Bringing order to the chaotic world of digital assets: Cambridge Judge Business School builds on celum

Linz, Austria (PRWEB) November 19, 2014

Cambridge Judge Business School sits at the heart of the University of Cambridge. Established in 1990, the School has experienced rapid growth and is a world-class provider of innovative and transformative business education. The School has a strong international brand among business schools and invests strategically in marketing and profile-raising initiatives which result in the production of significant quantities of brand assets.

A new brand portal

The new brand toolkit presents a digital version of the CJBS brand guidelines focused on user need, presenting selected collections of assets which are managed centrally in the celum DAM system and made available via the celum API.

The portal offers staff and students of the School much more than just images by making available selected collections of brand assets such as Word and PowerPoint presentation templates, logos, fonts, and signage – all framed in an engaging mobile-friendly set of webpages alongside guidance on their use, built using the open source CMS TYPO3.

The DAM system itself maintains one master copy of each asset and gives CJBS the opportunity for greater control over the use of their brand by ensuring that the latest, correct, version is always available. It also provides powerful search functions and wizards to help the user download the correct file for their needs.

A growth story

Summer 2014 also saw celum’s solution for Cambridge Judge Business School adopted by other parts of the wider University of Cambridge, and the system is seeing rapid expansion of both managed assets and user registrations from other departments. Plans are now underway to provide a second brand portal in the future – this time for the University as a whole.

BEASD Turns to StrandVision Digital Signage for School Communications

Bellefonte, PA (Vocus) August 18, 2010

StrandVision LLC today announced that Bald Eagle Area School District (BEASD) has selected StrandVision Digital Signage for student and community communications at its middle-high school that serves 12 northern Centre County, Pennsylvania communities.

The signage carries several school communication messages, including student notices and after-school activities/bus schedules, sports notices and results, awards and recognition, event promotions and recaps. It also serves as a bulletin board for the public in support of the many community meetings that take place at the school complex. The same digital signage network of large (60”) screens is used to display streaming video feeds from the gymnasium to the cafeteria to accommodate overflow audiences at community events.

The digital signage, which is updated daily by school staff, takes advantage of StrandVision’s Internet-based digital signage delivery system. StrandVision provides digital signage page templates, split screens, crawling text and the ability to post pictures, text and graphics at any time. It also offers automatically updated local weather and news. The BEASD displays are all located in the middle-high school building complex, but, using StrandVision’s Internet distribution, can easily be extended to each of the buildings in the District.

Commented Bill Corkill, BEASD instructional technology specialist and activities director, “We first looked at doing our own signage. But the StrandVision price point was so good that we decided to use the service that they offered. It’s made it easy for us to update the signage right from our computers and rely on StrandVision to automatically update the displays.”

“BEASD is making good use of the StrandVision system by extending it beyond the student marketing during the school day to meet its particular needs and reach the general community,” said Mike Strand, StrandVision founder and CEO. “They’ve taken advantage of the system’s flexibility to get the greatest return. BEASD had well-defined objectives that they translated into an effective system that supports its educational and community missions.”

One Seattle Power Mom is Making a Difference at Your Childs School with Cutting-Edge New Fundraising Company, SwopBoard

Seattle, Wash. (PRWEB) October 07, 2013

Local start-up pro and power-Mom Natalie Angelillo (co-founder of Seattle’s award-winning Swink Style Bar) unveils a visionary look into buying, selling, wanting, and giving back with all-new company SwopBoard, an online community marketplace. SwopBoard lets parents put the items they have directly in front of people who really need them, in their schools, neighborhoods, and cities. It provides a trusted network for families to buy and sell, with a portion of each transaction going directly to their schools.

According to the Association of Fundraising Distributors and Suppliers (AFRDS), 94% of principals say their schools rely on fundraising, and Family Circle Magazine reported that many parents “worry that volunteering will require more time than they can commit, so they rule it out altogether,” clearly putting school needs and parent bandwidth at odds. SwopBoard offers parents a revolution, an opportunity to take typical household de-cluttering and turn it into charity. Plus, it’s simple to use.

“You no longer have to wait until spring-cleaning time or garage sales to get rid of old things,” said CEO and Founder Angelillo. “Families can engage in everyday philanthropy, keep things out of the landfill, and strengthen their communities by selling items they no longer need on SwopBoard.”

Unique to its perceived competitors, SwopBoard connects community members who, generally speaking, share similar lifestyles, increasing the chances of finding the right buyer and purchasing what users really need. “Initial users have found excitement in selling large items that cannot be shipped easily, saving on holiday decorations and winter sports gear for fast-growing kids – not to mention earning for their school,” Angelillo commented.

With its easy, good-for-the-planet re-commerce model, SwopBoard makes a difference for schools in three ways:


    Buy: After creating a SwopBoard account, users can access their marketplace and search for items in their school, neighborhood, and/or city. They can email sellers with questions via SwopBoard’s message system, share a listing on social media, and pay for the item on the secure site with a credit card, debit card, or PayPal.

    Sell: It is free to list an item and there are no shipping fees if users are selling to someone in their immediate community, which also eliminates interactions with strangers. SwopBoard serves as a powerful tool for users selling items that people in their community would want, like uniforms, furniture, textbooks, instruments, electronics, sports equipment, or clothes.

    Want: If users are looking for something specific, they can ask their community by using the simple “I Want” function. If someone sells the item they listed on their Want list, they will be notified via email.

For more information and to begin connecting with community members to benefit schools, visit http://www.SwopBoard.com.

ABOUT NATALIE ANGELILLO:

SwopBoard was founded in 2013 by startup pro Natalie Angelillo when she needed to sell a large American Girl dollhouse and buy her son ski boots by the end of the week. She was inspired to build a place where users could put items for sale in front of people who actually need them, and donate to their schools in the process.

Angelillo has over 20 years of experience in shaping growth and development strategies, plotting new markets, and securing key venture capital. She is also the founder and co-owner of Swink Style Bar, Seattle’s premier blow dry bar, and has held c-level positions at Getty Images, PhotoDisc, and PhotoZone.

ABOUT SWOPBOARD

SwopBoard is an online community marketplace that allows users to put the items they have directly in front of the people who need them – in their schools, neighborhoods, and in their cities. Users can buy and sell items in a focused, trusted group of people, with a portion of each transaction going directly to a school on their behalf. Learn more at http://www.SwopBoard.com

This system will allow students to further enhance and cultivate their talents, skills, and inclinations. Teachers will be given another opportunity to boost their students confidence and self-esteem. These school bulletin boards can be artistically decorated as to grab and retain other peoples attention.

Indeed, school bulletin boards are becoming more and more popular. They play vital roles not only in extra-curricular vents in students lives, but in their education and self-improvement as well.
