Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

BFM Digital is commemorating the first anniversary of BFM Jazz with a special compilation album, “A Year with BFM Jazz 2011,” featuring tracks from the labels top players including Steve Gadd and The Tierney Sutton Band.

Utilizing their established footprint in the digital marketplace with a network of more than 250 digital stores worldwide, BFM Digital created BFM Jazz to insure that talented and seasoned jazz musicians had a home and advocates for their music. As changes in the music industry were affecting major labels, BFM Jazz is built upon a commitment to support the creative community and distribute quality music.

BFM Jazz was created after years of working with some of the best names in Jazz through BFM Digital. Many of these artists self-released incredible albums with no label support to bring awareness to them. We launched BFM Jazz to offer full marketing, PR and radio support for these releases to help them reach their full potential, says Michele Ito, GM of BFM Jazz.

BFM Jazz kicked off a strong year with “Live at Voce,” a live album from one of the most influential drummers of all time, Steve Gadd & Friends. Gadd has recorded legendary drum tracks such as Aja (Steely Dan), Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover (Paul Simon), Late in the Evening (Paul Simon) and Nite Sprite (Chick Corea.)

To bring the first year to a close, BFM Jazz released The Tierney Sutton Bands “American Road” in September, full of the bands take on Americana classics. Downbeat Magazine stated that Suttons luminous alto has seldom sounded so pure as on her ninth release.

Other BFM Jazz releases, included on the compilation, are Bob Sheppards “Close Your Eyes,” Luis Contes “En Casa de Luis,” Larry Goldings “In My Room,” Alan Pasquas “Twin Bill” and John Daversas “Junk Wagon: Big Band Album.”

New GPS notifications feature from iBuildapp lets anyone build an app that can send special offers to customers based on their location. iBuildApp recently added mobile coupons for businesses to their free-to-build apps. Now anyone can develop and send coupons, incentives, or timely deals straight to their most loyal customers when they are close by.

Build an app with GPS notifications immediately by going to http://ibuildapp.com

The app will notify a customers phone (iPhone and Android) whenever they leave or enter a defined area or POI (point of interest). Based on that information, businesses can offer mobile coupons or provide driving directions.

To build an app with GPS, just enter the POI info, desired radius (options of 50 feet, 100 feet, 300 feet, 500 feet, 1 mile, 2 miles, 5 miles, 10 miles, or 15 miles), and a message (alert) for the notification. Alerts will be displayed on customers devices once they enter the defined zone.

There is no limit to how many location-based notifications can be added and no need to recompile the app when adding a new location/notification. All the info will be available via an XML file that can be quickly updated. The feature works even when the app is running in the background, but not when the app is closed.

For example, if a user allows their iPhone to use their location, the app will initiate GPS to define their exact location. Then when they are near a preset location, the app prompts a notification.For iPhone users the location is determined by a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi and cell towers, depending on what’s available at the time.

The eagerly awaited third module in the Brand Asset Management suite On Brand, created by award-winning marketing automation solutions company VYRE, is being launched after much anticipation.

Creative Workflow is a module which enables the best creative minds to work in perfect harmony in an environment where entire creative workflows can be centrally managed for maximum efficiency and optimum brand protection.

VYREs web-based modular solutions build on the award-winning VYRE Unify marketing automation platform and are available bespoke or out of the box to offer supreme flexibility for the client.

A distinguishing feature of On Brand is the ability to manage multiple brands, enabling companies to have customised interfaces specific to their needs and identities – something unique in the creative marketing industry.

The innovative new module will enable seamless collaboration between the creative team and will involve marketing asset and media management, together with brand and project managers, helping to manage the production and approvals process for web, photo, social media and all other marketing materials.

Based on over 10 years experience deploying tailored marketing applications for hundreds of global brands, VYRE solutions include: Brand Asset Management; Digital Asset Management; Creative Workflow and Approvals; Campaign Management; Artwork Automation; and Multi-Channel Content Management.

The company’s clients include Diageo plc, Nokia plc, Virgin Holidays, Shell plc, ESPN STAR sports, Cambridge University Press, the AAT, IMG Media Group, Lowe & Partners Worldwide, Draftfcb, Nestle, and FutureBrand.

Ruth Knight, Marketing Director at VYRE, says: The key aim of the creative workflow module is to free up time so people can be more creative and less constrained by process.

Its non fuss approach and engaging interface supports user adoption, and features such as annotation, group discussion and task management take the hard work out of managing creative projects.

On Brands third module builds on the success of the companys existing Digital Asset Management and Guideline modules, which have been widely acclaimed throughout the industry.

Indeed the company’s On Brand Asset Management suite represents an innovative force in cloud-based Digital Asset Marketing for the 21st century.

The key features of Creative Workflow are: centralised single online hosting solution; streamlined jargon-free project management; artwork annotations; group comment and discussion; people, projects and tasks views; multi-stage approvals and notifications to speed up production; event and scheduled driven messaging/ notifications.

Jeremy Chames, Project Manager of Brand 360, Distells On Brand asset management solution, says: Creative Workflow will be really important for us to be able to govern the process from concept right through to the final fulfillment of our brand assets. We have been eagerly anticipating its arrival.

The benefits of Creative Workflow are enormous, and allow companies to centralise collaboration with ease, comment, approve and audit easily, save time and money; share ideas and assets in a secure environment, reduce paper trails and reliance on emails and risk, save time searching various systems, and centrally manage overall costs and workflows.

Creative workflow also improves marketing team communications, plus image, document and collateral management, while continuously refining creative processes. Bottlenecks are eliminated, and the clear view of creative processes allows resources to be redeployed more effectively, thus saving time and money.

Vitally important is the fact that a secure, single source of information, accessible anywhere in the world, allows teams to collaborate on projects at any time of the day, which reduces the risk of missing deadlines and costly re-designs and re-schedules.

This new third module of the On Brand Suite really does what it says on the tin: it allows creative work to flow seamlessly by utilising a system which delivers maximum efficiency and joins up all the dots in the process of branding and marketing the perfect product.

Andy Peters, VYRE Chief Executive Officer, comments: On Brand is unique in that it offers different interfaces for multi-brand companies.

“Moreover, as it is implemented on VYRE Unify, large global enterprises can reap the benefits of an out of the box model for the first time – benefits that include rapid, low-risk deployments and reduced capital expenditure and running costs.

A recent market research conducted by Internet Marketing Services has indicated that Nokia N9 is going to be a strong competitor of Apple iPhone 4S when it releases globally. The research was conducted considering all the features of the two leading Smartphones in the market. This newly Nokia N9 is not yet available in Canada, and mobile users are eagerly waiting for the Smartphone to arrive with phenomenal features.

The Apple iPhone 4s was released in the Canadian market during the month of October. Market experts are suggesting that comparable features and price will make them close competitors in the Canadian market once Nokia N9 releases in Canada.

“Nokia N9 is undoubtedly the best looking Smartphone that Nokia has released in the last few years” Says Mr.Bonner, “The handset provides amazing durability, thanks to the strong polymer body. The manufacturers have claimed that scratches or dents will not show up because of the scratch resistant polycarbonate casing. Nokia N9 is the first ever fully touch Smartphone that Nokia has manufactured. There is no keypad or button in the front, and the volume and the lock button are on the right side.”

“On the other hand, Apple iPhone 4S has mostly retained the looks of iPhone 4. The built quality is great, but the phone is not as good looking as Nokia N9″ Says Mr. Bonner. In terms of functionality both the phones are packed with state of the art features that are any mobile users dream. It is very difficult to choose between the MeeGo operating system in Nokia N9 and Apple iOS 5 in Apple iPhone 4S.

Both the handsets are equipped with highly advanced 8 Mega pixel cameras with a flurry of features. Apple iPhone 4S holds a slight edge with regards to the pixel density and display resolution. Whereas, Nokia N9 has better feature in terms of its RAM and GPS functionality. Mr. Bonner Says, “Only time will show which one of these two great Smartphones will prove to be the smarter.”
