Former Snap Inc. content and partnerships leader joins the creator-economy company to help scale its brand, media, and talent partnership strategy

LAS VEGAS, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LV8, the full-service digital marketing agency specializing in influencer marketing, content production, and digital marketing strategy founded by Griffin Haddrill & Gabby Gamad, today announced that Patrick Connolly has joined the company as Chief Strategy Officer. Connolly brings more than a decade of experience building content ecosystems and partnership strategies at the intersection of media, entertainment, and the creator economy.

As Chief Strategy Officer, Connolly will help define and execute LV8’s long-term growth strategy, working closely with founder Griffin Haddrill, COO Gabby Gamad, and the senior leadership team to identify new growth opportunities, expand client and partner relationships, and launch new service offerings. He will play a central role in shaping the company’s commercial strategy and business development efforts as LV8 continues to grow as a leading social, influencer, content, and digital marketing company.

Connolly joins LV8 following 11 years at Snap Inc., where he was one of the company’s earliest and most tenured leaders. During his time at Snap, he helped define the editorial voice of Snapchat’s Discover platform, building and scaling relationships with the world’s top media companies, talent organizations, and live entertainment brands. His work translated those partnerships into editorial strategies and distribution frameworks that drove significant platform impact across vertical video, tentpole cultural moments, and the creator economy.

“LV8 sits at exactly the intersection I’ve spent my career building toward, where great content and great partnerships reinforce each other,” said Connolly. “I’m excited to help build the operational infrastructure and strategic partnerships that will help LV8 and its creators scale.”

He later led a programming team overseeing partner relationships, editorial strategy and onboarding for Snap’s Entertainment and Lifestyle content verticals, and went on to own the full partner lifecycle – from onboarding and systems training through editorial strategy, policy compliance and performance optimization. In that role, he served as the senior cross-functional point of contact between Snap’s highest-revenue partners and its Product, BD, Legal and Policy teams, building workflows that improved outcomes across the partnership ecosystem.

Over his career, Connolly has led partnerships spanning the full lifecycle – from sourcing and editorial programming through platform optimization and performance analysis – with organizations including NBCUniversal, Paramount,, Netflix, iHeartRadio, PMC, Condé Nast, Complex, TMZ, AEG, Live Nation, “We are a hard-driving, fast-growing company that cares deeply about the brands and clients we represent. The next era of LV8 is incredibly exciting as we continue investing in our team, deepening our capabilities, and building an even stronger platform for creators and brands. Patrick’s raw instincts for strategic planning, partnerships, and organizational growth will be transformational as we continue to scale.” said Griffin Haddrill, founder of LV8.

Print Banners NYC Delivers Custom Stage Backdrops for High-Level UNGA Women Empowerment Summit

Published

Print Banners NYC delivered custom, glare-free stretch fabric backdrops for a high-level UNGA Women Empowerment in Cybersecurity summit, providing rapid production, secure delivery, and on-time installation despite strict Manhattan security restrictions.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Leading NYC-based rush printing experts successfully delivered custom stretch fabric displays for global leaders during the United Nations General Assembly week. The High-Level Convening on Women Empowerment in Cybersecurity was jointly hosted by UN Women, the Global Cybersecurity Forum, and the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on September 23, 2026. Such high-profile events and diplomatic summits leave zero room for error and Print Banners NYC lived up to the challenge.

As NYC’s ultimate rush order specialist, we handle last-minute printing so you can order today and receive today. Honestly, we print everything except dollar bills.

Focus on Print Quality

Print Banners NYC put up glare-free, wrinkle-free displays of 20×10 ft and 10×8 ft, with precise color and high contrast to create the perfect backdrop for delegates. When world leaders speak, flash photography is bound to happen, and this is the true test of a backdrop. Print Banner NYC’s visuals came out sharp and crisp throughout the event as the world watched HD broadcast. The custom blue, multi-agency backdrop defined the summit’s visual presentation as colors did not bleed or blur despite all the exposure to heat and light.

The team used polyester banners to get the crisp look with high-tension installation. The fabric and frame for such banners are designed for rapid assembly, which is crucial at such events. A matte finish was chosen because it absorbs light to prevent flash glare from press photo lines.

“In global diplomacy, event deadlines are stringent, and quality cannot be compromised,” said Mohamad Faroqui, Founder of Print Banners NYC. “As NYC’s ultimate rush order specialist, we handle last-minute printing so you can order today and receive today. Honestly, we print everything except dollar bills,” Faroqui added.

Navigating UNGA Security Zones

Despite strict security zones across Manhattan, the Print Banners NYC team managed logistics exceptionally well. The team navigated street closures, NYPD checkpoints, and strict venue security clearances, demonstrating commitment to timely delivery and flawless installation. Truly, a last-minute printing specialist.

An integrated pipeline of in-house design finalization and delivery to the venue with the installation team helped with timely completion of the tasks. Print Banners NYC team arrived at the venue ready to set up the banners on time before the event started.

Kase and Perelel Celebrate Six Years of Growth

Kase and Perelel mark six years of delivering exceptional customer experiences

FONTANA, Calif., Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kase, a nationwide provider of omnichannel fulfillment solutions, and Perelel, the OB/GYN-founded supplement company, are celebrating six years of partnership.

“Changing fulfillment providers is one of the most challenging and costly transitions a brand can face,” said Peter Davis, President of Kase. “In six years of growth, Perelel has never had to make that change. A long-term partnership means the operation grows with the business and its changing needs.”

Since selecting Kase as its first third-party logistics provider in 2020, Perelel has expanded across multiple fulfillment locations and channels, with Kase supporting Amazon FBA preparation, EDI-enabled wholesale, lot-level reporting, and custom kitting. The brand’s fulfillment is closely tied to customer trust, serving women during time-sensitive health stages, when the right product needs to arrive accurately and consistently. 

“Our partnership with Kase is not stagnant. It’s constantly growing as we’re growing, and they are stepping up to the plate to meet us where we need to be met. We feel and see that Kase values us as a customer,” said Mora Robert, Operations Associate Manager at Perelel.

Across Perelel’s fulfillment network, Kase has delivered 99.95% order accuracy, exceeded same-day shipping targets by 10%, and supported 2,000+% growth over six years. Multi-node fulfillment helps Perelel reach its audience faster, EDI reduces manual work for wholesale orders, and lot-level visibility allows the team to connect customer feedback to specific product lots.

The recent Perelel x Coterie collaboration is one example of the partnership in action. For the limited-edition bundle, Kase coordinated products from multiple vendors, proactively pre-kitting components. More than 75 kits were ready to ship the same day as launch, and the collaboration sold out within 72 hours.

“That is what long-term partnerships with best-in-class companies like Perelel buy you,” said Davis. “Our team knew what the bundle required before the order landed, quickly built a repeatable process around it, and pre-kitted the components so nothing waited on us at launch.” 

The full story of the Kase and Perelel partnership, including the teams, technology, and operational practices supporting Perelel’s growth, is available in the case study, “Built for Every Stage of Growth,” at https://kase.com/customer-stories/perelel-fulfillment-case-study/.

Kase delivers direct-to-consumer, retail, and omnichannel fulfillment powered by proprietary technology that provides real-time order tracking, order routing, inventory control, and parcel rate selection. Kase helps brands keep their promises with every order.
