Zartico Launches a Transformational MarTech Solution to Provide Data-Driven Answers and Analysis to Travel and Entertainment Marketing Issues

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zartico, an emerging MarTech company based in Salt Lake City, Utah, has cracked the code to understanding the patterns of people and place, moving beyond data aggregation to applying its advanced data science and proprietary technology to deliver innovative marketing performance solutions for destinations, place-based businesses, and their agencies.

By transforming complex data into actionable insights, Zartico’s data and integrated product line have revealed the hidden patterns of people and places embedded within movement and spending signals, empowering marketers to identify and engage their ideal customers at the optimal time, optimize marketing tactics to maximize effectiveness and efficiency and communicate real-world impact.

“I focused on how this product creates a clear picture of what attribution looks like. And so, for us, using actionable geolocation, spending and lodging-powered insights will remove the guesswork of what we are trying to see as marketers. In 2025, I plan to look at how we optimize our campaigns in real-time, target high-value visitors through origin market analysis, and how we improve vendor performance evaluations,” said Timothy Bush, Chief Marketing Officer, Visit Lake Charles.

Zartico is introducing its new, industry-leading Digital Campaign Optimization (DCO) attribution product. Built and guided through a 6-month pilot alongside leading agencies that specialize in travel and place-based marketing solutions such as Miles Partnership, MMGY, BVK, and Noble Studios, DCO’s suite includes client-direct outputs, and an Agency Connect feed for advanced data modeling. Metrics are focused on performance and the ability to optimize campaigns for maximum impact and Return on Ad Spend (ROAS).

Impression metrics answer questions such as: Am I serving ads to the right audiences, at the right frequencies? And what is the optimal reach and frequency for conversions? Conversion metrics allow campaign optimization based on visitation and visitation purposes while also providing timing between ads and visits. Comparison metrics consider if campaign tactics are aligned with ad-influenced behavior if a campaign is distributing visitors throughout the destination, and if all marketing efforts combined are influencing quality visits and impact. Unlike other products that emphasize reporting or monitoring, Zartico’s DCO activates action and tactical strategy.

“In previous iterations of our media plan, we’ve had a good idea directionally. But now what we can do (with DCO) is understand if they were served an ad, did they show up in the market? How is that impacting spend and lift, and how do different channels support different parts of the funnel? With other tools we receive only a raw output. We don’t get to see how the information is flowing through the pixel. This new product from Zartico does a really good job of understanding the needs of both the agencies and their clients and creating solutions that speak to those things,” said Danni Winter, Performance Marketing Director, Noble Studios.

DCO complements Zartico’s integrated marketing solutions product line. Their solutions identify quality visitation through understanding the visitors who come, what they spend and how long they stay. Technology includes market indexing, profile building, impact reports, benchmarks, comparative analysis, and DCO’s twin product, Website Attribution, which provides access to walled-garden media as well as content performance.

“Data quality is the single most important component to attribution accuracy. This was the key finding to trust in our development and is the foundation for DCO. DCO and our integrated products serve our customers and their agencies the best tools available to generate the largest ROAS from their digital advertising and impact from their marketing efforts, targeted at the highest value customers,” said Nicole Brownell, COO of Zartico.

“As Zartico has put together their product, they’ve thrown out a lot of the assumptions. They’ve re-formulated what makes sense and where those quality benchmarks are that make the data more usable, not just from a pure quantity standpoint, but asking ‘is this actually an effective number to work with,'” Gray Lawry, SVP, Strategy and Insights, Miles Partnership.
Zartico’s advanced data modeling is carving the way to the company’s expansion beyond Destination Marketing organizations and into the broader travel and entertainment industries. Zartico now serves marketers and agencies promoting destinations, resorts, ski areas, attractions, and arenas.

“We’re in an ever-changing landscape, and for us to have resulted in real time, as opposed to months after, is going to make us a lot smarter in decision making. As a very weather-dependent destination, and having several different audiences that we are targeting, we’re constantly trying to pivot and shift our messages. DCO assists us in making those decisions as quickly as possible,” said Stuart Maas, Senior Director of Marketing and Business Development, Visit Lake Tahoe.

Zartico’s marketing performance solutions are designed to drive real-world results — precisely targeting the right customer with the right message, to bring them to a destination at just the right time. DCO evaluates opportunities to acquire high-value customers and enables users to act on the information quickly and efficiently by reducing waste and maximizing ROI.

“Zartico’s new DCO product is well positioned to support agencies and DMOs with detailed, actionable data around diverse visitor economies and website attribution to ensure the highest ROI media spends are occurring,” said Ryan Kruizenga, Zartico board member and General Partner at Arthur Ventures, a Minneapolis-based venture capital firm that led Zartico’s $20 million in Series A funding in September 2022 with deep expertise in B2B software.

Caladium Systems Launches Happiffie, India’s First AI-powered Celebration Platform

Published

By

CHENNAI, India, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Caladium Systems today announced the launch of Happiffie, India’s first AI-powered Celebration Growth Platform, introducing a smarter way for customers to discover, compare, book, and manage celebrations while helping businesses connect with high-intent customers through intelligent technology.

Designed for weddings, birthdays, corporate events, social celebrations, parties, festivals, and more, Happiffie brings together over 400 celebration occasions and 1,000+ celebration experiences on a single AI-powered platform.

India’s celebrations industry continues to rely heavily on referrals, manual coordination, inconsistent pricing, and fragmented vendor discovery. Happiffie addresses these challenges by combining AI-powered recommendations, transparent price discovery, secure bookings, payments, and event management into one seamless platform.

A key innovation is Happiffie’s Reverse Auction, where customers simply submit their celebration requirements and verified vendors compete by offering customised proposals. Instead of spending hours searching and negotiating, customers can compare multiple qualified offers and choose the vendor that best matches their preferences and budget.

“Customers can now book the experience of their choice with the vendor of their choice, in the budget of their choice. At the same time, vendors receive qualified business opportunities matched to their category, location and capabilities, creating value for both sides of the marketplace,” said Pradhyumna T Venkat, Founder & CEO, Happiffie.

“Every major industry eventually reaches a point where technology fundamentally changes how it operates. Travel did. Hospitality did. Mobility did. We believe celebrations are next,” added Pradhyumna.

The platform is powered by Experience Intelligence™, a proprietary framework that combines over 15 years of celebration industry expertise with Artificial Intelligence to deliver smarter recommendations based on customer intent, preferences, and celebration needs.

Whether planning a wedding, birthday, corporate event, baby shower, anniversary, or festival celebration, customers can manage the entire journey—from vendor discovery and quotations to payments and execution—through a single platform.

Alongside its launch, Happiffie has opened registrations for vendor partners across Chennai and Tamil Nadu, with a phased expansion planned across India. The platform aims to build one of the country’s largest AI-powered celebration ecosystems, helping businesses generate qualified leads and grow more efficiently.

“Our vision is not simply to build another marketplace but to create the technology infrastructure that powers celebrations. Reverse Auction is the first step towards building a smarter, more transparent, and AI-driven celebration economy that benefits both customers and businesses alike,” added Pradhyumna.

Built on the experience of planning and executing over 5,000 weddings and celebrations, Happiffie combines deep industry expertise with AI to simplify celebration planning and transform how India celebrates.

Beko Publishes 2025 Integrated Report, Charting Years of Progress Toward Net Zero

Published

on

By

As Beko releases its 2025 Integrated Report, the company’s third consecutive inclusion on TIME’s global sustainability ranking — retaining the #1 position in its industry — underscores the progress documented within it.

ISTANBUL, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beko published its 2025 Integrated Report, offering a comprehensive account of the company’s financial, environmental and social performance over the past year. In parallel, Beko has been named one of TIME Magazine’s World’s Most Sustainable Companies for the third year running, retaining the #1 position in its industry. The recognition, awarded in partnership with Statista, independently corroborates years of deliberate, measurable progress.

The report documents concrete results across Beko’s global manufacturing footprint. In 2025:

Energy efficiency projects across production sites saved 69,562 GJ of energy, avoiding 5,297 tonnes of CO₂e emissions.Waste recycling across all manufacturing facilities reached 98.6%, against a target of 99%.Renewable energy installed capacity reached 96 MWp, up from 90.2 MWp the prior year. Beko also reached 63.5% green electricity on the path to 100% across all manufacturing by 2030.Water efficiency and rainwater harvesting projects across locations delivered total water savings of 219,114 m3.

Behind these figures is a broader manufacturing transformation. Three of Beko’s manufacturing facilities have been recognised within the World Economic Forum’s Global Lighthouse Network, with the Ulmi plant earning the additional, and rarer, designation of Sustainability Lighthouse. The principles behind Ulmi’s approach are being extended across Beko’s broader manufacturing ecosystem, as the company scales low-impact production. Beko currently operates 13 smart factories globally — equipped with artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics capabilities — with a target of 17 by the end of 2026.

On the circular economy side, Beko’s refurbishment centres across multiple locations reintroduced more than 148,000 appliances into the market in 2025 alone. The company recycled 1.98 million WEEE units through its own recycling facilities since 2014, and used 31,665 tonnes of recycled plastics in its products in 2025.

Across its product portfolio, 72.6% of Beko’s turnover in 2025 came from low-carbon products — a figure that reflects both the scale of the company’s energy-efficient product range and growing consumer demand for appliances that address environmental concerns.

“Being recognised by TIME three years in a row matters because it reflects that sustainability is a foundational part of Beko’s business,” said Can Dinçer, CEO of Beko. “Our factories undergo a twin transformation where we encounter both decarbonization and digitalization. That progress is deliberate and measurable, and our Integrated Report sets out exactly how. As the world prepares for COP31, the most credible thing a company can do is demonstrate its work rather than declare it. That is what we are doing.”

TIME’s annual list evaluates more than 5,000 companies worldwide across environmental and social performance, transparency and ESG reporting. Beko’s continued inclusion under increasingly rigorous standards points to a business model where sustainability is structurally embedded across operations, supply chains and product portfolios.

In addition to its Integrated Report, the Company has also published its second TSRS-compliant sustainability report, prepared in accordance with the Türkiye Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS), Türkiye’s adoption of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). The report is publicly available and provides detailed disclosures on the company’s climate-related risks, opportunities, governance, strategy and performance.

JustMarkets Releases Market Analysis on How Foreign Exchange Markets React to CPI Surprises

Published

on

By

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JustMarkets today released a new market analysis examining how foreign exchange markets react to Consumer Price Index (CPI) surprises and outlining key considerations for traders preparing for inflation data releases. The analysis explains why the gap between actual CPI data and market expectations, rather than the headline inflation figure itself, is often the primary driver of currency market movements.

What people often miss on CPI day is that the number itself isn’t what moves the market. The common reaction is to check whether the headline number is high or low, but it’s all priced in advance. According to JustMarkets, the real driver of EUR/USD is the gap between the actual number and what the market was positioned for.

Even an unchanged reading can cause dollar weakness if traders expect higher inflation, while weaker numbers that beat consensus expectations may drive dollar strength. Citing Federal Reserve research, the price driver is a surprise component rather than the headline.

Why the Expectation Gap Is More Important Than the Level

Forex is driven by expectations for interest rate decisions, with inflation impacting central bank policy. Key factors influencing this reaction include:

Main factors:

Monthly CPI and core CPICore services inflationRevisions to the previous period dataCentral banks policy pricing

Year-over-year data is less important in terms of price impact than monthly and core data.

How to Calculate Surprise

Start with the simplest metric: Surprise = Actual CPI − Consensus CPI. 

Consensus comes from the economic calendar’s forecast and reflects the market positioning. And then you need to check the market reaction through rates. The sequence typically runs: CPI surprise → change in front-end yields → USD movement → the sentiment adjustment.

Traders frequently employ this methodology in combination with the JustMarkets Economic Calendar to track high-impact releases in real time.

What the Intraday Move Actually Looks Like

CPI reactions usually happen in three stages. The first one is a headline shock with the potential algorithm’s reaction within a few seconds. Then comes the interpretation stage, with a time frame of 15-60 minutes and analysis of core numbers and yield confirmation. And then either continuation or reversal happens.

Approaches to Trading CPI Day

There are two common approaches to CPI.

The momentum approach requires the consistency of headlines and core surprises with yields’ confirmation. Most traders wait until the first minute’s candle is closed to avoid false signals.The fade approach requires dislocations like the absence of yield confirmation to FX movement or dislocations between headlines and core numbers. In this case, traders wait 10−20 minutes for exhaustion of the initial move and reversal setup search.

Risk management is crucial. Most traders limit their position size to 0.25%-0.50% of their equity because of widening spreads and slippage. Sometimes the decision to trade off is more optimal during extreme volatility than forced entry.

One Way to Prepare for the Next CPI Day Release

A simple way to get ready is to monitor EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY pairs and an economic calendar with events’ importance. The workflow is simple: Economic calendar → release → Trading platform.

The final step brings traders to the execution platform. Many turn to JustMarkets, which offers CFDs on these currency pairs, with execution stability and fast market access that make it well suited for high-volatility macro events.
