LITTLETON, CO / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / ALOHA, the fast-growing B Corp and Climate Label Certified plant-based protein brand, has launched its national “Taste That Grows” campaign, putting the wholesome ingredients behind ALOHA’s top-selling bars front and center. The campaign brings these ingredients to life, from cherries and blueberries to fresh mint, peanuts, coconut, and almonds, each USDA Organic and thoughtfully grown. At a time when many protein bars lean on artificial flavors and functional fillers, ALOHA maintains a disciplined focus on ingredient quality, delivering award-winning flavor built from foods consumers know and trust.

The campaign was created by strategy and design company SYLVAIN, and is anchored in visuals that awaken the senses in unexpected ways, highlighting the textures and flavors that set ALOHA bars apart. Through close-up sensory-driven illustrations, ingredients are shown in their natural state and in motion, from fresh berries to cracked coconuts and roasted nuts, reinforcing the brand’s real-ingredient foundation. Ingredients stretch, sprout, burst, and fold back in, revealing the real, plant-powered goodness inside every ALOHA bar. Obsessed Media led the media buying for the campaign which will run across CTV, YouTube, podcasts and out-of-home.

“In a time when people are paying more attention than ever to what they’re putting into their bodies and how it makes them feel, we’re proud to share our food philosophy with the world,” said Julia Shapiro, VP of Brand at ALOHA. “We believe that the best tasting and most nutritious food comes from the earth, which is why ALOHA bars have always been made with delicious plant-based, organic ingredients. No junk. This campaign is a true celebration of that.”

As consumers move away from ultra-processed, sugary snacks and toward nutrient-dense, protein and fiber-rich options, ALOHA is positioned squarely at the center of that shift. Its bars are made with organic whole food ingredients such as nuts, oats, fruits, and seeds. Its protein comes from a proprietary blend of pumpkin seed and brown rice proteins, while the fiber in its bars is sourced primarily from tapioca fiber. Together, these choices reflect the brand’s core belief that ingredient transparency and great taste should go hand in hand.

“‘Taste That Grows’ is about illustrating the inherent beauty in real ingredients. To do that, we partnered with CGI artists Arina Emelianova and Kirill Emelyanov to create a sensorial world of plant-based wonder,” said Ash Casper, Associate Design Director at strategy and design company SYLVAIN. “While AI creative content is quickly becoming the norm, we instead centered on makers dedicated to their craft. You can feel it in the work.”

“We wanted the media plan to carry the same sense of discovery and sensory delight of the creative, meeting consumers in the moments where they’re thinking about snacking. We leaned into visual environments like CTV, YouTube and outdoor to showcase the craft behind the work, and select podcasts featuring health conscious hosts with a passionate audience. The goal was to build awareness while reminding people what makes ALOHA special in a crowded category – real, organic ingredients brought to life in a way that feels as vibrant and alive as the bars themselves,” said Barry Dan, Co-Founder & CEO, Obsessed Media.

The campaign marks the latest milestone in the company’s rapid ascent. While many food brands dilute ingredient standards as they scale, ALOHA has taken the opposite path. The company has grown more than 800% over the past few years without changing its formulation philosophy, ingredient quality, or manufacturing discipline; a rare outcome in the protein bar category. Named one of Bain Capital’s 2025 and 2026 “Insurgent Brands” and supported by a $68 million investment from SEMCAP, ALOHA now reaches 21,000 retail doors and ranks among the top-selling bars at Whole Foods Market, Amazon, and Thrive Market. The momentum is especially notable for an employee-owned company operating with a team of fewer than 30 people.

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / Allied Universal^®, a leading security and facility services provider, today announced it has been issued a patent covering methods used in its K9-Comply^® platform, developed by its Enhanced Protection Services business unit. The proprietary compliance and documentation platform is designed to meet and exceed Transportation Security Administration (TSA) 3PK9 program requirements for air cargo canine screening processes.

K-9 Comply uses a mobile workflow to record canine inspections and associate it with key inspection data such as shipment identifiers and screening events, resulting in an audit-ready evidence package.

“This patent represents an important step forward in how regulated security operations are managed in critical environments,” said Glen Kucera, President of Allied Universal Enhanced Protection Services. “By integrating processes required in this important regulated industry into one platform, we’ve created a powerful tool that has successfully supported clients through more than 500 TSA audits. This achievement underscores the platform’s effectiveness in maintaining full regulatory compliance and protecting clients from potential adverse actions.”

Allied Universal’s compliance team worked closely with industry stakeholders to ensure K9-Comply remains aligned with evolving canine air cargo screening (and other TSA) regulations. The solution was launched in 2020 and currently supports clients daily across more than 160 locations nationwide. The technology is managed entirely by Allied Universal canine handlers and operations personnel and focuses on reducing administrative burdens for air cargo clients. Clients have reported improvements to operational efficiency, and the seamless cargo transfer processes supported through K9 Comply enhances all regulatory TSA Compliance efforts.

“Innovation is key to our growth and this patent reflects our dedication to advancements in the air cargo screening industry,” said Steve Jones, Allied Universal global chairman and CEO. “As technology continues to reshape the security landscape, we remain committed to developing solutions that enable our clients to operate with confidence in an increasingly complex world with solutions that help meet the highest canine air cargo security standards.”

K9-Comply represents a major industry advancement in regulated canine air cargo screening operations, offering a cloud-based, fully integrated system that centralizes and distributes all documentation required under the Certified Cargo Screening Program-K9 (CCSP-K9) process. The platform facilitates all required cargo screening tracking, document creation, and document transfer processes to ensure full TSA compliance for AUS and our clients.

K9-Comply expands the company’s patent portfolio in explosives detection technology. Its first platform using patented explosive detection technology, SmartTech^®, was launched in the early 2000s and connects on-site screening with real-time support. Upon identifying a suspicious X-ray image, an on-site screener sends the image to our Emergency Operations Center via the SmartTech solution, where specialized bomb technicians analyze the image, issuing an alert or non-detect. In 2018 the company was awarded a patent for Alarm Resolution capabilities, combining SmartTech with explosive detection canine screening. A trained canine detection team conducts an initial sweep and if a potential threat is detected, X-ray screening and SmartTech are deployed to confirm and evaluate the presence of a true explosive threat.

The patent is U.S. Patent No. 12,531,967, titled “Canine Inspection Recording”.

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / iTrustCapital is seeing steady growth in 2026 as more long-term investors turn to the platform to buy physical gold and silver inside their retirement accounts. Precious metals gained significant attention throughout 2025, and that momentum has continued as savers look for stability in an increasingly uncertain economic environment.

At the same time, more investors are taking a closer look at the traditional Gold IRA industry and realizing that many of the issues that quietly impacted retirement portfolios for years, high-markup coins, aggressive sales tactics, unnecessary fees, and confusing account structures, are still very much present today.

Established Gold IRA Companies Under Renewed Scrutiny

For more than a decade, many Gold IRA companies have relied on a sales-driven playbook that most consumers don’t fully understand until it’s too late. Investors have frequently reported being steered toward “limited-edition” or “exclusive” coins carrying steep markups, often under the impression that these products offer special advantages over standard bullion.

In reality, many of these coins have limited resale demand. When investors eventually attempt to sell, often years later, they are commonly offered only spot pricing. The gap between what was paid and what the asset is actually worth can result in significant losses.

High fee structures remain another widespread concern. Some Gold IRA companies stack setup fees, storage fees, maintenance fees, annual fees, and exit fees into accounts without clearly explaining how those costs compound over time. Many investors don’t fully grasp the impact until they try to liquidate their holdings and discover that fees have quietly eroded a meaningful portion of their retirement balance.

Liquidation is where things really fall apart. Even when the market rises, many investors find that the company they bought from offers buyback prices well below what they originally paid. Those who shop around don’t fare much better; local dealers and pawn shops typically offer below spot price too. There’s a reason for that: despite being marketed as “limited-mintage” collectibles, these coins are standard bullion. The moment you try to sell, the market treats them exactly as such.

While these practices are not new, they are receiving increased attention as more investors share their experiences publicly.

As some precious metals IRA companies shut their doors over deceptive practices and misrepresentation amid ongoing legal battles, investors are still being drawn in by scare-tactic marketing and high-commission sales pitches.

A Shift Toward Simpler, Direct Access

Retirement savers are reevaluating how and where they buy physical gold and silver. Many are moving away from phone-based sales processes and toward platforms that offer direct access, clearer real-time pricing, and the ability to make decisions without pressure.

This shift has led investors to platforms like iTrustCapital, where there’s upfront clear pricing and fees, the process is more transparent and individuals can manage their accounts on their own terms.

iTrustCapital’s Approach Resonates With Today’s Investors

Since launching in 2018, iTrustCapital has built its platform around clarity, simplicity, and investor control.

The platform supports multiple account types: Tax-Advantaged IRAs for long-term retirement savings, Premium Custody Accounts for everyday investing, and Treasury Accounts for businesses and trusts, giving investors access to real physical gold and silver without commissioned salespeople, overpriced coins, or unnecessary fees. Clients can buy and sell 24/7 through an easy-to-use desktop and mobile platform, without needing to schedule phone calls or work through commissioned sales representatives pushing specific products. This approach stands in sharp contrast to the sales-heavy environment many investors have encountered elsewhere in the Gold IRA industry.

The company’s customer support model reflects the same philosophy. Rather than relying on incentivized sales staff, iTrustCapital offers a 100% U.S.-based support team focused solely on client service, with no commission structure and no upsell incentives.

Liquidating is equally straightforward. Clients can sell their precious metals instantly through the platform without placing a phone call, navigating a lengthy process, or waiting on a representative, a contrast to the friction many investors have experienced at traditional Gold IRA companies.

“People come to us because they’re tired of being sold to,” said Kevin Maloney, CEO of iTrustCapital. “They don’t want a commissioned salesperson pushing them into high-markup coins they don’t fully understand, with the promise of tax-loophole advantages. With iTrustCapital, you buy physical gold and silver directly through the platform. No phone calls, no sales pitches. And when you’re ready to sell, you just hit a button. That’s it.”

In addition to precious metals, iTrustCapital provides access to more than 90 cryptocurrencies and supports multiple self-directed account types, including IRAs, the company’s Premium Custody Accounts for everyday investing, and Treasury Accounts for businesses and trusts. To date, the platform has earned more than 13,000 positive reviews across Google and Trustpilot.

A Clear Trend Throughout 2026

As interest in precious metals continues and concerns surrounding traditional Gold IRA companies persist, a growing number of retirement investors are choosing platforms that offer direct, low-friction access to physical gold and silver. In 2026, that shift has positioned iTrustCapital as a consistent choice for investors who want precious metals exposure without the complications that have quietly plagued the industry for years.

Wellness Entrepreneur Matthew Postlethwaite Partners With Suja Co-Founder to Bring to Market the First Protein-Infused Soda Built for Everyday Life

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / Proda debuts as an all-natural protein-infused soda that aims to push protein beyond the fitness niche and into the lives of everyday people.

Co-founded by Matthew Postlethwaite, wellness entrepreneur and actor best known for his role in Peaky Blinders, and Jeff Church, co-founder and former CEO of Suja Juice, Proda is bringing protein to wider audiences – to be enjoyed as a daily ritual or a guilt-free soda swap during meals, and anything in between.

“After witnessing the health journeys of my family and through my experience in working with a variety of protein brands, my intention behind building Proda centered on making protein more approachable to all ages,” says Matthew Postlethwaite, co-founder and co-CEO of Proda. “Leading with crisp and refreshing flavor, we made sure Proda delivers the purest, complete protein on the market. It took us nearly a year and a half, with over 1,000 hours, to perfect every detail and ensure craveable taste – because if it doesn’t taste amazing, none of the rest matters.”

“Traditional protein beverages and emerging protein sodas brands have over-indexed on the fitness and muscle building space, and Proda wants to turn that paradigm on its head. We believe that tomorrow’s protein category won’t be built on more; rather, it will be built on the best,” says Jeff Church, co-founder and co-CEO of Proda. “Most consumers want to move towards being a little bit healthier, but they don’t want to be punished by a poor-tasting product or they just won’t repeat their purchase. We’ve spent tremendous time and effort to ensure Proda is best in class regarding taste and benefits.”

Sprouts Farmers Market has signed on as Proda’s exclusive national launch partner, offering Sprouts customers first access in retail stores.”At Sprouts, innovation and health are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re always looking for partners who are redefining what better-for-you can mean,” says Kim Coffin, Chief Forager at Sprouts Farmers Market. “Proda is exactly the kind of bold, forward-thinking brand we’re excited to support – bringing together elevated nutrition, craveable flavor, and everyday functionality. We’re proud to help introduce emerging products like Proda to shoppers nationwide while continuing to lead the way in discovering what’s next in wellness.”

Each 12 oz. can of Proda delivers clean ingredients including 10g of clear whey protein isolate, 3g of fiber, zero sugar, natural sweeteners, zero lactose, and is gluten- and caffeine-free, with approximately 45 calories.

Proda’s flavor lineup includes seven nostalgic-meets-modern flavors: Classic Orange, Shirley Temple, Cherry Lime, Strawberry Lemonade, Lemon Lime, Golden Apple, and Root Beer.

Proda will be available at Sprouts Farmers Market shelves nationwide on April 1, 2026, for $3.49 per can, as well as at DrinkProda.com, Amazon, and TikTok Shop.

ABOUT Proda:

Proda is a protein soda built for real life. Founded by Jeff Church, co-founder and former CEO of Suja Juice, and Matthew Postlethwaite, award-winning actor and wellness entrepreneur best known for his role in Peaky Blinders, Proda was designed for everyday life, not the supplement shelf. Each 12 oz. can delivers 10 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and zero sugar across seven flavors: Lemon Lime, Classic Orange, Cherry Lime, Strawberry Lemonade, Golden Apple, Shirley Template, and Root Beer.

The new Sauce AI for Test Authoring launch targets the most labor-intensive slice of the 22% of IT budgets spent on quality assurance, by shifting engineering teams from writing test cases to specifying business intent that the platform autonomously turns into self-improving test suites.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / Sauce Labs Inc., the world’s largest full-lifecycle, test automation platform, today announced the general availability of Sauce AI for Test Authoring, an AI Agent that translates business intent into framework-agnostic executable test suites that can be run instantly on Sauce Labs’ virtual and real-device clouds.

This launch introduces a new paradigm for DevOps: Intent-Driven Testing, designed to bridge the “Velocity and Quality Gap”, the widening distance between how fast AI generates code and how slowly teams can validate it for enterprise-grade quality.

High-quality test creation is one of software development’s most persistent bottlenecks. Developers spend 30%+ of their time writing and maintaining test suites, while non-technical team members, business analysts, product managers, and manual QA testers with deep domain knowledge remain locked out of automation entirely due to the coding expertise required.

Disrupting the $1 Trillion Quality Assurance & Engineering Spend
Today, Fortune 2000 companies dedicate 22% to 25% of their total IT budgets to Quality Assurance & Engineering, representing over $1 trillion in aggregate annual spend across global enterprise IT. As these enterprises adopt GenAI to ship code at up to 10x their historical velocity, they face several key challenges:

• Test Authoring Speed and Ensuring Quality: 89% of CIOs report that “Test Authoring Speed” is now the primary hurdle to AI-driven delivery

• The Coverage Deficit: Automated test coverage for complex journeys typically plateaus at under 35%

• The Maintenance Trap: Teams spend 40% of their working hours fixing “flaky” tests or maintaining legacy scripts

“AI can generate millions of lines of code in minutes,” said Dr. Prince Kohli, CEO of Sauce Labs. “The question for enterprises is: Can you verify it and trust it with your business? We are solving this problem, permanently.”

Reinventing for the AI Era: Intent-Driven Testing
Today, Sauce Labs is reinventing the future of test automation with Intent-Driven Testing that replaces brittle, hand-coded test scripts with autonomous, self-improving test suites and validation.

Sauce AI for Test Authoring automatically understands intended application behavior by scanning the application workflow or interpreting specifications written by product managers or designs from tools such as Figma. In addition, it allows engineers, application developers and product managers to describe application behavior in natural language. The platform then autonomously generates complete, executable test suites for web, Android, and iOS, with the option to execute them in the Sauce Labs Test Cloud, and automatically reports the results, including insights on where to look and what to fix. Key capabilities include:

• 90%+ Faster Automated Test Case Generation: Achieving real-time test creation from product specifications.

• Resilient, Stable Test Scripts: Framework-agnostic tests built to adapt to application changes, with significantly fewer flaky failures and less maintenance overhead.

• 99%+ Automatic Coverage: Eliminating “blind spots” in the user journey.

• Built-in Review and Editing: Ensuring human oversight and control over AI-generated tests, allowing teams to validate, refine, and maintain reliability.

• Autonomous Learning Loop: Continuous feedback that improves test accuracy.

The Data Moat: Deep Domain-Specific Testing Expertise
Sauce AI for Test Authoring surpasses general-purpose AI with a superior understanding of application workflow and user intent, generating stable OS-agnostic and device-agnostic tests. Fueled by the industry’s most robust proprietary dataset, 8.7 billion real-world test runs, this “Data Moat” enables 41% faster root-cause analysis than general-purpose LLMs. Trusted by 80% of the world’s top ten financial institutions, Sauce Labs offers enterprise-grade platform capabilities for complex software environments.

“Setting up mobile testing is traditionally painful and can take days and weeks. Sauce AI for Test Authoring’s no-code capability gives our team something they simply weren’t able to do before. It turns a major bottleneck into an automated process that anyone can navigate,” said a Director of Engineering at a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company participating in the Sauce AI for Test Authoring early access program.

Additionally, the company announced the beta launch of Redshift for Autodesk Revit^®. This marks the next major milestone in Maxon’s expansion into the Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) market, with additional integrations planned.

Engineered for architects and interior designers, Maxon’s AEC solution brings the company’s industry-proven cinematic rendering technology, Redshift, and the creative depth of Cinema 4D directly into professional archviz workflows. Designed as a native plugin for leading CAD/BIM platforms, Maxon makes its official entry into the market with Redshift for Vectorworks, which launches alongside the release of Vectorworks 2026 Update 4. The solution enables users to seamlessly move from real-time design previews to high-end, photorealistic renders within a unified ecosystem. Redshift for Revit, now in beta, will launch later this year, with even more integrations planned for 2026 and 2027.

“Maxon’s tools have a rich history in media and entertainment, used by the creative teams behind so many popular Hollywood movies to create Oscar-winning visual effects,” said Nicolas Burtnyk, Maxon’s Executive VP of Rendering. “Now, we’re bringing this same magic to architects and interior designers, helping them translate their vision into cinematic visual experiences worthy of big screens.”

The deployment demonstrates how AI-powered digital twins can help cities better understand and manage complex urban environments. By combining continuous sensing, high-resolution spatial data, and accelerated AI computing, the platform creates a living model of the city that can support infrastructure monitoring, urban planning, and new forms of human-AI interaction with the built environment.

“At city scale, the challenge is not creating a 3D model once – it’s keeping it live and current,” said Peter Atalla, CEO of Voxelmaps. “Voxelmaps Reality Capture Network, using our SYMBO Duo Realtime 3D Mapping Sensors, combined with NVIDIA Jetson at the edge and NVIDIA-accelerated computing across the workflow, enables a city digital twin that stays measurable, refreshable, and practical for day-to-day city operations.”

Multimodal City Intelligence at Scale

The digital twin is built from continuously captured street-level data collected through the Voxelmaps Reality Capture Network, which uses SYMBO Duo Realtime 3D Mapping Sensors to capture LiDAR and high-resolution imagery.

Within Voxelmaps City Insights, this data is fused into a continuously updated urban model that combines:

• LiDAR point clouds for precise geometry and measurement of infrastructure and urban assets

• High-resolution imagery to enable feature detection and semantic understanding

• 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) workflows to generate photorealistic visualization of city environments

Unlike traditional mesh-based modeling approaches, which are difficult to maintain at city scale, 3D Gaussian Splatting enables continuously refreshed visual representations that better support incremental updates as new data is captured.

Natural-Language Interaction with City Data

Voxelmaps has integrated NVIDIA Cosmos Reason 2, an open, customizable reasoning vision-language model (VLM), enabling natural-language interaction with visual and temporal city data within Voxelmaps City Insights.

Authorized city users can query the digital twin using everyday language to support operational awareness, planning, and infrastructure management.

Example queries include:

• “Show me where roadworks have changed curb access since last month.”

• “Identify corridors with low streetlighting coverage relative to comparable neighborhoods.”

• “List blocks with repeated pavement defects and estimate the affected surface area.”

Looking forward, Voxelmaps is working through integration with latest version of NVIDIA Metropolis Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS) to enable the deployment of video analytics AI agents.

Supporting City Operations and Planning

Voxelmaps’ work with NVIDIA and the City of San José emphasizes measurable outputs, traceability to source data, and clear governance over how insights are generated and used.

The platform is designed to support a range of municipal workflows, including:

• Improved visibility into street-level conditions and urban change

• Proactive infrastructure maintenance and asset monitoring

• Broader access to spatial intelligence beyond specialist GIS teams

• Data-driven planning and decision-making to improve residential services

San José – home to many leading AI and technology companies – provides a real-world testbed for next-generation AI-powered city infrastructure and digital twin technologies.

Scaling the Reality Capture Network

Voxelmaps plans to expand the Voxelmaps Reality Capture Network, using its SYMBO Duo Realtime 3D Mapping Sensors, and deploy Voxelmaps City Insights across 100 U.S. cities over the next two years, supporting a new generation of real-time digital twins designed for urban operations.
