Trends on Social ! Pacesetters are more than 6X more to use social to improve experience
We just published our new Business Tech Trend report with over 1400 decision makers. From this report, take a look at gains in Social deployment over the last 2 years. It is up 106%
Then we studied the Pacesetters. Pacesetters are those who have dedicated their competitive focus through technology and are seeing better business value.
But what I find most exciting -- is the way these Pacesetters are using Social. They 6X more likely to use Social for communication and to improve client experience. In addition, they use social 3X more than those laggards for expanding into new segments and markets.

Grush brushes aside the competition to win SmartCamp Silicon Valley
On August 19th, we held our SmartCamp Silicon Valley event, and Grush stole the show! Congratulations to Grush for winning the Judges and People's choice awards!!
As a parent, I can really appreciate how Grush is making a game-chaning solution in kids brushing their teeth. That's right, I said kids brushing their teeth!
Grush transforms the chore of brushing into a fun and interactive game. They've developed an advanced Bluetooth motion-sensing toothbrush, coupled with interactive and instructive mobile games, to guide kids' brushing and let parents track the results.
Talk about the Internet of Things! The motion data is sent to Grush Apps in real-time. Grush Apps are interactive games and apps that receive motion data from Grush Brush and integrate it with a simulated image of teeth or a game theme.
It even has cloud technology! The Grush Cloud stores detailed brushing data of each user for tracking/monitoring. Detailed brushing statistical data can be provided to dentists to customize a treatment plan which could ultimately save in dental costs.
Anything that helps parents motivate their kids to brush their teeth is a winner in my book! Not only are these games fun for kids, they are also Dentist approved!
Nice job, Grush!
