MoEngage and Marketoonist Research Reveals 45 Percent of Brand Marketers Can’t React Quickly Enough to Deliver Timely, Personalized Customer Experiences

MoEngage

Almost half (45%) of North American business-to-consumer (B2C) marketers said they struggle to move quickly enough to deliver timely, personalized customer experiences. Given this, it’s no surprise that 65% of marketers plan to increase their technology spending in 2024. These marketers use at least five engagement channels to reach customers but still have outdated technology tools and even spreadsheets to manage and optimize them. These are just some key findings in MoEngage’s new report, The State of Cross-Channel Marketing 2024. To create this report, MoEngage surveyed more than 700+ B2C marketers from companies of various sizes across eight key industry sectors, including e-commerce & retail, financial services, and media and entertainment. The key objectives of the report are to gain insights around cross-channel marketing for: Top priorities in 2024 for B2C marketing professionals Biggest challenges and opportunities for brand marketing teams executing customer engagement campaigns Measuring and optimizing customer engagement efforts Building a successful cross-channel marketing program In addition to these answers, the free report from MoEngage includes exclusive new illustrations by Marketoonist Creator Tom Fishburne that are as entertaining as they are insightful. Marketoonist is a cartoon studio focused on content marketing, thought leadership, and culture change. “I really enjoyed collaborating with MoEngage to mine the experiences of so many brand marketers in this report for humor. I hope the cartoons help spark conversations on how we can get better at customer experience,” said Fishburne. “Laughing together at some of what we all grapple with — from data to AI to limited budgets to juggling so many channels — makes it easier to openly talk about where we need to improve.” Acquisition Matters More Than Retention—But Should It? In 2024, marketers indicate that they will measure success primarily through the lens of customer acquisition. Getting new customers is the top priority by a significant margin. Data from the MoEngage survey shows that the top three objectives for brands in the new year are: Finding new customers (57%) Increasing customer engagement/loyalty (44.9%) Retaining current customers (40.8%) Marketers should take caution and keep sight of prioritizing customer retention this year. Retaining existing customers through personalized engagement can provide better ROI than focusing too much on acquisition. This is where having a well-integrated, personalized cross-channel marketing approach will yield rewards! Email Still Takes the Crown as Top Customer Engagement Channel MoEngage’s new research shows that email marketing is alive and well in North America. The four most popular engagement channels that B2C marketers use are: Email (89.6%) Social Media (80.3%) Desktop Website (67.1%) Mobile Website (65%) Mobile App (49%) The data points out a growing trend in digital spaces: Mobile Apps, SMS, and Push Notifications are on the rise. While they’re already showing a promising return on investment, marketers have barely scratched the surface of what these channels can do for customer engagement. “The survey data shows marketers are spreading their wings across more channels, leading to an increase in active users," explained Aditya Vempaty, VP of Marketing for MoEngage. "But they're hitting a wall with tight budgets, data silos, and outdated tools. These barriers complicate their ability to do deeper data analysis. For a win in 2024, they'll need to sharpen their strategies with personalized marketing, powered by fresh tech for deeper customer insights—avoiding the pitfalls of flying blind with old systems."

Kadimastem Ltd. (TASE: KDST), a clinical stage cell therapy company, developing and manufacturing "off-the-shelf" allogeneic cell products using its platform technology to develop treatments for different neurodegenerative diseases and a potential cure for diabetes, has been granted a patent from the Indian Patent and Trademark Office for its cell therapy technology. The cell sorting patent will be protected until November 2036 for the company's innovative cell selection and enrichment technology. This patent covers the production of IsletRx, the company's product for the treatment and potential cure for diabetes. The company's technology is unique with its ability to select and enrich only the highest functioning and purest islet cells from the population of differentiated islet-like cells which enables the maximum therapeutic effect. According to the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs, CNN and the pharmaletter India is a fastest growing economy of the global G20 with massive investments in web infrastructure and growing pharma and biotech sectors. As such biotech companies are increasingly securing their IP in India to ensure maximal potential revenues in the Indian subcontinent[1]. The approval of this patent in India is particularly important, especially in light of our collaboration project with iTolerance, a US company in the diabetes field and funded by the BIRD Foundation. The project combines Kadimastem’s and iTolerance’ s technologies to develop and commercialize a breakthrough regenerative technology to cure diabetes without the need for life-threatening chronic immuno-suppression. The project received a US $1Million grant from the BIRD Foundation for this project. Out of a total budget of US $2 Million In addition, according to statista in 2021, India was ranked second in the world with about 74.2 million diabetic adults in the 20 to 79 years old age group. The number of diabetic individuals was projected to increase to over 124 million in 2045[2]. In financial year 2021, the market size of diabetes and pre-diabetes care market in India was valued at about 17 billion U.S. dollars. It is forecasted to reach about 34 billion dollars in 2026 and 59 billion dollars in 2031[3]. Asaf Shiloni, company CEO: “Kadimastem highly believes that the company’s treatment can improve the quality of lives for hundreds of thousands of those dealing with the daily struggles of insulin dependent diabetes (IDD) by presenting a potential cure for IDD with our unique patented solution with IsletRx cells.” In May 2021, the selection technology covered by this patent was described in a peer-reviewed journal article [4] in Frontiers in Endocrinology. About Kadimastem Kadimastem is a clinical stage cell therapy company, developing and manufacturing "off-the-shelf", allogeneic, proprietary cell products based on its technology platform for the expansion and differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) into functional cells.

Kadimastem is traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE: KDST). About IsletRx The IsletRx product is a clinical-grade collection of pancreatic islet cells. Preclinical studies have shown that the cells are able to detect the sugar levels in the body and to produce, and secrete, on demand, the required amounts of insulin and glucagon, just like a healthy pancreas and enables the insulin dependent patient to avoid an abnormal drop in sugar level (hypoglycemia). In addition, the method of production and selection of the cells enables their implantation in various types of smaller size devices, suitable for maximum comfort for people living with diabetes.

Eat To Think: The Power of Nutrient-Dense Foods for Enhanced Cognitive Function!

YourUpdateTV

No one wants to slip into their later years with a failing memory or inability to think clearly and make decisions. Recently Peter Castleman, Author of “Eat to Think: Big Pharma Wants You to Take Pills Forever. We Don't.”, conducted a satellite media tour to share tips and advice on how to use nutritious food to help support your brain health and cognitive function. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/-jYERLSPs80 If you’re over 50, you’re most likely a part of the growing number of people who fear a gradual loss of brain function, otherwise known as cognitive decline or dementia. It’s normal to worry. But there is good news. Cognitive decline is mostly the result of lifestyle choices, not genetics. It is simply a story of “too little/too much “- too little of the nutrients your brain needs daily to maintain health and too much of the foods, drugs, and poor lifestyle choices that damage the brain. Nutrient Survival, the pioneering force in Special Ops Grade nutritional innovation, announces the launch of the book “ Eat to Think,” co-authored by Peter M. Castleman and B. Eric Christianson and available now on Amazon. The book explores the beauty of the brain and how it is designed to regenerate forever while empowering readers with Six Pillars of Brilliance to strengthen brain health and longevity. Both Christianson, CEO of Nutrient Survival, and Castleman, Chairman of Nutrient Institute, a non-profit dedicated to improving human nutrition, were spurred to write “Eat to Think” after researching the damage to human health created by common nutritional habits and an over dependence on “Big Pharma” to address health symptoms versus root issues. “In today’s society we have come to accept the inevitable degeneration of our brains and mental function, which does not need to be our fate,” insists Castleman. “Declining mental faculties with age is typically a product of ‘neuroinflammation,’ a process that gradually damages brain cells but can be reversed with proper nutrition. We have the power to regenerate our brain cells within literal reach of our pantries and refrigerators.” Much of the nutritional science and functional ingredients discussed in “Eat to Think'' are incorporated into Nutrient Survival’s newest BrainCare® product launch, the Brain Omega 3 Bar®. An all-natural solution to support brain performance, each Brain Omega 3 Bar® features a patent-pending combination of 1,948mg of Omega 3s, 40 essential nutrients including 27 vitamins and minerals, naturally occurring flavonoids and 8g of protein, all offering better bioavailability of ingredients to nourish both your brain and body. Brain Omega 3 Bar - Fig & Dark Chocolate contains sweet ripe figs, rich dark chocolate, and tart cranberry pieces. Brain Omega 3 Bar - Fig & Roasted Peanut offers ground peanut with sweet ripe figs, semi-sweet chocolate, and creamy peanut morsels. Both flavors are blended with rolled oats, organic rice crisps, milled flax and hemp seeds and feature the following: ● 1,948 mg of Omega 3 (EPA 430 mg + DHA 323 mg + ALA 1,160mg + SDA 35mg) ● 40 essential nutrients ● 27 vitamins and minerals ● 8g of protein including 1.5g of collagen ● Natural flavonoids from semi-sweet chocolate, figs and peanuts ● No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives ● Gluten free The Brain Omega 3 Bar® is available for $2.75 a bar in bags of 15 at nutrientsurvival.com. For more info on the book visit eattothink.com - About Nutrient Survival Nutrient Survival LLC is an end-to-end food technology company offering nutrient dense survival food for emergencies and every day. Nutrient Survival has experienced explosive growth since its introduction in 2020, behind its patented nutrient dense products and compelling brand proposition. Designed to the same nutritional requirements of the US military for its elite Special Ops units, the brand delivers six times more nutrition than any other survival food brand. Nutrient Survival meals designed using the nutritional standards specified in Department of Defense pubs AR 40-25/OPNAVINST 10110.1/MCO 10110.49/AFI 44–141 for Restricted Rations, those rations intended for use on special operations missions. Meals meet or exceed standards for 23 nutrients on a per calorie basis. Neither the US Armed Forces nor the US Federal Government has approved, endorsed or authorized this product. The opinions expressed are solely those of the individual's. About the Authors Peter M. Castleman. Chairman of Nutrient Survival; Chairman of WISEcode; Chairman of Nutrient Institute. A lifetime entrepreneur who for the past decade has been dedicated to improving human nutrition and information about what is in our foods. Castleman graduated from Duke University at the top of his class in Economics, became a Professor at Harvard, then worked on Wall Street. Castleman bought North Face outerwear company when it was going bankrupt and turned it into a 3 billion per year company and then sold it. He did the same with Igloo, Herbalife, and many others. Castleman aims to empower consumers to manage wellness, instead of being controlled by Big Food, Big Ag, and Big Pharma. With good information, Castleman believes humans can make informed decisions with their lifestyle choices. B. Eric Christianson. CEO of Nutrient Survival; Army Veteran; Airborne Ranger qualified; West Point Distinguished Cadet graduate. After a career of leading iconic food brands at Fortune 100 companies, Christianson found his lifelong calling when he was asked by Castleman to build a company called Nutrient Survival.

MultiversX Blockchain Data Now Embedded in Global Internet Data Streams via Google BigQuery

STORM Partners

Sibiu, Romania, February 06, 2023 - MultiversX, the leader in sharding technology across public distributed networks, has now become available on Google BigQuery. This marks a significant milestone, and opens access to blockchain data in an easy manner, with Google embedding data streams from the MultiversX blockchain into the internet and making it readily available. Google BigQuery is an enterprise-grade, petabyte-scale cloud data warehouse, with a cost-effective pay-as-you-go pricing model. Anyone with a Google Account can now get insights about the MultiversX network, such as the top 100 block producers, without running specialized software and waiting to sync the ledger. Other quick-to-use sample queries available directly on the MultiversX dataset page are: details about the latest blocks, daily transaction count, largest EGLD transfers in a specific timeframe or top used smart contracts. MultiversX network on-chain data on BigQuery: https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/bigquery-public-data/blockchain-analytics-multiversx-mainnet-eu Developers and projects using MultiversX for conducting and recording actions on-chain are now granted access to an important new instrument for their toolkit. With the help of Google BigQuery, they can perform in-depth product analysis to understand their users’ behavior, and evaluate what their product development priorities are. “ Analyzing and interpreting data to reveal useful insights and information about product usage is a science barely explored compared to its potential utility for the web3 space. Having Google resolve a big part of the hassle for MultiversX projects is an important step towards making dApps better, more useful, and more appealing to the masses. “ said Lucian Mincu, MultiversX Foundation CIO. The service is provided through the MultiversX ETL, a tool developed by the core team of the Layer 1 smart contract platform, which extracts, transforms and feeds Google BigQuery with blockchain data at hourly intervals. Google Cloud involvement in the MultiversX ecosystem extends beyond this important integration. The two leading technology companies are co-working on multiple initiatives to accelerate Web3, including a startup accelerator program, hackathons and developer initiatives, and joint business developments, such as the presence of MultiversX as partner in the Google Cloud booth at GITEX Global, Dubai 2023. About MultiversX MultiversX is a highly scalable public blockchain via sharding, decentralized through 3200 validator nodes, built to solve the three fundamental problems critical for widespread, global adoption: transition from dial-up to broadband, significant UX paradigm shift, and simplicity of self-custody.
