The brand focuses on flexible, zero-drop school shoes with plenty of toe room, designed to withstand the daily pace of young children.
Madrid, Spain, 25th Aug 2026 – Back-to-school season means new routines, new schedules, and many hours spent wearing shoes. That is why Lejan is once again putting children’s feet at the center of its approach with its barefoot school shoes, designed to bring the principles of foot-friendly footwear to one of the pairs children wear most throughout the school year.
Unlike conventional school shoes, Lejan’s barefoot school shoes aim to minimize interference between the shoe and the natural movement of the foot. They feature an anatomical toe box that gives the toes room to move, a flexible sole, and zero drop, meaning there is no height difference between the heel and the forefoot.
But for shoes designed for school, there is another particularly important factor: durability for everyday wear. Break times, running, playing, commuting, and long school days mean children’s footwear is subjected to especially intensive use. For this reason, Lejan’s school shoes are designed to combine the key characteristics of barefoot footwear with a construction made to keep up with children throughout their daily school routine.
A Shoe Designed to Grow, Play, and Last
During childhood, feet are constantly developing. Choosing the correct size and ensuring there is enough room inside the shoe is particularly important to prevent the toes from being compressed.
Lejan’s school shoes feature a forefoot shape designed around the natural anatomy of the foot, giving the toes more room than traditional narrow-toe school shoes.
The flexibility of the sole also allows the shoe to move more naturally with children as they walk, run, or play during break time. These features are combined with materials and a construction designed to withstand the frequent use associated with the school environment, where footwear needs to perform for many hours and across a wide variety of situations.
The result is a school shoe designed to balance freedom of movement, comfort, durability, and a simple aesthetic that is easy to pair with school uniforms and everyday school outfits.
Back to School Starts with the Feet Too
With its children’s school shoes, Lejan brings its philosophy of giving feet greater space and freedom of movement into the school environment, without overlooking one of the main requirements of children’s footwear: the ability to keep up with the children wearing it.
It is a back-to-school option designed not only around how the foot moves, but also around everything that happens around it throughout a typical school day.
Lejan’s children’s school shoes are available at lejanbrand.com.

United States, 25th Aug 2026 — Thomas Berkley, Founder of CSM Collective, continues to build on his entrepreneurial experience by helping businesses and professionals approach growth with a stronger focus on client success, retention, and sustainable business systems.
As the digital business environment becomes increasingly competitive, entrepreneurs are looking beyond customer acquisition to understand what happens after a sale. Berkley’s work centers on this often-overlooked stage of the customer journey, helping organizations create structured processes that support clients, improve experiences, and establish stronger foundations for long-term growth.
Through CSM Collective, Berkley has developed an approach centered on Client Success Managers (CSMs) and the systems that support effective client relationships. His experience building multiple six- and seven-figure businesses has shaped his perspective that sustainable growth is not simply about attracting more customers, but also about delivering an experience that encourages clients to remain engaged and achieve meaningful outcomes.
“Growth becomes more sustainable when businesses pay attention to the entire client journey,” said Thomas Berkley, Founder of CSM Collective. “The relationship does not end when a customer makes a purchase. Strong onboarding, communication, fulfillment, and ongoing support can create the foundation for long-term trust and business development.”
CSM Collective focuses on helping businesses implement practical client success systems. These may include structured onboarding, regular client communication, feedback processes, fulfillment support, renewal strategies, and opportunities to improve the overall customer experience. The objective is to create systems that allow business owners to serve clients more consistently while building operational capacity for future expansion.
Berkley has also emphasized the importance of Client Success Managers as a strategic role within growing companies. Rather than treating client support as an afterthought, his approach positions client success as an integral part of the business model. A well-designed CSM system can help businesses identify client needs, address concerns proactively, and create more organized relationships between customers and service providers.
His entrepreneurial work also extends to helping individuals understand opportunities within the growing client success field. CSM Collective provides training and placement support for aspiring Client Success Managers, giving participants an opportunity to develop skills relevant to online businesses, coaching companies, consulting firms, and service-based organizations.
As part of his broader digital presence, Berkley continues sharing insights about client retention, business operations, and sustainable scaling. His educational content addresses the challenges founders encounter after reaching initial growth milestones and highlights the importance of creating systems that can operate effectively without requiring entrepreneurs to personally manage every stage of the customer experience.
A strong professional digital presence has also become an important part of modern entrepreneurship. For business leaders, clear communication and consistent publication of relevant, authoritative content can help audiences better understand their expertise, achievements, and business philosophy. Strategic media distribution provides another avenue for entrepreneurs to communicate developments and perspectives to broader audiences.
Looking ahead, Thomas Berkley and CSM Collective remain focused on expanding practical resources for entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals seeking sustainable growth. By combining client success principles with structured systems and entrepreneurial education, Berkley aims to help businesses move beyond short-term growth strategies and develop stronger long-term operations.
The continued evolution of CSM Collective reflects Berkley’s broader belief that successful businesses are built through systems, relationships, and consistent execution. As companies adapt to changing customer expectations, the ability to deliver meaningful experiences after the sale is likely to remain an important factor in building lasting business value.
CSM Collective is an entrepreneurial education and business solutions brand founded by Thomas Berkley. The organization focuses on client success, business systems, professional development, and strategies designed to help online businesses strengthen client relationships and build sustainable growth. Through training, resources, and practical guidance, CSM Collective supports entrepreneurs and professionals navigating the evolving digital business landscape.

Today, storage is no longer simply about having greater capacity. Enterprise infrastructures must meet several needs simultaneously, including data backup and recovery, centralized storage, security, and long-term data protection.
Shenzhen, Milan,August 25, 2026 — Data volumes are growing, the way information is used is changing, and companies are inevitably being forced to rethink how they store, manage and protect their digital assets. Against this backdrop, TerraMaster is continuing to expand its presence in the professional storage market, with a growing focus on rackmount NAS solutions designed for businesses, distributors, resellers and system integrators.
Today, storage is no longer simply about having more capacity available. Corporate infrastructures must address several needs at the same time, including data backup, recovery, centralized storage, security and long-term data protection.
At the same time, two major trends are placing additional pressure on IT infrastructures: the huge amount of data generated by video surveillance systems and the rapid development of artificial intelligence applications.
These are precisely the areas where TerraMaster is currently concentrating a significant part of its enterprise strategy.
A centralized infrastructure for enterprise data protection
For a company, losing critical information or being unable to restore it quickly can mean much more than a technical issue. It can lead to operational downtime, productivity losses and unexpected costs.
TerraMaster rackmount NAS solutions are designed to provide a centralized platform for managing and protecting data generated by computers, servers and other systems used across an organization.
This approach is complemented by BBS (Business Backup Solution), TerraMaster’s dedicated platform for building a more comprehensive data protection strategy that can include centralized backup, data recovery, multi-device protection and data protection across multiple locations.
The goal is to make it easier for companies to deploy an infrastructure that does more than simply store information, helping reduce the risks associated with data loss or unavailability.
For system integrators, this model also creates opportunities to design more complete solutions by combining NAS systems, hard drives, networking equipment, UPS systems and other components within a single IT project.
Storage therefore becomes part of a broader approach to business continuity and enterprise data protection.
Video surveillance: managing an ever-growing volume of footage
Another area where storage capacity is becoming increasingly critical is video surveillance. Retail stores, warehouses, schools, corporate campuses, manufacturing facilities and office environments generate large amounts of video every day, all of which must be stored, managed and quickly retrieved when needed.
In these environments, TerraMaster rackmount NAS systems can operate as scalable, high-capacity storage platforms, integrating with IP cameras, networking equipment and existing surveillance infrastructures.
This enables organizations to manage centralized video storage, long-term footage retention and surveillance archiving more efficiently.
The same approach also creates new opportunities for security-focused operators and integrators, allowing them to develop complete projects combining cameras, networking, storage, configuration and deployment services.
From small businesses to more complex storage infrastructures
Not every organization has the same storage requirements. A small or medium-sized business with a limited number of users will naturally have very different needs compared with an enterprise handling large datasets or demanding professional applications.
For this reason, TerraMaster has developed a portfolio of rackmount and tower NAS systems offering different levels of capacity and performance.
This allows partners and system integrators to select the most suitable configuration based not only on current data volumes, but also on performance requirements and future expansion plans.
TerraMaster is also strengthening its support for distributors, resellers, system integrators, IT service providers and security specialists.
The company aims to provide partners with product selection resources, solution materials, project support and technical tools that can simplify the development of complete enterprise infrastructures.
The objective is to make it easier to integrate TerraMaster NAS systems into broader IT and security projects, moving well beyond the concept of storage as a standalone device.
With TOS 7, storage is also preparing for the AI era
The next major step inevitably involves artificial intelligence. As generative AI and enterprise AI applications continue to evolve, companies are increasingly facing a new question: where should the data used by these systems be stored and managed?
More organizations may choose to keep at least part of their information within local infrastructures, where they can maintain greater control over security, access and data governance.
This is driving demand for data environments that are secure, controllable and scalable.
With the new TOS 7 operating system, TerraMaster is strengthening the storage and data management capabilities of its NAS solutions while also creating a technological foundation that can support future applications such as private AI and enterprise knowledge bases.
Storage infrastructures can therefore evolve alongside the organization. Initially deployed for backup, archiving and data protection, they can gradually become part of a local environment designed to support new AI-based tools and services.
The long-term goal is to create a true local and private data center designed for the AI era.
Storage is no longer just about available space
Perhaps the most significant change is precisely this: enterprise storage is gradually moving beyond the role of a simple repository for files.
Data protection, availability, video surveillance, business continuity and artificial intelligence are turning NAS systems and storage infrastructures into increasingly strategic components of corporate IT environments.
TerraMaster intends to move in this direction by expanding its enterprise portfolio while at the same time creating new project opportunities for partners and system integrators.
TerraMaster – is a professional brand specializing in innovative storage solutions for home users, professionals and businesses. Its portfolio includes NAS and DAS systems developed with a strong focus on performance, reliability, flexibility and user experience.

B&W Productions, a South African experiential events and brand activation agency founded in 1993 by Bibi Burness
Randvaal, Gauteng, South Africa, 25th Aug 2026 — B&W Productions, a South African experiential events and brand activation agency founded in 1993 by Bibi Burness, has published a comprehensive Event Intelligence calendar covering more than 60 expos, festivals, races and concerts scheduled across South Africa for the 2026-2027 season.
The new resource consolidates fixture dates, venue detail, spectator and delegate volumes, and the production categories each event demands into a single reference page aimed at brand marketers, sponsors and corporate event planners. Listings range from the Springboks v All Blacks Test Series at FNB Stadium and the January HSBC SVNS Cape Town, to the Tyla A*POP World Tour SA finale, the WHX Johannesburg healthcare congress and Investing in African Mining Indaba.
“B&W Productions builds the stands, stages, hospitality suites and brand activations behind South Africa’s biggest events,” the company noted on the new page. “Event Intelligence is where that experience becomes a planning tool — every expo, festival, race and concert worth putting a brand behind this season, in one calendar.”
Event entries are documented with specific operational detail rather than marketing copy. The page records the Nedbank Golf Challenge as a USD 6 million DP World Tour event with premium hospitality chalets and suites, the WHX Johannesburg medical exhibition as targeting 600+ exhibitors and 10,000+ professional visits, and the African Bank Soweto Marathon as drawing 15,000 to 18,000 runners across the 42.2km, 21.1km and 10km distances. The Earthdance Cape Town festival, Pangea 2026 and Alien Safari: Little Forest NYE Festival are catalogued with their camping, stage and ticketing-age profiles, while the Betway Summer Cup, Cape Town Met and L’Ormarins King’s Plate carry their attached Grade 1 racing, fashion and hospitality context.
The release marks a deliberate move from internal planning scratchpad to public-facing lead generation. Previously the company’s 33-year project history was documented only through direct enquiries and completed case files. The Event Intelligence page reframes that institutional knowledge as something marketers, brand managers and procurement teams can self-serve before reaching out.
“Where most agencies share their event calendar inside a sales deck, we want ours on the open web,” the company noted. “The decision to spend brand money on AIDS Atlanta live, the Nedbank Golf Challenge or the Loeries Creative Week does not begin on the phone with us — it begins when the marketing team sees the date, the venue and the production-fit.”
The calendar is structured to support B&W Productions’ core 360-degree turnkey model, which covers concept, staging, sound and lighting, AV and rigging, sponsor activation villages, VIP hospitality marquees and load-out under one production manager. Tickets and resourcing for individual events are managed at the venue or promoter side; the B&W page is positioned strictly as production planning reference.
Back to the City Festival’s 20th anniversary is the first listed event with live package pricing published, with R10,000 to R30,000 table packages already selling, alongside urban-brand builds and multi-stage rigging for the festival’s 100+ artist line-up. Other marquee entries, including the four-Test Springboks v All Blacks showdown closing at FNB Stadium with a 90,000-seat capacity, are documented with their sound, lighting, AV and rigging requirements.
B&W Productions lists South African Breweries, AB InBev, Castle Lite, Unilever, Distell, ABSA, MTV, GSK and Powerade among its 500+ corporate clients. The company was named Top Event Supplier 2025 by South African Breweries and has produced concert infrastructure and bar services for Pharrell Williams, Usher, Post Malone and Kanye West. Headquartered at Unit 1, Randvaal, Gauteng, the company operates from a 2,000 m² warehouse and a 10+ truck fleet, with a full-time staff of more than 30 professionals operating across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Polokwane.
The Event Intelligence calendar is updated quarterly, with the page reviewed by Bibi Burness, Founder & MD, of B&W Productions. The full calendar is available at bwproductions.co.za/events. Event enquiries can be submitted through the contact page, which routes to named production managers, namely Bibi Burness for general enquiries, Jocelyn for bookings and Sipho Ndlovu for operations.
About B&W Productions B&W Productions is a South African experiential events and brand activation agency headquartered in Randvaal, Gauteng, and founded in 1993 by Bibi Burness. The company provides 360-degree turnkey event production for marketing activations, concerts, conferences, sporting events and year-end functions, working nationally across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Polokwane. With more than 10,000 events delivered, 150,000+ brand executions and a B-BBEE Exempt certification, B&W Productions is a Top Event Supplier to South African Breweries and producer-of-record for marquee concert activations including those for Pharrell Williams, Usher, Post Malone and Kanye West.
BurnesSEO, a Midvaal-based digital marketing studio serving South African small businesses.
Meyerton, Gauteng, South Africa, 25th Aug 2026 — BurnesSEO, a Midvaal-based digital marketing studio serving South African small businesses, has rolled out a public tools library housing three no-cost marketing resources: a free logo maker, a website audit and an AI visibility score.
The release marks BurnesSEO’s move from agency-only deliverables toward broader consumer-grade utilities, addressing a recurring pain point identified across the studio’s local client base. Small operators who need professional brand assets and a diagnostic read on their own websites are now able to access both without committing to a monthly retainer.
The logo maker answers six questions and returns four finished logos on screen for live editing. Users can adjust any element in the live editor and download true SVG vector files plus PNGs at no cost and without watermarks. The vector download is the format signwriters and commercial printers require, and most competing no-cost logo builders gate that file behind a paywall.
The website audit runs in roughly 30 seconds on a user-supplied URL. It inspects title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, canonical and indexing signals, image alt text, internal linking density and core technical health, then returns the findings in plain English rather than a 60-page agency report.
The AI visibility score takes twelve questions and benchmarks how recommendable a brand is to ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini. These platforms increasingly substitute for classical Google search when South African consumers look for local services, and invisibility inside them is now a measurable revenue gap.
“Most South African businesses have never seen an honest read on their own site, and almost none have measured how AI assistants describe them,” the studio noted. “These SEO tools close both gaps without requiring anyone to sign a contract first.”
The release arrives as South African small businesses face a sharp shift in customer discovery habits. Search engines increasingly answer commercial queries through AI-generated summaries rather than ten blue links, and the same shift is reshaping which local providers get cited in conversational tools. Without a structured footprint across these surfaces, even well-established operators report losing enquiries to better-optimised competitors.
BurnesSEO has built its commercial practice around that landscape. The studio’s SEO bundles, Starter at R10,000 a month, Growth at R20,000 and Scale at R30,000, are designed to push local businesses into Google’s Map Pack and sustain their position across monthly cycles. Custom website projects, quoted between R8,000 and R35,000 per build, supply the on-page foundation those ranking efforts depend on. Google Business Profile management is available as a single-service tier at R4,000 a month, and AI consulting is billed at R1,500 an hour.
The tools library brings a smaller diagnostic slice of that workflow to the public. Individual operators, founders working on personal brands and small agency teams can now run the same diagnostics BurnesSEO treats as priorities across its commercial engagements.
“Agencies tend to gate useful information behind a sales call,” the studio observed. “The tools page is the opposite. Use what is useful, ignore the rest, come back when the project gets bigger.”
The studio maintains a 4.9 average from 17 verified Google reviews and lists Designer Pool Covers and Welpac among its commercial clients.
The tools are available immediately at burnesseo.co.za/tools. Additional utilities are planned for later release under the same no-card framework.
About BurnesSEO BurnesSEO is a digital marketing studio based in Meyerton, Midvaal, Gauteng, specialising in SEO, AI-powered marketing and GEO services for South African small businesses. Founded on the tagline “We make businesses impossible to ignore,” the studio offers Google Business Profile management, monthly SEO bundles, custom websites and AI consulting alongside a public library of free marketing tools.

Designer Pool Covers, a South African manufacturer and installer of custom swimming pool cover systems
Germiston, Gauteng, South Africa, 25th Aug 2026 — Designer Pool Covers, a South African manufacturer and installer of custom swimming pool cover systems, is directing national attention to certified pool safety covers as families head into the summer swimming season, when drowning incidents traditionally peak across the country.
According to an epidemiological review published in PMC, South Africa records an average of 1,477 fatal drownings per annum, equating to a national drowning rate of 2.54 per 100,000 population. The National Sea Rescue Institute reports that children under 14 account for roughly 29% of those fatalities, approximately 450 child drownings each year. Netcare 911 data indicates that 75% of all South African drownings involve children under the age of five. Within the Western Cape alone, provincial authorities have logged drownings of 39 children between the ages of one month and 14 years in a recent reporting period.
SANS 10134, the South African National Standard administered by the SABS, sets the minimum performance specifications for swimming pool safety nets and covers used as protective devices around private pools. For full-size pools the standard requires a safety cover or net to carry a minimum load of 220 kilograms. Designer Pool Covers designs, supplies and installs four cover systems for both new and existing pools: thermal blankets, pet and child safety covers, automated units and solid safety covers.
“South African households treat the swimming pool as a daily-use feature from October through March, but the same window that delivers the highest recreational use also delivers the most documented child drowning incidents,” the company noted. “A SANS 10134-aligned safety cover introduces a third protective barrier alongside fencing and adult supervision, which the published guidance identifies as the most reliable layered approach to unsupervised-child pool access in private residential settings.”
Founded more than three decades ago and headquartered in Johannesburg, Designer Pool Covers reports installations across Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, with the brand listed as having completed more than 4,500 pool cover installations nationwide. The company manufactures its covers locally and offers custom-measured systems that account for irregular pool shapes, raised edges, infinity edges and Roman-end designs common to high-end residential pools in the region.
Independent product reviews indicate that the company’s solid safety cover is engineered to bear the weight of a person standing on the surface without collapse, allowing an adult or child who falls onto the cover to be retrieved rather than submerged. The locking mechanisms used on the cover system are tamper-resistant to children, meeting the access-control provisions of SANS 10134 for private pools holding more than 30 cm of water.
The seasonal reminder aligns with guidance issued by the National Sea Rescue Institute, the World Health Organization and South African provincial health authorities, all of which classify home swimming pools as the single highest-risk private drowning environment for children below the age of five. Designer Pool Covers is encouraging pool owners to schedule a compliance inspection of their existing cover or fence system before peak summer demand in November and December, when installation lead times typically lengthen.
The company will publish additional homeowner safety guidance, compliance checklists and SANS 10134 reference summaries through its website at designercovers.co.za in the weeks leading up to South Africa’s summer school holiday period.
About Designer Pool Covers Designer Pool Covers is a South African designer, manufacturer and installer of custom swimming pool cover systems, including thermal blankets, automated covers, pet and child safety covers and solid safety covers. With more than 4,500 installations across Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, the company supplies SANS-aligned protective devices for private, hospitality and commercial pools nationwide.
Codfuel.com, a New York and Long Island heating oil platform, is expanding awareness of its annual subscription program, which provides automatic savings, service discounts and weekly prize opportunities.
United States, 25th Aug 2026 —Codfuel.com, a home heating oil platform serving customers across New York and Long Island, is expanding awareness of its optional annual subscription program as homeowners prepare for ongoing heating and maintenance needs. The company, which has been in business since 2001, reports that it has helped homeowners save almost $100 million on heating oil.
The subscription program is designed to simplify the process of accessing available oil delivery promotions while providing additional benefits related to heating system service and ordering. Codfuel.com is using the program to strengthen its connection with existing customers and encourage more homeowners to participate in its online platform.
Subscription program combines automatic savings and service benefits
The Codfuel.com subscription costs $24.95 for one full year and provides participating members with several benefits intended to reduce the effort involved in finding and applying available promotions.
Among the program’s features is automatic application of daily promotional codes available through participating dealers. Members can also receive an additional 2-cent-per-gallon discount when ordering from participating dealers identified with a green check mark on the Codfuel.com platform.
The automatic discount can be combined with the current applicable promotional code offered by a participating dealer. This structure is intended to make promotional savings easier to access during the ordering process without requiring customers to manually enter a code.
Additional support for heating system maintenance
The subscription program also includes a one-time $25 discount on an eligible tune-up or repair service. Members receive the discount automatically when applicable, providing an additional benefit beyond heating oil delivery.
Subscribers also receive two free order cancellations, subject to the program’s applicable terms. This feature provides additional flexibility for customers who need to change or cancel an order.
Availability of certain discounts and services may vary by area. Promotional discounts are not applicable to Flash Bashes, Price Bombs or other special pricing sales where products or services are already offered at reduced prices.
Weekly giveaways included for subscribers
Another component of the program is automatic enrollment in weekly drawings for free heating oil and other prizes. Winners are notified by email and receive three email reminders. According to the program terms, winners must respond within three days of notification or the prize may be forfeited.
Free oil deliveries are scheduled within seven days after prize confirmation. If a customer’s heating oil tank becomes full before the complete prize amount can be delivered, no credit is issued for the remaining amount.
The subscription program can also provide members with access to private sales when such offers are available. These opportunities are communicated through email invitations to eligible subscribers.
Annual membership without automatic renewal charges
Codfuel.com states that the subscription does not require automatic renewal charges. Members can renew each year or allow the subscription to expire on its expiration date. The program does not provide refunds on subscriptions.
The company is highlighting the subscription program as part of its broader effort to provide homeowners with a more convenient way to manage heating oil purchases, promotions and maintenance-related savings through its online platform.
