ReverseVision Names Kelly Kelleher Director of Corporate Marketing and Events

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- ReverseVision, the leading provider of software and technology for the reverse mortgage industry, today announced the promotion of Kelly Kelleher to the role of director of corporate marketing and events.

Since joining ReverseVision as marketing manager in 2013, Kelleher has worn many hats and helped guide projects ranging from a full-scale corporate rebranding to targeted marketing campaigns to drive user participation in ReverseVision's flagship reverse mortgage loan origination system (LOS), ReverseVision Exchange (RVX). Kelleher has also heightened the firm's visbility in traditional mortgage trade media and events and designed and championed corporate thought leadership initiatives in partnership with the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), American Bankers Association (ABA) and various financial planning and financial advisor networks.

"Kelly's accomplishments in driving strategic direction with detail-oriented execution will only continue to enhance and strengthen ReverseVision's position as the industry leader," said ReverseVision Vice President of Sales and Marketing Wendy Peel.

In her new role, Kelleher will refine ReverseVision's brand identity to ensure it resonates with an evolving reverse mortgage marketplace that is experiencing the entry of more traditional, or "forward," lenders than ever before. She will also spearhead the ongoing cultivation and contribution of ReverseVision thought leadership to support industry growth.

Peel noted that Kelleher's combination of technical experience and expertise in all media outlets make her uniquely qualified to grow ReverseVision's annual user conference, RV UserCon, and "Fact Track" events, which educate prospective brokers and lenders on how and why to enter the reverse mortgage market. Through these activities, Kelleher will continue to bring reverse lending ideas, education and awareness to financial planners and other retirement advisors.

"I am continually impressed with Kelly's drive and commitment. She brings unique energy and ideas to every project - even the exhausting task of working a tradeshow floor. ReverseVision substantically benefits from the results she brings to the team," said ReverseVision President and CEO John Button.

"At ReverseVision, I am fortunate to be in a position where I can put my skills and experience to work for both a company and a product, the HECM, in which I sincerely believe," said Kelleher. A home-equity conversion mortgage, or HECM for short, is the most common type of reverse mortgage. "Exploring new ways of promoting the reverse mortgage industry and projecting the ReverseVision message on a national level is a compelling professional challenge that I welcome and embrace vigorously."

About ReverseVision:

Recognized as a Deloitte's 2015 Technology Fast 500(TM) company, ReverseVision is the leading software and technology provider for the reverse mortgage industry and offers products and services focused exclusively on reverse mortgages.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Steve Comisar is not your average celebrity felon. Comisar is the only Hollywood actor on earth that is also a famous con man. With over 700K Twitter followers and over one million YouTube views, he is a social media phenom.

Media and Advertising in 2017: What’s to Come

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- What types of advertising media, such as radio, television, and online ads, rose or fell in popularity in 2017? What are the main demographics advertisers target? Which moods and inflections are most sought after for resonance and persuasive power? To answer these questions, Voices.com has released their look at the media and advertising trends that will dominate over the next year.

The 2017 Trends Report illuminates how the North American media and advertising landscape is shifting - as told by the voice over industry. Choices made in the voice over performances - such as the characteristics of the actor, or the artistic direction of the read - have been demonstrated to be a leading indicator of changes in consumer behavior and greater shifts in the media and advertising industry.

The report is a reflection of a survey that was reviewed by creative professionals all over North America, and was conducted via email and one-on-one telephone interviews. Additional insights were provided by a focus group of voice over casting specialists who service a wide variety of industries, geographies, and client types. Research participants were creative professionals who are content creators, holding roles such as producers, directors, advertising executives, CEOs, business owners, freelancers, and more.

Some of the key findings this year that readers will find in the full report include:

1) While apps may have appeared to be the promised land several years ago, in 2016, almost half (48 percent) of respondents said that apps weren't worth producing or relevant to their work.

2) 71 percent of creative professional produce content in non-English, with approximately 21 percent of respondents indicating that in 2016 - and moving into 2017 - they have increased the number of bilingual scripts they are producing.

3) When creating content that will connect with a specific target audience, the vast majority opt for a voice actor who could sound like a peer (73 percent want a 'same age' voice). This statistic supports other evidence that 2016 was the year of "the approachable expert," a trend that promises to continue into 2017.

4) Virtual reality will continue to be an emerging trend: "In 2016, we saw an increase in requests for live streaming services, as well as for virtual reality (VR) and 360 content capture," says Todd Wiseman, President of Man with a Cam.

5) Moving out of 2016, 17 percent of professional creatives report that they are using - or being asked to use - celebrity soundalikes less. Over 27 percent flat out refuse to use the strategy at all.

With so many diverging trends and emerging technologies, 2017 is sure to be a year to watch, as the creative industry attempts to define and find its foothold in an ever changing media landscape.

CyberCopy Breaks Ground in U.S. with Fine Art Scanning Back Imaging System

Rencay Scanning Process

CULVER CITY, Calif., April 20, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- CyberCopy, Inc. is excited to announce that it is the first, and currently only, company to offer the Rencay SuperFineArt™ scanning back imaging system in the U.S. To date, Rencay has been mostly exclusive to Europe and Asia.

Rencay replaces the Better Light scanning backs, which are still used by highly respected art museums, including the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the MOMA in New York City. For decades, Better Light produced the highest quality scanning backs in the world until it closed in 2012. To fill that market void, a group of experienced fine art scanning back users and resellers established Rencay USA to continue to support the scanning back technology, especially in art reproduction applications.

The Rencay scanning backs use a tri-linear CCD with three individually filtered rows of pixels that gather the image's information in one continuous scan; all pixels are pure, true RGB color.

"Hands down, it's the best technology for fine art imaging available. These machines are known for capturing image quality superior to large format film or any fixed-array digital camera," Larry Guyer, Rencay USA representative, says.

Formerly with Better Light, Guyer adds that, "Rencay does everything and more of what Better Light did."

Rencay's premium model, housed at CyberCopy, is the 416 Megapixel SuperFineArt™ Scan Back. It produces an impressive 2.32 Gigabyte, 48-bit image file (16,000 x 26,000 pixels) without interpolation and uses a patented technology that moves the tri-linear sensor in micron-increments to achieve a superior level of image resolution.

"Our intention is to use it for fine art reproduction work only," David Beardsley, president, CyberCopy says. "The combination of extraordinary detail, faster workflow and control of color and tones is unparalleled."

Imagers who demand accurate reproduction of the finest details in large art originals, manuscripts, scrolls and other subjects where absolute clarity is critical will see why Rencay is the clear choice.

About CyberCopy:

CyberCopy is a leading provider of digital print, imaging and document management services. Its clients are among the most successful and demanding companies in their markets. CyberCopy works with local and international artists, gallery owners and museums, to scan their original art to print exact replicas to sell or archive.

California Safe Schools Receives 2014 Neotrope Non-Profit PR Grant

child environmental health

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 18, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- California Safe Schools (CSS) is pleased to announce it is one of 10 recipients for 2014 of Neotrope's annual J.L. Simmons Non-Profit PR Grant award. With this commitment, Neotrope(R) will provide public relations (PR) and cause-marketing support to California Safe Schools over the next year to raise awareness around its programs and accomplishments.

California Safe Schools is a nationally - and internationally - celebrated child's environmental health and environmental justice coalition.

"We are grateful to have Neotrope assist us in raising awareness on children's environmental health and environmental justice. Their services will be extremely helpful as we continue to spearhead ground-breaking programs and policies that protect our most vulnerable," says founder and Executive Director of California Safe Schools, Robina Suwol, who was named by UTNE Magazine as one of "50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World."

As part of this in-kind grant program, Neotrope(R) is providing PR solutions, news dissemination (through its Send2Press(R) Newswire service), and social media marketing for California Safe Schools. This cause-related marketing program is intended to help raise awareness of the 501(c)3 non-profit to traditional media, to the public, as well as to potential sponsors and donors, regarding their efforts.

"We're honored to be providing assistance to such a worthy cause as California Safe Schools," said Neotrope CEO, Christopher Laird Simmons; a member of PRSA and ASCAP. "We were impressed by their goals of keeping kids safe through education and policy making efforts."

"For more than sixteen years, California Safe Schools has led groundbreaking efforts to ensure that school children and the public have a right not to be poisoned, a right to learn, work and live in a healthful environment. When we work together great things can and do happen," added Suwol.

About California Safe Schools:

California Safe Schools (CSS) successfully spearheaded the most stringent schools pesticide use policy in the nation, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), at the Los Angeles Unified School District. IPM uses low risk methods to eradicate insects, weeds and other pests, eliminating a major source of indoor and outdoor pollution. It was the first in the United States to embrace the "Precautionary Principle" and "Right to Know" about pesticides used on school campuses. The success of the Los Angeles Unified policy led to California Legislation, Healthy Schools Act 2000.

On October 6, 2005, Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 405 (Montanez) sponsored by California Safe Schools. This important law closes a loophole thus protecting more than 6 million California k-12 public school students, and hundreds of thousands of teachers and school employees from exposure to experimental pesticides whose health effects are unknown.

CSS has worked extensively on local and national School Siting Guidelines and under Robina Suwol's leadership, has facilitated changes at the policy level as well as at the grassroots which creates a lasting institutional protection.

Segoma’s Next Generation Diamond Display Technology

Segoma 360 Degree

LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 28, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Segoma Imaging Technologies will be launching its next generation of diamond 360 imaging technology later this year. Segoma Imaging Technologies has revolutionized the diamond industry by providing diamond traders and buyers with what they really need: the ability to view any diamond - exactly as it is - in 360 degrees.

When it comes to evaluating a diamond's shape, color, clarity, beauty and sparkle, viewing a diamond photographed by Segoma in 360 degrees is as holding the stone in your hand. This proprietary technology replaces the need to evaluate diamonds in person, saving countless shipping hours and unnecessary flights around the world.

Segoma is already an established name for digital diamond display. Many savvy customers already demand "a Segoma" from traders and manufacturers before they contemplate finalizing a purchase. Segoma reports that since the beginning of this year, already two and a half million potential buyers have viewed almost a hundred thousand of Segoma images, resulting in millions of dollars in sales.

Ever since Segoma launched its first generation cutting-edge diamond imagery, competitors have worked tirelessly to try and replicate the same success. Segoma's images are completely authentic - they do not undergo any image processing or manipulation and/or aesthetic enhancements. What you see is what you get.

"Our first generation of diamond scanners were built to document reality and ensure accuracy, transparency and security. Our next generation of automatic diamond scanners give the ability to see a diamond from all sides while allowing to see the exact shape color clarity and cut of a diamond in a way which was never before possible, even better than our first generation," says Litan Yahav, CEO of Segoma. "Gone are the days of sending physical diamonds to prospective buyers. It costs too much, the risk is too high, and there is a more efficient way. Our diamond scanners now enable to capture diamonds in all their magnificence - at the highest possible resolution - to make inspecting a diamond an ease and a pleasure."

Segoma's photography centers are located within the main diamond bourses in the world - Mumbai, New York and Ramat Gan - allowing diamond dealers the flexibility to send diamonds directly and receive them back on the next business day.
