NY Weekly Staff on June 15, 2022

Being a dentist is not easy and comes with many challenges and difficulties. First, dentists have to study for years to enter the field for their degree. Once they become dentists, they face new challenges such as working long hours, dealing with complex patients, and managing a variety of different dental procedures. However, being a dentist also has its rewards. Dentists are able to help people achieve aesthetic smiles and improve their overall quality of life. In addition, dentists often develop strong relationships with their patients and staff, which can be very satisfying. Although being a dentist is not easy, it can be an enriching career.

As a result, dentistry is a profession that offers both challenges and rewards.

Aleksandr Sergeev and Marat Zhanabekov are Revolutionizing Digital Marketing with Push Notification Solution, nGrow.ai

NY Weekly Staff on June 15, 2022

Marketing to customers and prospective customers in the modern world has evolved massively. There are different strategies for direct marketing, and push notification is one of the most effective. Aleksandr Sergeev is one of the active players changing how push notifications are delivered to audiences, and he’s doing it through nGrow.ai, the low–code SaaS tool for push notification marketing.

nGrow.ai thrives on its founder’s wealth of experience as a marketing director from a top 1 IT company at CIS. Aleksandr Sergeev is a tech co-founder with over eight years of experience building artificial intelligence (AI) products for marketing across more than forty applications. Since January 2021, when nGrow became operational, the platform now delivers 200 million notifications daily with a consistent monthly growth rate of 30%. The company is backed by Y Combinator and has ex-Amplitude COO and former Google advisors on board.

Customers have enjoyed up to 30% incremental revenue growth since they adopted nGrow, and now many small and medium applications are adopting this solution as it gives them the ability to send personalized push notifications without developing an entirely new integration. nGrow basically gives small marketing and product teams all they need to communicate with the users effectively with push campaigns.

nGrow is a valuable tool for apps in different niches such as utility, e-commerce, food delivery, productivity, games, subscription applications and a host of other applications looking for long-term retention. The company sets itself apart from competitors by completing each integration within a week compared to the three months that other companies deliver. nGrow’s solution also does not require writing code, as the mobile application gets the personalized push notifications feature without code or building anything on their end. nGrow also takes away the need to hire a lifecycle marketing specialist as its customers can deploy personalized messages to their users directly.

Building nGrow was motivated by a need to deliver more relevant and effective push notifications that users will not be driven to turn off. “I set out to create a new product based on behavioral data rather than market assumptions. It is a new one in that industry, and we are committed to helping people get a better communication experience,” Sergeev said.

In a few years, with nGrow’s current growth trajectory, Sergeev sees the company consistently championing the building of more solutions to reshape how marketers communicate with users.

He said, “We started with push notifications because it is the most profitable and impactful channel. But our approach with low code and AI automation will impact other channels like in-app notifications or email. Did you see those dry texts like ‘We are missing you, it’s time to order something’ or ‘Here is your x% discount for y product’? Is it really exciting to read? AI content generation approaches can already create something with a more human-like language. Implementing AI generation to communicate with users will drastically change the experience of notifications in the next five years, and we will be on top of these changes.”

NY Weekly Staff on June 15, 2022

Conquering a creative endeavor has proven to be one of the most challenging feats any visionary can accomplish. True enough, one must have the courage to face tens of thousands of other brilliant individuals and know exactly what to do to stand out and make an impact. Such is the case with author Kali Metis who has written a new novel, Cure. With its mystical flair and fresh storyline, the book keeps readers and fans on their toes.

In an interview, Kali Metis, whose real name is Lisa Kastner, shared what CURE is all about. According to the author, her recent book looks into the life of Luna Auber, an inquisitive soul who seeks to uncover the truth behind her brother’s alleged suicide. As she investigates the clues that he left, she goes on an adventure to Sweden and unravels their connection to a female Viking warrior named Birke. Then, one discovery after another, she learns that her heritage could be traced back to that of shapeshifters or lycanthropes.

Aside from being a brilliant author, Kali Metis is also acknowledged as the esteemed founder and executive editor of Running Wild Press. At its core, her company aims to address the industry gap that often makes it difficult for a lot of authors to get published. In an effort to facilitate success for aspirants and dreamers, she took it upon herself to create an avenue that would pave the way for more opportunities and possibilities. “I created Running Wild when my husband asked me what seemed to be a crazy question during our first date,” she revealed. “After I complained that I knew tons of brilliant authors who couldn’t get published and I didn’t understand why, he responded by suggesting I start my own company. And I figured, heck, why not?”

As someone who has always been passionate about helping others, Lisa Kastner then established RIZE, a publishing company that prioritizes great genre stories written by underrepresented groups.

As a result of her significant contributions to the publishing industry, Lisa Kastner was able to make her way to some of the most prestigious lists, such as Yahoo Finance’s Top 10 Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2021 and New York Weekly’s Top Ten Females to Watch in 2021. In addition, her enterprise was named in LA Wire’s Top 10 Businesses to Watch in 2021. She has also been nominated to Forbes’ Next 1000, a list of American self-funded entrepreneurs who continue to thrive during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Proving to be unstoppable at her game, Lisa Kastner intends to reach greater heights and continue inspiring other go-getters along the way. Heavily determined to create a long-lasting impact with her flourishing career, she wants to show everyone that anything is possible for those who are dauntless in the pursuit of their dreams.
