The list highlights dynamic young women who are making significant contributions to their communities and industries

FREDERICK, Md., Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Cause Fokus is proud to announce that its Founder and CEO, Brynne Krispin, has been recognized by The Daily Record as one of this year’s Leading Women Under 40. This prestigious award highlights dynamic young women who are making significant contributions to their communities and industries, excelling in their professions, and setting an example for the next generation of leaders.

“This recognition reflects the hard work and passion I have for supporting leaders who are making a difference in the world.” – Brynne Krispin, Founder and CEO, Cause Fokus

Brynne Krispin’s recognition is a testament to her dedication to empowering social impact organizations through Cause Fokus, a social media agency specializing in thought leadership and personal branding for purpose-driven executives.

In just one year, Krispin’s unwavering dedication and strategic acumen propelled Cause Fokusto unprecedented heights. Under her guidance, the agency experienced extraordinary growth, expanding its revenue by 238%.
Furthermore, Krispin’s commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment has been evident in her efforts to expand her remote team from 2 to 10 members. Knowing the social media industry has one of the [highest burnout rates, she remains committed to building a culture where innovation, curiosity, and work-life balance flourish.

Krispin’s impact extends far beyond the realm of business. As a single parent and active member of her community in Frederick, MD, she “embodies the values of compassion, empathy, and social responsibility,” according to the Leading Women Under 40 award.

In addition to her professional endeavors, Krispin generously volunteers her time and expertise, serving on the board of the Friends of the Child Advocacy Center and is a member of the Frederick Key City Rotary Club, Walkersville Business & Professional Association, and Washington Women in PR. Her dedication to giving back underscores her deep-rooted commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

“I am incredibly humbled and honored to be included in this group of inspiring women,” said Krispin. “This recognition reflects the hard work and passion I have for supporting leaders who are making a difference in the world. I believe that telling their stories with empathy and compassion can truly transform how we drive change, and I’m grateful to be part of that journey.”

The Daily Record’s Leading Women Under 40 award recognizes not only professional achievements but also dedication to community involvement and mentorship. Krispin’s work with Cause Fokus is deeply aligned with these values, as the agency continues to provide essential support to leaders in the nonprofit and social impact sectors.

While working as a social media manager at International Justice Mission in Washington, DC, Krispin started noticing this trend: the social media campaigns that integrated a personal account in addition to the brand’s social accounts produced the highest results. “People want to connect with people, not a logo,” Krispin said.

Following a mix of instincts and data, Krispin began testing and experimenting with social media strategies that leverage the influence and credibility of individuals rather than just a company’s brand.

“With the rise of thought leadership and the importance of building an executive presence online, it became clear that the more we tapped into an individual’s expertise – their stories, perspectives, and experience – the faster we saw audience growth, engagement, and brand loyalty increase.

“As we enter into a new era of AI, deep fakes, and feeling overwhelmed by the options that are available to us online, the more we’re seeing people crave real, authentic human connection with leaders they know and trust. This isn’t a trend that’s going away – it’s the future of social media,” Krispin said.

Cause Fokus was also honored as one of DC’s Top 10 Best New Advertising Startup Revolutionizing the US Market by BestStartUp.com in January 2024.
Since its founding in 2022, Cause Fokus has helped hundreds of leaders in the social impact sector build their online presence, amplify their voices, and elevate their impact in the communities they serve.

April 23, 2026

GUANGZHOU, China, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 139th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) has further optimized its exhibition landscape with nine new dedicated product zones, reflecting ongoing structural shifts in global trade and the continued upgrading of China’s export portfolio.

Among the most closely watched additions in Phase 1 are the consumer and agricultural drone zones, both making their debut at the Canton Fair and offering a focused showcase of applications in the low‑altitude economy. The consumer drone zone showcases progress in flight control, AI‑based obstacle avoidance and energy efficiency across imaging, tourism, emergency response and patrol. The agricultural drone zone highlights precision farming, with spraying, seeding and field‑management demonstrations showing terrain‑following, intelligent route planning, and precise payload control.

On day one, a Shandong‑based drone manufacturer welcomed buyers from 30+ countries, with over 50 strong leads. One buyer, after seeing load and wind‑resistance demonstrations, immediately confirmed three sample units and even proposed becoming a regional distributor.

Display technology is another focal point of Phase 1, highlighting advances in color accuracy, energy efficiency, and overall visual performance. Developments in fine‑grained control, expanded color gamut, and reduced power consumption point to a clear trend toward immersive viewing experiences combined with sustainability gains.

The smart wearables zone underscores how intelligent devices are becoming key interfaces for human‑machine interaction. From real‑time language translation and adaptive noise cancellation to long‑term health monitoring and AI‑enabled eyewear, wearables are evolving from standalone products into integrated systems that support communication, well‑being, and productivity across daily and professional settings.

The service robots zone further illustrates how artificial intelligence is moving from conceptual exploration to large‑scale deployment. Advanced robots showcased across industrial, commercial, medical, and public‑service scenarios demonstrate growing autonomy, multi‑sensory perception, and closer human-robot collaboration.

By bringing emerging technologies into clearer focus through dedicated zones, the 139th Canton Fair is reinforcing its function as a platform where trade trends take shape, innovation meets application, and global buyers gain early insights into cutting-edge technologies.

By combining structured clinical intelligence with AI-driven portfolio planning, the partnership gives pharmaceutical teams a faster, clearer way to make high-stakes R&D decisions

SPRING LAKE HEIGHTS, N.J., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OZMOSI, a leading provider of structured pharmaceutical development intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership with Planview, the leading AI-powered end-to-end platform for Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) and Digital Product Delivery (DPD).

By integrating OZMOSI’s machine-readable clinical datasets directly into Planview’s AI-driven portfolio planning platform, external scientific data is now connected to internal R&D planning in one system, helping pharmaceutical organizations better predict market shifts, prioritize R&D investments, and make faster, more confident decisions.

This integration brings external clinical reality into internal R&D decision-making, so teams can plan based on what’s actually happening, not just on what they hope will happen.

The two organizations combine deep expertise in complementary areas, united by a shared focus on improving the quality and usability of data for strategic decision-making. OZMOSI provides structured, machine-readable intelligence across clinical trials, drug development programs, regulatory activity, and scientific literature, built on a consistent taxonomy that standardizes how data is connected and understood. Planview’s platform enables organizations to model complex investment scenarios, align initiatives with corporate strategy, and optimize resource allocation.

Together, these capabilities give teams a clearer, more complete view of the R&D landscape, grounded in clean, standardized data and strengthened by AI-driven analysis.

“AI is only as powerful as the data that fuels it,” said Beau Bush, President and Founder of OZMOSI. “Pharmaceutical organizations have no shortage of data, but too often it’s fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to operationalize. By bringing OZMOSI’s structured data foundation together with Planview’s AI-driven planning capabilities, we’re enabling teams to move beyond disconnected analysis and toward truly integrated, forward-looking decision-making.”

“Strategic planning in pharmaceutical R&D is becoming increasingly dependent on advanced analytics and AI,” said Louise Allen, Chief Product Officer at Planview. “Integrating OZMOSI’s clinical intelligence into Planview’s platform enables pharmaceutical leaders to make better decisions by combining trusted external data with AI-driven planning

OZMOSI’s dataset spans more than 800,000 clinical trials, over 35,000 drugs, and 4,000 diseases and conditions. It brings together insights from clinical trial registries, regulatory filings, scientific literature, company disclosures, and industry announcements into a unified, structured dataset.

When integrated into Planview’s platform, this intelligence enables pharmaceutical and biotech organizations to evaluate competitive landscapes, identify emerging clinical trends, and simulate portfolio outcomes with unprecedented precision.

Together, OZMOSI and Planview are redefining how pharmaceutical organizations approach R&D strategy, ensuring that investment decisions are guided by accurate, standardized, and AI-ready data. By combining internal portfolio visibility with a continuously updated external view of the market, the partnership helps leaders not only understand what they have, but what to do next.

The company provides the foundation needed for accurate competitive analysis, product forecasting, and portfolio strategy. Through its proprietary taxonomy and semantic layer, OZMOSI connects fragmented data across the pharmaceutical ecosystem, enabling faster, more confident decision-making for global pharma, biotech, and investment teams.
