Flash ‘Puts Parking on the Map’ with Google Search, Google Maps, and Now Waze

Flash

Flash today announced the full U.S. release of reservable parking transactions in Waze that Flash developed in collaboration with the popular navigation app. Waze joins Google Search and Google Maps in Flash’s growing portfolio of integrations which features parking options with Flash across all three major platforms, including many of the world’s largest parking operators and owners. Together, Flash and Waze set a new standard for how drivers find and pay for parking at 30,000 parking locations in North America. When drivers enter their destinations in Waze, the app now suggests nearby reservable parking locations. Drivers can see important details for selecting their preferred parking location such as cost, amenities, wheelchair-accessibility and valet options. Drivers can reserve and pay for the parking location they choose, and Waze will route them to the selected parking destination where they can access the parking facility with a digital pass. “Driver behaviors and expectations are shifting, and our efforts to embed reservable parking and charging experiences with leading apps and platforms anticipated that shift,” said Dan Roarty, Chief Digital Officer at Flash. “We can help parking asset owners and operators meet drivers in the apps and sites where they plan their travel and bring an end to the era of circling blocks, wasting time and fuel in the search for parking.” Early results prove that allowing drivers to book parking directly in the search and navigation apps they use most is a win for parking owners and operators. Over 90 percent of these drivers are new customers to the parking locations. They make Google parking reservations 8.5 hours in advance and at a median distance of 22.3 miles away from their destination. These customers plan ahead through digital services and trust the navigation apps they already use. “This is an exciting time in the parking industry as Flash continues to partner with Parkway to make our customer experience more seamless and integrated than ever,” said Robert Zuritsky, Parkway President and CEO. “Parkway is thrilled to see reservable parking at our locations made available through these services. Flash understands our business and continually innovates to deliver new channels and capabilities that drive additional customers and transactions to us.” Flash’s integrations with Waze, Google Search and Google Maps unify operators’ availability and pricing data and performance metrics across these Google properties. These properties join Flash’s growing integration footprint alongside existing relationships with Ticketmaster, hundreds of major event venues and automakers like Mercedes Benz and Hyundai. Flash’s flexible developer tools and payment configurations support the integration of Flash experiences into a wide range of interfaces, from desktop and mobile browsers to mobile apps, connected car dashboards and enterprise applications for employee parking and fleets. About Flash Flash is a pioneering technology company bringing seamless parking and EV charging experiences to drivers through a first-of-its-kind digital ecosystem. Flash’s platform connects reservable parking and charging in the apps drivers use every day with garage, surface lot, event, and valet parking locations — connected and controlled via a cloud-based operating system with unrivaled intelligence. Customer-obsessed brands partner with Flash to deliver digital, easy-to-use, reliable, and increasingly frictionless experiences to drivers eager to pay for a solution that eliminates wasted time, excess emissions, and stress from driving. The solution has arrived. Visit www.flashparking.com to learn more. Note to the editor: Find b-roll footage and animation of the user experience in Waze for use at the included links. A list of selected reservable parking options for landmarks in major cities is available by request.

Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria Supports California Governor Newsom’s Call to Halt Tribal Gaming Projects That Are Contrary to U.S. Department of Interior Precedent

Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s Office urged the Department of the Interior not to move forward with new casino projects proposed by the Koi Nation of Northern California and the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians at locations outside of their aboriginal homelands. In a letter to Assistant Secretary Bryan Newland, the Governor’s Office notes that both projects are far outside the aboriginal territory of the Koi Nation and the Scotts Valley Band and the Department of the Interior has failed to consider reasonable alternative locations within their Lake County homelands. The Governor’s Office also expressed concern that the Department of the Interior could stretch the limits of what is allowed under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act to move these proposed casino projects forward, sidestepping the state and ignoring the concerns of other tribes and local communities. “ The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria appreciates Governor Newsom’s support in protecting tribal sovereignty against Interior’s unexplained rush to move these projects forward while ignoring the concerns of local tribes,” said Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria Chairman Greg Sarris. “We have repeatedly explained to Interior that these projects will have devastating impacts to the rights and cultural resources of our Tribe and others in whose ancestral territory these prospective projects are located. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has ultimate responsibility for these decisions and needs to ensure that Interior is working to protect the interests of all tribes.” *** About the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria Graton Rancheria is a federally recognized Indian tribe comprised of Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo Indians. Legislation restoring federal recognition to the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria was signed into law in December 2000. Tribal lands are located in Rohnert Park, Sonoma County, CA.

Liquid Death Becomes Official Partner of Italy’s Campobasso Football Club

Club Underdog

Liquid Death, the healthy beverage platform and one of the fastest-growing non-alcoholic brands, is now the official water and flavored sparkling water partner of Italy’s Campobasso Football Club (Campobasso), which is co-owned by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, Emmy Award-winning hosts of LIVE with Kelly & Mark, the top-rated talk show in the United States. Liquid Death was unveiled as a partner of Campobasso in late July on LIVE, with a guest appearance and jersey swap by Ryan Reynolds. The Deadpool star was gifted the new Liquid Death branded Campobasso FC jersey by Consuelos while exchanging a Wrexham A.F.C. jersey, the Welsh club which has gained global popularity through its “Welcome to Wrexham” series on FX. “The Campobasso journey has been a fairytale over the past two years, taking this club from the bottom to winning two consecutive promotions for the first time in our 100-plus year history,” said Consuelos. “Much in the same way Liquid Death has built one of the boldest brands on the planet right now, we built Campobasso with precision, fearlessness and by dreaming big. Campobasso FC has now arrived and is ready to play on big stages, and what better brand to partner with than Liquid Death, who has taken on the giants and won just as we intend to do on the pitch.” As part of a multi-year agreement that makes Liquid Death the official water partner of Campobasso FC, fans will see Liquid Death at all Campobasso FC concession stands, on stadium signage, on special edition jerseys, and wrapped around the team's tour bus. Liquid Death will also collaborate on LED ad boards, the player tunnel walkway, product kiosks, unique activations, and events for Campobasso FC fans in North America, and more. “This is our first venture into European football, and we couldn't be more excited for it," said Ryan Heuser, Liquid Death’s senior vice president of experiential marketing. “We’re thrilled to bring our infinitely recyclable, ice-cold cans of Liquid Death to the highly passionate fans of Southern Italy’s historical club. We’ll be on the road with the team as the exclusive sponsor of the team bus and carried at all concession stands at the Molinari Avicor Stadium in Campobasso.” Matt Rizzetta, Chairman of North Sixth Group, parent company and operator of Campobasso FC, oversaw the revival of the team from near obscurity, with only 70 fans at matches during its first game in 2022, to attracting 30,000 fans for its celebration upon the club’s triumphant promotion to Serie C in 2024. “The partnership between Camopbasso FC and Liquid Death brings together two of today’s feel-good underdog stories in sports and water,” said Matt Rizzetta, Chairman of North Sixth Group, parent company of Campobasso FC. “With Mike Cessario and Liquid Death, our journeys intersect in many ways and share the same values of perseverance, courage, and overcoming the odds. We couldn’t think of a better partner with whom to join hands as we both write the next chapter in our respective underdog stories.” Located between Rome and Naples in the region of Molise, Campobasso carries a proud football tradition that dates back more than 100 years. The team has one of the most passionate followings in central and southern Italy, having beaten some of the most successful teams in Italian football such as Juventus, AC Milan, and Lazio, during its glory years of the 1980’s. In 2022, fans of Campobasso were at risk of losing football completely after the team was denied entrance to the professional leagues. On the brink of losing all hope of competing in Italian football, North Sixth Group acquired Campobasso along with Ripa and Consuelos, restarting from the fifth tier of the Italian football pyramid. Since acquiring the club, Campobasso has won two consecutive championships and has been promoted to Serie C, the third tier of Italian professional football. Liquid Death uses comedy and entertainment to promote both sustainability and healthy products. Liquid Death’s social following captures more than 9.5 million followers across TikTok and Instagram, making it the third most followed beverage brand globally. The company donates a portion of proceeds to nonprofits as part of their partnership with 5Gyres and the Thirst Project. For more information, visit www.CampobassoFC.com and follow the official social media channels of Campobasso FC on Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Patreon. About Liquid Death As one of the fastest growing non-alcoholic beverage brands, Liquid Death uses comedy and entertainment to make health and sustainability 50 times more fun. We take the healthiest things you can drink and package it into infinitely recyclable cans that compete with the fun marketing of unhealthy brands across energy drinks, beer, and junk food. Our product lines include mountain water, sparkling mountain water, sparkling flavored water, iced tea, and our hydration sticks, Death Dust. A portion of Liquid Death’s proceeds goes to nonprofits who are helping fight plastic pollution and bring clean drinking water to those in need.

New Survey Finds 1 in 10 US Workers are Digital Nomads: Social Contract and Policy Response Are Needed by Regulators and Corporations Alike

MBO Partners

The latest research conducted by MBO Partners® reveals that digital nomadism like many other social norms has evolved, faster than relevant regulation and corporate policies from a niche lifestyle to a mainstream work movement, necessitating urgent action from employers to adopt comprehensive policies now and for a change in the social contract between workers and corporations. The 2024 State of Independence Report shows that 11% of the U.S. workforce, or 18.1 million workers, now identify as digital nomads. Despite this trend, 36% of these workers operate without formal employer consent, exposing companies to significant regulatory, tax, compliance, and cybersecurity risks. As more workers aspire to this lifestyle, formal, enforceable policies become critical, enabling employers to mitigate risks and capitalize on this rapidly growing workforce segment. “Today, leading organizations know they must attract top talent to survive, including allowing workers to operate when and where they want,” said Miles Everson, CEO of MBO Partners. “Implementing formal policies to track and engage with remote and nomadic workers should be considered standard practice. In this case, policies aren’t restrictive, they help attract the most in-demand workers while reducing potential legal, regulatory, and IT risks. At the same time today’s social contract is outdated and needs to be changed to reflect the reality of workers’ rights and to properly align work arrangements to reduce the regulatory burden on corporate America." Key trend insights revealed in this year’s study include: Digital Nomadism has evolved from niche to normal. The 2024 report reveals that more than one in ten workers is now a digital nomad, reflecting a 4.7% increase from the previous year and a remarkable 147% growth since 2019. Digital nomads now constitute 11% of the U.S. workforce, reflecting that this way of working is now the new normal for independent workers and traditional employees alike. Structured digital nomad programs are win-win for employers and workers alike. As digital nomadism becomes more prevalent, employers recognize the benefits of implementing these programs for talent acquisition and internal compliance with tax, legal and security policies. Digital nomads are ambassadors for work-life balance. Digital nomads often serve as ambassadors for their companies, showcasing the attractive work-life balance that employers of choice can offer. By aligning work projects with employees’ travel plans, companies can create a win-win situation where both productivity and employee satisfaction are maximized. This alignment not only enhances the employee experience but also fosters a positive and dynamic company culture. ‘Slomading’ and ‘Tethered Nomading’ trends strengthen social connections. Four in ten (40%) of digital nomads plan to spend more time in the U.S. next year, both due to the increasing complexities of travel and because they may have some in-office requirements. In fact, 51% plan to travel exclusively within the U.S., up from 42% in 2022. Digital nomads visit fewer locations but spend more time at each stop, a trend known as “slomading.” This approach provides a more active social life, reduces travel stress, and improves work productivity and relational diversity. Hidden corporate digital nomads create risks. Digital nomads with traditional jobs can leave their employers vulnerable to regulatory, tax, compliance, and legal risks. Despite these risks, few organizations have formal digital nomad policies. Many digital nomads work under informal agreements or without their employer’s knowledge, increasing legal and cybersecurity risks. About one-third of digital nomads with traditional jobs are “hidden,” meaning their companies are unaware of their nomadic status. Millions aspire to be digital nomads. In 2024, 21 million workers expressed a desire to become digital nomads, with 45 million considering it. This shows a significant interest in the lifestyle, despite only 7% to 9% of these aspirants becoming digital nomads. This data highlights a ready pool of potential digital nomads to fuel the trend’s continued future growth.
