AJC Names Digital Additive to Top Workplaces 2023

ATLANTA, March 20, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Digital Additive, an award-winning eCRM-focused agency specializing in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, is honored to be included as an award winner in Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Metro Atlanta Top Workplaces 2023. This is the 12th year AJC has collaborated with employment research and consulting firm Energage to determine the best places to work in metro Atlanta.
A unique feature of the list is that it is based solely on employee feedback gathered by Energage through a confidential survey. This survey measures culture drivers critical to the success of any organization from alignment and connection to employee engagement and company leadership. Top workplaces are determined on how positively employees rate their workplaces, making it a genuine representation of the employee experience.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
Earning this recognition reflects high organizational health. Research from Energage shows that the traits team members value most in the workplace are the core elements of overall organizational wellness. Additionally, companies with high organizational health typically outperform their peers in their industry.
“We’re really proud that Digital Additive has been included in this list. It shows in a measurable way that our commitment to building a supportive work environment is a lived experience by our teammates,” said Kevin Moran, Digital Additive CEO. “It will also ensure DA continues to attract and retain the best talent.”

GB Sciences’ First International Patent Protecting Its Proprietary Cannabinoid-Based Formulations for Parkinson’s Disease Has Been Issued in China

According to Statista, China has the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world and plant-based medicines are very well accepted, which makes China a potential target market for Gb Sciences.
LAS VEGAS, March 20, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Gb Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:GBLX), a leading cannabis- and plant-inspired biopharmaceutical research and development company, has recently been issued a patent in China to protect its proprietary cannabinoid-containing formulation for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. China is an increasingly important pharmaceutical market with cultural acceptance of plant-based formulations, which is a good fit for Gb Sciences’ drug candidates. Gb Sciences’ first international patent also confirms that the Company’s intellectual property strategy can work globally and strengthens the Company’s patent portfolio. The global market for treatments of Parkinson’s disease is projected to grow to $8.8 billion by the year 2026, and new therapies to address Parkinson’s disease symptoms are greatly needed.
“The issuance of Gb Sciences’ first international patent protecting methods of using our proprietary cannabinoid-containing formulations for treating Parkinson’s disease is an important milestone in the development of these vitally important therapies. Gb Sciences’ recent patent issued in China validates both our plant-inspired drug discovery process and intellectual property strategy, which involve defining and protecting Minimum Essential Mixtures,” explained Dr. Andrea Small-Howard, President and Chief Science Officer of Gb Sciences, Inc. “Gb Sciences starts its drug discovery process with plant-based therapies that are working anecdotally or in traditional medical systems, then we systematically reduce the number of compounds to reveal Minimum Essential Mixtures. Gb Sciences’ novel Minimum Essential Mixtures retain the increased efficacy of whole plant medicines, but they are easier to manufacture with precision at scale like single ingredient drugs. These Minimum Essential Mixtures are a viable alternative to standard single ingredient drugs or traditional whole plant medicines.”
Gb Sciences’ Minimum Essential Mixture-based drug development strategy does not aim to treat complex diseases as if they were caused by a single factor, but instead addresses the combination of factors that lead to a complex human disorder. Minimum Essential Mixtures (MEMs) are potentially more effective than single ingredient drugs because the different active ingredients target the multiple human processes responsible for complex diseases, such as neurodegeneration, heart disease, and cancers. As such, MEMs may offer a more holistic treatment for complex disorders such as Parkinson’s disease that cannot be attributed to a single cause, while maintaining the manufacturing and quality control advantages of single ingredient drugs.
Gb Sciences’ patent portfolio currently contains six issued U.S. and four issued foreign patents, as well as 15 U.S. and 49 foreign patent-pending applications that cover our novel AI-enabled drug discovery platform and proprietary plant-inspired therapies for more than 65 different disorders.
