Thinkzilla Expands to Scottsdale, Arizona to Support Minority-Owned Businesses and Entrepreneurs

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Thinkzilla, a culturally aware brand engagement firm based in Atlanta, today announces plans to open a new office in Scottsdale, Ariz. where it will hire 25 employees in the first six months. The female and minority-owned company selected Greater Phoenix because of the region's robust entrepreneurial ecosystem, diverse demographic and talent base, and leadership in advancing strategic diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. These efforts align with Thinkzilla's goals of providing equitable opportunity by expanding resources and knowledge for minority-owned businesses and entrepreneurs.

"As we broaden our supplier diversity, and diversity and inclusion programs across the country, we look forward to helping more companies boost economic empowerment, find meaningful social engagement and manage social equity initiatives," said Thinkzilla CEO Dr. Velma Trayham. "We are incredibly proud of our track record of helping diverse businesses, communities and individuals, and look forward to connecting with the Scottsdale community to grow innovation and opportunities."

Thinkzilla will lease space at SkySong, the Arizona State University (ASU) Scottsdale Innovation Center. SkySong attracts cutting-edge and innovative companies while integrating the resources of ASU with the opportunities of the private sector. In April 2021, the City of Scottsdale unanimously adopted an anti-discrimination ordinance prohibiting discrimination based on actual or perceived race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.

"Dr. Trayham's company, Thinkzilla, as well as her entrepreneur accelerator program to support minority women as they scale their businesses, aligns with Scottsdale's mission to support and attract businesses that promote diversity, equity and inclusion," said Scottsdale Mayor David Ortega. "The City adopted economic development strategic plan and our anti-discrimination ordinance lets businesses know that Scottsdale is a destination for innovative and diverse companies like Thinkzilla, who we are thrilled to welcome to their new home at SkySong."

Natural synergies exist between Thinkzilla and ASU as seen through the university's leadership in DE&I and entrepreneurship and innovation. For the sixth year in a row, U.S. News & World Report named ASU the most innovative university in the nation. The J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship + Innovation Institute serves as connecting and collaborating resources for entrepreneurs at all stages across ASU and Greater Phoenix, which helped lead Thinkzilla to SkySong.

"The addition of Thinkzilla to the SkySong community presents new opportunities for important and meaningful collaborations throughout the Valley," said Grace O'Sullivan, Vice President of Corporate Engagement and Strategic Partnerships at Arizona State University. "We're delighted to welcome Thinkzilla to Arizona."

The Arizona State of Black Business March 2021 Report notes, 'Black/African Americans have the highest percentage growth rate in the state. Black/African Americans face unique barriers to entrepreneurship and there is a need to increase support for Black-owned businesses including access to capital and direct financing pathways, startup resources, education, collaborative research, and assistance in identifying and navigating business opportunities.' Thinkzilla reinforces that inclusive, equitable businesses and communities drive prosperity, and by building, managing, and bringing awareness to those programs and initiatives further supports underserved and underrepresented communities.

"Thinkzilla is an exciting addition to Greater Phoenix's robust service and business sector that will help propel our innovation-centered economy forward and provide resources and knowledge to our growing minority-owned businesses population," said Chris Camacho, president & CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. "Our diversity is our greatest strength. Creating opportunity and an equitable community is accomplished only through inclusive growth, and we look forward to working with Thinkzilla, the City of Scottsdale and ASU to support their continued success."

The Coppola-Cheney Group and Lee & Associates Arizona assisted with the real estate transaction. Plaza Companies is the master developer of SkySong, in partnership with University Realty, the City of Scottsdale and Holualoa Companies.

"We are pleased to welcome Thinkzilla to the SkySong family," said Sharon Harper, chairman and CEO of Plaza Companies. "This is the kind of forward-thinking, innovative organization that will grow and thrive in the SkySong environment, and we are gratified they chose SkySong for their presence in the Phoenix area."

Kennedy Intelligence Data to Begin AI Marketing Program for Southern California Toyota Dealerships

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. -- Kennedy Intelligence Data (KID) with its partner SQREEM Technologies Pte. Ltd. developed and executed a program for Toyota of San Bernardino with its proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) technology to increase the success of the dealership's digital advertising campaigns. The results were so successful that a larger program is being prepared to test the KID approach over a greater network of Toyota dealerships.

"Working with KID and SQREEM was and is an eye-opening experience. We got a close up look at the new permutations of advertising through digital platforms using AI," said Cliff Cummings, President and Dealer Principal, Toyota of San Bernardino. "We saw increased traffic to our sites and there were very clear indications that in the areas where we focused this campaign that our penetration of the market saw marked increase."

Though the exact details are not being released, for competitive reasons, KID would go on the record to say they will be doing a larger program that will include multiple Toyota dealerships in the Southern California region.

"We are happy for the success KID/SQREEM AI provided Cliff Cummings and his Auto Group, and we look forward to doing the same for all the Toyota dealerships in the Southern California region," said James Kennedy President and CEO of Kennedy Intelligent Data.

SQREEM for their part were glad to see that the partnership with KID, which is strategically important due to the reach KID has in North America in the auto marketing arena, is paying quick dividends.

"As an AI-run digital media company, SQREEM has developed a world-first cookie-free media buying tech stack, that is now showing demonstrably better conversions than the traditional cookie-based approach. I am now very confident SQREEM will revolutionize digital media buying, especially in the new cookie-free era, the SQREEM approach is now proven to be a viable alternative to FLoC methodologies," said Ian Chapman-Banks co-founder and CEO of SQREEM.

"The digital marketing world is constantly evolving at a dizzying pace and KID and SQREEM are on the edge of that evolution," said Cummings. "What is a new approach, an emerging technology a year, six months, a month ago can be obsolete very quickly. We are pleased to be working with a company that is at the edge of that evolution of tactics in the digital world."

The collection of on-demand email, video and interactive content, available as a subscription service, is hand-selected by mortgage industry experts from the full content library available to Top of Mind's Surefire CRM customers. While mortgage lenders can use Surefire Creative to deploy content on a one-off basis, the new service's true value lies in its ability to integrate with lenders' existing marketing automation workflows. For instance, lenders who build customer journeys using Salesforce Marketing Cloud but don't have in-house mortgage marketing expertise can plug in content from Surefire Creative and deploy it at scale.

Surefire Creative collateral reflects each lender's unique brand and can be easily customized with loan officer and referral partner details. Each piece of content is expertly designed to nurture lenders' relationships with customers. Often educational and always entertaining, Surefire Creative's English- and Spanish-language content includes loan calculators and interactives that are dynamically personalized on the fly for each borrower.

Top of Mind's creative content has earned recognition in multiple internationally renowned award programs, including the AVA Digital Awards, the Telly Awards and the Hermes Creative Awards. To learn more about Surefire Creative, visit https://www.topofmind.com/surefire-creative/.
