Experienced PR and Business Development Professional to Lead Client Service Initiatives at Growing North Texas PR Agency

FORT WORTH, Texas, June 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Kwedar & Co., a leading public relations and marketing agency based in Fort Worth, has announced the appointment of D’Arla Tyler as Director of Public Relations & Client Services. Tyler’s position is a new one for the agency, which provides one-stop-shop strategic communications, public relations, and marketing services to a wide range of clients throughout the business and non-profit sectors. Her appointment marks a significant step forward as the company scales operations to meet the growing needs of clients in the burgeoning North Texas area and beyond.

“Our business has grown so much in the last few years,” said Kwedar & Co. Founder and President Lauren Kwedar Cockerell. “We knew we needed to add a senior team member laser-focused on the client experience. We just had to find the right person. D’Arla Tyler is that person.”

“Maintaining consistent branding and thoughtful messaging can be challenging for growing businesses trying to do it on their own,” said Kwedar & Co. Founder and President Lauren Kwedar Cockerell. “When companies make the decision to outsource their PR and communications needs, they wisely allow themselves to focus on their business and what they do best.

“In turn, what we do best is provide powerful, customized strategic counsel, tactics and content to help fuel businesses as they grow and scale,” continued Cockerell. “It’s a winning formula, and our business has grown so much in the last few years. We knew we needed to add a senior team member laser-focused on the client experience. We just had to find the right person. D’Arla Tyler is that person.”

As Director of Public Relations & Client Services, Tyler will develop and deliver PR and brand messaging strategies tailored to meet each client’s unique goals, while serving as a personal liaison to support each client’s needs. She began her career in public relations over two decades ago under the wing of legendary DFW PR executive, Paige Hendricks, after first working as a television news reporter and later as a promotion manager, at the NBC affiliate in Wichita Falls.

In a twist of fate, while Tyler was learning the ropes at Paige Hendricks Public Relations Inc., another PR neophyte began her career under the same mentorship — Lauren Kwedar Cockerell. The two PR professionals kept in touch after those early years in Fort Worth, and when Cockerell decided to add to the Kwedar & Co. team, she leapt at the chance to bring her old friend and colleague on board.

“D’Arla and I have genuine history together, so I know she’s going to be the perfect addition to our team,” said Cockerell. “She has a comprehensive understanding of public relations and a rare talent for finding just the right narrative for each client — and then strategically delivering that narrative to the best possible audience. And, she provides our clients with the luxury-style care they deserve.”

Tyler said that joining Cockerell’s team was an easy decision:

“Kwedar & Co. has such a well-earned reputation,” said Tyler. “Lauren has put together an amazing team of top-tier talents who are great with clients and great with each other. Everyone brings such a level of professionalism and trust to their work every day. I am looking forward to this opportunity to work with amazing people, for exciting clients and to help propel this business forward.”

After leaving Paige Hendricks’ firm to “stay home” full-time with her growing family, Tyler continued over the years to utilize and sharpen her PR and marketing skills by working as an independent contractor for select clients. More recently, she worked for the Cleburne Chamber of Commerce, where she spent the last several years as Director of Events and in business development. There, she had the opportunity to support the business community at large, while serving the needs of the individual businesses and organizations that were members. Tyler had recently left the chamber out of a desire to return to public relations when Cockerell reached out.

“I find public relations to be extremely rewarding. I enjoy developing strategies that will support clients as they aim for their goals, and I love cheering them on in their successes,” Tyler said. “Plus, I’m able to use my background in journalism to write and deliver compelling stories, but now I do it to help clients make real connections and move their businesses and dreams forward.”

Tyler earned her bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from the University of North Texas in Denton.

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, PayPal Ventures, the global venture capital arm of PayPal, announced an additional investment in Chaos Labs, an industry leader in onchain risk management. This investment underscores PayPal Ventures’ confidence in Chaos Labs’ potential and their blockchain products.

Chaos Labs’ recent launch of Edge, a new decentralized oracle protocol, has garnered significant attention within the industry. Edge has already secured a remarkable $30B over the last 2 months and has been adopted by leading exchanges such as Jupiter, the top perpetuals exchange on Solana, and GMX, the leading exchange on Arbitrum.

Edge offers a comprehensive, low-latency oracle solution, combining accurate price data with actionable market intelligence. Its advanced architecture ensures the security and efficiency of DeFi applications while providing insights into market dynamics and security risks. Edge monitors the market for specific risk signals, performs the offchain data parsing and computation, and outputs one actionable data point.

Omer Goldberg, CEO and Founder of Chaos Labs, said, “We’re excited to receive the strong confidence and additional support from the PayPal Ventures team. Edge by Chaos is the culmination of our entire company’s work and expertise. Edge Price, Risk, and Proofs deliver meaningful and unmatched contextualized risk and price data for assets including stablecoins and other real-world-assets, in addition to the crypto assets and venues that provide access to them.”

Last month, Chaos Labs announced a $55 million Series A funding round led by Haun Ventures, including prominent new investors such as F-Prime Capital, Slow Ventures, and Spartan Capital, and existing investors including PayPal Ventures. Chaos Labs has experienced significant growth, tripling its customer base and securing billions in trading volume, loans, and incentives.

PayPal Ventures’ investment aligns with PayPal’s ongoing commitment to the blockchain ecosystem. In May 2024, PayPal launched its stablecoin, PYUSD, on the Solana blockchain.

Amman Bhasin, Partner at PayPal Ventures, said, “Our continued investment in Chaos Labs reflects our belief in their vision to create a safer crypto ecosystem and move more financial services on chain. Chaos Labs has emerged as a leading risk authority in the sector and we are thrilled to witness their evolution as they launch innovative products like Edge to mitigate oracle vulnerabilities.”

Chaos Labs will receive the total investment in PYUSD on-chain. A simulation will be shown live on-stage on September 20th at the annual Solana Breakpoint conference in Singapore.
