Austin-Based Full Stack In-House Marketing Agency Dremana Productions Celebrates 25 Years With New Lineup

Leave a comment


With a portfolio that includes working with platinum-level recording artists to launching best-selling authors, one would assume Dremana Productions’ “secret recipe” is in line with unleashing the sensational. Although capable of spellbinding marketing campaigns, their current roster consists mostly of companies that operate within the industrial B2B sector. In addition, Dremana Productions donates a large volume of services to non-profit organizations and charitable causes.

Co-founder and CEO Grace Sharington says, “I believe success isn’t about intensity, but consistency. Being intentional with the little things – the long game. And most important? Listen.” When asked about the new roles within the company, Grace is quick to point out they’re a small operation that packs a big punch. “Maria and Cara know exactly how to intuitively change channels. Switching focus from video editing for our annual local non-profit fundraiser to analytics reporting for one of our metals processors who generate billions in yearly revenue… that takes humility and intelligence… understanding all things are equal while being 100% unique. Our new President and VP of Marketing understand our legacy.”

In addition to it’s expert staff, Dremana Productions provides a supportive training ground for those with no formal schooling or experience in a wide scope of services including web development, video production, social media, SEO marketing, and more. Ultimately, the company has their eye on launching their own non-profit organization dedicated to offering media and marketing training to individuals transitioning from challenging life circumstances.

Dremana Productions is a female, minority-owned company formed by musicians Grace Sharington and Andre Klizentis in 1997, who were also the founders of electronic-rock band “Dremana” and Chicago recording studio “Dremana Productions.” Today the company is a full stack in-house marketing agency based in Austin, Texas.

HashCash CEO Raj Chowdhury is Optimistic About the Potential of Cryptocurrency to Create a World Without Boundaries

Leave a comment


CEO of HashCash Consultants and Bitcoin Maximalist, Raj Chowdhury asserts, “In the ongoing battle between humanity and technology, it is often the latter that emerges victorious. A perfect example is the advent of cryptocurrency, which has the capacity to usher in a world free of geographic and financial limitations.”

The adoption of cryptocurrencies as legal tender worldwide could streamline cross-border transactions, travel, and shopping. Nevertheless, it may make a significant percentage of financial service providers redundant. Conversely, fiat currencies give countries the ability to manage their economy by adjusting interest rates according to their needs. A universal cryptocurrency, however, would eliminate this leverage, leaving countries with minimal scope to enhance their economy or increase the value of their fiat currencies. Nonetheless, it could also potentially bring an end to ongoing conflicts between nations and promote global equality.

“As we progress towards a more digitally-driven future, the concept of a global currency becomes increasingly viable, and I firmly assert that cryptocurrencies will serve as a crucial tool in realizing this objective,” concluded Chowdhury.
The US-based blockchain development company HashCash Consultants has developed several products and offered services to over 26 countries. Products such as crypto payment processors, and white-label crypto exchange platforms are trending among retailers in the US and other countries. HashCash was recently listed as the top blockchain development company by a global research firm.

In summary, although the extensive use of digital currencies could pose some advantages and drawbacks, it has the extraordinary capacity to establish a world free of limits. This world would eradicate the obstacles of financial transactions and encourage equality worldwide.

About Raj Chowdhury:

Raj Chowdhury is the Managing Director of HashCash Consultants and Paybito. Raj pioneered the first interbank Trade Finance and Remittance implementation of Blockchain Technology between two of the largest global banks. Raj is an eminent voice in the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency space and actively engages with policymakers in this area. He is a contributor to the Economic Times, Business World, and CNNMoney and advises industry leaders in the adoption of Blockchain. He is a member of Asha Silicon Valley, a nonprofit committed to education for children in emerging countries. Author of the book ‘The Dark Secret of the Silicon Valley’, Raj is an investor in blockchain and cryptocurrency companies and an active member of the philanthropic community.
