Doceree launches industry-first HCP-focused global DSP for media agencies at Cannes Lions 2023

Doceree Inc

Doceree, a leading global platform building unprecedented solutions for healthcare professionals (HCPs) through programmatic messaging with proprietary data tools, today announced the launch of Doceree Enterprise, an industry-first, HCP-focussed global Demand Side Platform (DSP), delivering an integrated ecosystem to media agencies with high-impact, built for scale programmatic capabilities to serve healthcare and life sciences brands. Doceree Enterprise, powered by proprietary HCP identity-resolution technology Espyian TM, is a fully self-serve ecosystem, enabling agencies to run highly targeted global and integrated campaigns with transparent and measurable outcomes.

On top of it, the agencies can bring their audience, data partners, and measurement tools to build their own healthcare-specific marketing platform. Agencies currently counter multiple challenges while buying media directly from third party publishers or from existing DSPs, which mostly have restricted presence in the US and experience compliance issues around regulations for advertising to HCPs outside of the US. The non-HCP media impacts the return on investments (ROI) of life sciences brands that are looking to engage prescribers through effective programmatic campaigns. Doceree has been relentlessly working to identify issues facing the pharma messaging ecosystem and close the gaps through its AI-enabled category-centric technologies that can precisely target HCPs and enable marketers to activate high-performing campaigns. “We are thrilled to launch our new DSP that creates unprecedented HCP personalization and customization for media agencies. The platform offers full suite of capabilities to media agencies to activate HCP-focused campaigns with utmost ease and convenience without worrying about transparency, performance or regulatory compliances,” said Harshit Jain MD, Founder & Global CEO, Doceree. “Doceree Enterprise will introduce never-seen before advancements in the category that will revolutionize HCP messaging. We will continue building category-first solutions that our partners would immensely benefit from.” The integrated ecosystem equips agencies with the ability to forecast campaigns; build HCP-only audiences & cohorts; activate, optimize and analyse campaigns to create omnichannel experiences; and measure campaign outcomes in near real time. “The rapidly evolving digital healthcare industry create new opportunities for marketing, engaging and educating HCPs. Doceree Enterprise is exactly the solution agencies are looking for to stand out from the competition on a global level. There is no ‘one solution fits all’ and the DSP uniquely addresses the gaps, curating an agency-specific platform that aligns with each agency’s specific needs. This first-of-its-kind approach to engaging HCPs is exciting and offers plenty of opportunities for agencies to run successful and scalable HCP campaigns for their healthcare clients,” said Jeffrey D. Erb, Chief Media Officer, Fishawack Health. Features of Doceree Enterprise giving it a competitive edge: The only true personalized ad-martech solution for HCP marketing Competitive edge through custom build features and tools developed collaboratively Multi-tenant solution with the ability to run multiple campaigns across markets Robust measurement capabilities, aiming to tie marketing efforts to business and clinical outcomes quantitatively Access to top-to-bottom HCP marketing funnel, including healthcare-centric inventory spanning endemic and point-of-care platforms Access global supply partnership or integrate a supply partner of your choice Doceree Enterprise is available for media agencies across the globe.

Claravine Acquires AI-Powered Content Classification Company Netra

Claravine

Claravine, The Data Standards Company, has acquired Netra, Inc, a content classification company powered by artificial intelligence. With the addition of Netra, Claravine’s platform, The Data Standards Cloud, is able to analyze, extract and search metadata from videos and images, adding to Claravine’s core strengths of standardizing data at the source and producing high quality and actionable data that is ready for use and analysis upon creation. This latest acquisition supports Claravine’s goal of taking the drama out of marketing data by putting AI in the hands of marketing teams for data classification across text, creative, audio, and video assets - which are growing dramatically with the rise of generative AI platforms.

Our common goal of helping create a shared understanding of data is only possible by being able to control your data standards across the teams and various technology systems.

I-ON and Instruxi Revolutionize Gold Digitization and Securitization at Chainlink Spring 2023 Hackathon

I-ON Digital Corp.

I-ON Digital Corp. (OTC: IONI) was recently chosen by UK-based development partner Instruxi Limited as the focal point for its submission in this year's prestigious Chainlink Spring 2023 Hackathon, choosing I-ON 's "fractional ownership of unrefined gold claims" framework to showcase a real-world commercial example of leveraging state-of-the-art blockchain and distributed data warehousing technologies to disrupt and evolve the conventional gold and precious metals marketplace. I-ON ’s business model will allow claim holders to monetize in situ gold (in-ground or unrefined gold) by converting their fully validated gold claims into secure and efficient gold-backed securities, offering liquidity without extracting, mining, or smelting the gold. The team at I-ON pioneered this model several years back by achieving groundbreaking advances in the institutional acceptance of asset-backed digital securities by establishing a global custody interface and creating standards for independent financial and transactional reporting backed by expert legal opinion. Their efforts helped launch the then-nascent asset digitization marketplace while addressing the relative needs of investors, institutional partners, and regulators alike. To build on these accomplishments, I-ON turned to Instruxi to craft a technical approach to digitizing gold reserves by tokenizing them, utilizing state-of-the-art blockchain and Smart Contract technology, then converting them into digital securities that enable institutional investors to buy fractionalized ownership of gold claims, at the "proven reserves" level, through ERC20 tokens. "Five years ago, we set out to change the gold and precious metals marketplace by creating a regulatory-compliant digital asset ecosystem that would allow gold claim holders to monetize unrefined but proven Gold Reserves," shared I-ON CEO Carlos X. Montoya. "To build on a series of 'firsts' that we initially achieved, including meeting the requirements of larger institutions and other US and global tier-one intermediaries, we asked the team at Instruxi and their collaborative partners to help us scale and optimize our ecosystem to provide secure movement, transfer, settlement and, where applicable, hypothecation of our asset-backed digital securities. Together, what we've created is significant." This resulting gold tokenization process represents a groundbreaking innovation in the traditional gold and precious metals marketplace, enabling claim holders to unlock the value of their proven reserves while minimizing the environmental impact and cost of conventional forms of gold mining, including strip mining and other forms of extraction. I-ON 's partnership with Instruxi showcases the power and potential of integrating best-in-class emerging DeFi technologies to drive meaningful commercial change in the precious metals and commodities industry. "To enable I-ON's vision, we needed to create a secure, robust, and hyper-scalable infrastructure that could support asset digitization and tokenization so we could fractionalize the ownership of gold and other assets." explains Instruxi CTO Austin Przybysz, "Smart contracts, Chainlink 's secure communication, and Space and Time 's decentralized data warehouses allowed us to deliver the advanced auditing capabilities, scalability, and robust security that I-ON required for their institutional-grade framework." Through its development partnership with Instruxi, I-ON is pioneering the future of asset-backed securities and the trading and hypothecation of fractionalized gold ownership and other emerging digitized asset classes. Their collaborative effort lays the foundation for a more accessible, trust-driven, and compliant financial ecosystem that could play an integral role in shaping the future of decentralized finance, tokenized assets, and digital securities. All while providing a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way to monetize precious metal reserves without damaging or destroying Mother Earth.

Cyberattacks And Supply Chain Disruptions Put Focus On FiscalNote’s (NYSE: NOTE) Dragonfly Security Intelligence To Help Leading Organizations Build Resilience Through Intelligence

Benzinga

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga In today's interconnected world, businesses face various geopolitical risks that can significantly impact their operations and bottom line. The risks are plentiful and various, but some have taken a specific spotlight in light of recent trends. Cybercrime, for example, proliferated during the COVID-19 pandemic, posing extreme risks to government entities, corporations and individuals, and the trend looks to be continuing in 2023. The COVID-19 pandemic also highlighted the vulnerability of global supply chains, with lockdowns and travel restrictions causing disruptions that closed down thousands of businesses and brought thousands of others to the brink of disaster. Current geopolitical risks extend beyond these two issues. Rising tensions between the East and West initiated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have spurred murmurs of a potential third World War. Trade sanctions on Russia’s allies have placed pressure on the price of commodities, causing massive fluctuations in the price of oil and gas in Europe. Tensions have even migrated further East toward China and Taiwan which have created risks to global security. Geopolitical risks can pose some of the largest threats to governments and businesses. To mitigate these risks, private and public organizations need access to real-time intelligence and analysis that can help them anticipate and respond to potential threats. The recent acquisition of Dragonfly Eye by FiscalNote Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NOTE), a technology company specializing in AI-driven global policy and market intelligence solutions, provides a platform that can help businesses and governments achieve this goal. Dragonfly Eye: An Intelligence Solution To Geopolitical Risks Dragonfly Eye is a UK-based security and geopolitical intelligence provider offering a range of advisory services to help organizations manage and respond to security and political risks. They provide real-time mission-critical intelligence to security, crisis management and risk professionals across multinational companies, financial institutions, public sector entities and NGOs. Their flagship Security Intelligence and Analysis Service (SIAS) platform is used by nearly half of the top 30 companies in the FTSE-500 and 90% of the world’s top 11 banks. Their services are divided into three categories: Security Risk, Political Risk, and Systems and Solutions, which include management consulting for corporate security and risk intelligence. Dragonfly’s services help organizations manage geopolitical risks such as supply chain issues and foreign cyber attacks by providing early warning detection and forecasting to anticipate threats, risk rating systems around potential major disruptions, and access to critical analysts and embedded intelligence. Their intelligence-led security support and consultative political risk management services for investors in emerging markets are designed to help security decision-makers evaluate and respond to threats and risks. With the acquisition of Dragonfly, FiscalNote becomes a significantly enhanced platform to provide businesses with solutions to supply chain disruptions, cybersecurity attacks and other geopolitical risks.

$1.1 Trillion Was Invested In The Transition To Clean Energy In 2022 – This Company Reports Capitalizing On The Trend With Its First-In-Class Thematic ETFs

Benzinga

Thematic exchange-traded funds (ETFs) take advantage of long-term market trends, and the portfolios for these funds are often involved in industry-shaping innovations. At the start of 2023, thematic ETFs totaled $84.6 billion in assets under management (AUM). An example of a company leading the charge in clean energy market-focused ETFs is Sprott Asset Management, a subsidiary of Sprott Inc. (TSX: SII) and a global asset manager with differentiated and real asset portfolios. Sprott Asset Management has a first-mover advantage, with the only ETF to offer pure-play exposure to a wide variety of critical minerals and mining equities. Critical minerals are the natural materials required for the generation, transmission and storage of clean energy. As low carbon and clean energy infrastructure is adopted across the globe, the need for critical minerals, such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and graphite, is increasing rapidly. By 2040, one model predicts that demand for copper and rare earth elements will increase by 40%, while nickel and cobalt demand will increase by 70%, and lithium by almost 90%. A record-breaking $1.1 trillion was invested globally into low carbon energy transition in 2022, in part to meet the demand for critical minerals. However, it is estimated that the average needs to be about quadruple what is being spent now to meet net-zero targets. Sprott’s Pure-Play Thematic ETFs Sprott Inc. was founded in 1981 and has spent decades establishing itself as a global investment leader in precious metals and energy transition minerals. It has primarily been involved in upstream mineral companies, such as mining and development companies. Sprott Asset Management has been able to leverage its parent company’s network of industry relationships. Its Energy Transition Materials ETF (NASDAQ: SETM) is unique because it provides pure-play access to companies at the heart of the clean energy transition. Each security undergoes a process of rigorous selection so that every company in the portfolio is hand-picked from a wide range of possible assets. As part of the index construction process, the company looks at the 90,000+ companies with global primary security equities. It then applies a series of screening criteria, using competitive analysis and in-house research, to select the top companies for investment. It also conducts periodical rebalancing based on its weight criteria. Because of Sprott’s extensive background in the mining industry, the Energy Transition Materials ETF can target companies upstream in the mining and material acquisition process. These companies are more likely than downstream companies to be recipients of the increased global funding in the clean energy transition, according to the company. Sprott Asset Management offers a range of other ETFs in the critical minerals sector. These include its Lithium Miners ETF (NASDAQ: LITP), Junior Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ: COPJ), Uranium Miners ETF (NYSE Arca: URNM), and Junior Uranium Miners ETF (NASDAQ: URNJ), and its Nickel Miners ETF (NASDAQ: NIKL).
