News ReleaseMorey Creative Studios Rebrands as Hypha Development, Unveils Expanded HubSpot Services
Hypha Development
In response to evolving industry trends and societal shifts, Morey Creative Studios, a leading HubSpot Partner Agency, is thrilled to announce its strategic rebranding to Hypha Development. Today’s transformation includes the addition of three innovative service offerings aimed at reshaping the company’s trajectory for the coming decade and beyond. “Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen three distinct trends begin to reshape the landscape around us: the increasing importance of alignment across a company’s tech stack, greater awareness around non-financial metrics as a measure of corporate success, and the rise and improved utility of artificial intelligence (AI),” said Jed Morey, Founder and CEO of Morey Creative Studios, now known as Hypha Development. “As a company guided by its ‘Grow For Good™’ motto, the changes we are announcing today—including three key new offerings—reflect our view that these trends are going to reshape the business world as we know it over the next decade and beyond,” he added. “They also position us to play a fundamental role in helping our clients to survive and thrive in this emerging environment.” Integrations & Implementations Stemming from its close partnership with HubSpot, Hypha Development is capitalizing on the platform‘s move toward the enterprise sector, creating the opportunity for the agency to increase its responsibility, handling everything from client services to implementations and integrations. Having developed an in-house integrations and implementation service, Hypha is now able to manage most HubSpot-related projects independently. “For the past couple of years, we’ve seen more and more companies struggle to extract maximum value from their tech stacks,” explained Jon Sasala, President of Hypha Development. “With an ever-expanding suite of services available both across the HubSpot ecosystem and beyond, we’re delighted to be able to offer the ability to seamlessly connect existing disparate systems, alongside the expertise to offer recommendations on current and future setups for our clients.” Social Impact Reporting Hypha Development recognizes the rising demand for ESG metrics, impact investing, and conscious capitalism, both from businesses and consumers. With deep-rooted expertise in content and narrative crafting, Hypha is launching a social impact reporting service to help clients tell their impact stories, a strategy it sees as the next evolution in content marketing. To support that effort, this week the company released its inaugural social impact report, which examines ways in which it is trying to make a difference in the world, better support its team members, and help other mission-driven organizations succeed. AI & The Future of Marketing The emergence of generative AI tools has reshaped user interaction with technology. Hypha is leaning into this trend by developing a product offering centered around AI for a seamless website experience. Hypha’s vision is to harness closed-loop AI systems that can answer user questions based on specialized, client-specific information produced by its in-house content experts. “We’re building toward a world where consumers expect to interact as fluidly with a website as they would with a customer service or sales rep,” continued Sasala. “While the shifts in human interaction with technology will redefine much of our industry, the need to feed those AI models with informative, expert content represents a massive opportunity for us to leverage our established content marketing expertise in an entirely new way.” Rebranding Announcement Rebranding as Hypha Development represents a natural transition for the organization, which previously changed its name to Morey Creative Studios in 2018. The new corporate identity, combined with its mission to effectuate positive change, will enable the company to help clients succeed in an ever-evolving digital landscape and strategically embrace new technologies. This includes a refreshed brand name, site, and messaging—all unveiled today. The Hypha Development team is looking forward to entering this exciting new chapter, continuing to push boundaries and exceed client expectations. Hypha Development is a purpose-driven, New York-based HubSpot Partner Agency specializing in engineering custom solutions to help B2B organizations big and small generate more leads, increase revenue, and achieve sustainable growth.

News ReleaseDon’t Get Scammed: Tips for Avoiding Fraud After a Natural Disaster
YourUpdateTV
Click to view video accompanying this release: https://youtu.be/YCGvYBaBZes With hurricane and wildfire seasons on the horizon in many parts of the country, damage and loss to homes from these natural disasters can be unavoidable. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) is warning those living in areas that could suffer from a natural catastrophe to not only be prepared for the disaster, but to be on guard for fraudulent contractors and vendors who take advantage of victims in the aftermath. Oftentimes, dishonest contractors target neighborhoods affected by disasters and make unsolicited stops at residential properties. They will take homeowners’ money, often overcharge them, and do shoddy or no work at all, promising that the insurance company will pay for it all. Insurance fraud related to natural disasters costs billions of dollars every year, which results in higher premiums for policyholders. In some cases, individual homeowners are on the hook for up to tens of thousands of dollars they may not be able to recover. On Tuesday, May 23rd, NICB President & CEO David J. Glawe conducted a nationwide media tour with TV stations across the country to discuss how to avoid home repair fraud after a natural disaster and many other consumer-friendly topics, as part of the organization’s third annual Contractor Fraud Awareness Week. During the media tour interviews, Glawe discussed: The steps homeowners can and should take prior to a natural disaster and how preparation can help reduce chances of becoming a victim of fraud; The kind of fraud that takes place following disasters while victims are trying to put their homes and lives back together; The best practices for disaster victims when hiring contractors or vendors and tips for avoiding dishonest contractors; The most common methods fraudulent contractors try to scam disaster victims; and The resources available to help homeowners and other disaster victims dishonest contractors or report fraud when they encounter it.

News ReleaseCalling All Adventure Seekers: Looking for a heart-pumping adventure in the great outdoors?
YourUpdateTV
From mountain biking to rock climbing to white-water rafting, it might surprise you to learn that Arkansas offers something for every level of adventure seeker. Recently, Travis Napper from Arkansas Tourism and Suzanne Grobmyer from Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism conducted a satellite media tour to talk about the hidden gems of Arkansas. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/Dsd_giujvvk Outside Magazine recently named Arkansas’ Monument Trails as the best mountain biking destination in the country. Arkansas is a state of visionaries when it comes to outdoor recreation. The State has been blessed with beautiful mountain ranges – from the Ozark Mountains in the north to Pinnacle Mountain in central Arkansas. The Monument Trails are a series of shared-use trails located in various Arkansas state parks. Through a partnership with the Walton Family Foundation, professional trail builders designed and developed the trails with designs that are innovative and sustainable, and that help highlight Arkansas’ beauty. There are trails for beginners and trails for those who are experienced. Arkansas has a collection of world-class, mountain biking routes within four Arkansas State Parks — Mount Nebo State Park, Hobbs State Park, Pinnacle Mountain State Park, and Devil’s Den State Park. The shared-use trails, which were professionally crafted by the world’s best trail builders, showcase Arkansas’s natural beauty and are woven into the beautiful landscape. If you would rather find your adventure on the water, there is plenty of adrenaline-pumping white water rafting in Arkansas. Try Cossatot River State Park and the Class IV rapids of Cossatot Falls. If a leisurely float down the river is more your speed, then you can do that at Cossatot, too. There are few activities more serene and calming than a hike along the 300 miles of trails in Arkansas State Parks. There is no better way to see The Natural State. Petit Jean Mountain State Park offers trails that are rather easy and others that are strenuous. Most everyone can navigate the Cedar Falls Trail, and it is definitely worth the effort because the trail’s end is the stunning 95-foot Cedar Falls Waterfall, which begins behind the breezeway at the park’s historic Mather Lodge. Arkansas is also home to two world-class fine arts museums – Crystal Bridges and Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. Another reason Arkansas is called The Natural State is the abundance of outstanding lakes and rivers. Arkansas, for instance, is known as one of the premier locations for trout fishing. Record trout are caught at the Little Red River and the White River. The State also has some of the world’s best bass fishing locations. The Buffalo National River is an ideal place for a quiet float. Ready to ride? Arkansas.com is a one-stop resource for all things Arkansas. Travis Napper Bio Travis Napper is the Director of Tourism within the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage, and Tourism. He is responsible for leading the sales and marketing efforts of the state and oversees the state’s welcome centers. Napper serves on the Board of Mississippi River Country USA(MRC) and Travel South USA. Prior to joining the Arkansas Department of Tourism in 2020, he served as the executive of the Ruston, Louisiana Convention and Visitors Bureau. Napper attended Louisiana Tech University, earning his bachelor’s degree in marketing in 2006 and received his CDME (Certified Destination Management Executive) designation in 2016.

News ReleaseTHE ASSOCIATION OF PICKLEBALL PLAYERS PARTNERS WITH KITTCH TO CREATE THE BEST CULINARY EXPERIENCE IN SPORTS
APP
The Association of Pickleball Players (APP) is excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Kittch, the leading culinary platform, combining the worlds of sport and gastronomy like never before. The collaboration aims to ensure that pickleball, the only sport with a "kitchen," offers the finest food experience in the sports world. The APP / Kittch partnership was launched on Memorial Day, 2023, live on Good Morning America, ABC’s iconic morning show. On the show, Kittch Founder and chef Elana Karp and fellow chef Chad Rosenthal were joined by APP pro players Parris Todd, Alix Truong, and Hunter and Yates Johnson live on air to try examples of the range of the food offerings Kittch will serve at the APP events, and help GMA host Michael Strahan enjoy playing pickleball for the first time. The key aspects of this innovative partnership will be the rebranding of the APP’s kitchen area – the seven-foot, non-volley zone in front of the net – to become "The Kittch'n" and the creation of the Kittch’n Court, a unique food festival atmosphere at key tournaments that showcases the best local and national culinary talent. This dynamic new space will be backed by influential culinary sponsors and brings together food enthusiasts, professional chefs, and athletes in a unique and engaging environment. “We are thrilled to join forces with Kittch to bring together two such complementary and rapidly growing worlds - sport and gastronomy," said Tom Webb, Chief Marketing Officer of the APP. "The Kittch'n will elevate the culinary experience at APP events, providing fans with unforgettable memories and an enhanced appreciation for the sport." Brian Bedol, CEO of Kittch, added, "Many of the world’s greatest sports events are synonymous with iconic food and drink - from the Kentucky Derby and the Mint Julep, to strawberries and cream at Wimbledon - and now Kittch and the APP are bringing this to pickleball. Our partnership with the APP is a game-changer for our platform. We're excited to create a unique, food-centric experience for pickleball players and fans, while showcasing the best local and national culinary talent at APP events." The APP recently unveiled its latest round of pickleball participation research which shows that nearly 50 million Americans 18+ have played the sport in the last 12 months, a 35% increase since August 2022, with an average age of 35. That research also shows that pickleball players are very conscious of their food and drink choices, with 72% preferring organic foods, 62% more likely to eat out than at home, and 69% wanting to try new restaurants and bars, further reinforcing the value of the partnership between Kittch and the APP. The Kittch activation will be unveiled at APP Tour events later this year. For more information about the partnership and the upcoming APP tour schedule, visit TheAPP.Global.

News ReleaseBreaking News: WriteMyEssays And WriteMyPapers Merge. Learn More Here!
Halvorson Media Group
Recently, WriteMyEssays And WriteMyPapers signed a merger agreement. Find out what to expect from the changes, whether they will affect customers, and what new features are planned to be introduced. New York, May 28, 2021 — A few days ago, an academic writing company WriteMyEssays announced the acquisition of WriteMyPapers. This decision has been discussed for several months, and finally, there was official confirmation of the merger. Due to the inability to compete with other academic services, the WriteMyPapers brand decided to leave the market. In the past few months, the site has seen a surge in orders, and the staff has been unable to keep up with the influx. The departure of the company would have suffered great losses and the loss of valuable personnel. Thus, the decision to merge was the only correct one in this situation. The management bodies have already checked and approved the terms and conditions of the upcoming merger. What to Expect from The Merger? A merger is a complex business solution that takes time to set up internal processes. Of course, the company's management is going to consolidate high-quality academic writing in the industry and enter the international market. However, no one excludes the occurrence of difficulties, but first things first. At the moment, key stakeholders of both companies discussed several business benefits which can be expected in the near term. They are obvious, but are of great benefit to the company: Increasing the staff of the company. The staff of WriteMyPapers was more than 300 people. All writers pass under the control of the new owner. Thus, it means that the service will be able to process more orders and get more urgent assignments. Increasing the audience. Those customers who previously applied to WriteMyPapers are likely to start ordering essays and other assignments from a new company. Many students have been working with the same authors for several years, and they will be able to continue doing this under a new brand. Increasing monthly turnover. The more orders, the more income. This is a simple yet complex business rule. If the quality of the work performed remains at the same high level or becomes higher, the company will be able to increase income by 2-3 times. Moreover, this is a very significant indicator in the college writing industry. In the long term, the company expects the following positive changes: Entering the international market. In connection with scaling, it is planned to introduce new working languages. The managing department has ideas for covering European countries, China, and India. This will expand the audience by 5-6 times in the long run. Building a multi-level support system. Due to the increase in the audience, support representatives will need to be divided into several categories depending on the purpose: support for resolving payment issues, support for placing orders, support for submitting changes to orders, etc. Development of services in narrow areas. In a rapidly evolving environment, it is necessary to follow education trends. That is a real challenge to find specialists in AI engineering or bioinformatics with academic writing or teaching skills. However, this must be taken into account in order to be at the top of the best services. What Do The Experts Say? “The decision to merge was nothing short of a bold one for us. We expect to see results in two months. However, despite the encouraging results in the future, we understand that at first, the team may experience difficulties. Talks about a merger started early this year and we've more or less solidified the base to weather this challenging but promising time.” Harry Evans, WriteMyEssays Vice President “Our department will be the most heavily loaded, especially at the very start. We have developed an order distribution system that should help us not only cope with the number of incoming orders but also understand our strengths and weaknesses to improve the process. The scaling steps will be introduced smoothly, and we know we can adjust to new circumstances.” Emma Walker, Order Distribution Manager “We are pleased with the new changes and are ready to scale and introduce new services. Thanks to long-term planning and quick reaction to possible strategic changes, our company is moving into a higher orbit. We can call ourselves a company providing educational assistance services.” Caleb Ellington, Senior Manager About WriteMyEssays WriteMyEssays is an academic writing company that has been on the market for over 15 years. The company operates in the field of educational services, namely in writing papers of various formats for high school, college, and university students. The emphasis on "academic" demonstrates high standards of performance. At the moment, the company provides assistance in the following areas: academic writing, proofreading & editing, and problem-solving. These three services fully cover the needs of a broad student audience. The team assists with handling assignments of different levels: High School, Undergraduate, Bachelor, Master, and Professional. The company works in various fields: Mathematics, Literature, Chemistry, Architecture, Pharmacology, Law, and more than 30 other areas of study. The support service has every opportunity to select a performer with the appropriate education and academic writing skills. The list of services includes not only writing essays, but also making presentations, creating graphs and tables, writing speeches, typing, rewriting, performing mathematical calculations, helping with writing dissertations, conducting chemical, historical, mathematical, and literary analyzes, and much more. WriteMyEssays is often the choice of students due to the loyal pricing policy. Thanks to successful management and logistics, prices for services are kept below average. It allows students with a limited budget to place orders on the site. The company also often provides discounts and loyalty programs. With over 7,000 finished assignments, WriteMyEssays is one of the leaders in the professional student assistance industry. Most likely, new changes will lead this service to new achievements and the introduction of new services that meet the passage of time. On a Final Note The goal of the WriteMyEssays company is to remain competitive, gradually expanding the list of services, introducing new payment methods, and taking other equally important steps to be on top. The field of academic education is entering challenging times. It may not yet be obvious, but companies like WriteMyEssays will take on an inflated amount of workload to save education as a basic social sphere from a great collapse Contact Details Halvorson Media Group Edward +1 877-422-8205 edward@halvorsonmediagroup.com Company Website https://halvorsonmediagroup.com/
