Pooligans Honored With 2025 Global Recognition Award For Leadership And Transparency In Utah’s Pool-Building Industry
Pooligans has been honored with a 2025 Global Recognition Award , marking a significant milestone for a Utah company founded on a simple mission: to make pool building honest, predictable, and stress-free for families. Photo Courtesy of Pooligans Instead of relying on vague promises or confusing estimates, Pooligans built its reputation by showing homeowners exactly what to expect. Clear timelines, steady communication, and complete transparency have become the company’s trademark, transforming an industry where too many families have been burned or left guessing. This recognition celebrates how Pooligans has created a completely different way of doing business—one centered on clarity, consistency, and trust. Built on Transparency, Delivered With Heart Homeowners gravitate toward Pooligans because nothing about the process feels hidden. Clients receive regular updates, documented milestones, and open conversations about costs, site conditions, and expectations. Every project is handled with the belief that families deserve clarity, not surprises. This approach has helped homeowners feel confident in moving forward with pool projects—often for the very first time. Leadership With Utah Roots At the center of Pooligans’ growth is Taylor Ford, the company’s founder, who is known for being hands-on, deeply involved, and personally committed to every project that carries the Pooligans name. Ford spends time on job sites, walks homeowners through their plans, and ensures that the team delivers the same level of reliability he built the company on. “Our goal has always been simple,” Ford said. “We want families to feel safe, informed, and excited—not stressed—when they choose to build a pool. Transparency isn’t a marketing line for us. It’s how we treat people.” Serving Families, Supporting Communities Pooligans’ impact reaches far beyond pool installation. In 2025, Pooligans made donations to several Utah families in need, including women and children escaping abusive relationships, ensuring they had immediate support during a vulnerable transition. Homeowners often say that working with Pooligans feels like partnering with genuinely good people—not just hiring a contractor. That reputation, built through consistency and compassion, is a major reason the company is receiving national recognition.

BKREA Releases 41-Year Knakal Land Index Analyzing 2,444 Manhattan Development Site Transactions
BK Real Estate Advisors (BKREA) has announced the release of the Knakal Land Index, a proprietary 41-year study analyzing Manhattan land sales dating back to 1984. The index examines 2,444 development site transactions across prime Manhattan neighborhoods, making it one of the most comprehensive datasets ever assembled on New York City land values. Get the news here: https://uscommerciallending.com/bkrea-knakal-land-index-manhattan/ The Knakal Land Index segments sales into five property categories: residential rental, residential condominium, office, hotel, and specialty uses including education and healthcare. By separating transactions by asset class, the index provides a clearer view of how pricing behaves across different property types, eliminating distortions caused by blended averages. “BKREA operates in the information and relationship business,” said Bob Knakal, Chairman and CEO of BKREA. “When people have better information, they make better decisions. This index gives the market a factual baseline that has never existed before at this scale.” The study focuses on Manhattan’s most competitive redevelopment corridor, defined as south of 96th Street on the East Side and south of 110th Street on the West Side. This geography represents the highest-density development zone in the city, where land values reflect entitlement complexity, zoning strategy, and long-term planning decisions. It is also the area where Manhattan’s skyline continues to evolve most dramatically. Using proprietary AI-driven models, BKREA compares historical land value trends against a wide range of macroeconomic indicators. This analysis identifies which variables have historically influenced pricing direction and the magnitude of market shifts across multiple real estate cycles. The result is a data-backed framework designed to help investors, developers, and lenders better understand risk, timing, and opportunity in New York City development markets. The Knakal Land Index spans four decades of market activity, capturing periods of expansion, recession, and structural change. By applying artificial intelligence to one of the largest land datasets in the country, BKREA provides forward-looking insights grounded in historical performance.

Cryomedics Launches Cryo-1, a Science-Backed Palm Cooling and Warming Device for Rapid Temperature Regulation
Cryomedics Brings Cutting-Edge Thermoregulation Technology to Everyday Life with Cryo-1 Cryomedics, a science-driven consumer health and performance company, announces the launch of its flagship product, Cryo-1, a handheld palm cooling and warming device designed to boost performance in athletes and help perimenopausal women manage hot flashes by rapidly regulating core body temperature. This breakthrough innovation is based on more than 20 years of research at Stanford University, which discovered the potential of specialized blood vessels in the palms known as arteriovenous anastomoses (AVAs) that can rapidly dissipate or restore heat when properly stimulated. Cryo-1 harnesses this natural thermoregulation mechanism to provide an easy-to-use, non-invasive solution for temperature control. Cryo-1 is also used by outdoor workers, golfers, hikers, kids playing sports, and individuals seeking to lower heart rate by stimulating and cooling the vagus nerve. Cryo-1 offers fast, effective results without the need for bulky equipment, ice baths, or cooling vests. Luke Tipple, CEO and founder of Cryomedics, shared his excitement about the product's potential: "Cryo-1 started as a performance project. I was fascinated by the Stanford research on palm cooling boosting physical performance, and hearing Andrew Huberman discuss palm-cooling on his podcast made it clear how underutilized the mechanism really was. We built the first prototypes with athletes in mind... But everything changed when my wife started using the device and realized it helped her manage hot flashes as well. That’s when it clicked that we had a responsibility to do this right and make a science-backed solution accessible to anyone dealing with heat, hormones, or physical limits, not just elite athletes.” Palm cooling is a well-studied performance intervention. Stanford University research has shown that targeted palm cooling can slow the rise of core body temperature, increase endurance, and boost strength training work volume by up to 144% in athletic settings. What is now emerging is its relevance for perimenopause and menopause, areas that have historically received far less attention despite affecting roughly half the population over a lifetime. As public awareness grows and several states begin recognizing menopause-related symptoms in workplace accommodation discussions, Cryomedics sees an opportunity to extend proven thermoregulation science beyond sports into everyday support, including practical solutions employers can offer to better support their female workforce. Aria Johnson, co-founder of Cryomedics, highlighted the personal and broader significance behind the product’s mission: “Perimenopausal hot flashes can start in the mid 30s, and they affect millions of women, yet women are still expected to manage them quietly and push through. Cryomedics was born from a simple truth: if we can help athletes regulate core temperature in real time, we can help women navigate sudden temperature swings too. This technology changed my life, and it made something clear. Perimenopause is not a private problem. It is a real health reality, and women deserve a visible, science backed solution.” Cryo-1 has already gained traction among athletes and individuals managing heat-related symptoms in everyday life. Mark, a 72-year-old golfer from Tucson, AZ, and Drew, a recreational lifter from Fort Lauderdale, FL, both described how the device fits into their routines. “I feel like it’s given me more life to live. By the end of a round, I’m still feeling good, while my buddies are exhausted or headed for the clubhouse before the 14th hole.” - Mark, Tucson, AZ “I’ve used other palm cooling devices before, but they’re not practical to take to the gym every day. Cryo-1 fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to keep my intensity up longer between sets. I’m getting more out of my workouts without changing anything else.” - Drew, Fort Lauderdale, FL The device is also resonating with women navigating menopause. Kristen, a user in Austin, TX, shared that Cryo-1 helped her regain a sense of control over sudden hot flashes: “I honestly don’t know how I lived without it. Not worrying about when the next hot flash will hit has been life-changing for me.” Registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a Class I medical device, Cryo-1 delivers science-backed thermoregulation in a portable, handheld device without the bulk or cost of other cooling solutions. Cryo-1 is available now at a retail price of $149 and is eligible for purchase using FSA and HSA funds directly through the Cryomedics website. For more information on Cryo-1, visit the product page or view the product video . About Cryomedics Cryomedics is an FDA registered science-driven health and performance company dedicated to developing non-invasive solutions for regulating core body temperature. Founded by experienced product entrepreneurs, the company combines over two decades of peer-reviewed research with cutting-edge technology to create simple, portable, and effective products. Cryomedics is committed to improving everyday well-being by making proven thermoregulation science accessible to all. For more information, visit Cryomedics .

Anthony Joseph Amaradio Shows the Truth About Budgeting
When written budgets are mostly nonexistent, American families try to remain faithful stewards by seeking ways to make their funds stretch. Anthony Jospeh Amaradio , a financial advisor, says that a budget based on Christian beliefs is effective when managing anyone’s money, helping them lead a spiritually fulfilling life. Being the co-author of the best-selling book, “ Faithful with Much ,” he pointed out the teachings found in the Bible. These include diligence, wisdom, and self-restraint, and they help with creating a budget that God could bless. In the Old Testament’s Proverbs, Solomon warned that assets must be attentively governed, or risk being lost permanently, “Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and attend to your herds; for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to all generations.” The King’s words are still true today for those who don’t plan appropriately and spend without purpose, as is his promise for those who do, “When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered in, the lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats the price of a field; you shall have enough goats’ milk for your food, the food of your household, and the nourishment of your maidservants.” Wise and earnest allocation of funds and resources will assist in the prosperity of families and children for generations to come. budget, foWhen prioritizing a Christianod, shelter, necessities, and stewardship must take prime importance. To help realize that God owns everything and the immense responsibility of His stewards, Anthony Joseph Amaradio points to Psalm 24:1, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” A rewarding spiritual budget should account for generous donations to God and others in need before any excess spending, and if an item is not in the budget, it should not be purchased. As told in Proverbs 22:7, excessive debt leads individuals to serve others than the Lord, “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” With streamlined technology available for computers, tablets, and, smartphones, budgeting is now more accommodating than ever. Christian Personal Finance offers ten household finance spreadsheets, free for download. The programs are optimized for Excel and its free version, OpenOffice. Anthony Joseph Amaradio is the Founder and Chief Strategist of Select Portfolio Management, Inc. After developing one of the first comprehensive wealth management models in the country, Amaradio became recognized as a visionary and innovator within the financial services industry. He has since specialized his strategies to assist Christian ministries and other philanthropic groups in their planning and preservation of funds. In addition to being the host of the 20-year radio show, “Market Talk,” he also co-wrote “Faithful with Much” with his wife, Carin. The successful book chronicles the couple’s trials with God while breaking down the barriers to generous giving.

Billy Lerner and His Wife Boost Support for Children in Need Through Billy4Kids
Bill Lerner , President and CEO of iPark, proudly announced plans to expand further the philanthropic efforts of his global shoe-giving charity, Billy4Kids. Alongside unveiling a comprehensive strategy to increase funding, extend outreach into additional developing regions, and elevate national awareness of the organization, Lerner also set an ambitious goal of providing 5,000 children with safe and comfortable footwear by the end of the year. One of New York’s leading philanthropists for the past twenty years, Bill Lerner became inspired to found Billy4Kids in 2013, when he discovered an article detailing youth around the world suffering from life threatening diseases caused by parasitic infections. Upon further research, he learned that these children were most often in hard-to-reach, tropical regions and that the majority of their ailments could be avoided if they were given access to reliable footwear. Later that year, Lerner co-founded Billy4Kids with the mission “to provide the basic needs of children all over the world in the form of shoes to foster a safer environment for them to live and play.” Relying on donations from people around the country, each week the foundation ships shoes to remote, impoverished townships throughout Ghana, Haiti, and Brazil. In the near future, Lerner plans to further expand the number of countries his charity is able to reach. To date, Billy4Kids has supplied over 3,000 children with a pair of adequate, reliable shoes, preventing thousands of possible parasitic infections. The foundation also pioneers support projects in the countries it serves, including Basketball to Uplift the Youth of Haiti. Emphasizing the importance of assisting the underprivileged who are unable to do so themselves, Lerner stressed that every contribution, no matter the size, form, or amount, plays an essential role in achieving the charity’s mission of building a safer world for these children. Anyone who wishes to donate can do so at collection areas located in schools, apartment buildings, supermarkets, and every iPark parking facility, as well as through the official Billy4Kids website , where there are further options to become involved by sponsoring a child, school, or becoming a volunteer. Bill Lerner is a business owner and philanthropist best known for his achievements as the President of iPark, New York’s largest privately owned parking garage operator. Founded more than 60 years ago by his father as a single lot known as Imperial Parking Systems, Lerner took over as CEO in 1997 and aggressively expanded the business through the acquisition of highly sought-after properties throughout Manhattan. Now with nearly 150 user-friendly facilities and partnerships with Tesla Motors and CarCharging, iPark is leading the parking industry’s technological evolution. As the co-founder of Billy4Kids, Lerner’s efforts have earned him the prestigious Humanitarian Award at the annual Edeyo Gives Hope Gala and recognition from St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children for three consecutive years.

Isabella Announces Pre-Order of Groundbreaking Novel “The Path the Turtle Takes”
Sapphire Books Publishing and award-winning author Isabella have officially announced the pre-order launch of Isabella’s latest novel, The Path the Turtle Takes , a bold and emotionally grounded story of identity, class, migration, and love. The novel follows two young women from drastically different backgrounds whose lives intersect under pressure, where survival, cultural tension, and emotional awakening meet. With early critical acclaim and a narrative grounded in today’s most pressing cultural issues, the announcement positions the book as one of the most significant fiction releases of the year. Isabella, already known for her ability to humanize layered social experiences through fiction, delivers a timely and deeply affecting story that avoids sensationalism while embracing truth. The announcement of this pre-order marks a literary moment with widespread cultural relevance, drawing attention to the lived realities behind immigration policy, class disparity, and queer love. A Literary Exploration of Survival, Love, and Generational Burden At the center of the novel is Lillianna Chavez, a brilliant pre-med student forced to abandon her education in Mexico after a family crisis leads her to the United States. But what begins as a hopeful mission to locate her father transforms into something more severe: a realization that she has been sent to take his place in the labor economy he left behind. Working in California’s Central Valley under constant threat of deportation, Lillianna struggles through the hidden machinery of survival labor while her dreams of becoming a doctor slip further away. It is in this complex space that she meets Ava Markley, a woman from a privileged background working in a college office, struggling to find purpose outside the expectations carved out by her family. The announcement of the novel’s release highlights the dual perspective Isabella offers through Lillianna and Ava, two women walking vastly different paths that suddenly converge. Their story resists romantic tropes and instead builds through mutual understanding and shared resistance to the forces that seek to define them. As one early reviewer noted, the novel is “a tender and emotionally resonant LGBTQ romance that explores love, identity, and one young woman’s journey across cultural and socioeconomic divides.” A Story That Speaks to the Current Social Climate The pre-order announcement comes as immigration, class mobility, and LGBTQ visibility remain at the forefront of national conversations. However, The Path the Turtle Takes does not frame these issues through statistics or ideology. Instead, Isabella allows the personal stories of her characters to illuminate broader realities. By setting the novel within a context that includes undocumented labor, border crossings, inherited family duty, and queer identity, Isabella paints a complex picture of what it means to survive without safety, and what it takes to love under threat. Unlike traditional narratives that focus on rescuing or overcoming, this novel centers on resilience, interdependence, and deliberate emotional growth. Readers and critics alike are noting the book’s refusal to reduce its characters to symbols. The individuals in The Path the Turtle Takes are not stand-ins for political commentary, they are fully human, flawed, hopeful, and unforgettable. Why the Turtle Matters: A Symbol of Slow Survival The title of the novel is deliberate. The turtle becomes both metaphor and emotional framework for the story, reminding readers that survival is not always swift, it is steady, deliberate, and often hidden beneath the surface. Each step Lillianna takes is weighted with risk, intention, and the possibility of loss. This symbolism echoes throughout the book’s pacing and structure, designed to mirror the careful path that many immigrants, queer individuals, and working-class characters must walk. The pre-order announcement emphasizes this thematic direction, aligning the turtle’s journey with the emotional tone of the book. By the final chapter, a message from Lillianna’s past arrives with the gravity of everything she’s endured, reinforcing that slow is not weak, it is how you stay alive. Early Praise Highlights Emotional Impact and Social Relevance Although still in the pre-order stage, The Path the Turtle Takes has already received strong endorsements from early readers and critics. The reviews speak to its depth, authenticity, and ability to evoke both personal reflection and cultural awareness. Romuald Dzemo describes the book as “balanced, skillful, and utterly satisfying.” Divine Zape calls it “a quietly powerful read for anyone who has ever felt caught between worlds.” K.C. Finn notes that it is “a story about family, identity, and love blossoming on uncertain ground.” These early insights underscore what Isabella’s readership has come to expect: writing that doesn’t flinch from complexity and characters that feel fully lived-in. The announcement reaffirms Isabella’s role as a leading voice in socially reflective fiction, crafting narratives that resonate long after the last page. Why the Novel Matters in Today’s Market This pre-order launch is not just a literary event, it is a cultural statement. In a publishing landscape often dominated by escapism, The Path the Turtle Takes invites readers to face the realities behind immigration headlines, to explore love born under pressure, and to question the societal structures that shape identity and belonging. The novel refuses to offer easy answers. It asks readers to walk slowly through discomfort, much like its characters, and consider what sacrifice, survival, and love truly mean in a world divided by borders, literal and social. Isabella’s announcement signals more than a new release. It invites participation in a conversation that is increasingly urgent, especially for readers seeking stories that reflect both emotional authenticity and cultural truth. About Isabella Isabella is an award-winning, bestselling author known for emotionally powerful fiction that blends cultural nuance, intimate character studies, and socially resonant themes. Her work explores the hidden dynamics of class, identity, and love with honesty and grace. With The Path the Turtle Takes , Isabella continues to redefine contemporary fiction, crafting stories that challenge, illuminate, and ultimately transform the reader’s understanding of the world around them.

Delete Before Share: Vatsal Soin Secures Human Privacy AI-to-Quantum, Addresses Trillions in Global Waste
As AI scales toward AGI and quantum computing threatens today’s encryption standards, a new privacy-first architecture is being proposed to help the world calculate and cut trillions in waste without exposing a single line of personal data. Indian inventor Vatsal Soin , a global patent portfolio holder in AI and quantum-resilient systems, has introduced the 0→1 Doctrine, a framework that converts human needs into standardized numerical bands, while retaining the underlying data at its source. Photo Courtesy of Vatsal Soin A New Doctrine for the AI–Quantum Era Filed under U.S. patent application 19/489,595 on December 3, 2025, the 0→1 Doctrine advances a simple but radical proposition: delete details before sharing, instead of encrypting after collection. It is designed as a coordination architecture for an age of AGI, superintelligence, and quantum machines, where traditional “average-based” planning leads to massive global inefficiencies. Rather than transmitting raw personal or system data, the framework converts parameters into non-invertible 0→1 bands and then deletes the underlying source data. Even with infinite computing, there is nothing left to reconstruct, shifting the conversation from data protection to the mathematical non-existence of data beyond its origin. Privacy Without Exposure Today’s AI tools, from chatbots to federated learning, still need to “see” user data to operate, creating inherent privacy risk. The 0→1 Doctrine instead normalizes raw inputs locally using large-number methods, probability theory, calibration models, copula dependencies, and interval mathematics, before purging them from the system. Only abstract alignment bands travel across networks, allowing systems to coordinate, optimize, and decide, all without identity, measurements, or records ever leaving the device, hospital, enterprise, or national boundary. This enables AI-scale coordination while remaining human-privacy native by design. Human Judgment by Mathematical Necessity At its core, the doctrine encodes limits where automation must stop, and humans must decide. Certain variables—like aesthetics, cultural preferences, or ethical trade-offs—are defined as mathematically non-normalizable, forming what Soin calls the Human Oversight Pathway Necessity. Machines operate in the 0→1 space; humans evaluate the non-normalizable outcomes. Execution occurs only when both domains are complete, making human oversight a mathematical requirement rather than a policy checkbox. The collapsible framework transforms physical dimensions, pressure limits, timing requirements, and load capacities into 0→1 alignment signals through mathematical compression drawing on multiple scientific disciplines. The 0→1 interval provides mathematical coherence across billions of low-edge devices without compromising privacy or system integrity. Novel axioms, lemmas, theorems, equations, principles, doctrine, systems, and standards define limits, enable privacy, constrain automation, authorize execution—QED closing the 0→1 invention. From Individuals to Planetary Systems For nearly two centuries, the global economy has operated on averages rather than fundamental human needs, misaligning products, services, and assets, resulting in massive returns, dead inventory, shortages, and inefficiencies that have quietly accumulated into trillions of dollars in global waste worldwide. Scaling is proposed from one to any number, with illustrative examples providing a focused glimpse of alignment across Planetary & Environmental Systems, Natural Resources & Global Infrastructure, Enterprise, Commerce & Global Systems, Science, Space & High-Precision Domains, Human Systems & Public Life, Daily Use & Fit-Critical Domains, and Robotics, Automation & Machine Systems. Representative instances include critical-mineral demand 0.60–0.72 aligning with refining-capacity 0.66–0.78, pandemic-response load 0.68–0.80 matching medical-network readiness 0.72–0.88, and autonomous-vehicle fleet load 0.62–0.76 coordinating with smart-corridor control 0.70–0.90, without exposing operational details; alignment triggers execution, while misalignment initiates automated alternative searches and captures learning data. Because all domains, from physics and medicine to logistics and quantum systems, can be expressed through shared 0→1 intervals, the doctrine acts as a digital lingua franca for coordination. About Vatsal Soin Vatsal Soin, an Indian-born inventor, holds 21 patent filings with several grants, including those in the United States, Japan, and other countries. His prior work in biometric-fit modeling, AI-driven sizing systems, and design automation is publicly verifiable on LinkedIn. Positioned as a candidate global standard for privacy-preserving coordination, the 0→1 Doctrine now moves toward regulatory review, cross-sector pilots, and independent oversight—proposing an architecture where privacy is mathematically validated, waste is calculated rather than estimated, and human judgment remains non-negotiable in the AI–quantum era.

Anthony Joseph Amaradio, the Writer of “Faithful with Finances” Book, Explains How A Family Can Live on A Single Income
In 46% of two-parent households, both adults work full-time—a significant 15-point increase since 1970. Yet, according to visionary financial expert Anthony Joseph Amaradio , living on a single income is entirely achievable. “Earning two paychecks but spending only one can be incredibly freeing,” he explains. “It simplifies the process of getting one’s financial house in order.” As the founder of Select Portfolio Management, Inc. and Select Money Management, Inc., specializing in designing, implementing, and monitoring client portfolios, Amaradio notes that the motivation for living on one income varies among families. “Some prioritize eliminating debt, using the second paycheck to pay off creditors,” he says. “Others focus on catching up on retirement savings.” Additionally, he has counseled couples who donate their additional income to charity, and those seeking to realign their spending habits to live more within their means. For those who might consider leaping to live on a single income, Anthony Joseph Amaradio advises that discipline is key. He suggests that small changes in spending habits can reap tremendous savings. People may, for example, pay monthly fees for services they no longer use or that could be obtained free of charge. Because Americans spend as much money dining out as they do buying groceries, cooking meals at home instead of frequenting restaurants will slash food expenditures. Choosing different entertainment options, such as borrowing DVDs from the library rather than springing for movie tickets and popcorn, will also save money. Amaradio suggests that creativity can fuel other lifestyle adjustments and conserve cash. Virtually everyone has items stashed around the house that could be repurposed, bartered, traded, and maintained, thus eliminating the need for additional purchases. Similarly, household expenses that seem set in stone may not be. Amaradio recommends that families review every expenditure and try to negotiate lower rates. Cable television fees and credit card interest rates can be lowered, while shopping for more reasonable auto insurance rates or a health plan that aligns costs with needed services can shave money off of fixed expenses. When a family moves from dual incomes to a solo salary, Anthony Joseph Amaradio states that communication must be a priority. Tackling a budget as a team and agreeing to make sacrifices in service of a larger goal can bring couples closer together and teach children crucial lessons about the value of money and the importance of cooperation. With proper planning and dedication, Amaradio says that living on a single income is within reach for many families. “It’s simply a matter of making a series of choices that will lead to significant rewards,” he concludes. In addition to being a wealth management innovator, Tony Amaradio is a sought-after presenter who travels the U.S. speaking about advanced market strategies. He and his wife, Carin, are philanthropists and co-authors of the inspirational book, “Faithful with Much: Breaking Down the Barriers to Generous Giving.” The couple assists nonprofit organizations in capacity building and in guiding major donors toward becoming more effective benefactors.

Boris Mizhen on Why Online Brand Building Matters
As social media and digital advertising continue to shape the 21st-century marketplace, companies face increasing challenges in differentiating themselves from competitors. Entrepreneur and marketing expert Boris Mizhen explains why building a strong online brand is essential for organizations seeking credibility, visibility, and long-term recognition. According to Mizhen, marketers can implement several key strategies to ensure the success of impactful and sustainable campaigns. With competition rising, Mizhen believes companies must define their brand for online purposes. The first step is to establish a target audience that will build loyalty for the content and promotions offered. He recommends presenting a service or product that endorses the benefits of the business to people by using a consistent message across all social media platforms. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest provide an opportunity for brands to build a unique voice when conveying their ideas. In the world of native advertising and clickbait, it is essential that advertisers create a tone that remains different from competing companies or products. The collection and interpretation of big data must be considered when planning a successful marketing strategy, as this can be an important tool in catering to clients’ needs and desires. The importance of a corporation’s brand transcends every level of business and serves as a foundation for both large and small companies. Boris Mizhen believes that as marketers begin to develop a voice, it is important to appear on social platforms and incorporate their developed voice with popular trending topics. Organizations like Taco Bell and the recent Wendy’s and Burger King feud have proven to be successful examples of creating an online persona, as customers respond well to strong voices from companies that use jokes and friendly competition among each other. The exposure will depend on browsing behavior, social media interactions, geo-location, purchase patterns, and other specific analytics. A detailed and well-planned marketing strategy will establish the brand in a consumer's mind, helping build a loyal customer base and attract first-time visitors through tailored content. Boris Mizhen has built a successful reputation as an expert in Internet marketing and advertising. He has been responsible for contributing to some of the most successful online companies due to his knowledge and understanding of the ever-changing landscape of social media. Boris Mizhen is also a property developer and entrepreneur, known for his strong instinct for successful business ventures and investments in different technology industries. Mizhen is a firm philanthropist, having contributed to dozens of charities and organizations, such as the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven and Chabad of the Shoreline. Mizhen is a large contributor to gentrification in smaller neighborhoods and promotes education and support for people through study and good deeds in communities.
