CEO Matthew Caiola frames the move as a signal of intent rather than a simple administrative necessity. By embedding itself in one of the nation’s fastest-growing business hubs, 5W aims to pull in top talent while accelerating its national client strategy.

5W Doubles Tampa Footprint Amid Florida Growth Push
Two floors, twenty employees, and an open door for acquisitions: 5W is staking its future on Tampa. The independent PR giant is scaling its Florida presence to capture a rapidly shifting market, betting that local roots will help navigate the complexities of AI-driven brand discovery and a changing media landscape.
Beyond physical growth, the agency is pivoting its service model to address how consumers interact with AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Leigh Ann Ambrosi, Managing Partner and EVP of Consumer Lifestyle, notes that the firm is actively redesigning its approach to brand visibility to stay ahead of these behavioral shifts. This strategy is bolstered by the agency's recent inclusion in The PR Net Top 100, a milestone that underscores its competitive standing as it eyes potential acquisitions of smaller, independent marketing firms to fold into its existing operations.
