  • NanoViricides Measles Drug Development Animal Study is Imminent

    NanoViricides Measles Drug Development Animal Study is Imminent

    SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc., a publicly traded company (NYSE Amer.:NNVC) (the “Company”), and a clinical stage, leading global pioneer in the development of broad-spectrum antivirals based on host-mimetic nanomedicine technology that viruses cannot escape, announces that it is forging ahead with its Measles drug development program.

    The Company has commissioned an animal trial to evaluate certain drug candidates in a lethal animal infection model. The Company has secured specially modified mice that bear the human form of CD150/SLAM protein that the Measles virus requires to enter cells. The Company will initiate the study as soon as the animals arrive and are acclimatized at the animal study laboratory.

    “NV-387 actually cured lethal RSV infection in animals, and Measles is a cousin of RSV,” said Anil R. Diwan, Ph.D., President and Executive Chairman of the Company, adding, “This gives us confidence that NV-387 will have strong activity against Measles virus as well.”

    NV-387 is a clinical stage broad-spectrum antiviral drug that is designed to act as a decoy of a cell, attacking the virus by presenting to it the very features that the virus requires for binding to the cell, and upon binding, destroying the virus particle so it cannot infect. Over 90-95% of human pathogenic viruses require the sulfated proteoglycan feature that NV-387 presents to the virus.

    There is no approved drug for the treatment of Measles virus infection. Recently, CDC included Vitamin A as part of the standard of care for Measles infection. Vitamin A is known to help malnourished children with Measles, but its role as supplementary addition to non-deficient patients is not known. CDC also recommended use of ribavirin in extreme cases as a last resort. Ribavirin is a toxic nucleoside analog and is not approved for treatment of Measles.

    Thus there is a clear unmet need for a Measles drug. NV-387, a clinical stage drug can be rapidly developed to meet this need. The animal study of effectiveness of NV-387 in h-SLAM-modified mice will provide important information regarding potential human effectiveness of NV-387 to treat Measles virus infection.

    Measles outbreaks have continued to expand in the US, reaching a record 1,088 confirmed cases across 33 jurisdictions from January 1 through May 29, 2025 according to CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/measles/data-research/index.html). Europe has witnessed a dramatic ten-fold increase in measles cases last year, i.e. 2024, over 2023.

    Measles vaccination rates have been declining in the USA since the COVID pandemic, according to a June 3, 2025 Johns Hopkins University news report (https://hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/03/united-states-measles-vaccination-rate-declines/). The average county-level MMR vaccination rate in the USA fell from 93.92% pre-pandemic to 91.26% post-pandemic, moving well below the 95% herd immunity threshold that is generally regarded as providing community or herd immunity.

    Additionally, Measles vaccine failure cases have also been increasing according to the European data, which is an important cause for concern. It is likely that the increase in vaccine failure rate may be due to the increase in a new genotype, D8 of the Measles virus, replacing the previous dominant B3 genotype. The B3 genotype is closer to the Measles vaccine live attenuated Enders-Edmonton “Moraten” strain that has been used in the USA since 1968.

    The changing genotypes suggest that the Measles virus is likely drifting away from the current vaccine.

    In this global scenario, NV-387, the clinical stage broad-spectrum, host-mimetic antiviral nanomedicine drug could perhaps be the only currently available drug candidate to combat the Measles virus and disease.

    Measles cases in Europe were over 35,000 in 2024, an almost ten-fold increase from 2023, according to the annual report of European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). Only approximately 87% of cases were in unvaccinated persons, and 13% of the cases were of vaccine failure, out of the cases with known vaccination status.

    The significant Measles vaccine failure rate observed in Europe is alarming, considering that the two-dose vaccine is supposed to be 97% effective. Overall, childhood vaccination in Europe was about 94% and declining. This rate is below the 95% considered the threshold for achieving “herd” or community immunity.

    Given the various causes of vaccine failure, and of vaccine hesitancy, attaining 95% vaccine coverage cannot be considered a very probable solution for combating the Measles epidemic. An effective drug is needed to combat the epidemic.

  • Irish Boxer Turned Pop Culture Star Ends 16 Year Hiatus, Returns Oct. 12 Against WBC’s 18th-Ranked, Promoter Confirms

    Irish Boxer Turned Pop Culture Star Ends 16 Year Hiatus, Returns Oct. 12 Against WBC’s 18th-Ranked, Promoter Confirms

    DUBLIN, IE / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / Undefeated Irish boxer turned US Billboard Charting and multi-platinum artist Marc Mysterio (3-0, 2 KOs as pro) – his 2006-2009 BoxRec profile application pending – and 10-0-1 amateur standout under the late Gregory Leschishin of USA Boxing – tragically killed last month by a carjacker, according to Yahoo – resumes his world title quest with a clean bill of health after a 15+ year hiatus from the sport.

    Following a preliminary mutual understanding, Marc Mysterio is set to face the WBC’s 18th-ranked Serhiy Radchenko (11-8-0, 5 KOs) on Oct. 12, 2025, in “Irish Pride vs. Ukrainian Glory: Marc Mysterio v. Radchenko,” promoter Ville Ruutu of World Class Promotions (WCP) confirmed Wednesday. “WBC Ukraine President Mykola Kovalchuk played a key role in facilitating this mutual understanding, as shown by his initial WhatsApp response, ‘I think Radchenko should take the fight,’ and we remain grateful for his support.”

    A 2009 basketball injury paused Mysterio’s boxing, sparking a music career with hits alongside David Guetta, Avicii, Samantha Fox, Crash Test Dummies and Flo Rida, including “The Dancefloor” which entered the U.S. Billboard charts, plus TMZ, Radar Online, and Perez Hilton buzz, Miami Herald and Boston Globe coverage, and “Trailer Park Boys” fame culminating in 81,000,000+ streams from 15,000,000 listeners during September 2023-September 2024, resulting in over 1,250,000+ Fans and 15,000+ Super Fans on Amazon Music.

    Last year, he challenged Jake Paul to replace semi-retired opponent Ryan Bourland with himself in a February bout in Puerto Rico – backed by the IBA’s former chairman who volunteered to sanction the proposed bout for their vacant super cruiserweight intercontinental championship – covered by the UK’s Daily Express and The Irish Star, with Mysterio even posting read-receipts of his team’s emails to Nakisa Biderian of MVP Promotions on his X account, @marc_mysterio.

    “I’m back to finish what I started,” Mysterio declared. “On Oct. 12, every Irish fan must join this pilgrimage – Ukrainians will rally for Radchenko. It’s Irish pride versus Ukrainian glory!”

    2010 WBC Trainer of the Year Gabriel Sarmiento has recently been working with Mysterio in the months prior to Coach Greg’s death, and will travel to Ireland for Marc’s pre-fight camp. “Marc’s skill reflects decades of work and has adapted well to my coaching,” Sarmiento said. “He’ll prove that he is both a machine and a legitimate contender – I believe Marc will dominate Radchenko.”

    Radchenko, a former WBC silver Bridgerweight champion, has faced undisputed light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol and WBC Bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena in May 2025. “I fight for Ukraine’s glory – Slava Ukraini!” Radchenko has stated previously, translated from Ukrainian, reflecting his enduring inspiration.

    Jill Diamond, WBC secretary and WBC Cares global chairwoman, was quoted by the UK’s Daily Express last year, “Marc Mysterio is a force in music and boxing and, moreover, a friend of the WBC and WBC Cares. We support his efforts.”

    “At present, I look forward to donating a portion of my purse to WBC Cares, as well as tickets to the event for local disabled children,” Mysterio notes, confirming his support of the charitable organization and youth.

    “Speaking personally, not for the DFA or Irish government, Marc inspires Ireland by blending boxing, music, and philanthropy, overcoming countless obstacles after his injury and the recent loss of his lifelong coach – embodying the essence of Irish pride in my view,” said David Costello, an Irish diplomat and former head of mission to several countries.

    “On May 26, at the request of WBC Ukraine President Mykola Kovalchuk, we sent a letter to WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman seeking sanctioning for the Mysterio-Radchenko bout as a ranked fight under WBC rules, including proof of a venue hold for Oct. 12 at one of Europe’s top 10 indoor arenas by 2024 ticket sales, as required for sanctioning,” Ville Ruutu said. “With Irish and Ukrainian fans competing for scarce tickets, broadcasters like Netflix, ESPN, ESPN+, DAZN and Sky Sports are vying for exclusive rights – possibly drawn by Marc’s ESPN ‘First Take’ tie, when Stephen A. Smith chose ‘Be The Truth’ for the show in 2016, and Netflix ‘Trailer Park Boys’ connection. This will influence our decision, though not decisively. We’ll prioritize the networks’ coverage of this landmark bout from now to early July over financial incentives, aiming for the best long-term outcome for both fighters and the Bridgerweight division. Broadcast partners will be revealed at the mid-July press conference.”

    The official venue, pre-sale ticket date, broadcast partners and event sponsors unveil will occur at a mid-July press conference at which WCP anticipates, in light of both boxers statements, the live appearances of both warriors – as well as the official contract signing to formalize the bout – at a location, date and time to be announced in an early July press release.

    “I’ll fight Radchenko on Oct. 12, with or without WBC sanctioning as a ranked fight. Defeating the 18th-ranked boxer – who entered May 2025 as silver champion – basically guarantees me a top-25 WBC Bridgerweight world ranking – sanctioning should be a mere formality of that result! This is a professional 10-round fight, three-minute rounds, no matter what! I am also volunteering to enter the WBC Clean Program aimed at eradicating PEDs from the sport, required for top 15 rankings in WBC. Finally, I aim to pioneer Bridgerweight, like Holyfield did for cruiserweight, a division ripe with talent, but lacking prestige to casual fans before his charismatic championship reign that paved the road for guys like Usyk, a friend of Radchenko – It all starts Oct. 12 – I just wish that Coach Greg was still here to witness it,” Mysterio concludes.

    Those wishing to obtain media credentials for the press conference and/or interactive livestream should immediately provide their credentials to the media contact listed below.

    Irish-Canadian undefeated boxer (3-0, 2 KOs) turned multi-platinum artist, with 81 million Amazon Music streams and 15 million listeners (September 2023-September 2024), now fully recovered from injury to resume his career, trained by Gabriel Sarmiento.

    Cerrado Gold Appoints Alonso Lujan as Vice President Exploration

    • Proven track record of discovery, resource and production expansion

    • Demonstrated success in both the Deseado Massif and the Iberian Pyrite Belt

    TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / Cerrado Gold Inc. (TSXV:CERT)(OTCQX:CRDOF)(FRA:BAI0) (“Cerrado” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Alonso Lujan to the position of Vice President Exploration effective June 1, 2025. Mr. Lujan has over 34 years of international experience in mineral exploration with a proven track record for discovery, resource and production expansion. After joining Cerrado as a consultant in February 2025, Mr. Lujan has now been appointed Vice President of Exploration.

    Most recently Mr. Lujan spent eight years with Sierra Metals (“Sierra”) as Vice President Exploration where he led the significant expansion of the mineral resources across their mines by 25 million ounces of silver and 300 million pounds of copper. As the General Manager for Sierra’s Mexican operations, he successfully expanded production and lowered the All-In-Sustaining-Cost (“AISC”). Prior to Sierra, he spent six years with Matsa-Trafigura as the General Manager where he led the discovery of 50 million tonnes of additional mineral resources in less than two years, and doubled production from 2.2 to 4.6 million tonnes per year, which led to the growth in value of the operation from US$300 million to US$1.6 billion. Prior to that, he worked with Hochschild Mining and Minas de Bacis SA de CV, in the Deseado Massiff, where his exploration and operational expertise led to increased production.

    Mark Brennan, Executive Chairman, commented: “On behalf of the Board and Management teams, I would like to welcome Alonso to the team. He is a proven professional with a strong history of finding and expanding mineral resources and increasing production output. His experience in the Deseado Massif has provided a new perspective for a well planned and solid exploration program for the current 20,000 metre drill program about to begin at Minera Don Nicolas. The primary objective of the drill program is to add additional resources to extend the mine life at MDN. Additionally, his strong experience and record while working in the Iberian Pyrite Bet, will benefit the Company by potentially assisting in increasing the resource base and improving output as we continue to advance and develop the Lagoa Salgada VMS project.”

    About Cerrado

  • Alpha Alternative Assets Fund Update

    Alpha Alternative Assets Fund Update

    LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / Alpha Growth Plc, a leading financial services company in the life insurance-linked asset/wealth management business, is pleased to provide the following update for its group company, Alpha Growth Management LLC.

    Alpha Growth Management LLC, a specialist in esoteric and longevity-based investments, announces a performance and strategy update for the Alpha Alternative Assets Fund (Nasdaq: I Shares – AAACX and A Shares – AACAX) since the firm assumed management in September 2022.

    Strategic Transition and Investment Focus
    In September 2022, Alpha Growth Management LLC took over as investment adviser for AAAF, implementing a new strategy centered on longevity and esoteric assets. The fund now targets structured settlement receivables, legal finance, life settlements, royalties, and other unconventional assets designed to deliver low correlation to traditional markets and offer unique risk premiums. This approach leverages Alpha Growth’s extensive expertise in sourcing and managing assets that are typically inaccessible to most investors with limited quarterly liquidity through the interval fund structure.

    Performance Overview: September 2022 – May 2025

    • Trailing twelve months (1 year) as of 5/31/2025: AAAF continued its positive momentum, posting a 7.44% net return.

    • 2024: AAAF continued its positive momentum, posting a 5.85% return year-to-date as of December 31, 2024. This performance outpaced its benchmark, which returned 3.60% during the same period.

    • 2023: The fund achieved a positive annual return of 1.99% for the full year 2023, marking a turnaround from prior declines and reflecting early benefits of the revised investment approach.

    • 2022 (Post-Transition Partial Year): Following the management change, AAAF returned -1.24% for the period ending September 30, 2022, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, which returned -5.14% in the same period.

    Key Differentiators and Portfolio Construction

    • Dual-Strategy Approach: AAAF employs a dual-sleeve structure, balancing illiquid longevity assets with a liquid sleeve to manage cash flow and provide quarterly repurchase offers.

    • Diversification and Risk Management: The fund’s portfolio is constructed to minimize correlation with traditional equity and bond markets, offering investors potential refuge from broader market volatility.

    • Quarterly Liquidity: As an interval fund, AAAF provides quarterly repurchase offers, allowing investors periodic access to liquidity while maintaining exposure to less liquid, potential higher-yielding assets.

    Industry Context

    AAAF’s recent performance demonstrates the potential of alternative strategies to deliver value in a challenging and evolving investment environment. The fund’s focus on longevity and esoteric assets positions it within the interval fund landscape, providing access to asset classes traditionally reserved for institutional investors.

    About Alpha Growth Management LLC
    Alpha Growth Management LLC is a US-registered investment adviser specializing in alternative investment strategies, with a focus on esoteric and longevity assets. The firm is committed to delivering innovative portfolio solutions that provide diversification and enhanced return opportunities for investors.

    About Alpha Growth plc

    Specialist in Longevity Assets

    Alpha Growth plc is a financial advisory business providing specialist consultancy, advisory, and supplementary services to institutional and qualified investors globally in the multi-billion dollar market of longevity assets and insurance linked asset and wealth management. Building on its well-established network, the Alpha Growth group has a unique position in the insurance and asset services and investment business, as a listed entity with global reach. The group’s strategy is to expand its advisory and business services via acquisitions and joint ventures in the UK and the US to attain commercial scale and provide holistic solutions to alternative institutional investors who are in need of specialized skills and unique access to deploy their financial resource in longevity assets.

    Longevity Assets and Non-correlation

    As a longevity asset, it is non-correlated to the real estate, equity capital and commodity markets. Its value is a function of time because as time passes the value gets closer to the face value of the policy. Hence creating a steady increase in the net asset value of the investment. This makes it highly attractive to investors wishing to counteract volatility within an investment portfolio and add yield.

    Note: The Company only advises on and manages Longevity Assets that originate in the USA where the structured and life settlement market is highly regulated.

    Important Disclosures

    THIS IS NEITHER AN OFFER TO SELL NOR A SOLICITATION TO PURCHASE ANY SECURITY. INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES OF THE ALPHA ALTERNATIVE ASSETS FUND.

    IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION: Investing in esoteric assets involves unique risks, distinct from those associated with traditional asset classes. These risks may include, but are not limited to, liquidity risk, market risk, regulatory risk, and valuation risk. Investors should be aware that the value of esoteric assets may fluctuate, and there is a possibility of partial or total loss of investment. Investors should be aware that these assets may not align with traditional risk models, leading to increased volatility and heightened sensitivity to external factors. Before engaging in esoteric asset investments, it is advisable for investors to thoroughly understand the associated risks, seek professional guidance, and stay informed about market developments. Due diligence is crucial, as thorough research and expert advice are essential to navigating the complexities associated with esoteric assets. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and the unique characteristics of esoteric assets require careful consideration and a well-informed investment strategy.

    Investing in the Fund’s shares involves risks, including the following: The Fund’s shares have limited pricing or performance history. Shares of the Fund will not be listed on any securities exchange, which makes them inherently illiquid. There is no secondary market for the Fund’s shares, and it is not anticipated that a secondary market will develop. The shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Although the Fund will offer to repurchase at least 5% of outstanding shares on a quarterly basis in accordance with the Fund’s repurchase policy, the Fund will not be required to repurchase shares at a shareholder’s option nor will shares be exchangeable for units, interests or shares of any security. The Fund is not required to extend, and shareholders should not expect the Fund’s Board of Trustees to authorize, repurchase offers in excess of 5% of outstanding shares. Regardless of how the Fund performs, an investor may not be able to sell or otherwise liquidate his or her shares whenever such investor would prefer and, except to the extent permitted under the quarterly repurchase offer, will be unable to reduce his or her exposure on any market downturn. If and to the extent that a public trading market ever develops, shares of closed-end investment companies, such as the Fund, may have a tendency to trade frequently at a discount from their NAV per share and initial offering prices. An investment in the Fund’s shares is not suitable for investors who cannot tolerate risk of loss or who require liquidity, other than liquidity provided through the Fund’s repurchase policy. Alternative investments are highly speculative and involve a great degree of risk and are not suitable for all investors. Full loss of principal is possible. The fund may engage in the use of leverage and other speculative investment practices, such as short sales, options, derivatives, futures and illiquid investments that may increase the risk of investment loss. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost.

    IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS: Esoteric Assets: Esoteric Assets refer to debts or other financial instruments with a complex structure that is properly understood by only a few people with specialized knowledge.

    Litigation Finance, also known as third-party litigation funding, is a financial arrangement where a third party provides capital to a plaintiff or defendant in a lawsuit, in exchange for a share of any resulting settlement or judgment.

    Correlation refers to the degree to which the price of a particular asset or investment moves to the overall stock market.

    A Life Settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a third party for a lump-sum payment, typically more than the policy’s cash surrender value but less than the death benefit. The buyer becomes the new policy owner and beneficiary.

    Structured Settlements are legal settlements paid out as an annuity rather than in a lump sum, usually with certain tax advantages for the recipient and savings for the payer.

    A Royalty Deal is an agreement where someone receives a payment, typically a percentage of revenue or a fixed amount per unit, for the use of their property, intellectual property, or assets.

    SPE or Special Purpose Entity, is a legal entity (often a limited company) created to fulfill specific or temporary objectives, often used to isolate financial risks or manage specific asset.

    Non-Bid: A contract awarded or executed without seeking bids or proposals from any other potential bidder or offerer.

    Non Flow: Unlike equities that may pay out no cash flows to investors, or variable-income securities, where payments can change based on some underlying measure, such as short-term interest rates, the payments of a fixed-income security are known in advance and remain fixed throughout.

    Non-Market:: Not relating to or influenced by the demand of people to buy certain things or the supply of things to be purchased.

    Non-Auctioned: Do not participate in a formal auction for the securities but instead accept the market price set by other participants.

    Non-Brokered:: A company sells the security directly to investors. By doing this, the company can forgo the fees and hassle of hiring a broker (often an investment bank) and maintains more control over the selling process.

    Alpha: Alpha is used in finance as a measure of performance, indicating when a strategy, trader, or portfolio manager has managed to beat the market return or other benchmark over some period.

    DIVERSIFICATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE AGAINST A LOSS.

    BEFORE INVESTING YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FUND’S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES. THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION IS IN THE PROSPECTUS, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM ALPHAGROWTHMGT.COM. PLEASE READ THE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INVEST.

    EquityMultiple Announces Successful Funding of Multifamily Development in Charlotte

    NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / EquityMultiple, a leading real estate investment platform for accredited investors, recently closed a $3 million co-GP equity investment in the development of Poindexter Southend, a 263-unit Class A multifamily and mixed-use property in the South End neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. Led by seasoned Sponsor Avery Hall Investments, the project will deliver a luxury eight-story residential building with 1,200 square feet of retail, surrounded by vibrant nightlife, retail, and transit access.

    The investment took nine days to fund, and is one of the fastest-funded investments in EquityMultiple’s decade-long history. “The strength and experience of the Sponsor coupled with the attractive going-in basis in a great infill location all contributed to the success and speed of the raise,” said Marious Sjulsen, EquityMultiple’s CIO. “The site is shovel-ready, and construction is expected to begin as soon as the loan closes. We are excited to be part of this project with such a strong team.”

    The Poindexter Southend project represents an especially timely opportunity for investors. Charlotte remains one of the premier migration destinations in the U.S., with population growth twice the national average since 2010. The city also ranked #2 in U-Haul’s 2024 Migration Report, with an estimated 117 new residents per day, fueling continued housing demand. In the South End of Charlotte, where Poindexter Southend is located, this demand is concentrated among renters seeking walkable, amenity-rich neighborhoods with access to transit and employment hubs. Moreover, as an asset class, multifamily has seen a “flight to quality” after the rapid increase in rents post-COVID.

    Since its inception in 2015, and aided by its strategic partnership with Marcus & Millichap beginning in 2023, EquityMultiple has developed a targeted, institutional approach to the real estate crowdfunding concept. Through its nationwide network of over 60,000 self-directed investors, EquityMultiple has provided financing for hundreds of commercial real estate transactions, including Poindexter Southend, and distributes a comprehensive track record to investors containing metrics on all investments dating back to 2015. This year, the platform was selected as the “Best Real Estate Crowdfunding Site for Transparency” by Investopedia. Through its subsidiary EM Investment Partners (EMIP), EquityMultiple has also provided flexible capital markets solutions to dozens of sponsors and operators across the U.S. in various forms: JV equity (LP and co-GP); senior debt; mezzanine and subordinate debt; and preferred equity. The Poindexter Southend project is EquityMultiple’s first collaboration with Avery Hall Investments.

    About EquityMultiple

    EquityMultiple’s mission is to guide investors toward a stronger, more diversified portfolio. EquityMultiple brings accredited investors curated real estate private equity and private credit opportunities, broadening and streamlining access to CRE. Founded in 2015, EquityMultiple has completed 250 transactions totaling over $21 billion in total capitalization across 142 markets nationwide. For more information, visit equitymultiple.com.

  • High-Performance Ads Without the Hefty Price Tag: Good On Makes Paid Media Accessible

    High-Performance Ads Without the Hefty Price Tag: Good On Makes Paid Media Accessible

    In an industry where ad agencies are known for long timelines and even longer invoices, Good On is making a bold move: offering expert ad management starting at just $1,500/month, with end-to-end campaigns live in 10 business days or less. It’s the latest evolution from one of the Bay Area’s fastest-growing growth marketing agencies, built to help startups and scaling brands punch above their weight.

    With this new offering, Good On is making it easier than ever for startups to access the same performance-driven advertising used by the biggest brands, without bloated retainers or cookie-cutter media plans. “Startups are tired of being overcharged and underserved,” says founder Shriya Prasanna. “We designed this tier to give them what they actually need: expert strategy, multi-platform execution, and real revenue results, with none of the fluff.”

    Good On’s ad management services span the entire digital ecosystem, Google, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), LinkedIn and TikTok, and campaigns are customized based on each brand’s unique goals, funnel, and audience behavior. Whether it’s a LinkedIn campaign targeting B2B buyers or TikTok ads built to drive eCommerce sales, every campaign is grounded in strategy, backed by data, and executed by a senior team of specialists.

    “We don’t just launch ads, we launch the right ads, in the right places, to the right people,” explains Prasanna. “And we make sure every dollar works hard.”

    Each campaign includes strategy, creative direction, media buying, audience targeting, testing, optimization, and reporting, making Good On one of the few agencies offering full-funnel campaign management starting at such an accessible rate.

    Good On’s approach is deliberately focused: paid media, performance creative, and high-converting landing pages. This trio forms the backbone of every successful campaign, ensuring that ads don’t just drive clicks, they drive conversions and long-term growth. “We’ve intentionally chosen to go deep, not wide,” says Prasanna. “Because when you get these three right, ads, creative, and conversion, you scale smarter, faster, and more profitably.”

    Every campaign launched by Good On goes through a full-funnel process: strategy-first media buying, scroll-stopping creative assets built to perform, and custom landing pages optimized to convert visitors into customers.

    This model is what helped Good On client Orian Riding Store achieve a 12.3x return on ad spend (ROAS) in under three months, one of many success stories that prove what happens when startups have access to high-level execution.

    Good On was founded in 2022 by Indian entrepreneur Shriya Prasanna, who created the agency as a think tank-style alternative to traditional marketing firms. With prior experience at startups and global corporations alike, she launched Good On to bridge a gap: providing elite strategy and performance without enterprise red tape or costs.

    Her entrepreneurial roots run deep, launching a fashion startup at 17 and freelancing in marketing at 18. During the pandemic, she saw firsthand how many small brands were priced out of quality advertising and set out to change that. Today, Good On reflects her mission: making expert marketing more accessible, more transparent, and more effective for brands that need to grow fast.

    “Everything we do is built around what I wish I had as a founder,” says Prasanna. “No bloated timelines, no bloated budgets, just high-performance ads that drive growth.”

    Good On’s fully remote team combines experts from top companies like Google, LinkedIn, and Publicis, with specialists in media buying, creative production, CRO, and analytics. The agency’s tight-knit structure allows for fast execution, agile testing, and true cross-functional collaboration, qualities that set it apart in a traditionally slow-moving industry.

    With over 50 clients served across industries, from eCommerce and SaaS to lifestyle and emerging tech, Good On has built a reputation for transparency, speed, and real results.

    “We’re not trying to be everything to everyone,” Prasanna says. “We’re focused on helping the right brands grow with ads that actually perform.”

    Whether one is a bootstrapped founder looking to test a new product or a venture-backed startup ready to scale across multiple channels, Good On’s $1,500 plan is built to grow in parallel. Founders can start with one platform and scale across others as momentum builds, all with a trusted team behind them.

    The agency also offers larger retainers for brands needing full creative production, landing pages, or CRO testing, ensuring each brand gets exactly what they need, and nothing they don’t.

    Good On offers a no-pressure intro call, which includes a full audit of the current ad funnel, personalized strategy recommendations, and a breakdown of how Good On can get campaigns live in two weeks or less.

  • Let Music Fill My World Expands Music Education at Parmelee Avenue Elementary School with New Teacher Hire

    Let Music Fill My World Expands Music Education at Parmelee Avenue Elementary School with New Teacher Hire

    LOS ANGELES, CA AND CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / Let Music Fill My World, a nonprofit dedicated to enriching children’s lives through music education, is proud to announce its partnership with Parmelee Avenue Elementary School to expand the school’s music program. Through this collaboration, Let Music Fill My World has funded the hiring of a dedicated music teacher starting full-time in July for a three-year period, ensuring that students receive consistent, quality music instruction and opportunities to develop their musical talents.

    Let Music Fill My World was introduced to Parmelee Elementary through a referral from last year’s individual winner of the Music Matters Challenge, Jesse Robitalle, who identified the school as being in need of musical support. This connection enabled the nonprofit to bring meaningful musical resources to a deserving community.

    Music education has long been underfunded in schools, leaving many students without access to the creative and developmental benefits of learning music. Studies have shown that music education enhances cognitive abilities, improves academic performance, and fosters social and emotional growth. Music education is also correlated with a range of 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, creativity, innovation and collaboration. Unfortunately, budget constraints have led to the reduction or elimination of music programs in many schools, particularly in under-resourced communities.

    Let Music Fill My World is actively working to change this reality. By partnering with schools like Parmelee Avenue Elementary and hosting the Music Matters Challenge, they are ensuring that students receive the music education they deserve. The newly hired music teacher will help students imagine what is possible through the imagination and creative thinking sparked in the classroom.

    In his recent book The Life Impossible, Matt Haig spotlighted music: “She explained her love of music to me. ‘It makes the world bigger, she said […] ‘I feel like I am trapped in a box sometimes and when I am playing piano or singing, I break out of that box for a while. Music to me is like a friend that comes in just when you need it.”

    According to Cayley Tull, co-founder of Let Music Fill My World and president of the Tullman Family Office, music education unlocks more than meaningful connection. “Academic and technical skills alone are not enough to prepare our youth for the demands of the 21st-century workplace. Regular access to high-quality music and arts education expands the tools students need to succeed in school, work and life.”

    “Feeling music is a powerful force that allows you to dream. A full-time music teacher will empower our Parmelee Scholars to believe, achieve and set goals for the future,” says Principal Ferguson, Principal of Parmelee.

    “I had the chance to sing for the students at Parmelee last Christmas, and their energy and spirit were unforgettable,” says Jesse Robitaille, the 2024 winner of the Music Matters Challenge. “As an under-resourced school, every child there deserves the chance to grow through music, and I’m honored this grant will help make that possible. Thank you, LMFMW, for investing in their future.”

    The expansion of Parmelee Avenue Elementary’s music program is just one of many initiatives Let Music Fill My World is undertaking to bring the magic of music to more students. The nonprofit continues to seek new partnerships and funding opportunities to support music education in schools across the country.

    ABOUT LET MUSIC FILL MY WORLD:

    “Let Music Fill My World” was born in 2023 when Tullman Family Office (TFO) teamed up with Grammy-nominated artist John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting to empower students at Farragut Career Academy in Chicago. Ondrasik and eight students co-wrote the song, with the students contributing the lyrics, passionately expressing their personal connection to music. Despite evidence showing that music programs boost test scores, reduce disciplinary issues, and improve graduation rates, arts education continues to face cuts in lower-income urban schools, often being the first to go during budget constraints. “Let Music Fill My World” is on a mission to change that, supporting sustainable music funding and changing lives in the process.

    ABOUT FIVE FOR FIGHTING / JOHN ONDRASIK:

    In the two decades since Five for Fighting’s first major single, “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” hit the stratosphere, Five For Fighting (aka John Ondrasik), has released six studio LPs, including the platinum-certified “America Town” and “The Battle for Everything;” and the top-10 charting “Two Lights,” along with an EP and live albums. A post 9-11 anthem, Ondrasik performed “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” at the 2001 Concert for New York, a benefit show at Madison Square Garden that honored first responders and the fallen about a month after the tragic September 11th attacks. Ondrasik has penned major hits, including the chart-topping “100 Years,” “The Riddle,” “Chances,” “World,” and “Easy Tonight,” which have earned tens of millions of streams and placed him as a top-10 Hot Adult Contemporary artist for the 2000s. The reflective “100 Years” has joined “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” as part of the American Songbook and continues to stand the test of time. Five For Fighting’s music has also been featured in more than 350 films, television shows, and commercials, including the Oscar-winning “The Blind Side,” “Hawaii Five-O,” “The Sopranos,” and the CBS drama, “Code Black.” For more information visit: www.fiveforfighting.com.
