KnowBe4’s Year-Over-Year Sales Skyrocket 50% Over Q2 2019 for Another Record-Breaking Quarter

KnowBe4, the provider of the world's largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, today announced a significant year-over-year sales increase surpassing all previous records. In the Second Quarter of 2019, KnowBe4 has reached an impressive 50% over Q2 2018 along with increasing customer accounts to over 26,000.

The 25th consecutive quarter of explosive growth has been driven by an increase in demand for KnowBe4's new-school approach, accompanied by rapidly expanding security awareness training content portfolio. The demand continues to grow globally as KnowBe4 increases its worldwide expansion with the acquisition of CLTRe, cementing its presence as Europe's leading security awareness training and phishing platform. CLTRe helps raise an organization's cultural security awareness from phishing attacks, turning employees into a "human firewall" capable of recognizing cyber threats.

Leading global investment firm KKR also recognized KnowBe4's highly successful approach to security awareness training by making a sizable investment in the company in the second quarter of 2019. KKR's investment, with participation from TenEleven Ventures, elevates KnowBe4's valuation to over $1 billion. The investment from KKR reaffirms the demand for security awareness training as the last line of defense.

"We are extremely proud of achieving our billion-dollar valuation," said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. "Only one percent of the companies who are founded get backed by venture capitalists. And only one percent of those companies earn a billion-dollar valuation. This milestone recognizes the importance of having new-school security awareness training as phishing attacks have increased, along with the consequences of falling victim to CEO fraud, ransomware, and spear phishing attacks."

Other recent and notable milestones and awards for Q2 2019 include:

Sjouwerman continued, "The growth in the European market has led us to the acquisition of CLTRe, which will add another layer of resources to help our customers create a secure organizational culture. We're also planning to expand KnowBe4 into new markets where we see a need for this kind of training, such as Japan, Dubai, and Australia."

It is our hope that for every backpack given away, one less child will feel ill-prepared and at a loss on the first day of school."

United Plastics Launches New Website, Revamps Acoustical Product Line

United Plastics Corporation, Inc.™ recently launched its new website, http://www.unitedplastics.com, showcasing its revamped acoustical product line and a more user-friendly interface that allows visitors to quickly find product and technical information. United Plastics, a plastics extrusion manufacturer, began developing and manufacturing commercial, industrial and residential soundproofing materials more than 10 years ago. Prior to the launch of the new website, the company's two divisions lived separately online.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/proshred-arizona-announces-pilot.html

"We know that if people can't find what they need online quickly, they'll go somewhere else to get it," said John Bishop, acoustical representative and technical support at UPC. "Our goal with this new website was to make it really easy for our customers – new or existing – to find everything they need to successfully complete a project."

UPC's core plastics extrusion business is well established with customers that require customized products. Those customers work directly with UPC engineers and other representatives to complete purchases. The soundproofing side of the business has a more niche customer base that includes architects, distributors, manufacturers/OEMs and contractors. The information those customers require – technical product information, specifications, installation instructions and testing data – is now downloadable from the website.

In addition to making product information more accessible, the dB soundproofing product line was reorganized to help customers easily identify products based on their required application and performance expectations. For example, wall products have a dB3 prefix while all flooring products are designated as dB4. There are also "Lite" and "MAX" versions that provide customers with varying levels of performance. Several new products have also been added to the offering. Read all the latest news.

United Plastics Corporation, Inc., located in Mount Airy, North Carolina, has been a leader in the manufacture of quality plastic products since 1946. Our wide variety of innovative, sustainable plastics are designed for use in the construction, automotive, furniture, and marine and boating industries. We offer flexible, rigid and dual durometer profiles, PVC cellular foam profiles, flexible sheet and roll goods and are one of the largest suppliers of automotive die cut wear pads in North America. In addition to our manufacturing capabilities, we provide full engineering and design services, tool design and manufacturing services, secondary finishing operations, and custom polymer color and compounding services. We also offer a variety of consumer and commercial acoustic and soundproofing products that are available through regional, national and independent retailers across the United States.

MGA Entertainment's L.O.L. Surprise! Grew 47 Percent in May 2019

According to The NPD Group's May 2019 U.S. Toys Executive Summary, MGA Entertainment's L.O.L. Surprise! grew 47 percent in May 2019 versus the previous year.

The NPD Group Toys Executive Summary is a monthly report that is sent to NPD clients who subscribe to NPD's U.S. Toys Retail Tracking Service. The report includes an industry overview and year-to-date trend.

On June 27, 2019, NPD issued an incorrect executive summary, stating that L.O.L. Surprise! declined 21 percent when, in fact, it increased 47 percent in May 2019 versus the previous year. The correct summary was reissued on June 28, 2019.

"We extend our apologies to MGA Entertainment and others who may have been affected by the incorrect data," said Joanne Hageman, President U.S. Entertainment Sector at The NPD Group. "Although the executive summary is sent only to NPD clients, in the event that the corrected data was not seen by those who saw the original, we want to set the record straight."

FADEL Announces the General Availability of Content Eye

FADEL®, the leader in Digital Rights Management for marketing and advertising content, today announced the July 22nd general availability of Content Eye. The only offering in the market that combines content tracking and identification with usage rights management, Content Eye is a sophisticated cloud offering empowering companies to find where and how their brand assets are being used across the internet and social media as well as detect usage violations.

With today's digital and omnichannel marketing strategies, companies intentionally have a substantial amount of digital content spread across their own brand websites, social media sites, and e-commerce channels. In addition, their digital content lives on the web and social media sites of their retail and e-commerce channel partners. Once the content is distributed to these hundreds and thousands of mediums, it not surprisingly becomes challenging to know and track where it is actually published. Content Eye is being released with website crawlers to find all indexed images, including premium crawlers tailored for Amazon and Instagram and certified for Facebook. The software will perform image recognition across designated sites without requiring the image to have embedded watermarks or fingerprints.

Mitigating a brand's risk exposure, Content Eye will automatically validate if an image is being used in compliance with usage rights. The images and their modified variations will be compared against licensed usage terms to determine if there are any potential violations. The software will identify expired or expiring assets so that brands can manage a takedown process; it will additionally alert on incorrect uses in order to help eliminate any copyright violations.

"While many companies have a solid grasp on internal governance, it remains difficult for them to find all published brand assets across their advertising distribution chain and identify whether their digital marketing content is still valid or expired," says Gregg Guest, Vice President of Product Management at FADEL. "We were thrilled by the initial response to Content Eye by Beta testers who gave it a 5 out of 5 across the board finding it particularly valuable for digital marketing functions such as tracking expired imagery. With this technology, organizations can avoid copyright violations, find expired on-line content, and gain a firm grasp on their risk exposure."

Content Eye is generally available on July 22nd, 2019 as an add-on to Rights Cloud subscriptions or standalone. You can see it in action or find additional information on the FADEL website. To request pricing and sign up for Content Eye, click here.

RE/MAX Realtor Phil Barru Shares Top Tips on Preparing a Home to Sell

When Barru, broker associate at RE/MAX Professionals, speaks to prospective sellers, he is often asked, "What should I do to my house to get it ready to sell? Should I remodel the kitchen or bath? Finish the basement? Replace windows? Do a landscaping makeover?"

These costly and time-consuming major improvements will surely add value to one's home. However, they very rarely add as much immediate resale value as they actually cost. "It is best to tackle major remodeling tasks several years before you plan to sell so you regain much of the value by your own enjoyment," said Barru. "Plus, most of these improvements will increase the appreciation of your home and over time will fully offset their costs."

According to Barru, the most important pre-listing improvements are frequently overlooked by both sellers and agents. They are relatively low cost, yet will have a huge impact on both the market appeal and sale price of one's home. "Additionally, since they are often overlooked your home will stand out from your competition in the market," noted Barru.

The No. 1 pre-listing improvement is to have the home immaculately "white glove" clean inside and out. This is the least expensive upgrade that adds the most value. "Thousands more than homes that are not so clean," stressed Barru. "You want everything to shine, including all surfaces, windows, inside of cabinets and appliances, garage and unfinished areas. Nobody wants to live with someone else's grime. Extreme cleanliness appeals to 100% of buyers!" Furthermore, the impression buyers will have when they tour a gleaming clean home is that the owner takes excellent care of it.

The second pre-listing improvement is to take care of all of the visibly obvious repairs and maintenance items. This too is usually inexpensive and has a very large return. "Fix all those dripping faucets, lights and switches that don't work, loose or missing trim and hardware, doors that don't close properly, and cracked windows," advised Barru. "Most buyers don't want to make repairs to their new home -- even minor ones. They want to move in and enjoy it from day one. Again, a turnkey home appeals to 100% of buyers. Very few listings fit this category so set yourself apart."

Thirdly, if one is selling an immaculate and repair-free home, they should consider basic decorator items like paint, carpet, refinishing existing hardwood floors, etc. This will also add more value than their cost, in most cases, and the value of decorator items will be greatly amplified when the home is extremely clean and all repairs are completed. Barru's listing service includes a free consultation with a professional home decorator/stager to help with color choices and design ideas. The synergy of properly executing these three home preparation categories can add many times more than they cost.

"You can often add tens of thousands of dollars to a mid-priced home in our market. Notice that I make no mention of major projects. There are definitely times when big improvements are worthwhile so please consult an experienced real estate professional about your specific situation," concluded Barru. "However, the lower-cost items mentioned above apply to virtually every home in every market condition and will give you the biggest 'bang for your buck.'" Read here.
