Cloud Learning Market Heats Up With This New Development

Amesite Inc.

Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST) is an artificial intelligence (AI) software company delivering an online learning platform and custom learning content creation for businesses, universities, nonprofits and government agencies. Amesite solutions include end-to-end infrastructure, reportedly allowing organizations to seamlessly create branded learning content and online courses. https://clients.tradigitalir.com/amst/ Amesite has just announced the launch of its upgraded, V5 cloud-based learning platform. The newest addition will contain many of the same features as the previous V4 model but with even more improvements. The company says that V5 now includes e-commerce solutions, online portals and learning systems in a box — new learning solutions can be branded to organizations in as quickly as 24 hours. It also offers further capabilities for integrations with other third-party software and partner sites. These features will be presented with an upgraded set of navigation buttons, allowing customers using the site to move more easily throughout the learning system. Designed For A Rewarding Experience? One of the reported hallmarks of Amesite is its feature-rich, intuitively designed platform. Users have a number of high-technology tools at their disposal. Amesite also has a goal of being strongly dedicated to ensuring its solutions are up-to-date and as modernized as possible. It looks to ensure content on the platform can be easily updated and regularly introduces new upgrades and features. Amesite says the latest V5 platform was developed out of direct feedback from current customers. Many were focused on scaling but didn’t have the resources to implement a whole IT department or hire contractors. Instead, Amesite developed V5 to fill this growing need. Through Amesite, users are already able to create customized courses and learning programs adapted to their organization’s audience. Many can opt to build courses from scratch or integrate their own content onto the platform. Amesite states that its technology helps ensure content is up-to-date and that necessary upgrades can be integrated seamlessly. The platform also enables active course monitoring, customer service and other infrastructure measures that support organizations as they scale. When Amesite was initially launched in 2017, the company was hyper-focused on last-mile delivery. This meant success was measured by each student’s ability to complete their educational journey. Since then, Amesite has grown to cater to an ever-growing array of online educational needs. The new V5 platform is the latest update in Amesite’s aim to lead the online learning market for businesses and other institutions. By 2026, the global e-learning market is expected to reach almost $400 billion. Other key players within this space include Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR) and Powerschool Holdings Inc. (NYSE: PWSC). Amesite has developed a number of strategic industry partnerships. For instance, the platform is hosted on Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) Azure Cloud. Amesite reports that it also serves a number of elite organizations, including the City University of New York (CUNY) and EWIE Group of Companies (EGC), and proudly boasts a 98% retention rate.

Kivvit Wins Bronze for Most Innovative Agency at Bulldog PR Awards

Kivvit

Kivvit has won Bronze awards for Most Innovative Agency and Best Issue/Cause Advocacy Campaign at the 2022 Bulldog PR Awards. The annual awards presented by Bulldog Reporter are the only PR awards judged exclusively by journalists. They recognize the most outstanding public relations and communications campaigns, agencies and practitioners each year and are among the most respected distinctions in the field. Entrants submitted in more than 60 categories and were evaluated on their strategy, execution, results and innovation, among other criteria. The Most Innovative Agency designation recognized Kivvit’s focus on analytics-driven communications strategies to achieve extraordinary results for its clients. The firm’s proprietary methodologies for ESG and stakeholder intelligence lead its analytics product offerings and — along with an expansion of the firm’s in-house digital, insights and brand strategy teams — have continually reinforced Kivvit’s reputation as an industry-leading innovator. Kivvit’s winning issue advocacy campaign featured an integrated public affairs strategy to secure increased funding for nonprofit organizations operating in the intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) sector in New York. Through local and statewide media placements, social media, live and virtual events and state-of-the-sector reports, Kivvit was able to sound the alarm about the impacts of a worsening workforce shortage on the population the I/DD sector serves and successfully convey the need for immediate, long-term investment. As a result of these efforts, significant investments in the sector were included in the enacted 2022-2023 New York State Budget. “The resources included in the state budget are the biggest investment this vulnerable community has seen in more than a decade. It’s a testament to the excellent work of the team and the dedication of countless self-advocates, family members, care workers and vocal advocates in the state legislature who are committed to ensuring people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the staff who support them in New York get the support and services they need and deserve,” said Kivvit associate director Josh Rosenfeld. Kivvit’s Bulldog awards come on the heels of several other high-profile industry accolades for the firm’s work, including the 2022 SABRE Award for Best in Show, the Reed Award for Public Affairs Firm of the Year, two American Association of Political Consultants’ Pollie Gold Awards, and selection as a finalist for PRovoke Media’s 2022 Digital Agency of the Year for North America. About Kivvit Kivvit is one of the largest and fastest-growing independent strategic communications and public affairs firms in the United States, with over 130 professionals across six offices in Boston, Chicago, Miami, New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C.

Kivvit Nominated for New York Emmy Awards for NJDOH COVID-19 Public Awareness Campaign

Kivvit

Kivvit today was nominated for multiple Emmys at the New York Emmy Awards for its impactful work with the State of New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) in creating a COVID-19 public awareness campaign. The nominations come after Kivvit won four awards for its work with NJDOH at the American Association of Political Consultants’ Pollie Awards last month, 10 awards at the Reed Awards in April and having won the Platinum SABRE Best In Show Award and Superior Achievement in Research and Planning Award for the same campaign. The Reeds also named Kivvit Public Affairs Firm of the Year for the third consecutive year. “We thank the Murphy Administration for being remarkable partners throughout this entire endeavor,” said Director of Brand Strategy Pearl Gabel. “This effort is among our proudest at Kivvit. We strive to create compelling, interesting content but it is all the more rewarding when that content saves lives.” “It is an honor to be nominated and to have our work showcased with so many other worthwhile efforts,” said Associate Director Vin Ciniello. “Kivvit will continue to build on our data-driven ethos to tackle the most complex issues here in New Jersey and across the country.” Kivvit has worked to amplify NJDOH messaging and resources to change public behavior and mitigate the effects of COVID-19 since the early stages of the pandemic in April 2020. Since then, Kivvit’s work has evolved to encompass a multitude of strategies, leveraging state-of-the-art insights and thousands of ads in dozens of languages. This high-impact work with the NJDOH has led to measurable, life-saving results reflected by an improvement in statewide COVID-19 testing rates and the success of the state’s vaccination efforts. Kivvit’s NJDOH campaign advertisements were nominated for the Public Service Announcement Category Single Entry for its “Sorry, Mom” ad and nominated for the Campaign category for a series of ads, including “Fight Isn’t Over Yet,” “Holiday Gift -Grandma,” “Not That Stupid,” “Holiday Gift – Kid,” and “They Call Me An Essential Worker” ads. Award recipients will be announced in October 2022The Emmy Awards honorees will be announced in October 2022 in a livestream broadcast on the NY Emmys website and at a live in person gala on a date and place to be announced. Of Kivvit’s work with the New Jersey Department of Health, Paul Holmes, chair of the SABRE judges, described the campaign as “everything our judges are looking for in a modern 21st century public relations campaign. It was data-driven, with sharp insights and impressive creativity across multiple channels, and—most important—it resulted in real, measurable behavior change. It’s no exaggeration to say that this campaign saved lives.” About Kivvit Kivvit is one of the largest and fastest-growing independent strategic communications and public affairs firms in the United States, with over 140 professionals across six offices in Boston, Chicago, Miami, New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C.
