Charlie Pesti Rebrands as Pesti
A new era for the supply chain marketing and PR consulting firm. 'The name 'Charlie Pesti' no longer reflected the scale, impact, and collaborative strength we've grown into. Pesti is a brand built to lead with purpose and grow with our clients.'— Charlie Pesti, Founder FORT WASHINGTON, PA, UNITED STATES, July 21, 2025 / / -- Today, the communications firm formerly known as Charlie Pesti officially announced its rebrand to Pesti, unveiling a new name, logo, and brand identity that reflects its remarkable evolution from a small team of PR and supply chain enthusiasts to a global agency with a presence in six countries across five continents. The rebrand represents more than a name change — it marks a pivotal moment in the company's journey. What began as a founder-led venture has grown into an international team, trusted by clients around the world and supporting the families of team members across cultures and time zones. With this growth comes a new chapter — one where no individual is bigger than the business itself. 'The name 'Charlie Pesti' no longer reflected the scale, impact, and collaborative strength of the company we've become,' said Charlie Pesti, Founder. 'Pesti is a brand built to lead with purpose, inspire trust, and help our clients grow. It reflects not just who we are, but where we're going.' A Logo Designed to Lead --------------------------------- The new Pesti logo embodies the firm's strategic vision. Its bold geometry and clean lines signal strength, trust, and stability, while an upward angular cut symbolizes forward momentum. Designed on a precise 4x4 grid, the mark balances clarity with depth — echoing the company's commitment to long-term partnerships and impactful storytelling. A key visual element of the new brand is a green chat box icon, inspired by the universal speech bubble. With rounded yet structured angles and a directional cut, it subtly forms the inner and outer circles of the letter 'P', reinforcing Pesti's mission: to create meaningful conversations that move their clients' market voice forward — clearly, confidently, and strategically. 'At 451°, we believe branding is about capturing the soul of a story. For Pesti, we crafted a visual and verbal identity that distills tradition, energy, and contemporary elegance — turning their heritage into a bold, modern brand experience,' said Ernesto Rinaldi, Director at 451°. 'It was a true pleasure collaborating with Charlie — his clarity of vision and trust in the creative process made the work not only meaningful, but genuinely enjoyable.' A Brand Built for the Future ------------------------------------ Pesti's new identity is more than a visual upgrade — it's a foundation to meet the demands of a rapidly changing communications landscape, thrive across platforms, and speak with immediacy, purpose, and intent. 'Every aspect of our new identity — from the name to the logo — was intentionally crafted to reflect the responsibility we carry and the clarity we bring,' said Priyanka Ann Sani, Executive Director, Pesti Group. 'We're not just creating visibility — we're building trust, one message at a time.'

Multinational K-pop Group ARrC Brings Hope into 2025 with their Third Mini-Album
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 16, 2025 / / -- ARrC, a multinational K-pop boy group under MYSTIC STORY, has released their third mini album, HOPE. This album comes about five months after the release of their second mini album, nu kidz: out the box, in February 2025. Similar to the meaning behind the group's name, Always Remember the real Connection, HOPE reflects ARrC's message of finding connection, overcoming uncertainty, and discovering optimism in a chaotic world. 'We're very thrilled and excited to be back with a new album after about 5 months since our last release. Our third mini album, HOPE, conveys the youth's complicated emotions with honesty and depth, and it means a lot to me personally because I got to participate in our album as a lyricist for the first time. All members poured much thought and effort into expressing ARrC's unique color more vividly through this album, and we're confident that we have created an album with a great level of completeness. We hope to send positive energy and solace to many people through our music and new album.' - HYUNMIN, member of ARrC The first and title track of HOPE, ' awesome ' re-interprets early 2000s hip-hop sound with their own modern twist. The song describes a day full of small, unfortunate events that anyone can find themselves in, but encourages listeners to shout out the word 'awesome' in response to try to turn their mood and day into something more positive. The music video was inspired by several different cultures from Korea, Japan, Indonesia, and Portugal. Using backdrops that pay homage to 1980s Japanese school films: abandoned apartments, old playgrounds, and kendo halls, the music video combines reality and symbols in striking scenes that include Dokkaebi, mythical creatures from Korean folklore. Dokkaebi for ARrC represents their inner world. The monster-like creatures in the video send a playful message: even unlucky moments can turn lucky, depending on how we look at them. Inspired by traditional masks from Indonesia's Barong, Portugal's Careto, and Korea's Hahoetal, these figures don't represent fear—they symbolize the youth's ability to turn disasters into humor, mistakes into chances, and chaos into creativity. There are four other tracks on the album: 'dawns,' 'kick back,' 'vitamin I,' and 'night life.' 'dawns' blends multiple musical genres, including nu jazz, soul, and funk, and describes the thrill of connection that removes anxiety from staring at the glowing phone screen and endlessly scrolling social media feeds throughout the long night, finally reaching the dawn of a new day. Members HYUNMIN and CHOI HAN were credited as lyricists for 'dawns,' which is a first time for both members. The third track, 'kick back,' highlights the importance of coming together as one to fight against the challenges with lines like 'We're flowers blooming on asphalt.' 'vitamin I' contains the rough energy of hip-hop, hyperpop, and electro-punk. Its overall message is that self-belief is worth far more than validation from others or other external and societal standards, while asserting that the most essential vitamin is none other than 'I,' representing oneself, imagination, identity, and infinity. The album closes with 'night life,' a neo-soul, G-funk slow jam track with lo-fi sound that portrays the image of a youth making diligent efforts for their dreams in a silent city at dawn while everyone else is asleep. The album represents ARrC's core messaging of making real connections and striving for a better tomorrow through concentrated efforts and sincerity. 'I'm very excited to present new music to everyone after a while. This album expresses what ARrC thinks and feels these days with much sincerity, so I personally resonate with this album a lot. We shared many conversations and ideas while working on this album, especially about how we can convey certain emotions through music, and I hope all the listeners can relate to our message and sincerity. As always, we'll give our best in the album promotion activities, and we ask for your love and support.' - DOHA, member of ARrC Along with teasing for HOPE, the group released 'SKIID,' a preview of what's to come after the release of HOPE. Sharing a preview track for the following album as a part of the current album's teaser is ARrC's signature method of connecting first with their fans, ARrCer, so that the fans can be a part of the group's artistic journey. For their new album, ARrC also collaborated with Karafuru, a global character entity. Following the album's title, their collaboration centers around the theme of 'HOPE' and ARrC will continue sharing the energy of hope and positivity by expanding into various areas such as fan meetings, exhibitions, pop-up stores, merchandise, digital projects, collaboration artwork, and music projects with characters of Karafuru. ARrC and Karafuru's collaboration garners great attention with its attempt at a unique global project beyond music. ABOUT ARrC ARrC is a seven-member K-Pop group and is the first boy group from MYSTIC STORY. The members include ANDY, CHOI HAN, DOHA, HYUNMIN, JIBEEN, KIEN, and RIOTO. Their group name is an acronym for 'Always Remember the real Connection,' signifying the importance of sincere connection beyond space, time, and differences. They debuted on August 19, 2024, with the first mini album, AR^C. Two weeks after their debut, ARrC surpassed 100 million cumulative social media content views and achieved more than nine million search term views on China's biggest social media platform, Weibo. In January 2025, ARrC received a Rising Male Idol Award voted by the Vietnamese audience at the Korea First Brand Awards 2025. In May, the group was also selected as a Rising Idol of the Year at the Brand Customer Loyalty Awards 2025. In the same month, ARrC attended KCON JAPAN 2025 and shared their first official stage with local fans, taking one more step as a global artist. As a multinational group with members from South Korea, Japan, the United States, Vietnam, and Brazil, ARrC is ready to expand their reach and share the group's color with global music fans, backed by their connections and energy that transcend the boundaries.
