Pinnacle Packaging Debuts New Website To Help Businesses Grow To The Next Level

Pinnacle Packaging, a Chicagoland-based distributor of packaging, shipping and industrial supplies to companies throughout North America, recently unveiled a new website reflecting a new look and change in ownership.

Since 1987, the company's goal overall is providing excellent customer service to clientele in the furniture, retail and technology industries by offering shipping supplies, display presentation boxes and custom logo shipping boxes. Nicole DeJoris, who took over as president of Pinnacle Packaging from her late brother and founder Chris DeJoris in 2019, believes the new website will present a personal view of company as well as its services.

"This website will give my current and future clients the ability to get to know who we are," she said. "I think that's very important. I feel the current design will bring us into the present."

The easy to navigate website lets visitors know of the team, testimonials, the types of custom packaging available and its commitment to being an eco-friendly company. Seeing how other companies do business, Nicole DeJoris wants to add an e-commerce element into the mix.

"We're here to help e-commerce businesses grow as well," she said. "My manufacturing clients are also trying to launch product lines that they could sell both products online as well. Currently, most of my clients place orders with me because we don't have the capability for them to go online and place an order like on Amazon. It's all either via email or over the phone or in person. In the near future, I want to cater to the e-commerce type of business."

Brilliant Introduces the World’s First Mainstream Built-in Smart Home and Lighting Control System

Brilliant, maker of the award-winning Brilliant Smart Home Control, today announced its expansion into whole-home smart lighting with two new products: the Brilliant Smart Dimmer Switch and Brilliant Smart Plug. The Brilliant Smart Dimmer Switch unlocks the ability for homeowners and homebuilders to affordably add high-end smart lighting to any room or throughout an entire home. With one-touch dimming, motion sensing, and scene control built in, Brilliant's new Smart Dimmer Switch is also controllable by voice through Alexa and Google Assistant and remotely via the all-in-one Brilliant Smart Home app. The Brilliant Smart Plug makes lamps and other plug-in devices smart, with touch, voice, and app control. Combined with the Brilliant Smart Home Control, these new products now enable Brilliant to offer the world's first mainstream built-in smart home and lighting control system that can be easily installed in both new and existing homes.

"Before Brilliant, an integrated whole-home smart home and lighting system meant either spending tens of thousands of dollars on an inflexible home automation system, or piecing together a jumble of disparate devices and apps," said Aaron Emigh, Co-Founder and CEO of Brilliant. "With our new smart switch and plug in combination with the Brilliant Control, we are realizing our mission to make it possible for every homeowner to experience the comfort, energy efficiency, safety, and convenience of living in a true smart home."

Over five years of research and design, Brilliant has worked to seamlessly integrate technology into the daily life of every homeowner. With motion enablement and integration into the Brilliant Smart Home System, the Brilliant Smart Dimmer Switch is a game-changer for the smart lighting and control space, turning regular lights into smart lights and bringing intuitive control to smart bulbs. This combination of capabilities and affordable price point enables the highest end lighting control on the market to be deployed throughout homes of every kind and democratizes the market for complete home smart lighting and control.

The new Brilliant Dimmer Switch and Smart Plug build on Brilliant's industry-leading form and function by continuing to push the boundaries of materials, manufacturing, and technology to the next level. The Brilliant Smart Dimmer Switch incorporates the clean design aesthetics of the award-winning Brilliant Control into a standard Decora form, easily replacing existing light switches. Finger-width touch grooves for dimmer controls invite a more intuitive user interaction, while also providing the convenience of tap-anywhere on/off functionality. Every Dimmer Switch also includes a built-in motion sensor and double-tap feature to activate a scene. This enables smart lighting to be deployed throughout the entire home, with control capabilities built directly into the walls and accessible by touch, voice, motion, and automated scenes, and remotely via app. Brilliant's smart home products can be added to any room easily, and set up in minutes, with no new home wiring required. This reduces installation complexity and makes it perfect for DIYers, renovations, remodels, renters and late decision upgrades, as well as traditional whole-home installations. Brilliant has combined all forms of interaction – touch, voice, and motion control – into a learning system that anyone can install, making smart home functionality easy to use and accessible to all. Click here to read the latest news.

Key benefits of the Brilliant Smart Dimmer Switch:

● Easy to Install: Installs like a traditional light switch using standard electrical wiring. No custom wiring, hub, or batteries required.
● Makes lighting smart: Provides the ability to control any lighting fixture via touch, voice, motion, scenes, or with Brilliant's all-in-one app.
● Simple voice control: Use Alexa, Google Assistant, or HomeKit to control your lights hands-free.
● Makes smart bulbs smarter: Brings traditional wall switch control to Philips Hue, LIFX, TP-Link, and more — use light switches that control smart bulbs without losing smart bulb connectivity when switches are off.
● Capacitive touch dimming: Use the touch slider to adjust the brightness of any dimmable light or tap anywhere on the switch to turn lights on and off.
● Motion detection: Automatically turn on the lights when someone enters a room and turn them off when a room is unoccupied. Or create pathway lighting triggers to turn on lights ahead of you as you move throughout your home.
● Home automation and scene control: Double-tap anywhere on the switch to trigger a smart home or lighting scene that combines control of multiple devices: lights, music, climate, and more.
● Affordability: Brilliant's smart lighting and home control system is a fraction of the cost of comparable high-end smart home, lighting, and home automation systems.

Key benefits of the Brilliant Smart Home System:

● Unified control: Brilliant unifies all your favorite smart home devices and makes them easily accessible through a touchscreen control panel on your wall or a single app.
● Easy for everyone: Spouses, kids, family, friends, and guests can easily use all your smart home devices. Brilliant lets you choose the best way to interact with your home in every situation: touch, voice, motion, or an all-in-one app.
● Affordability: Brilliant brings mass-market affordability to high-end smart home and lighting control, making it feasible for every homeowner and every home builder to make their homes inherently smart with built-in controls, sensors, and smart devices.

The Brilliant Smart Dimmer Switch ships in Q1 2020 and is available for pre-order on January 5th, 2020 at http://www.brilliant.tech for $69.99 for a single and as low as $59.99 in various bundle packs.

Today’s Inspired Latina Releases Today’s Inspired Young Latina In National Book Launch

Several young Hispanic women showcased their gratitude and joy as proud first-time authors as they and Jacqueline S. Ruiz, the creator of the international Today's Inspired Latina (TIL) book series, launched the book debut of "Today's Inspired Young Latina" in front of friends and family.

The festive event recently took place at J. C. Restoration, a premier Hispanic-owned restoration company in Rolling Meadows. Written by Ruiz and Alexandria Rios Taylor with a preface by acclaimed Hispanic actor Edward James Olmos, the book details stories of young Latinas overcoming obstacles and creating their own opportunities, as they become part of a dynamic and inspirational generation in American society.

"Today is another amazing representation of what it means to believe in a dream that is bigger than all of us," said Ruiz, one of the book's co-authors. "And today we have the privilege of elevating 14 young Latinas that reached out to us. They believe in something. They wowed us with their presentations that captivated our hearts and minds."

The contributing authors in the book are: Evelyn Lozano, Alondra Ivette Guevara, Arianna Urrutia, Gina Aridal Pardino, Giselle Gonzalez, Andrea Vallejo, Samantha Ante, Maria Clara Ospina, Daniela Limon, Yahayra Argueta, Erica Franco, Gabrielle Hernández Franch, Evelyn Lonzano, Scarlett Magaña-Singh.

Ruiz explained that the idea about getting young Latinas to share their stories came from TIL author Elizabeth Colón-Rivera. From then the seed was planted to premiere the first ever Young LATINATalks at Naperville's North Central College in September. A natural extension was to then capture these stories in an anthology book.

Hernández Franch, one of the book's authors, wrote about her initial dreams of becoming a doctor. Life and God had other plans for her. Becoming a contributor was as an amazing journey for her.

"People say that there are three things that change your life," she said. "It's the people you meet, the events you attend and the books that you've read have the power to change your life. And I'm here at this stage, at this incredible event with the right people holding the right book."

Taylor, also the dean of students at Glenbard West High School in Glen Ellyn, would have appreciated a book like this when she was a teenager. Unfortunately, there were not many inspirational stories to find. She hopes that will change with this new book.

"When I was in high school, there was very little representation of Latino authorship," she said. "There were very few stories that I could identify with or relate to culturally. These ladies are changing that narrative and unleashing the endless possibilities for their generation."

Today's Young Inspired Latina is available on Amazon for $14.97.

Garden Media Moves to the Next Level with New President

The mother-daughter duo of Suzi McCoy and Katie Dubow are well known in the horticultural industry. From representing first-class clients to speaking on the latest gardening trends, the two have built the PA based Garden Media Group into the top marketing firm in the garden industry.

"Today we celebrate a huge milestone for us both. I am so proud and excited to announce that Katie is taking over as the owner and president of the company that I started years ago," said founder Suzi McCoy. "She is more than capable as she has had a major role in shaping the company's vision, development and strategy over the past nine years. I know she will exceed my expectations as she leads Garden Media into the next decade."

Katie is taking over a business Suzi started as IMPACT Marketing in 1987.

"For 33 years my mom has served the industry. She is a true leader and game-changer with a well-deserved reputation as a creative, strategic thinker able to fast-track any brand to success, from the Knock Out Rose to Costa Farm's O2 for You," said Katie.

"She has been instrumental in strengthening our industry across the globe, launching new plants and products, and spotting and creating garden trends. Her reputation and business relationships formed over these years are what have kept us going. And her media tours and parties are legendary," said Katie. "I have big, 'pink' shoes to fill."

According to Suzi, Katie has been walking in those shoes for years. She was the firm's first employee when she was only in kindergarten. Katie grew up helping in the office, mailing press releases and answering phones. She worked as an intern out of college before moving to New York City to work for CBS television.

Since joining the company full time in 2011, Katie's responsibilities expanded at Garden Media, where she has served as creative director, marketing strategist and enthusiastic speaker. Katie has been responsible for developing new business relationships, building brands for the most respected companies in the home and garden industry, and managing PR campaigns for a variety of national and international clients. Read all the related news.

She's also honed her skills as a global garden-trend authority by taking the lead on Garden Media's Annual Garden Trends Report and presenting to audiences around the world.

And the industry has taken notice. Katie was named GardenComm's first Emergent Communicator in 2016 and to GPN's 40 Under 40 Class in 2017. She continues in her mother's footsteps serving the industry as a member of the board of the Pennsylvania Nursery and Landscape Association and on the marketing committee of the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge.

Before joining Garden Media in 2011, Katie held positions as a marketing manager for Liz Claiborne, Inc. and a technical production manager at CBS in New York. A 2004 Northeastern University graduate, she has spent most of her career learning the ins and outs of brand management.

Katie said she is focused on growing Garden Media to the next level by exceeding client expectations, being a leader in the industry, and providing a progressive workplace.

"Suzi and I both are grateful to our wonderful staff, some who have been here for decades, who made this succession seamless," said Katie. "We will work together to continue in my mother's legacy and help fulfill our clients' dreams, exceed expectations, and grow the industry for all."

Suzi will stay on as an advisor, continuing to mentor Katie. Her new "job" will be spending time with her husband and grandchildren, traveling, painting, playing golf, volunteering, and reading to dogs at the Humane Society.

"As we enter 2020, Garden Media cheers a new decade of change and a new owner, and I am very proud to hand over the reins to my daughter – a smart, strong female and a very capable business person," Suzi said. "I'm eager to see where she takes 'my baby' in the future."

Want to be see big changes in 2020? Contact Katie Dubow at katie@gardenmediagroup.com or call her at 610-444-3040.

LEAP is World’s Smallest Global Tracker

Innowave (https://www.innowave.co/), a leader in IoT design, miniaturization and certification, today presented the newest satellite connectivity technology of its LEAP miniature trackers — the world's smallest — suitable for enterprise, commercial and personal use. Also on hand was the LEAP LTE Cat-M1 and NB-IoT, the world's smallest cellular tracker. Innowave, which has signed a distribution deal with Grace Digital, and will be launching its Kickstarter campaign after CES, is at booth 53161 in Eureka Park, Hall G, in the Sands Expo, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nev.

Protected by 10 U.S. patents, LEAP is an autonomous, location-aware, anytime-anywhere compact wearable with four distinct programmable personalities. Innowave's patented CASA™ architecture for ultra-low power operation yields battery life that can last for months. Compatible with Android and iOS, it features dual connectivity ability. LEAP-Cellular utilizes low-power LTE roaming based on signal strength and is already 5G ready. If the user is out of cellular range, LEAP-Satellite is the device to choose, using a network of low Earth orbit, L-band satellites to ensure connectivity, no matter how remote the location.

"We wanted to design consumer products that could be useful and improve people's lives," said co-founder Dr. Pragash Sangaran. "This required smaller, smarter, lighter, less expensive technology to be developed. This opens the door for new use cases and applications for the product. We specialize in miniaturizing circuits, antennas and products, designing products with longer battery life, and in producing co-located, multi-technology wireless devices that meet stringent regulatory requirements. In short, we are the team which does the impossible."

Out-of-the-box functionality includes four preset personalities in the basic app. "GEOFENCE" sends out a message and location whenever LEAP has entered or left a specific area. Use-case examples include an escaped pet with a LEAP device attached to its collar, a tagged animal going into or out of a wildlife sanctuary, or an Alzheimer's disease sufferer wandering away from a home or care facility. "PROXIMITY" works in conjunction with other IoT devices, such as smartphones. Attach LEAP to keys, purse or backpack and it alerts the user when he or she gets too far away.

"ACTIVITY" lets LEAP sense any motion, including acceleration, and even senses low-level vibrations. Use-case examples include LEAP attached to a remote machine sending a signal if the equipment fails, LEAP attached to a vehicle and sending a signal if it starts moving without being in range of the owner's smartphone, or even sending a signal when the vehicle hasn't moved for a while, such as a parked car in a large lot or garage. The final personality, "A-OK," sends out a message or other data from a Bluetooth-connected device to LEAP and then to any network-connected device, even without cell reception. Take LEAP when hiking, driving offroad or sailing (both LEAPs have waterproof ratings of IP67), and never go missing again. LEAP also can be programmed by third -party apps using their various personalities.

"We started with satellite technology and improved upon a large-form-factor satellite transmitter," said co-founder and entrepreneur Kenneth Margon. "Once we built the prototype, we went back to the satellite company and demonstrated it because we needed access to their satellite constellation. We decided to provide the full platform and concentrate on low-cost, small-data plans in the order of megabytes, not gigabytes, since IoT devices don't need the high speed and large data transfer capabilities which are only needed for streaming content."

A lifelong inventor, Margon has registered more than 70 patents, ranging from location-based services to over-the-air protocols, which have been cited more than 700 times in other patents. Founder and CTO of Embedded Wireless Labs, he has incubated numerous companies, including taking one, Cape Range Wireless, public. Business partner Sangaran holds a PhD in radio frequency and microwave engineering.

Both the satellite and cellular LEAPs are scheduled to be in the marketplace in Q2 2020. For more information, including information about third-party app development, visit Innowave at booth 53161 in Eureka Park, Hall G, in the Sands Expo, online at https://www.innowave.co or call 510-866-7283.
