Longwood, Florida

As Central Florida approaches the final stretch of hurricane season, John Keller Roofing reports a sharp rise in late‑season moisture intrusion cases across Longwood, Orlando, and surrounding communities. With hurricane season officially ending October 31, roofing experts warn that the combination of lingering humidity, repeated rainfall, and rapid temperature swings is creating ideal conditions for hidden roof deterioration.

According to field observations from John Keller Roofing, moisture intrusion is now appearing in homes that previously showed no visible signs of damage. The company attributes this trend to late‑season weather patterns that intensify existing vulnerabilities, especially in aging roofs or roofs exposed to prolonged heat earlier in the summer.

“Moisture intrusion is one of the most dangerous forms of late‑season roof damage because homeowners often don’t see it until it spreads,” said John Keller, owner of John Keller Roofing. “Our goal is to help families stay safe, protect their homes, and avoid costly emergencies. If you live in Longwood, Orlando, or anywhere in Central Florida, this is the time to act. Late‑season storms can escalate quickly, and early detection makes all the difference.”

The company advises homeowners to take immediate steps to reduce risk, including scheduling a roof inspection, checking for subtle lifting or warping, reviewing attic moisture levels, and documenting roof conditions before additional storms arrive. High‑urgency guidance is recommended due to the increased likelihood of hidden deterioration during the final weeks of the season.

John Keller Roofing notes that moisture intrusion often leads to structural weakening, mold development, and accelerated shingle failure. The company’s services — including roof repair, roof replacement, residential roofing, and commercial roofing — are designed to help homeowners stabilize their roofs before conditions worsen.

With more than 25 years serving Central Florida, John Keller Roofing continues to monitor late‑season storm impacts and encourages homeowners to take proactive steps before the season officially closes.

Independent agency expands commerce capabilities across Amazon, TikTok Shop and global ecommerce markets

NEW YORK, USA

Chief Media, an independent performance media and data science agency, today announced that it has acquired AMZ Advisers, an ecommerce and digital marketing consultancy, and, with it, AMZ Advisers’ stake in Reach Social, a creator-led social commerce agency.

The acquisitions expand Chief Media’s commerce capabilities across Amazon, TikTok Shop and other fast-growing marketplaces, providing brands with a more connected approach to paid media, marketplace strategy and social commerce as purchasing decisions increasingly move across platforms.

By acquiring the two agencies, Chief Media gains additional technology and expertise to help clients access Amazon and TikTok Shop ecommerce opportunities within its existing agency services and workflow. The expanded capabilities come as commerce across these platforms continues to grow. TikTok Shop’s U.S. ecommerce sales are forecast to reach $23.4 billion in 2026, representing a 48 percent year-over-year increase.

“It’s important to have a brand presence on new media channels, but it’s even more important to connect that presence with our performance across all other channels,” said Jerome FitzGibbons, Co-Founder, Bingi. “In making these acquisitions, Chief Media is building out valuable cross-platform capabilities that will enhance reporting, analysis and the ability to optimize our performance. We’re excited to work with them to see all of these capabilities in action.”

Chief Media will maintain the existing AMZ Advisers and Reach Social brands, and all employees will join Chief Media.

“Being on Amazon or TikTok Shop is no longer the strategy. It’s the starting point,” said Scott Paternoster, CEO of Chief Media. “The harder part is making those channels perform, using paid media to connect product discovery to actual sales and knowing where to invest next. AMZ Advisers and Reach Social bring deep expertise in two of the places where those decisions are increasingly happening. Bringing those capabilities into Chief Media gives our clients a stronger way to turn marketplace presence into measurable growth.”

Expanding Amazon Commerce Capabilities Through AMZ Advisers

AMZ Advisers is an Amazon Ads Advanced Partner that has helped more than 500 clients achieve more than $1 billion in revenue on Amazon. The agency helps establish brands within Amazon’s retail environment, handling inventory logistics and creating a presence optimized for performance.

“Over the past several years, Amazon has become a competitive retail environment with its own set of rules,” said Mike Begg, Co-Founder and CEO of AMZ Advisers. “At the same time, the rapid growth of the Amazon DSP means that brands need technology designed specifically for this environment. We’re excited to be part of Chief Media and help clients truly maximize their performance across all of the most important channels.”

AMZ Advisers’ platform offers brands the ability to establish international Amazon storefronts while supporting order fulfillment, shipping and other logistics capabilities.

Consumers outside the United States spent nearly $162 billion within Amazon’s international marketplaces in 2025, representing a 13 percent increase from the previous year.

This capability allows Chief Media to bring brand clients into global markets and gives companies with existing international ecommerce operations additional resources to scale within Amazon’s ecosystem.

“Setting up an international ecommerce presence can be challenging, because every country has its own unique rules and regulations,” said Nick Signoriello, Partner & Director of Expansion at AMZ Global Advisers. “AMZ Advisers has built solutions that help brands navigate these nuances and set up their global presence quickly. We’re excited to join Chief Media to bring these services to their existing clients, while also continuing to expand the global footprint and enter new and emerging markets.”

Adding Creator-Led Social Commerce Through Reach Social

Reach Social helps brands grow on platforms such as TikTok Shop by connecting them with creators and managing the social-commerce sales funnel, including affiliate matchmaking, short-form content and livestreams.

“Conversions happen when brands sell where customers are already scrolling, and TikTok Shop’s rapid growth is proof,” said Jackie He, Co-Founder, Reach Social. “Chief Media has a legacy of helping clients grow through a data-driven performance marketing approach. We’re excited to join the team and help brands of all sizes embrace the future of ecommerce.”

Reach Social’s relationships with TikTok creators help connect brands with creator-generated content designed for the platform. Clients working with creators through Reach Social will now be able to use this content across their broader performance media programs, including other social platforms and connected television.

Connecting Media, Marketplaces and Commerce

Chief Media handles cross-channel media planning, buying and attribution for growth-focused brands, connecting televisions, mobile devices, browsers, apps and purchase data into a unified identity framework designed to measure how advertising exposure contributes to real-world sales.

Its Continuum platform brings data, media planning, campaign execution and optimization together with a single view of performance across channels.

With the addition of AMZ Advisers and Reach Social, Chief Media is extending that connected approach further into ecommerce and social commerce, giving clients additional capabilities to manage and measure performance from media exposure through purchase.

The acquisition was first reported by Adweek.

Identity Sports Executive Director Zach Vogel launches “True Identity,” a new 31-day devotional exploring what defines athletes beyond performance.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz

For athletes, identity can become tangled up in numbers: wins, stats, playing time, rankings and roster spots. Zach Vogel knows what happens when all of that disappears.

Vogel, executive director of Scottsdale-based nonprofit Identity Sports, is the author of “True Identity: An Athlete’s Guide to Finding Peace in All Circumstances,” a new 31-day Christian devotional that challenges athletes to separate who they are from how they perform.

The book brings together stories from professional and collegiate athletes across baseball, football, golf and more. Among those featured are PGA TOUR golfer and multiple major champion Scottie Scheffler, World Series champions Clayton Kershaw and Dansby Swanson, Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little, seven-time LPGA Tour winner Angela Stanford, Cy Young Award winner Robbie Ray and former NFL linebacker and two-time Pro Bowler Lorenzo Alexander.

They are just a few of the athletes and sports figures whose experiences appear throughout the 31-day devotional, which also includes stories from rising players, former professionals and competitors navigating the pressures and transitions that come with life in sports. Their experiences explore a question that reaches far beyond the scoreboard: What happens when the thing you do becomes the way you define yourself?

For Vogel, that question became personal when he was young. At 8 years old, he experienced a frightening medical event on the baseball field but was initially misdiagnosed and continued playing. Two years later, at age 10, he received the diagnosis that changed everything: He was told he could no longer play sports. Baseball was more than a game. It was the future he imagined for himself. In an instant, the identity he had built around being an athlete was shaken. The years that followed brought anxiety, depression and isolation, experiences that would eventually shape both his work with Identity Sports and the message behind “True Identity.”

“When baseball was taken away, it felt like my identity was taken away with it,” Vogel said. “I had built everything around what I did and who I thought I was going to become. When that disappeared, I didn’t know who I was anymore.”

A turning point came through Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Vogel began to see the verse differently. Rather than a promise that every goal would turn out as planned, it became a reminder that faith could provide strength when circumstances did not.

That idea sits at the heart of “True Identity”: A person’s worth cannot rest on something as temporary as a scoreboard, starting position, career or championship.

The devotional is organized around four themes:

• Foundation: Separating identity from performance before pressure and expectations take over.
• Pressure: Navigating perfectionism, comparison, competition and the need to prove yourself.
• Adversity: Finding perspective through slumps, injuries, being benched, closed doors and unexpected endings.
• Purpose: Looking beyond achievement to understand how faith, leadership and calling shape life during and after sports.

Each day pairs an athlete story with a biblical principle, reflection questions and prayer. The stories move through nearly every stage of an athletic career, from chasing success and dealing with expectations to navigating injuries, career changes and the moment competition ends altogether.

“Understanding our identity in Christ is freedom,” Vogel said. “It allows us to play like a kid again, enjoy the process and give everything we have without letting the scoreboard define us.”

The message is not limited to athletes. Vogel says the same struggle can surface anywhere people begin measuring themselves by achievement, career, status or outside approval.

“I pictured myself sitting down with that 10-year-old kid in the darkness and pain and being able to tell him that he wasn’t alone,” Vogel said. “Every athlete and every person goes through hard things. There is power in talking about it and understanding that it is OK to not be OK.”

For Identity Sports, “True Identity” is an extension of a broader mission to create conversations about faith, competition, adversity and purpose. The nonprofit reaches athletes and sports fans through live events, podcasts, digital content, devotionals and other faith-based resources.

Identity Sports also plans to launch Bible studies for different age groups and communities across the country, giving readers a way to continue exploring the themes of the book together.

For Vogel, the end goal is bigger than helping athletes handle their next win or loss. It is giving them a foundation that remains when the uniform eventually comes off.

“The game was never your identity. And it was never your final assignment,” Vogel said. “God’s plans for your life don’t expire when your circumstances change.”

“True Identity: An Athlete’s Guide to Finding Peace in All Circumstances” is available on Amazon. For more information about “True Identity,” upcoming Bible studies and Identity Sports, visit identitysports.com and identitysports.com/devotionals.
