The Story Behind the Fantastic Growth of a San Diego Marketing Agency

Both French, Giovanni Letellier and Clement Connor come from different business backgrounds. They met in San Diego in 2014 and became friends, not knowing this friendship would evolve into a successful business partnership.

Clement had a proven record of successful enterprises built on transparent customer relationships and aggressive business development.

Giovanni had moved from Canada to SoCal nursing the idea of launching a marketing agency that would use advanced technology to reach and exceed clients' goals.

It was all in the timing and made perfect sense to team up, so it could happen. Thus was created CNG Digital Marketing, Clement N Giovanni.

To get started, they needed an office. Starbucks coffee shop was the place that fueled their energy (caffeine may have played a role). Their goal? To revolutionize online marketing by helping businesses grow, though as a partner more than an agency in the classic sense.

In 2017, they moved into a beautiful space located in Sorrento Valley – the New Silicon Valley - in the heart of San Diego tech companies turf. The modern 4,000 sq ft office houses the team that works on new business development and projects yet to be publicly revealed. Read all the related news.

In 2016, CNG gave life to a sister company that focuses more on medium to large businesses: SiO Digital, an AI-powered and data-driven marketing agency. Giovanni transferred his responsibilities as CEO of CNG to Clement and took the role of Chief Strategist, so he could dedicate more time to SiO's growth and future projects.

Starting small, with big ideas and a venti latte, they built two complementary entities from scratch and have recruited 15 team members, reaching 3 million dollars business valuation.

"The opportunity to move has allowed us to find new talents, while also working closely with larger companies," Clement says.

The founders believe that digital marketing evolves constantly, and marketers must redefine strategies to adapt and tailor to businesses' needs.

They are talented innovators, visionaries, who understand the limits of traditional marketing better than anyone, and who have the drive to adapt and outpace the demands of today's digital space.

"I wanted to change the way people see marketing agencies by implementing data-driven strategies. We did it, we are implementing it, and we will make it incredible. The best way to predict the future is to create it, right?" Giovanni says. Read related news here.

Clement and Giovanni are more than chief-something, truth be told. They believe in giving back to the community as a token of gratitude for what life has allowed them to accomplish. Together with Diaa El All, VP of Business Development, they launched a members-only network of luxury-car lovers/entrepreneurs. The profits from the events associated with each gathering (dining, auctions, fundraising, …) are distributed to selected charities.

About CNG Digital
CNG Digital Marketing is a uniquely established agency, but also the beginning of a long entrepreneurship. Some other secret projects will be announced soon and will make the story of the 'bros' even more incredible.

This story is brought to you by Emma Astroth, the very first salaried employee of CNG Digital Marketing, now Inbound Director at SiO Digital and Inbound Strategist for CNG.
"It is an honor to be part of this incredible journey and a joy to work with Clement and Giovanni. We are all growing professionally and personally and becoming better persons and better marketers. What a ride!"

Author Wins Four Literary Awards for His Latest Young Adult Fantasy Novels

Miguel Lopez de Leon started writing as a hobby, crafting short stories for several magazines, and online publications. That passion soon flourished into his first fantasy series, the award-winning "Galadria" trilogy. His latest novels are also making a mark in the young adult literary world with impressive honors and recognition in both the Nautilus and Reader Views literary awards programs. Read related news now.

"The Light Dweller" and "The Covens of Elmeeria" were each awarded a silver medal in the Middle Grade Fiction category at the 2017-2018 Nautilus Book Awards. In the 2017-2018 Reader Views Reviewer's Choice Awards, "The Light Dweller" won 2nd Place in the overall Fantasy category, and "The Covens of Elmeeria" won 2nd Place in the overall Young Adult category.

Both stories feature the importance of self-worth, with the protagonists in each growing into their own as they overcome tremendous obstacles to realize their full potential. "The Light Dweller" is about Ben, a 12-year-old boy who finds a hidden world far below the Earth's surface, and must help its populace save the only light source available or risk being plunged into darkness forever. As noted by the author, "Throughout 'The Light Dweller' Ben is dealing with his own internal battles. Since he was badly bullied for many years, he has a difficult time trusting people. Ben finds it a challenge to look someone in the eyes, let alone to go on a dangerous quest. He's an unlikely hero full of self-doubt and fear, who is constantly fighting against his own insecurities."

"The Covens of Elmeeria," on the other hand, takes place in a prosperous kingdom where witches are hated and scorned. But when enemy soldiers take the king and queen hostage, Crown Princess Nia must convince a coven of sorceresses outside the kingdom to help her overtake the soldiers to save her family. Of "The Covens of Elmeeria," De Leon says, "Although Nia wants to be taken seriously as a leader, the choices she has to make, and the situations she has to endure, are ones that anyone would find challenging. She has to overcome incredible odds, and deal with devastating loss, all in a very short amount of time."

In addition to the strong characters, readers are captivated with the author's world-building and storytelling talents. "My favorite part about the author's writing was the sheer imagination and creativity that was used to create both terrifying and enchanting characters, as well as his ability to create a whole world unique to other popular science fiction settings" -- Faryal Jabbar on "The Light Dweller," Reader Views Kids. "Clever plotting and rich descriptive passages make this a fun glimpse into a new fantasy realm. 'The Covens of Elmeeria' is a believable and inspiring fantasy journey." -- Foreword Clarion Review

The Nautilus Awards represents "Better Books for a Better World." Now in its 20th year, this book award program seeks, honors, awards and promotes print books that inspire and connect our lives as individuals, communities, and global citizens. The Reader Views Reviewer's Choice Awards, now in its 11th year, honors and celebrates writers geared for the North American reading audience.

An Unconventional Dance Pop Premiere

"Soulmates," a quirky, catchy, upbeat pop release, creates the unconventional character of a "psychopathic soulmate" in a romantic bond. Artist Lauren Waller's new release explores the narrative of someone who drives you crazy with the way they show love. Waller explores the unusual theme of a "psychopathic soulmate," someone who has created a mask by mimicking emotions and demonstrates charm to become a "soulmate" in a relationship. "Soulmates" weaves the images of a deceptive yet seemingly magical connection of emotional intensity never felt before, with a mixture of appeal and apprehension that is addiction.

Waller's expressive vocals toy with intonations reflective of the glib charm of the devious psychopathic character. The emotionally invested partner expresses betrayal having been lured into an intensely manipulative, controlling, yet compelling psychological bond, culminating with retrospective realization of the deception.

The Los Angeles based artist bridges the divide between 1980's dark wave and electro textured indie pop. To date, Waller has released two, Ep's, a recent single "Sunshine", which has received global radio airplay, and the newly unleashed, single,"Soulmates". She has garnered accolades from Young Hollywood, Music Existence, Coming Up Magazine, The Spotlight, All Access Music, Kurrent Music, and Vents Magazine, among other outlets. "We can't wait to see what else she's got in store for us!" declared Independent Artist Buzz after featuring her recent well received, dark pop love song,"Sunshine". Waller delivers with her latest release, "Soulmates".

Linket Has 4000 Users Owning 4800 Linkets

Linket Corp. has signed up 4000 users who own 4800 linket brands. This helps demonstrate the market demand for its product.

A linket is akin to a conventional domain name. But the linket is for live interactions via mobile devices (mostly cellphones) between the linket owner and another user. The latter user would pick (usually click) the linket on her phone. Leading to an install (with her consent) of a multiuser app that the linket owner had earlier picked to be associated with his linket.

Linket Corp. makes a Registry to enable this interaction. Currently an Alpha version of the Registry can be seen at the firm's website linket.info. By picking the Registry button, you can scroll through or search the Registry.

The 4800 linkets in the Registry are mostly in English. But there are linkets in Russian, Chinese, Hindi etc. Unlike domains, which are still restricted to using the Roman alphabet. The Registry also shows that most linkets have white space and upper and lower case. It greatly improves the readability compared to domains.

Linket is a privately held C Corp based in Los Angeles. It has 2 US patents (one is a blockchain patent) and 11 patents pending.

A Focus on Heart Health Risks in New Mothers for Preeclampsia Awareness Month

May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month and NCMA's Women's OB/GYN Medical Group joins with the Preeclampsia Foundation to help raise awareness. This year the foundation's efforts are on postpartum preeclampsia as 97 percent of maternal deaths related to preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy occur within just six weeks of delivery, a time when most new mothers might think the danger has passed. Read all the latest news.

A woman can develop preeclampsia after her baby is born, regardless of whether she experienced high blood pressure during her pregnancy. With such alarming statistics related to postpartum preeclampsia, it very important that a new mother remain vigilant and continue to monitor her heart health and blood pressure even after delivery.

Understanding Preeclampsia

Postpartum preeclampsia is a serious condition related to high blood pressure. Women who have just delivered a baby are most at risk, although it has no effect on the baby. There is no known cause for preeclampsia to manifest in pregnant women. In many cases, women diagnosed with preeclampsia see symptoms abate following delivery, but the Preeclampsia Foundation emphasizes that 'delivery is not a cure'. In some cases, symptoms begin during pregnancy, but some patients may not be symptomatic until after the baby is born. Postpartum preeclampsia most commonly occurs within the first seven days after delivery although new mothers remain at risk for up to six weeks following delivery.

Know the warning signs

Early diagnosis and being vigilant to symptoms followed by quick response is imperative to saving lives. Symptoms include (and can be complicated by lack of sleep, postpartum depression and/or simple lack of awareness about the signs):

When a patient thinks they are experiencing warning signs of postpartum preeclampsia, the first thing to do is go to the Emergency Department, request to be seen by an OB, and report that they have recently given birth. The first seven days after delivery is when women who experience preeclampsia are at highest risk. Effectively controlling high blood pressure is key to avoiding very serious health risks that include; seizures, stroke, organ damage and sometimes death. Read news here.
