Australia, 13th Nov 2026 – Digital Growth Notes, a plain-language information guide, has launched a reference library of more than 20 articles on digital marketing, technology and business growth. The guide is written for readers who want clear explanations of how digital tools and growth strategies work. It does not take bookings or quotes, and it presents its articles as general information rather than professional advice.

The library covers a wide range of subjects, from leadership and innovation to online conversions, open banking and the Internet of Things. A reader who wants a starting point can begin with 5 Factors Driving Growth Towards Hyper-Growth, which sets out five areas that the author connects with faster business growth.

“Digital marketing and technology are often explained in jargon, so the aim here is to explain each subject in ordinary words,” said a spokesperson for Digital Growth Notes. “A reader should be able to open an article, follow the reasoning and decide for themselves what is useful. That is why the guide remains an information resource.”

What Readers Will Find in the Library

The articles span marketing, leadership, retail, banking and emerging technology. Subjects range from what voice technology means for Australian businesses to why brands should consider virtual reality, and from how artificial intelligence can strengthen a customer relationship management system to how retailers can read the Christmas trading season.

Other articles focus on how people and organisations work. They look at testing ideas before committing to them, building and evolving partnerships, recognising when time is being wasted, and the way agile delivery is applied in practice. A client question and answer feature with an energy sector leader sits alongside them.

A Closer Look at Growth Planning

The article on five factors driving growth is bylined to a team member who holds the role of Portfolio Director. It works through demographic change, leadership development, digital acceleration, customer engagement and cloud adoption, and it treats each one as a separate lever that a growing business can examine.

Leadership development is described as part of growth planning, alongside hiring, retention and training. On digital acceleration, the article describes mid-sized firms moving from talk to action on analytics and artificial intelligence. It closes its cloud section with a three step approach summed up as ringfence, refactor and rewrite.

Technical Reading for Technology Teams

The library also serves technical readers. The Google AppEngine Benchmark, bylined to a team member who holds the role of Technical Director, compares five setups on the standard Google App Engine environment. They cover Java with Spring, Java with Thundr, Node.js with Nest, Node.js with Express and Go.

Each setup was tested at 4, 40 and 400 requests per second, with every test running for roughly ten to twelve minutes and every request running a database query that returned up to ten small records. According to the article, the runtimes behaved in a similar way up to 40 requests per second, and at 400 requests per second Go created the fewest instances while the Node.js and Nest setup created the most.

The article is careful about the limits of its own findings. PHP and Python were left out of the comparison. It notes that choosing a technology stack involves more than speed and instance counts, and that the results apply to one instance type and one kind of small query.

Looking Ahead

Digital Growth Notes said it will continue to present the library as general information, with articles written to help readers understand their options in digital marketing and technology. A newsletter is available for readers who want to follow new articles as they appear.

“An information guide is most useful when it is clear about what it is,” said a spokesperson for Digital Growth Notes. “Readers can use the articles to build their understanding, then take that understanding into their own decisions about marketing and technology.”

Digital Growth Notes Launches Guide to Digital Marketing and Technology

Wellows has launched a free AI Competitor Analysis tool that compares what an AI engine says about a brand with what it says about up to three competitors. The emailed report covers one engine per run, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode, or Google AI Overviews, and needs no account or card.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 13th Nov 2026 – Wellows has launched a free AI Competitor Analysis tool that shows the claims an AI engine makes about a brand’s rivals but not about the brand itself. The tool compares a brand’s domain with up to three competitor domains across many AI answers and emails a report when it is ready.

AI engines describe brands in their own words, and the claims they repeat about one company are often missing from what they say about another. The tool is built to make those differences visible. Users enter their domain, an email address, and up to three competitor domains, then choose one engine and one of eight countries to ask from: the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Germany, India, Australia, or Canada. Comparing engines means running the tool again and reading the reports side by side.

For each run, Wellows asks the same fixed branded question about every brand, many times within one time window. Each answer comes from a fresh session with no memory or custom instructions, and answers from outside the window are rejected. Claims from all brands’ answers are pooled into one deduplicated list, and every answer is scored against it, with the source sentence kept for each score. Answers about the wrong company score zero on every claim and are counted separately. The report names the engine and the date.

The report has four parts: how the engine files each brand, scored against the same claims; which of the brand’s pages the engine reads and which it cites; which claims repeat across answers and which appear only once; and a ranked list of gaps, each with a suggested change, ordered by size.

“Asking an engine once tells you very little, because answers vary,” said Masab Gadit, Founder and CEO of Wellows. “Asking many times in the same window shows which claims it keeps repeating about a rival and never says about you.”

Agencies can run the tool on a prospect and its rivals and use the gaps as a draft scope of work. Brands can find a rival’s claim they should own, make the change, and run the tool again to see whether the answer shifted. A run with three competitors took about 20 minutes in Wellows’ own test. Users can close the tab and follow the emailed link when the report is ready.

The tool measures what an engine knows and repeats about a brand, not whether it recommends the brand for a category. Each report is a snapshot, answers vary between runs, and two runs are comparable only when the engine and country match. Each run sits at a private link, competitors are not notified, and report pages are set not to be indexed.

Wellows is also running a free live webinar series, “Are you in the AI answer?”, for brands and agencies. The weekly sessions are held live on Zoom and focus on AI visibility.

The AI Competitor Analysis tool is free to use and available now on the Wellows competitor analysis page.

Wellows Launches Free AI Competitor Analysis Tool for LLMs

Drug-prevention initiative reaches runners and spectators at the 2026 Athens Marathon, with 49 athletes joining the campaign and Greek ultramarathon runner George Kyriakoulakos supporting its message.

Brussels, Belgium, 13th Nov 2026 — Volunteers associated with the Foundation for a Drug-Free World distributed more than 23,000 drug-prevention booklets during five days of activities surrounding the 43rd Athens Marathon, the Authentic, bringing educational materials to an international gathering of athletes, families and spectators.

The initiative took place from 4 to 8 November, beginning at the official Marathon Expo and concluding at the historic Panathenaic Stadium, commonly known as Kallimarmaro, where runners crossed the finish line. 49 athletes participated in the races wearing Drug-Free World T-shirts, extending the initiative’s visibility beyond its information stands.

The activities coincided with a record-breaking edition of Greece’s largest running event. More than 85,000 participants registered across the weekend’s races, representing approximately 124 countries, with around 25,000 registered for the traditional 42.195-kilometre marathon.

Four Days of Public Education at the Marathon Expo

From 4 to 7 November, Drug-Free World volunteers operated stand number 144 at the Allwyn Marathon Expo, held at the Indoor Stadium of Palaio Faliro, a former Olympic venue.

The exhibition, organised in connection with the marathon by the Hellenic Athletics Federation (SEGAS), brought together more than 180 sporting brands and services, alongside organisations involved in health, fitness and athletic activities.

During the four-day exhibition, volunteers distributed approximately 18,000 copies of The Truth About Drugs educational booklets, together with 35 information packs and 66 DVDs.

The materials explain the effects and risks associated with commonly misused substances, including alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, synthetic drugs and the misuse of prescription medication. They are intended to support informed decisions, particularly among young people, by presenting drug-related information in accessible language.

The exhibition provided an opportunity to reach people already engaged in sport and physical activity, as well as parents, coaches and other visitors attending the event.

A further element of the initiative involved inviting registered athletes to carry the campaign’s message during their races. 49 runners agreed to wear Drug-Free World shirts, connecting the prevention message with the wider sporting community.

An Ultramarathon Runner Linking Sport and Prevention

Among those representing the initiative was Greek ultramarathon runner George Kyriakoulakos, whose involvement in drug-prevention education predates this year’s Athens Marathon.

Kyriakoulakos, founder of the UltraMarathon Greece and Ligo Akoma platforms, has participated in demanding endurance events, including the Spartathlon and other ultradistance competitions.

His commitment to drug education has also been documented independently of the current event.

In a September 2025 interview with UltraMarathon Greece, Kyriakoulakos described his participation in the Citizens’ Initiative for a Drug-Free Greece, a volunteer effort providing information to students, athletes and the wider public.

He explained that the initiative conducts presentations in schools and sporting environments to improve awareness of drug-related risks. Reflecting on the connection between athletics and prevention, he stated that sport should inspire, strengthen people and remain free from drugs.

His involvement illustrates how volunteer initiatives can develop relationships with individuals who are already active in community organisations and sporting networks.

Rather than treating prevention as a subject limited to schools or formal awareness campaigns, the Athens activities placed educational information in a setting where health, physical endurance and personal choices were already subjects of public interest.

Drug-Prevention Outreach at the Historic Finish Line

On Sunday, 8 November, the volunteers continued their activities at the Panathenaic Stadium, the marble stadium associated with the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.

The stadium hosted the finish of the Authentic Marathon, whose traditional route begins in the town of Marathon and passes through eastern Attica before entering central Athens.

The volunteers operated an information stand at the stadium, distributing approximately 5,500 additional booklets to people attending the event.

This second phase brought the campaign into contact with the marathon’s finishing area, where runners, accompanying families and spectators gathered throughout the day.

The 2026 marathon weekend also included 5-kilometre and 10-kilometre events, university races, children’s competitions and activities involving athletes with disabilities, reflecting the breadth of participation in the annual sporting programme.

Together, the exhibition and stadium activities accounted for more than 23,000 educational booklets distributed, alongside the additional audiovisual and information materials provided during the week.

A Wider International Drug-Education Programme

The Athens activities formed part of the international Truth About Drugs campaign developed by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World.

The Foundation produces educational booklets, documentaries, public-service announcements and online learning materials intended to inform young people and adults about substance misuse.

Its materials are available in multiple languages, including Greek, allowing volunteers and participating organisations to adapt their outreach to local communities.

The programme is supported internationally by the Church of Scientology and its members. The Church identifies drug-prevention education as one of the humanitarian initiatives inspired by its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, who placed emphasis on personal responsibility, education and addressing social problems through practical action.

In Greece, Church of Scientology volunteers have previously participated in drug-awareness activities connected with the Athens Marathon, including outreach documented during the 2022 edition.

The latest initiative continues that involvement through public information stands and participation by members of the sporting community.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, connected the Athens activities with wider European principles of prevention and civic responsibility.

“Sport brings people together across generations, nationalities and backgrounds. When volunteers use occasions such as the Athens Marathon to share information about drug-related risks, they contribute to a culture of prevention and informed personal choice. Across Europe, access to education and responsible civic participation are important elements of protecting individual well-being and strengthening our communities.”

The Athens campaign reflects an approach to prevention that relies on accessible educational materials and volunteer participation in public events.

While distribution figures measure the reach of the materials rather than subsequent changes in behaviour, they illustrate the scale of the volunteers’ activities during a major international sporting occasion.

The combination of educational stands, participating athletes and the involvement of established endurance runners brought the subject of drug awareness into a public setting extending beyond conventional classroom-based prevention activities.

About the Church of Scientology

The Church of Scientology, founded by L. Ron Hubbard, supports social betterment initiatives addressing drug prevention, human rights education, moral values and volunteer assistance. Churches of Scientology, missions, affiliated groups and individual members are present throughout the European continent, contributing to locally organised educational and community activities. Recognition of Scientology as a bona fide religion and the charitable status of its institutions has developed across different national jurisdictions, although legal frameworks vary between European countries. The Church’s humanitarian programmes reflect its stated commitment to education, prevention, individual responsibility and community betterment.
