SINGAPORE, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Creta Class proudly took part in the Start Small Dream Big Walkathon 2025, held on 11th May at Siloso Beach Sentosa, joining thousands of families and young children in a meaningful celebration of empathy, unity, and community spirit.

Bringing together over 2,000 participants, the event builds a strong sense of community that mirrors Creta Class’s commitment to learning and growth.

“Our participation in the walkathon reflected our core values—where growth isn’t just measured by numbers and letters, but by the kindness we show and the connections we build,” said a spokesperson from Creta Class. “It was inspiring to see our young learners walk hand-in-hand with their families, learning that every small step can make a big difference.”

In addition to participating in the walk, Creta Class also hosted a learning corner at the event. Children engaged in hands-on games which were designed to foster problem-solving abilities and deepen their logical thinking skills—key elements at the heart of the Creta Class curriculum.

Su Fen Cheong, founder and CEO of Preschool Market, shared:”It was truly heartening to witness so many families come together in support of a greater cause. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Creta Class for their meaningful contribution. They brought an unique and inspiring presence to the event, showing how education can extend beyond the classroom to shape kinder, more socially aware children.”

Jane Ng, a Creta Class parent who attended the event, shared how the program has positively impacted her child’s learning. “He used to struggle with focus,” she said, “but now he’s excited for his daily lessons. The interactive approach makes learning fun and helps him grasp new concepts easily.”

The half-day event was packed with activities designed to strengthen family bonds, foster emotional intelligence, and inspire children to become future changemakers.

Through this initiative, Creta Class reaffirmed its commitment to nurturing not only academic excellence but also emotional and social growth, shaping the next generation of compassionate, well-rounded learners.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
