Eighteen months after adopting Hubspots all-in-one marketing platform, Tampa, Florida-based Acoustiblok has increased website traffic by 210 percent, increased organic search leads by 307 percent, and increased customer transactions by 40 percent, contributing to Acoustibloks record sales increases in 2011.
Hubspot named Acoustiblok a best practices customer based on its application of Hubspot marketing tools for website management, blogging, search engine optimization (SEO), lead management, marketing analytics, social media monitoring, and website analysis.
Being recognized by an industry leader as a best practices customer is a real accomplishment, and one weve worked hard to achieve, said Liz Ernst, director of public relations for Acoustiblok, Inc. We have a small marketing and PR team, and we had been trying different approaches to increase traffic and draw attention to our Acoustiblok soundproofing product line, and our Thermablok aerogel insulating strips.
Hubspot gave us some serious one-on-one attention and guidance to understand where to best devote our efforts for the greatest return on our marketing and PR campaigns.
Acoustiblok President and Founder Lahnie Johnson says that Hubspot provided the traffic building tools he had been looking for in order to achieve the huge growth goals the company had set for itself.

As sound waves cause the Acoustiblok material to flex, internal friction occurs and the acoustical energy is transformed into undetectable trace amounts of heat.
Just one, 1/8 inch layer of Acoustiblok in a standard wall will result in more sound reduction than 12-inches of poured concrete. Environmentally friendly, Acoustiblok contains no lead, barium, or asbestos, is UV resistant and impervious to water and mold; it is UL rated and classified for all wall, floor, and ceiling installations.
Acoustiblok received first place product awards from the British House of Commons, and was named Builder News Magazines Product of the Year. The company was named in NASAs annual list of top 49 Spin-Off companies for its use of aerogel technology in its Thermablok insulating strips.

Seattle Contractor Provides Green Winterizing Tips
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) January 20, 2012
In light of the recent Washington winter storm, Seattle contractor, Better Builders shares expertise in sustainable building practices. The main problem most homeowners face is how to keep energy in, and the elements out. In addition, a big cost saver comes from using eco-friendly products that save resources like water and electricity.
Lighting Solutions
There are a number of sustainable solutions that can help reduce utility bills each month, while giving residents the piece of mind that comes from green living. A big movement in recent years has been the switch from traditional light bulbs to halogen or LED light bulbs. The typical LED light bulb only uses about 5-15% the energy required by a traditional incandescent light bulb. While there may be some initial cost outlay in the process of changing out the homes lights, homeowners will see dramatic savings to their electricity bill due to the increased efficiency and extended life of the sustainable lighting alternative.
Heating Solutions
Another effective energy saver is sealing drafts around doors and windows. According to a report by the US Department of Energy, taking care of drafts around the house can save between 5-30% on energy bills per year. Simple solutions to the problem are products called draft snakes. These basic draft liners are a good temporary solution, but a more thorough evaluation and permanent application of weather sealers around windows and doors will not only save energy in the winter and summer, but also make the home more attractive when it needs to be put on the market. To create more efficiency with the homes heating, a simple modification can also save on the heating bill. By flipping the ceiling fan blades around in the winter months, the fan will draw the cool air up and push the warm air down where it is needed.
While many energy saving techniques fall in the Do It Yourself category, it is a good idea to consult with a green home contractor to tackle the more involved projects. Seattle custom home builder, Better Builders, provides cutting-edge, sustainable work as well as installs Energy Star equipment.
About Better Builders
Better Builders is a premier builder of quality homes, remodels, and commercial tenant improvement projects in Seattle. We are a dedicated green contractor that will meet your time line and on budget.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) January 20, 2012
Cruise into the Gateway City to experience the history, fashion, food and music of the elegant Edwardian era during St. Louis Titanic Centennial Weekend, April 13-15, 2012. For more information, click on http://www.explorestlouis.com or http://www.titanic2012stl.com or call 314-657-5033. Tickets for all events and accommodations are also available through Metrotix at 314-534-1111 or http://www.metrotix.com.
One hundred years ago this April, a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch scored one of the biggest stories of the 20th century the sinking of the H.M.S. Titanic.
St. Louis journalist Carlos Hurd was aboard the Carpathia, the vessel that scooped up Titanics lifeboat-clinging survivors. Hurd and his wife Katherine were the first to interview the eyewitnesses to the downing of the unsinkable ocean liner. He wrote the world-wide headline story on rolls of toilet paper during the voyage that brought those rescued into New York harbor. Today, the legendary ship continues to make headlines in St. Louis where a weekend of special commemorative events will take place to remember this ever-fascinating piece of history.
On Friday, April 13, the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park serves up an Edwardian Champagne Reception prior to a screening of the classic 1958 Titanic film, A Night to Remember. Guests also will view Titanic-related artifacts from the Museums collection.
The highlight of the weekend takes place at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on Saturday, April 14. The Foxs executive chef Stephen Proctor along with the culinary teaching staff at LEcole Culiniare will recreate the original First Class menu served to Titanic guests on the actual 100th anniversary of the last dinner on the ship. The historic menu was meticulously researched to authentically recreate the sumptuous eleven-course meal and accompanying wines. The Titanic-sized menu includes oysters a la Russe, poached salmon, filet mignon, chicken Lyonnaise, roasted squab and Waldorf pudding.
Diners will have the opportunity to experience A Taste of History: Last Dinner on the Titanic while seated on the stage at St. Louis Fabulous Fox Theatre. The evening is black tie. Dinner guests are encouraged to wear vintage attire (white tie for men). Upon arrival, guests will receive a boarding pass and envelope containing the name and biography of an actual first-class passenger from the Titanic. Guests can be assured that the only ice afloat at the Fox this evening will be found in drinking glasses.
Prior to dinner, a period-style cocktail reception featuring live music popular during 1912 will fill the Fox Theatres elaborate Grand Lobby. Between courses, guests will be entertained with incredible stories about the Titanic told by actors portraying passengers and crew who had been aboard the fateful ship including Missouris-own Unsinkable Molly Brown. Proceeds from the evening benefit the Fox Performing Arts Charitable Foundation, a not-for-profit which fosters and promotes the performing arts in the St. Louis area.
Those who survive the Saturday evening soiree can partake in a special champagne brunch at the Piper Palm House, the oldest standing greenhouse west of the Mississippi River. Located in St. Louis Victorian-designed Tower Grove Park, the Palm Houses distinctive architecture, soaring ceiling, stately windows and exotic plants, resemble the Titanics Verandah Caf

NYC’s Only Progressive Dance and Creative Arts School Opens in SoHo
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 10, 2012
On February 6, 2012, performer and educator Rosie Lanziero will open doors for the first semester of Soul Arts Academy, NYCs only progressive dance academy and creative arts school in a new space in the heart of SoHo. The space at 552 Broadway will mark the expansion of a well-loved performing arts program called Sweet Soul Movement, and will offer dance and performing arts classes for students ages 2 and up.
The new 5,500 square foot location designed by studio l.ark architect Jennifer Logun, whose son currently attends Soul Arts Academys Boys Club classes, was secured by CORE Realty, and is one of the only community spaces in the neighborhood. The space pays homage to Lanzieros deep ties to the downtown neighborhood and its once thriving arts community.
The space boasts high ceilings, 3 large, sun-lit dance studios and an intimate rehearsal room. The academy programming is semester-based and also includes a popular full-day Summer Arts Workshop, featuring celebrity New York guest performers, dance and performance classes, field trips, and an instructional swim program.
After being inspired in 2004 by the birth of her own daughter, Lanziero sought to find an immersive creative arts program that involved children in the learning process. Not finding one, Lanziero was moved to begin her own program, a single dance class that she taught at the Houston Street Center. Since then, Lanziero has grown the program in a rented space on Lafayette Street to over 200 students in 20 classes, and a full staff of top-tier instructors.
It has always been my dream to create a unique learning environment centered around mind-body literacy, where children are taught to be good people, using their bodies in creative and empowering ways which they can take with them for the rest of their lives, said Lanziero. My style of teaching children is to honor them as people and to never dumb things down for them to have them be co-creators in the learning process.
Class sizes at Soul Arts Academy range from 6 to 12 students, ensuring individualized attention to students and instruction tailor-made to the unique qualities of each student. In 2012 Lanziero aims to accommodate some 300 students and will expand the Soul Arts Academy curriculum to include Circus Acrobatics, Bharata Natyam (Classical Indian Dance), African, Salsa and Social Dance. The expanded program will also feature a teen and adult dance division.
Soul Art’s Spring Semester begins on February 6, 2012.
An Open House event will take place for enrolled and perspective families on January 22, 2012 from 1pm to 4pm at 552 Broadway, between Prince and Spring Streets in SoHo.
Soul Arts Academy, New York’s only progressive dance and creative arts school, combines exceptional artistic instruction with the development of the whole student, (SoulArtsAcademy.com).
Soul Art’s core curriculum includes Ballet, Modern and Hip-Hop, as well as unique electives such as Bharata Natyam, African, Tap and Circus Arts. At Soul Arts, students are encouraged to discover their artistic potential individually and communally in a supportive, non-competitive environment.
For more information or to arrange an interview with Rosie Lanziero, contact Susan Stockman at 212-529-1598 or susan(at)shpny(dot)com. For more information about Soul Arts Academy, please visit SoulArtsAcademy.com.
