Celebrating largest-ever holiday fragrance launch with social sharing campaign and first-ever TikTok filter 

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Radiant, rich and luxe are three words Bath & Body Works customers are using to describe its newest fragrance, Luminous, which officially launches in stores nationwide and online today. According to a Bath & Body Works survey, 77% of consumers love getting complimented on the scent they wear though 83% say they wear a fragrance for themselves rather than to impress others. So, for the launch of Luminous, the retailer is tapping into the power of fragrance and calling for customers to “share their shine” and show how this new fragrance makes them feel luminous from the inside out.

We’re excited to meet customers where they are through a social-first campaign

With a purpose to make the world a brighter, happier place through the power of fragrance, Bath & Body Works is encouraging customers to let their radiance shine with its ‘Share Your Shine’ campaign. By using #ShareYourShine and tagging @bathandbodyworks, customers can share how the fragrance makes them feel luminous. To encourage even more engagement, the retailer is introducing its first ever branded effect on TikTok with a randomizer effect that reveals what makes the user feel luminous.

“Our customers view scent and fragrance as part of their identity, so by bringing an elevated yet accessible product to a passionate community, we have all the makings of a sharing and engagement campaign that celebrates our customers and is anchored in empowerment,” said Jamie Sohosky, Chief Marketing Officer at Bath & Body Works. “We’re excited to meet customers where they are through a social-first campaign packed with innovative product storytelling, influencer collaborations and our first-ever TikTok effect that brings the immersive and radiant experience to life for that highly-engaged TikTok user.”

As the newest addition to Bath & Body Works’ prestigious and extensive fine fragrance portfolio, Luminous was created to celebrate the holiday season and beyond — to make every day and night feel like a special occasion. The renowned fragrance retailer, who collaborates with world-class perfumers, partnered with master perfumer, David Apel, to bring the inspiration to life through the creation of the fragrance.

“For me, Luminous is a joyful celebration of modern femininity. The fragrance is brilliant yet sensual and exquisitely nuanced with an air of addiction,” said David Apel, Senior Perfumer at Symrise. “The ingredients selected were very intentional — I wanted to give the fragrance a multidimensional signature with warmth, levity, elegance and most importantly, power and trail. Luminous moves with you and is a manifestation of what inspires you to live authentically and fully.”

Luminous blends three luxe fragrance notes for a rich decadence, warmth and sweetness. Ruby currant is a new and on-trend take on the dark red berry note; gilded iris is an in-demand luxurious ingredient; and praline amber provides a warm, gourmand note of the fragrance that leaves a lasting trail.

As Bath & Body Works’ largest holiday fragrance launch ever, Luminous is available in 30 products ranging from $1.95 to $59.95, making it an affordable luxury for many. Customers will find new and innovative products like a Dual-Ended Perfume Rollerball and Lip Gloss in addition to products the brand is known for like Eau de Parfum, Moisturizing Body Wash and Body Cream. The luxurious fragrance with on-trend, vanity-worthy packaging is perfect for those starting their gift shopping or those looking to refresh their fragrance for the season.

SpeedBuilder Systems Celebrates 25 Years of Building Technology and Lasting Relationships in the P&C Insurance Industry

Published

on

By

From its beginnings with a rating solution to an integrated insurance platform, SpeedBuilder Systems marks a quarter-century of helping insurers adapt, innovate, and grow.

COLUMBIA, S.C., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SpeedBuilder Systems, Inc. (SBS), an award-winning provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry, is celebrating its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of delivering flexible insurance technology and building long-term relationships with its clients.

Founded on October 10, 2001, by Rod Giess, president of SpeedBuilder Systems, the company began with a vision and a rating solution designed to help insurers bring products to market more efficiently.

“When I started SpeedBuilder Systems, my goal wasn’t to be the biggest. It was simply to be the best at delivering quality technology that would help our clients get to market as quickly as possible,” said Giess. “I believed then, as I do today, that innovative insurance companies deserve access to sophisticated technology, regardless of their size.”

As the business developed, Giess recognized the need for a policy administration system to complement the company’s rating solution. What began as two complementary capabilities has grown into the BindExpress Suite, an integrated insurance platform supporting policy administration, rating, underwriting, billing, claims, and other core insurance operations. Designed for small to medium-sized property and casualty insurers and managing general agents (MGAs), the platform provides the flexibility to accommodate unique business requirements while supporting growth and changing market demands.

Throughout its history, SBS has maintained a consistent philosophy: technology should support an insurer’s business objectives rather than dictate how the organization operates. That approach is reflected in the company’s commitment to configurable software, long-term technology planning, and close collaboration with its clients.

“I’m very proud of how far this company has come, but what means the most to me are the relationships we’ve built along the way,” Giess continued. “Our clients have trusted us with an important part of their businesses, and we’ve never taken that responsibility lightly. I’m grateful to our clients for their continued partnership and to our team, past and present, whose dedication and hard work have brought us to this milestone.”

As SpeedBuilder Systems looks ahead, the company remains committed to helping insurers adapt to an evolving industry while maintaining greater control over their technology and business operations. The company will continue investing in its technology, strengthening client relationships, and supporting insurers as they pursue new opportunities.

About SpeedBuilder Systems

Founded in 2001, SpeedBuilder Systems, Inc. provides enterprise-class insurance software solutions for small and medium-sized property and casualty insurers and MGAs. Its BindExpress Suite® is an integrated set of components including policy administration, rating, automated underwriting, agent and consumer portals, product configuration, billing, claims, automated workflow, and document generation. The company’s AlwaysCurrent Architecture™ enables customers to tailor the system to their unique requirements while adopting future product enhancements without costly retrofitting of customized code.
