which FC Ryukyu – Okinawa’s professional soccer team – uses for the team’s training. We are also grateful that the company will plant azalea trees in the Park Golf Course located next to the field. Reducing CO2 is important, but not only that, we sincerely appreciate that transcosmos will make flowers bloom in the park. We hope we can build a good relationship between Yaese-cho and transcosmos from now on. We look forward to working together with you in many activities. Thank you.”

Hirofumi Inoue, Corporate Senior Officer at transcosmos inc. made the following comment.

“transcosmos launched its call center business in Okinawa in 1999. Since then, we have continued to expand our business by setting up data centers and offering associated support services as well as launching a server monitoring business. More recently, our Okinawa team of nearly 100 web designers and project coordinators has been launching multiple projects, successfully developing websites for various clients. We have been receiving words of appreciation from many clients, thanks to our Okinawa employees who all demonstrate outstanding performance. We have a strong connection with Okinawa, and people in Okinawa have been supporting our business for over a quarter of a century. As awareness continues to rise for SDGs and ESG in recent years, our clients and shareholders expect us to lead and drive environmental conservation activities. Knowing that our Okinawa employees have always been engaging in environmental activities with passion, and that Okinawa has a culture of carrying out meaningful environmental activities, we have decided to conduct a tree-planting project here in Okinawa. 160 trees are not enough. Still, we are committed to protect the global environment and deliver results taking years with your support.”

With a goal to expand its center network to include local areas, transcosmos opened MCM Center Okinawa, its first operations base in Okinawa prefecture in June 1999. The company chose Okinawa for its great hospitality and a pool of young talent. Since then, transcosmos has been increasing its presence in the prefecture, opening as many as 9 centers including its own building MCM Center Naha located in Omoromachi, Naha city which opened in March 2006. Today, transcosmos offers a diverse range of services including contact centers, digital marketing, and business process outsourcing (BPO). transcosmos plans to invite approximately 400 employees to the tree-planting project scheduled on Saturday, December 9, 2023.
