PROSPECT, Maine & NEW YORK (PRWEB)
November 18, 2021

Cannuka Luxe, a luxury skincare line offering all-natural, organically grown Full Spectrum CBD-powered skincare routines, today announced a partnership with leading omnichannel ad technology platform MadHive to power shoppable TV campaigns to launch their new collection. The initiative with MadHive will drive both brand awareness and purchase decisions with consumers, as Cannuka Luxe launches its new skincare line exclusively at Neiman Marcus.

The campaign will take a phased approach that thoughtfully leads consumers down the conversion funnel – launching first with four unique creatives, custom-developed for shoppable TV. From the creative producers behind Beyonce, Tom Ford and La Mer, each TV commercial is equipped with a custom QR-code that will bridge the gap between TV and mobile, allowing viewers to easily learn more about products and engage in a shopping experience. [Check out the creative here ]

“CTV gives brands the best of both worlds — the precise targeting of digital with the high impact, premium experience of the TV screen,” said Adam Helfgott, CEO at MadHive, whose infrastructure-as-a-service offering powers efforts for major broadcasters, brands and agencies. “This convergence has helped TV move beyond a brand awareness platform only to become a full-funnel marketing tool, especially when you incorporate shoppable TV tools like QR codes directly into creative. This partnership can really serve as a framework for brands of all sizes launching new products.”

The 13 SKU skincare line from Cannuka Luxe, powered by a full spectrum of fortifying cannabinoids and purifying botanical terpenes, is launching in twenty-one Neiman Marcus locations and online. Cannuka Luxe was one of the first CBD skincare brands featured in the Neiman Marcus National Holiday Book, which reaches more than 700 thousand homes.

“When our team at Cannuka decided to create a premium full-spectrum CBD line, we wanted to work with a world-class full-spectrum CBD provider—a partner with an incredible story, a commitment to ethics and integrity, and the highest standard for quality. We are excited to have found Prospect Farms to create this new luxury skincare line and launch the new Cannuka Luxe line at Neiman Marcus,” said Michael Bumgarner, Founder of Cannuka.

Cannuka Luxe is powered by Prospect Farms, a centuries old farm farm in the coastal town of Prospect, Maine. Following a 2-year initiative to rehab the 250-acre manufacturing facility, Prospect Farms has become one of the leading providers of full spectrum CBD oil and naturally-derived terpene blends. Most recently, Prospect Farms has been partnering with global brands to develop all natural full spectrum CBD-based retail products that can benefit the world.

“At Prospect Farms, we believe nature has a way of making the best solutions simple. This is why we take the time to organically grow, harvest, and craft our single source full spectrum CBD and meticulously researched and designed terpene blends,” said Brad Tipper, CEO at Prospect Farms and Brand Founder at Cannuka Luxe. “We are dedicated to delivering the most luxurious products for you and your skin, made in the cleanest, greenest, most ethical way possible and could not be more excited to be partnering with Neiman Marcus and MadHive to introduce the Cannuka Luxe skincare brand.”

U.S. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael R. Gutermuth reads the SPS 73 radar on the bridge of the amphibious transport dock ship USS San Antonio (LPD 17).

“Ultra is proud to provide the multi-mission, interoperable NGSSR to the United States Navy. The Kongsberg TerraLens SDK enables us to deliver high-performance geospatial rendering we expect across the range of NGSSR capabilities.” – Martin Lewis, President of Ultra Naval Systems & Sensors

OTTAWA, Ontario (PRWEB)
November 18, 2021

Kongsberg Geospatial, a geospatial software technology company, announced today that their TerraLens geospatial software development kit (SDK), was selected by Ultra to provide the geospatial display and rendering engine for the next generation of US Navy Surface Search Radars.

Ultra Naval Systems and Sensors was awarded a $42M USD contract in July 2020 to develop and manufacture a new surface fleet radar system to replace legacy navigation radars and deliver next generation technologies. The Next Generation Surface Search Radar (NGSSR) is a multi-mission radar focused on safe navigation, surface search and periscope detection.

Navigation and situational awareness are core functions for all surface warships, but these routine tasks are becoming more difficult as the ocean becomes increasingly complex with the proliferation of inexpensive solid-state radar, which contribute to ship and radio traffic. Debris like floating transport containers, air traffic and land-based radar also contribute to crowding and confusing the radio spectrum.

The NGSSR incorporates the latest digital technology and a software-based technology designed to extend, enhance and optimize radar system performance.

Martin Lewis, President of Ultra Naval Systems & Sensors commented: “Ultra is proud to provide the multi-mission, interoperable NGSSR to the United States Navy. The Kongsberg TerraLens SDK enables us to deliver high-performance geospatial rendering we expect across the range of NGSSR capabilities.”

Kongsberg’s TerraLens SDK provides a highly performant next-gen geospatial and 3D display capability for the NGSSR operator consoles.

“We’re very proud of the capabilities of our TerraLens SDK”, said Ranald McGillis, president of Kongsberg Geospatial. “TerraLens powers the displays for a wide range of mission-critical applications supporting various other US Navy programs besides NGSSR.”

The new NGSSR radar is expected to ultimately replace all variants of the Navy’s current AN/SPS-67, and AN/SPS-73 radar systems.

Xerox stood out for its impressive portfolio of apps, software, and services that equip customers to meet the challenges presented when being in the office is not a given.

FAIRFIELD, N.J. (PRWEB)
November 17, 2021

Keypoint Intelligence, the world’s leading independent provider of testing services and analytical information to the document imaging industry, today announced that Xerox Corporation has won the coveted Buyers Lab (BLI) 2022 Document Imaging Software Line of the Year Award. Given once a year, this prestigious accolade recognizes the vendor that offers the most complete portfolio across the range of document imaging software solution categories that Keypoint Intelligence covers on its bliQ subscription service.

“The pandemic crisis and continuing hybrid work environments have meant that the majority of knowledge workers are away from their offices at least some of the time, but they still need access to critical documents and collaborative workflows to keep the organization running,” said Jamie Bsales, Director of Smart Workplace & Security Analysis at Keypoint Intelligence. “Our study this year paid particular attention to the vendors that best enabled this transition. In this regard, Xerox stood out for its impressive portfolio of apps, software, and services that equip customers to meet the challenges presented when being in the office is not a given.”

To determine the award recipient, Keypoint Intelligence’s experienced analysts consider the imaging software each leading OEM officially sells and supports via its direct and independent sales channels. The vendor’s own products and those from partner ISVs are accounted for in the categories Keypoint Intelligence covers in bliQ Solutions Center: MFP Apps & Connectors, Capture & Workflow, Document Management/ECM, Fleet Management & MPS Tools, Output Management, and others. Another consideration is the variety of offerings in each of those categories to suit the needs of different size organizations, from small businesses to global enterprises.

In the study, Xerox improved upon its past award-winning showings thanks to introductions and acquisitions in key areas. The company and its developer partners have continued the expansion of an unrivaled portfolio of MFP apps, especially those targeted at key vertical markets such as Healthcare, Education, and Retail. Moreover, the handy Xerox Workflow Central solution extends access to select apps to PCs and mobile devices. The wide-ranging XMPie suite delivers a host of content creation and management tools for effective multichannel marketing, while the Xerox DocuShare family of products delivers class-leading, document-centric content management and collaboration abilities. Also of note is the impressive CareAR remote service platform that leverages XR (extended reality) technology to help field-service personnel as well as customers keep equipment operational. And this is all in addition to solutions from the leading document imaging software developers such as ABBYY, Kofax, Pharos, and a host of others.
