Rod Lenniger leaves iCrossing and teams up with Founder and CEO Jeff Herzog once again… this time the story is ZooLoo

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) February 1, 2009 -- Zog Media, the parent company of ZooLoo, announced today that Rod Lenniger, former senior executive at iCrossing, has joined the company as senior vice president. Lenniger will work in tandem with Founder and CEO, Jeff Herzog to further build a new way for the consumer to create, connect and control his or her life on the Internet.

Lenniger first teamed up with Herzog at iCrossing in 2004, when he was hired as the company's chief operating officer. Herzog founded iCrossing in Scottsdale in 1998, leading the company to become a top ten interactive agency with more than $100 million in annual revenue. After 10 years of working for global brands, Herzog left the firm and turned his focus on the consumer with his new venture, ZooLoo, in May 2008.

"We're always seeking the smartest people around the best ideas," said Herzog. "Rod has proven himself as a key executive, an industry player and someone who is enormously successful. He is an important addition to the ZooLoo team."

Lenniger brings more than 20 years of global business experience in a range of roles, from entrepreneur to Fortune 500 executive, with the last six years in the online advertising space. He is a former president and chairman of AZsoft.net, now the Arizona Technology Council and serves on the Governor's Information Technology Acquisition Council (ITAC) and the State's eLearning Task Force. A resident of Scottsdale, Lenniger earned a bachelor's degree from Fairleigh Dicknson University and a master's degree from the Columbia School of Business in New York City.

"Having worked with Jeff at iCrossing, I was able to personally experience his unequaled vision for the direction the industry would take and the resulting needs created around Internet users," said Lenniger. "When I saw what they were building with ZooLoo, I was blown away and knew I wanted to be part of the ZooLoo team."

So far, ZooLoo has been kept under wraps, with only a blog and a few other social marketing endeavors as the company works within its group of 200 private testers. The company plans to unveil its product to the public in the coming months. Currently, the ZooLoo team includes 18 employees of engineers, designers, programmers and marketers.

Broadcaster Hails the Changing Face of Media

Broadcaster Hails the Changing Face of Media

One company bucking the recession with rising share prices and big expansion plans are hailing the way the face of the media is changing….

(PRWEB) January 29, 2009 -- Glastonbury Broadcasting Ltd have been saying for some years that DAB is a dying source as the “Betamax of radio” and that online digital broadcasting is the future, and now it seems they are being proven correct as 54 million listeners a week are tuning into online radio broadcasts whilst DAB’s listeners and advertising continues to fall.

Internet Radio was once seen as “bedroom DJ’s” broadcasting form their homes, but in the past two years several large networks have changed the whole face on online broadcasting, bringing in large audiences and blue-chip advertisers who have seen the obvious benefits of an interactive audience who can surf to the advertiser’s website with credit card in hand, whilst listening to the broadcasts. Check out www.glastonburyradio.net

The BBC once stated that every letter, call or e-mail represents 1000 listeners as only 1 in every 1000 will contact a show. Online radio is seeing an interaction rate of 1 in 5 on the popular Glastonbury Radio network. “Advertisers would be foolish NOT to take notice of such statistics” says Managing Director Ross Hemsworth. Ross is a pioneer of online broadcasting having previously sold his previous venture “Net Talk Radio” and has been broadcasting shows online for many years. “When I started broadcasting online it was to three listeners and a cat, but I always knew THIS was the future and now we are seeing the changes across the whole face of broadcasting, with a trend towards online listening and viewing and with the Internet overtaking television as the nation’s favourite pastime”.

At a time when the world is entering a recession and TV and radio stations are struggling to survive, online broadcasters are seeing share prices rising and income increasing and £1 shares in Glastonbury Broadcasting are now selling at over £2000 a share and will probably be worth a lot more in years to come!

Glastonbury Broadcasting is now offering online broadcast facilities to retail outlets and franchised radio station packages to presenters and entrepreneurs who want to get in on the exciting future that online broadcasting represents. The company is also about to launch a new online TV service and a second radio station in the coming months! See more at “press releases” at our corporate website www.glastonburybroadcasting.net

As the world becomes closer through globalisation, the Internet offers broadcasters the chance to broadcast to a truly worldwide audience, and with motor manufacturers planning to install Internet into cars, most towns planning to go “WIFI” and faster broadband speeds becoming available, there is little doubt that Glastonbury Radio and Glastonbury Broadcasting Ltd is great story of success in a time of general business gloom.

BrightScope Launches First Online 401k Rating System and 401k Ratings Disclosure Website

BrightScope Launches First Online 401k Rating System and 401k Ratings Disclosure Website

BrightScope Ratings™ Evaluate 401k Plan Performance on Company Level for Plan Sponsors and Participants

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 29, 2009 -- BrightScope, Inc. (www.brightscope.com (www.brightscope.com)), an independent data analytics firm that provides 401k ratings and financial intelligence to plan sponsors and participants in all 50 states, today announced the launch of their 401k ratings disclosure website featuring the BrightScope Rating™, the nation's first online 401k rating system. The new BrightScope Rating debuted today at the 2009 Los Angeles Benefits Conference, co-sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries (ASPPA) and the National Institute of Pension Administrators (NIPA).

The new BrightScope Rating is a quantitative 401k plan rating developed by BrightScope, Inc. in partnership with some of the country's top independent fiduciaries, finance professors, and 401k experts. BrightScope Ratings take into account over 200 unique data inputs per plan and calculate a single numerical score to define 401k plan quality at the company level. The ratings algorithm runs thousands of simulations for each 401k plan in order to determine how quickly each plan will propel the average 401k participant to retirement. Using this rigorous approach, BrightScope ensures that every factor that affects retirement outcomes - such as company generosity, fees, investment menu quality, vesting schedules, and more - is accurately reflected in a company's rating. The site provides open access to 401k ratings, allowing anyone to compare any 401k plan with another.

"BrightScope is very intuitive yet backed by solid research. It's a powerful tool for those who approach investing as a science." said Dave Logan, best-selling author of "Tribal Leadership."

The timing couldn't be better. Powerful forces have begun to converge to create the perfect storm for 401k fiduciaries across the country. In 2009, the 401k fee issue will become a Congressional priority. From new proposed 401k legislation to subprime originations, investment banking conflicts, and excessive 401k fees, the bright light of regulators will be focused on punishing companies and individuals that have acted improperly. The economic crisis has caused 401k participants to lose trillions of dollars. According to Independent Fiduciary Matt Hutcheson, thirty percent of the Fortune 100 is now facing an ERISA lawsuit.

"The BrightScope Rating creates a new industry standard for evaluating and benchmarking 401k performance across the country and delivers online 401k performance transparency," explains Joshua P. Itzoe, a Principal of Greenspring Wealth Management and author of "Fixing the 401k: What Fiduciaries Must Know (And Do) To Help Employees Retire Successfully." "Increased transparency will ultimately be a boon for 401k plan sponsors and their participants."

HR professionals, Chief Financial Officers, brokers and employees alike can simply visit www.brightscope.com to review their company 401k plan and determine the relative quality of the plan when compared to a unique peer group with similar demographic characteristics. Peer groups are groups of 401k plans of roughly the same size and industry that are used to compare the quality of 401k plans. Using peer groups ensures that similar size and industry rating criteria are applied to each plan.

"BrightScope is on a mission to increase the retirement security of America's workforce by bringing transparency and efficiency to the 401k plan market," said BrightScope CEO, Mike Alfred. "We want to educate plan participants so that they can encourage their company to make decisions that maximize their retirement outlook. We also want to prevent plan sponsors from making uninformed choices that can negatively impact 401k performance. Plan sponsors who use BrightScope can demonstrate to their employees, their board, their retirement committee, and to regulators that they are taking the necessary steps to improve the quality of their 401k plan."

Leading human resource executives facing increasing pressure to be proactive and knowledgeable about the 401k plan that they are offering to their employees are already beginning to use BrightScope for 401k plan benchmarking, plan design optimization, fiduciary prudence, risk mitigation, and enhanced employee recognition and recruiting opportunities.

"BrightScope has provided PETCO with valuable insights into the true investment returns of the funds in our 401k program," said Julie Cunningham, PETCO Director of Total Rewards. "True transparency will allow us to negotiate more effectively to minimize hidden fees and to help maximize returns for our associates in helping them prepare for retirement."

BrightScope has reviewed and rated 1000 of the largest 401k plans in the country and expects to rate the plans of companies covering two out of every three employees by the end of 2009.

There is no charge for employees or employers to review their 401k plan rating. Companies can submit updated information about their 401k plan to refine their current rating and review BrightScope tips which can help them improve their plan rating over time.

Companies with 401k plans currently rated among the nation's best, according to BrightScope:

• Avis Budget Group, Inc. (http://www.brightscope.com/401k-rating/28771/Avis-Budget-Group-Inc/)

• Bank of New York Mellon (http://www.brightscope.com/401k-rating/44740/The-Bank-Of-New-York-Mellon-Corporation/)

• Nucor Corporation (http://www.brightscope.com/401k-rating/43962/Nucor-Corporation/)

• Southwest Airlines Company (http://www.brightscope.com/401k-rating/343176/Southwest-Airlines-Co/)

• Saudi Arabian Oil Company (http://www.brightscope.com/401k-rating/437686/Saudi-Arabian-Oil-Company/)

These highly rated plans represent some of the top plans within their respective peer groups, as measured in terms of plan size, number of participants and employee demographics. Participants contributing to these plans have a high likelihood of having a secure retirement.

To see detailed scores and attributes for the aforementioned leading 401k plans or to review your company 401k plan rating, visit www.brightscope.com.

About BrightScope

BrightScope is an independent data analytics firm that quantitatively rates 401k plans and gives employers, employees, and brokers tools to enhance plan performance and maximize retirement outlook. The BrightScope Rating ™, developed in partnership with leading independent 401k fiduciaries, reviews over 200 unique data inputs per plan and calculates a single numerical score which defines 401k plan quality at the company level.
