Alteryx & Tableau CRO veteran Scott Jones joins as Exec Chair; Marge Breya moves up to President; David Gai becomes COO

AUSTIN, Texas, June 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today at the Forrester B2B Summit, Leadspace, the leading B2B revenue automation company, announced Revenue Radar.  Revenue Radar is the industry’s first revenue navigation system to use multi-signal AI targeting to map the fastest route to revenue.  Sales and marketing teams can now minimize spend and maximize revenue by proactively targeting the accounts and people with the highest likelihood to buy.  Leadspace^TM also appointed Scott Jones, Marge Breya and David Gai as its new executive team to accelerate innovation and seize category leadership.  The moves are intended to fuel the company’s next stage of growth in revenue automation, one of the hottest revenue AI markets. 

“We are delighted to welcome Scott Jones as our executive chairman, Marge Breya as our new president, and David Gai as COO,” said Erel Margalit, Chairman of JVP and Leadspace. “As veterans in the AI/BI space, this team of experts are in a truly great position to spearhead the Leadspace Drive platform and revolutionize the world of revenue generation from an art to a science. Leadspace identifies your most relevant customers, the profile of the people that can buy your product and the buying team around them. Its revenue AI produces the best roadmap to reach your next quarter, or next year’s revenue growth. It’s all about targeting the relevant customers and the relevant people in the right organizations.”

Revenue Radar.  The quickest route to Revenue.
“More than 5 million sales people and $25B of marketing programs are aimed at driving B2B revenue – and they need a map,” stated Marge Breya, President of Leadspace. “Google Maps revolutionized the way we travel efficiently every day.  Revenue Radar and our four-signal AI targeting is the revenue navigation system that will change the game in revenue generation.” 

Revenue Radar^TM applies four-signal AI targeting to narrow the target by focusing on companies with a 2X, 6X or even 12X chance of closing.  As a result, sales and marketing teams understand exactly which accounts are likely to buy their product, who are the best contacts within those accounts, and who is showing interest and timing this week or month. While basic or advanced profiling tools populate profiles with various types of firmographics and technographics such as company revenue, size, industry, sub-industry, region ownership, website and installed base technologies, Revenue Radar analyzes them as buying signals to generate algorithmic insights so sales and marketing can focus on closeable business. Available in the Leadspace Studio or integrated into popular CRM systems like Salesforce and Marketo, Revenue Radar makes campaign targeting easy with buying propensity, intent, persona and engagement signals.

The Leadspace Drive Platform takes revenue operations across sales and marketing to the next level by determining which buying centers, accounts and people to focus on based on likelihood to buy. As a result, Sales operational teams can create equitable territories and account plans based on TAM (Total Addressable Market) opportunity profiling. Marketing teams can create intelligent ABM campaign segments tuned by territory and activated across the most popular digital platforms. HG Insights cites that, “Companies that purchased AI-assisted sales tools to improve their customer experience—and their revenue operations—saw the greatest new revenue lift, while slow adopters suffered as a result.”

2023 Fast Company Most Innovative Company will partner with clients on emerging tech including AI, NFTs, Web3, and pioneer breakthrough platforms and content 

NEW YORK and PORTLAND, Ore., June 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Stagwell’s (NASDAQ: STGW) Instrument – a multidisciplinary creative company that redefines brands and experiences – today announced the launch of two new core service offerings: content innovation and experience innovation, led by Paul Welch and Mike Creighton, executive directors at Instrument, respectively. These units will work with existing and prospective clients to unleash innovation at scale across partners’ content, digital experiences, and technology infrastructure.

The newly launched disciplines fuse full-funnel brand marketing strategy with the cutting edge of technology and content innovation:

Experience Innovation, led by Mike Creighton, Executive Director at Instrument, works to weave emerging technologies through all of Instrument’s offerings, helping its partners across every sector avoid riding hype cycles on emerging technology and effectively experiment with trends like artificial intelligence (AI), web3, the metaverse, gaming, and XR to find the innovation that sustains long term growth. Learn how Instrument’s experience innovation disciplines is helping clients responsibly integrate generative AI here. 

“Brands are ecosystems which interact with people millions of times every day: emerging technology reveals new opportunities for brands to engage with consumers by creating new experiences on nascent channels, media, and capabilities,” said Mike Creighton. “AI, web3, the metaverse, gaming, XR — they all represent potential opportunities. To navigate them and find what’s right for our clients, we avoid riding hype cycles. We make certain that “yes” is the answer to these three questions: Is it appropriate for the brand? Does it provide value to the consumer? Is it a growth opportunity for the company? It’s about going beyond what’s working now and always considering what’s coming next.”

Content Innovation, led by Paul Welch, Executive Director at Instrument, develops new methods and tactics to produce authentic stories across all platforms. That involves making content that sometimes looks different than a traditional production or maximizing every shoot to capture content at that can be leveraged across multiple brand touchpoints, as seen in the work Instrument conducted for Nike to create a five-episode series, “Ultra Sound,” to serve Black mothers on the ultramarathon that is pregnancy. View that work here.

“At Instrument, we always try to be one step ahead, and what we’re launching now is something we’ve prototyped and tested for quite a while: a content production agency that’s born out of digital behaviors,” said Paul Welch. “Brands have a massive ecosystem to fill at a speed that’s difficult to sustain, but their teams and budgets are often still operating in a traditional commercial model. We are the solution to this.”

Instrument’s new service offerings interact with and complement its four award-winning centers of excellence: Creative, Production, Technology and Strategy. In 2023, Fast Company crowned the agency one of the world’s Most Innovative Companies in The World for its work on behalf of the Eames Institute and BankBlackUSA, and in 2022 it was honored across three categories in Fast Company’s Innovation by Design awards.

OLEAN, N.Y. — The current Tri-County Arts Council exhibit, “Haudenosaunee, Art of the Now” “Survive, Alive, Thrive,” featuring the works from culminating show for Seneca-Iroquois National Museum’s artist in residency program funded by the Appalachian Regional Commission’s Area Development fund. Artists in the residency program include Samantha Jacobs, Lorinda John, Penelope S. Minner, Alicia Sanford, Antoinette Scott, Bernadette Scott, Kristina Tome, and Leeora White.

In late summer of 2021 Appalachian Regional Commission Area Development with Southern Tier West grant funding came through for the Pathways to Success: Artist in Residency (AiR) Program at Seneca Iroquois National Museum. A call out for indigenous artists to apply went out in October 2021. Eight artists heeded the call from both Cattaraugus and Allegany territories. Their talents ranged from making corn husk dolls and weaving to painting and sewing. Each AiRs received a modest stipend to participate in a variety of activities that would inspire them to create a piece of art that they would donate to the museum. This show at Tri County Arts is an acknowledgement of the challenges met during this time, but more importantly a celebration of the successes of overcoming obstacles and the creativity that arose as a result.

Their talents ranged from making corn husk dolls and weaving to painting and sewing. Each AiRs received a modest stipend to participate in a variety of activities that would inspire them to create a piece of art that they would donate to the museum. This show at TriCounty Arts is an acknowledgement of the challenges met during this time, but more importantly a celebration of the successes of overcoming obstacles and the creativity that arose as a result.

All the activities took place during the Covid 19 Pandemic, which everyone met with resilience. Participants made the best of a tough situation and each AiR took part in virtual, live, and hybrid professional development workshops with partners in the program. John Sheehan from Seneca Salamanca Chamber of Commerce presented the first workshop on how to be the best salesperson. He also gave the artists his secret FORM (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Money) equation for building successful sales relationships. Fred Frigthner, Director of Marketing Communications at W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery did two separate workshops on telling stories about products along with a writing workshop. Picking up from there, Tom Cullen led the AiRs in a discussion on “recognizing and identifying your audience in order to attract your dream customer.” At Tri County Arts Council Director Emeritus Mikel Wintermantle and Artist Educator Allison Braun did a hands-on workshop focused on displaying and photographing art. Artists got to play with light boxes and learn all about the power of their cellphones to make their work pop! Hayden Hanes brought the previous topics together and presented on photographing your work and how to tell your story. Brian Kelly hosted a Creating and editing websites Workshop at The Hub in Olean. Sharon Louden, the former director for Chautauqua Visual Arts presented a virtual talk on making a living as a working artist, which covered grants, fellowships, arts markets, and commissions. The artists also participated in several arts markets arranged at the museum and they took a trip to K-Art in Buffalo and participated in a Q and A about fine arts galleries with the gallery managers.

In addition to forming new relationships between Seneca Iroquois National Museum and organizations in Olean and Allegany Village, and supporting the creative economies, the final piece to the Pathways to Success program is the mini-gallery boxes. This was an idea inspired by the mini-libraries that have been popping up in communities and neighborhoods across the United States. The idea behind the mini-galleries was to place art and the institution within the communities to make the exhibits accessible and give people a taste of what they will find in the museum. Seneca Nation Arts and Cultural Placed Based Tourism Initiative is an example of a cost-effective foundation for a continued partnership and project to create permanent resources that will benefit all partners.

Funds were used to create these permanent place-based displays, which encourages cultural exploration of the region. These Mini Galleries capitalized on partnerships and lessons learned from the workshops. Additionally, the hope is that the Mini Galleries will be a replicable model that other museums and cultural institutions can use, helping to further promote SINM. The Seneca Nation’s Training and Employment Resource Center’s construction training program led by Jim Ray, created the Mini Galleries using their students and instructors. This program provided hands-on “trades/construction” training to displaced, underemployed, and/or disabled Indigenous peoples. The SINM, because of their integral role in fostering cultural programming as a practice of maintaining cultural continuation, has served and continues to serve as an excellent hub for all community partners to work through. Since participating in the Pathways to Success program half of the AiRs received funding through Creatives Rebuild New York fellowship and are fully employed as working artists with tools and skills to carry them through the end of the program in 2024.

The opening reception was catered by Chef Lorinda John from LoMade Meals and beverages provided by an anonymous donor.

Art Industry News is a daily digest of the most consequential developments coming out of the art world and art market. Here’s what you need to know on this Monday, June 5.

NEED-TO-READ

Hans Peter Feldmann Dies at 82 – The news was jointly announced by the eight galleries he had worked with. The German conceptual artist’s works made out of his archive of seemingly banal pictures were considered by some critics as predecessors of appropriation art in the 1980s. He became the oldest winner of the Guggenheim Museum’s Hugo Boss Prize in 2011. (ARTnews)

Ownership of the Benin Bronzes Gets Complicated – Institutions in the West that agreed to return the treasures looted from the Kingdom of Benin palace by the British troops in 1897 are demanding clarification about who will own the bronzes after it was announced that the oba, the direct descendent of the Benin kingdom, would be the sole owner of the restituted treasures, rather than the state or the trust that oversees the development of the new Edo Museum of West African Art. The decision could be challenged by Nigerian officials under the newly elected president Bola Tinubu, who took office last Monday. Cambridge University has postponed its handover ceremony of 116 bronzes until clarity is gained. (New York Times)

Barbie Movie Causes Shortage of Pink Paint – Sarah Greenwood, production designer of the upcoming screen adaptation of the world’s famous doll franchise, told Architectural Digest that building the sets caused a global shortage of the Rosco fluorescent pink paint. But Rosco’s global marketing VP, Lauren Proud, clarified that there had already been a supply shortage due to logistical issues relating to the pandemic. “And then we gave them everything we could,” Proud said. (Vulture)

Oscar Murillo on How Painting Is Like Winemaking – The 37-year-old artist dubbed “the 21st-century Basquiat” said the making of his new work, Manifestations 2020-2022, on show at Gagosian, was like “making really good wine, it takes years.” The artist took his time to make art while living in his native Colombia during lockdown. (Observer)

MOVERS & SHAKERS

Rijksmuseum’s Vermeer Show Attendance – The Amsterdam institution has welcomed 650,000 visitors from 113 nations over the course of 16 weeks to its Vermeer exhibition, the most successful since the museum was founded more than two centuries ago. The show ended on Sunday but six of the 28 paintings featured at the exhibition remain on view at the museum. (Press release)

Angela Cassie Leaves Post at National Gallery of Canada – Cassie leaves for another yet to be announced leadership position in Manitoba after one year as the National Gallery of Canada’s interim director and CEO. (Artforum)

Woody De Othello Joins Stephen Friedman – The London gallery is jointly representing the 1991-born artist with Jessica Silverman Gallery and Karma. (Press release)

FOR ARTS SAKE

Philharmonia Orchestra Serenades in a London Parking Garage – The orchestra opened the 2023 season on Saturday with The Planets by Gustav Holst, a piece composed for a 95-member orchestra and chorus in a parking garage in Peckham that is now home to Bold Tendencies as part of London Gallery Weekend.
