💙 If you've ever felt the shadow of su***de—whether it touched your own life, your family, or your friends—you know the silence can be deafening.

AFSP Central Texas Chapter and their volunteers don't hide behind titles; it's a personal promise to fight that silence alongside the most dedicated community I know.

TODAY at St. Edward's University, we will gather 2,000+ souls to transform grief into forward motion. This is where stories are shared, where tears are met with hugs, and where hope becomes utterly tangible.

The American Foundation for Su***de Prevention (AFSP) Central Texas Chapter's goal to surpass $225,000 isn't about the number itself; it's about the lifesaving programs those dollars fund—the research, the education, the support lines.

This mission is best embodied by our chapter's amazing Board & Walk Chair, Ashley Wolf ♾️ Her 'Team Hope Walks Here' is walking for every person who felt they couldn't take another step alone. They are walking for connection, understanding, and radical change.

Austinites, we need your help to make this promise real. Show up. Donate. Just be present. 🔮

Every single step matters. Every dollar says, "You are not alone."

You can join Ashley's team or contribute right now:

Let's walk together and remind everyone that hope is not a whisper; it's a community.

Please support the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention to help save lives and bring hope to those affected by su***de. Donate or register to walk!

📱 Texting Texas residents just got a lot riskier. Is your marketing up to date with the new Texas SB140 law?

Starting September 1, 2025, Texas Senate Bill 140 expands telemarketing laws to include all SMS marketing texts, MMS, and graphic messages sent to Texans.

🟪 What is SB140?

🔸 The law also gives consumers the right to sue companies directly for violations, with the possibility of triple damages and multiple lawsuits for repeated offenses. SB140 significantly raises compliance and legal risks for anyone texting Texans, no matter where they’re based.

🟪 Key Requirements 🔑

🔸 Unless you fall under an exemption, any business, whether local or global, must register with Texas Secretary of State AND

1. pay a $200 fee 💰 AND
2. post a $10,000 USD surety bond 💲 that is used towards damages IF your business loses in litigation.

📃 Businesses must get clear consent, provide easy opt-outs, and limit marketing texts to between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Sunday

🟪 What You Should Do 🫵

🔸Register if you send marketing texts to Texans
🔸Check for proper consent | respect opt-outs, and follow Texas SMS texting hour rules ⏰💤
🔸Get expert help to ensure your marketing stays compliant and protects your brand.

AR Media is here to assist you with your SB140 compliance assessments to ensure your brand and marketing strategies are ready to continue operating without disruption. You can contact us by emailing [email protected] or visiting our website at armediaconsult.com.

"As a lawyer, journalist and crisis management consultant, the traditional 'no comment' practice has been like nails on a chalkboard each time I read it or hear it. It’s damaging to you, your client and the market you serve," says AR Media founder Andrew Rossow in a recent interview with PR Daily.

🤬 Editorial Discretion or Censorship? Rossow Says Musk’s Apple App Store Complaint Rings Hollow, Revealing Selective Hypocrisy from the X Chairman

🟪 AR Media CEO Andrew Rossow brings a nuanced lens to the debate on Musk’s accusations of Apple App Store bias, examining the issue from the perspective of digital media and platform fairness.

🟧 In a conversation with Decrypt Media, Andrew frames the controversy as a critical look at whether Apple’s editorial choices serve legitimate curation or veer toward systematic exclusion, which impacts not just prominent voices like Musk, but the broader digital media ecosystem. He highlights that this dispute goes beyond payment systems and taps into deeper questions about the right balance between necessary moderation and undue censorship.

🛡️ For AR Media, the heart of the issue is ensuring transparency, accountability, and real opportunity for media innovators and commentators in a landscape dominated by powerful platform gatekeepers.

🟪 "The hypocrisy in Elon Musk’s claims about content and algorithmic bias is impossible to ignore. Now, he finds himself yearning for the same kind of selective treatment that he’s often been accused of seeking for his own platforms. Musk now steps into the shoes of his digital children, demonstrating just how familiar he is with the game of digital favoritism--let the games begin," Rossow observes.

Our favorite part about attending conferences like by CoinDesk is having three LONG days to catch up with our friends and media colleagues that we've known for years - many of whom we've never actually met in-person...UNTIL NOW.

There's no greater feeling.

The city of Austin added another historical achievement on Tuesday as 300 drones took over downtown Austin during CoinDesk Consensus 2024.

06/05/2024

ICYMI: Last week, the city of Austin hosted another historical event as 300 drones took over downtown Austin and produced a galaxy-themed showcase above the Austin skyline.

While this isn't the first time Austin has had a drone show, this was a novel approach to a grassroots marketing campaign to drive local Austinite curiosity.

Forbes Web3, the emerging technology editorial vertical of Forbes.com, in addition to Galxe, hosted its Inner Circle Multichain Mixer as a kickoff to the third annual conference by CoinDesk.

The event was produced by Takeover IRL, and offered its 1,500+ attendees a remarkable experience way beyond "just another party."

AR Media was brought in to help assist in showcasing a next-gen form of impactful marketing with little words and more "show."
