The latest round of funding, company officials said, will be used to grow go-to- market, data science and engineering functions and expand its current product line, beginning with a software product, Predict, launched this month. In the last two weeks, Pattern89 has hired five employees, bringing its total to 20 full time, and officials told IBJ the firm would hire at least 10 more by the end of the year. Pattern89 has recently added employees in data science, sales and customer service, and is looking to add more in software engineering, sales and customer service. “This funding will allow us to continue improving our technology to gain more insights into the elements that drive advertising success—like colors, video dimensions, copy sentiment and more— and empower marketers to accurately predict what will work for their digital creative, rather than guessing at what might work,” said Pattern89 CEO and founder R.J. Talyor. Pattern89 has previously made and marketed two software packages: Opti- mize, which gives marketers information on what is happening with their social media campaigns, and Analyze, which looks at past results. Talyor said the new software package, Predict, uses artificial intelligence to let marketers know if a campaign will work before it is launched. “Pattern89 has seen tremendous growth and success over the past year, and High Alpha is excited to be doubling down on our investment in R.J., the Pattern89 team and the future of marketing AI,” High Alpha partner Eric Tobias said in a written statement. “Pattern89 is leading marketers into the future of AI-led creative performance, which is espe- cially critical today as COVID-19 has disrupted online behaviors and existing social algorithms.” Pattern89 measures more than 49,000 creative dimensions across 1,300 global brands to analyze and predict what drives the best ad performance with over 95% accuracy, company officials said. The company’s social media adver- tising trend data has been featured in the New York Times, Adweek and Ad Age. Pattern89 hasn’t been hurt by the pandemic, Talyor said. “We actually believe the pandemic is giving Pattern89 a tailwind.” Since the pandemic has turned histor- ical trend data upside down, Talyor said, marketers are looking for tools to help 8A | INDIANAPOLIS BUSINESS JOURNAL | JULY 3, 2020 IN THE WORKPLACE Three variables will make or break successful return to the office of their strategy they can comfortably At Advisa, we find there to be four broad Rekindling the productivity of those see better—ignoring the softer, less vis- types of strategic culture: people will rely on their engagement, ible aspects that make organizations ◗ Exploring: visionary, innovating which we define as a person’s emotional truly healthy. products and services that are unique to commitment to the company and its goals.

Livery demolished to make way for theater The Wood Livery Stable had been a fixture in the southeast quadrant of Monument Circle from 1834—when it was opened by John Wood, who came to Indianapolis from Maysville, Kentucky—until it moved in 1915. In those years, the business was passed down from John Wood to his son, John M. Wood, and then to his son, Horace Wood, who moved the business to Meridian Street. The stable was demolished in 1915, and the site is shown in this 1916 photo, before construction of The Circle Theatre began.

If the volume of questions he receives continues to grow, Houston said, he knows piano players who can help answer them. Key to success The biggest key to Piano in a Flash’s success might be its teaching method. Houston eschews traditional—and often complicated—sheet music for a simplified type called a lead sheet. Oddly, it’s the kind often used by profes- sional performers. “The thing that stumps people from playing piano is not putting fingers to keys,” Houston said. “It’s that they never become good enough to read the notation.” Houston knew from his own experi- ence how easy the solution is. “When I saw a lead sheet for the first time, I said, ‘For god’s sake, why didn’t we start with this?’ Reading [traditional sheet music] was like walking 10 miles trying to get to a place that was a mile away,” Houston said. Mills explained that a lead sheet has “a single note melody line and, above that note, it has the chords. It can get you started playing fairly quickly. You don’t get overwhelmed by all those black dots.” “The method I use to teach allows you to sound a lot hipper a lot faster,” Hous- ton said. RuthAnn Funderburk, a Texas school- teacher, has tried for years to learn how to play piano. She got so frustrated in her attempts that the mere sight of the piano in her house was unpleasant. Earlier this year, she ran across a Facebook ad for Piano in a Flash. She got sucked into Houston’s 90-minute infomercial and, before she knew it, she was paying $699 for all six Piano in a Flash courses. A single course—which takes about four months to complete— costs $149. She started the program June 12. On the first day, the 66-year-old was playing “Amazing Grace” so well, her husband thought it was coming from the TV. “It was a paradigm shift that was so amazing to me. It was 180 degrees from my previous piano lessons,” Funderburk said. “Now, playing is just too much fun.” Less than three weeks in, she said, she can play 15 songs, including “Edel- weiss,” “Ain’t Nothin’ But a Hound Dog” and “Aura Lea.” trucks_factbox Audrey

But he didn’t survive the final cut. The Hawks were among the slowest NBA teams to integrate. They had drafted Bill Russell a year earlier and immediately traded him to Boston for two white players.

Do your research Choosing a project can be exciting, but figuring out exactly how to do it is an altogether more difficult task. “Before you start a project, watch a number of videos on how to do it so you can make sure you understand the pro- cess,” says Steph Kostopoulos. “By watch- ing multiple sources, you’ll be able to get an idea of how it’s done.” YouTube has countless hours of DIY videos, but the quality varies. For con- sistent and knowledgeable how-to videos, check out This Old House, a home improvement series that makes seem- ingly complicated DIY projects more accessible. Apartment Therapy is another reliable resource.

Set your project budget You know what you want to accomplish and how you would do it — but can you afford it? Make sure you know the total cost of a project, then review your budget and see how much of your expendable income can be allocated for it. The budgeting process might take some negotiation between what you can afford right now and what you want to accomplish. Given that we’re in a reces- sion, it’s best to avoid going into debt or tapping your emergency fund for home improvements. Consider making a simple spreadsheet that lists the items you need and how much they’ll cost. That lets you prepare for and track the cost of the project. And pad it a bit because your project will likely cost more than that when it’s done, Barker says. “You always have to add in 10% or 15% of cost overage to your project budget,” she says. “You never know if your dog or cat could knock over your can of paint, then you have to buy another. Expect the unexpected as part of your budgeting.” If you find the total expenses are more than what you can afford right now, see if you can divide the project into more manageable chunks over time. This will help you get started without stretching your finances.•

because I ended up where I needed to be. I enjoyed the volume of the work and its diversity. My colleagues on the Supreme Court spend a lot of time deciding what not to decide, but one thing the Court of Appeals does is, we don’t get to pick our inventory. Our process is, you don’t pick the cases you want to write on — you get randomly assigned to be the majority writer unless two other people don’t agree with you. I liked it and I still like it. Given the pandemic, will you return to your chambers or finish your term at home? I’m going to finish it out at home, in order to make it work because of the pan- demic. I would’ve stayed until the last day — we had planned a nice retirement ceremony on July 30, but of course that’s all been continued indefinitely. When I retire, then somebody will move into my office. Mine is the nicest one to move into, and the rookie — my replacement — will go into another office. All of that requires room changes, so I thought I’d help my colleagues by getting out of the way. What’s been the hardest part of your job, and the best part?
