Published

on

HONG KONG, SHANGHAI and GUANGZHOU, China, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EternityX, a leading global marketing technology company, today announced its strategic partnership with LI-NING 1990, the premium golf brand under the LI-NING Group, as its integrated marketing and communications partner for 2026.

The partnership reflects EternityX’s expertise in connecting brands with Chinese audiences through culturally nuanced, data-driven marketing strategies. It also reinforces the company’s position as a trusted partner for Chinese brands seeking to shape differentiated premium narratives in an increasingly competitive market.

Together, EternityX and LI-NING 1990 will integrate the brand’s professional sporting heritage with a contemporary premium lifestyle aesthetic, leveraging precision digital strategies to expand its reach beyond core golf communities and into China’s broader high-net-worth consumer segment. The collaboration aims to redefine the standards of premium sports marketing through a distinctive blend of performance, culture, and modern luxury.

Where Golf Meets Eastern Philosophy: Redefining Premium Consumer Resonance 
At the intersection of sport and culture, golf’s philosophy of adapting to terrain and conditions naturally aligns with Eastern values of harmony and balance. The game’s emphasis on discipline, etiquette, and integrity also reflects long-standing Chinese ideals of composure, respect, and self-mastery.

This partnership brings together the essence of golf, Eastern philosophy, and LI-NING 1990’s premium brand identity into a cohesive and compelling narrative. Beyond representing a modern interpretation of premium sporting lifestyle, the collaboration demonstrates EternityX’s ability to translate cultural insight into meaningful brand engagement.

Grounded in a deep understanding of China’s high-net-worth consumers — who increasingly value understated sophistication and authentic cultural expression — EternityX will help transform these insights into sustained brand equity growth through integrated digital excellence.

Driving Brand Equity Through Full-Portfolio Communication
Building upon LI-NING 1990’s annual product roadmap, EternityX will deliver comprehensive communication optimisation across the brand’s golf portfolio, including both the PRO Elite Series and CLUB Series.

Through differentiated storytelling and precise articulation of product value, the partnership seeks to convert short-term market momentum into long-term brand loyalty. Balancing technical performance with lifestyle appeal, the collaboration will strengthen LI-NING 1990’s resonance among consumers who value craftsmanship, innovation, and refined sporting culture.

Charlene Ree, Founder and CEO of EternityX, stated: “The LI-NING Group has established a strong reputation in professional sports through years of commitment to athletic excellence, innovation, and performance-driven development. As the Group’s dedicated golf brand, LI-NING 1990 is committed to this mission—pioneering new trends in China’s sports market through professional, technologically advanced products and fashion athletic designs.”

“Professionalism is only the starting point — true brand influence is ultimately defined by cultural relevance and emotional connection. Premium marketing is not about scale alone; it is about creating narratives that resonate deeply with products, people, and culture. EternityX will help LI-NING 1990 articulate a complete and compelling brand story, from philosophy to visual identity, while communicating the brand’s confidence and sophistication within today’s digital landscape.” added Charlene.

Deric Wong, Global Chief Commercial Officer of EternityX, pointed out: “EternityX has spent years building cross-border marketing capabilities supported by extensive audience insights and data assets across premium consumer segments. These capabilities allow us to identify evolving market opportunities and support brands in building long-term strategic value.”

“Whether helping international brands unlock growth opportunities in China or enabling Chinese brands to establish stronger cultural recognition and community affinity, we have developed proven pathways and mature expertise. By integrating the discipline of golf with the adaptability of Eastern strategic thinking, we aim to build a sustainable and differentiated brand growth engine for LI-NING 1990.” Deric added.

Richard Zou, General Manager of China at EternityX, added: “China’s premium consumer market is undergoing a significant transformation. Consumers today are no longer satisfied with imported luxury narratives alone — they increasingly seek brands that authentically reflect Eastern aesthetics, values, and cultural confidence.”

“Our partnership with LI-NING 1990 represents more than a convergence of digital marketing and brand storytelling; it is a meaningful step toward elevating Chinese brands on the global premium stage. Through full-funnel engagement strategies, we will help integrate the brand’s culture, design language, and product philosophy into consumers’ everyday lifestyles.

Our ambition extends beyond traditional marketing objectives. We aim to help LI-NING 1990 build a long-term emotional connection with consumers, where every interaction with the brand becomes part of a deeper cultural and lifestyle experience. “said Richard.

Building the Future of Chinese Premium Brand Influence
Looking ahead, EternityX will continue to support LI-NING 1990 with a strategic approach grounded in discipline, precision, and long-term brand building.

Together, both parties will deepen their engagement within premium lifestyle communities and social ecosystems, establishing a partnership designed to create enduring consumer value and lasting industry impact.

Promoting “Technology for Good” Through Innovation and Creativity 

HONG KONG, Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (HKAGE) has been invited to participate in InnoCarnival 2026, organised by the Innovation and Technology Commission. Under the theme “Technology for Good, Innovation for All”, HKAGE will showcase the learning journeys of gifted students who have completed programmes on AI robotic arms, underwater archaeology, etc., demonstrating how technology can be harnessed to address societal needs.

Having proactively aligned its work with the education development strategies of the Education Bureau (EDB), HKAGE fully supports the EDB’s Blueprint for Digital Education in Primary and Secondary Schools, which seeks to advance the digital transformation of school education in Hong Kong. Building on its Talent Development Model, HKAGE systematically develops programmes, provides diversified learning experiences and engages in cross-sector collaborations to nurture gifted talents equipped with innovative capabilities, technological literacy, and a strong sense of social responsibility. At the exhibition this year, HKAGE will present how students applied knowledge gained through gifted education programmes and learning experiences in areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, environmental science, underwater archaeology and sustainable development to design socially conscious solutions. These experiences reflect the students’ ability to serve society with knowledge and respond creatively to diverse challenges.

Among the highlights is the learning journey of students in the “Artificial Intelligence Course: Creative AI Robotic Arm for Inclusion”. After acquiring foundational knowledge in artificial intelligence, robotics and sensor applications, students designed, tested and refined intelligent robotic arm prototypes through real-time data analysis and algorithms. With the aim of improving the quality of life for the elderly and caregivers, students explored various application scenarios for intelligent robotic arms. Another showcase features the “Environmental Science Course: Bat Echoes – Voices of the Night”. Through acoustic monitoring, the exhibition demonstrates how students recorded bat voices and analysed related activity data and characteristics. The programme enabled students to gain a deeper understanding of local biodiversity and explore practical approaches to ecological conservation.

The HKAGE exhibition booth also features an interactive photo-taking device, allowing visitors to take photos with different gifted programme themes and share the joy of learning.

On the first day of the exhibition, a “Build Your Own Glider Parent-Child Workshop” is specially organised by HKAGE for the visitors. Under the guidance of instructors and assisted by HKAGE students, participants will learn the basic principles of aerodynamics, including lift, gravity, thrust and drag. They will also learn to design, assemble and decorate their own gliders by using lightweight and durable materials, experiencing the joy of science and engineering.

Mr WONG Chung Po, Acting Executive Director of HKAGE, said: “The Academy is committed to providing gifted students with diversified learning platforms and encouraging them to transform knowledge into innovative practices that generate positive social impact. Participation in this exhibition not only provides students with a valuable learning experience that helps consolidate the knowledge acquired in gifted programmes, but also enables the public to better understand how gifted education nurtures a new generation of creative and socially responsible talents to jointly advance the philosophy of ‘Technology for Good’.”

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.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

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

Published

on

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.
