Fresh off recognition from the Philadelphia Business Journal's Fast 50 and Titan 100, the five-star-rated agency is doubling down on AI, expanding its leadership footprint, and now serving businesses in all 50 states.

Philadelphia, PA, September 17, 2026

Momentum Digital, a five-star-rated digital marketing agency founded by former Googler Mac Frederick, has been named to the Inc. 5000 for the third consecutive year, ranking No. 124 in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro area and No. 145 in Pennsylvania. The agency also ranked No. 391 among Advertising, Marketing, and PR companies nationally.

The recognition arrives alongside a string of other honors this year: Momentum Digital was also recently named to the Philadelphia Business Journal’s Fast 50, adding to a growing list of accolades that includes the Titan 100 and six-time recognition from the Philadelphia100.

The honor lands as Momentum kicks off its 11th year in business. The agency is launching a dedicated AI division, expanding its client base to all 50 states, growing its leadership team into New Jersey and Pittsburgh, and rolling out a new brokerage partner program for freelancers and agencies ready to grow.

Mac Frederick founded Momentum after leaving a career at Google to build something of his own. Eleven years later, that bet has paid off: the agency now operates across two divisions, Momentum Digital, covering SEO, web design and management, and paid ads, and Momentum 360, covering content, social media, and video, for small and mid-sized businesses across home services, healthcare, legal, B2B, and other local industries.

“Earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 for the third year in a row, alongside recognition from the Philadelphia Business Journal’s Fast 50, the Titan 100, and six years on the Philadelphia100, says more about our team and our clients than it does about us,” said Mac Frederick, Founder and CEO of Momentum Digital. “Every business we’ve helped grow is part of that streak. That’s why we’re not treating it as a finish line. We’re building out a real AI division, not bolting one on, opening our brokerage partner program to freelancers and agencies who want to grow by partnering with us.”

A New AI Division, Expanding Nationwide

Momentum’s new AI division comes at a pivotal moment for how people find and choose businesses online. As more consumers turn to ChatGPT and other AI-driven platforms instead of traditional search engines, Momentum is positioning clients to be found first, not just found, through AI search optimization, answer and generative engine optimization (AEO/GEO), automation, and chatbot integration. The goal: measurable

AI-driven traffic, leads, and brand visibility. The investment comes as Momentum, headquartered in Philadelphia, now serves clients in all 50 states, with leadership expanding into New Jersey and Pittsburgh through a growing roster of new hires across marketing, sales, and content.

A New Brokerage Partner Program

Momentum is also launching a new brokerage partner program, giving freelancers and agencies a direct path to grow alongside the agency. Partners can plug into Momentum’s fulfillment capacity across both divisions while building their own book of business. The program is supported by Momentum’s established fulfillment infrastructure, national client reach, Google Partner and Meta Business Partner designations, and platform partnerships with Mailchimp, Wix, and Jobber.

New study of 1,000 remote U.S. workers examines job search preferences, workplace interactions, and the role of AI in professional communication.

New York, USA

A new study released by Enhancv, a global resume builder with career tools, examines how remote work preferences are influencing job searches, career decisions, and professional communication habits among U.S. remote workers.

The survey of 1,000 fully and predominantly remote U.S. workers found that 53.8% of respondents made at least one career decision in the past 12 months to avoid an in-person professional situation. These decisions included declining interviews, withdrawing from hiring processes, or passing on opportunities that involved returning to an office environment.

Among respondents who are actively searching for jobs, 42.4% said they rule out roles requiring meaningful office presence. According to Robert Half data cited in The Interview Guys’ State of Remote Work 2025 report, fully remote positions represented approximately 12% of new U.S. job postings as of mid-2025.

Survey Highlights Remote Work Preferences and Career Decisions

The Enhancv survey identified several trends among remote workers:

• 53.8% of respondents made at least one career decision in the previous year to avoid an in-person professional situation. Nearly one in five reported withdrawing from an active hiring process after learning a role required on-site work.
• 42.4% of active job seekers said they exclude roles with meaningful office requirements. Meanwhile, 25.7% would consider in-person work for the right role and compensation, while 10.5% apply without location restrictions.
• 59.8% said they would accept a lower salary in exchange for remote flexibility. Among them, 12.4% would accept a reduction of more than 20% of their income.
• 57.3% used at least one digital approach during the previous year to avoid a direct interaction, with 28.4% reporting that they defaulted to text when another communication method may have been more appropriate.
• 55.6% used artificial intelligence for a professional communication task they previously handled independently. Usage was higher among respondents under 35, at 73.5%, compared with 39.2% among respondents aged 50 and older.
• 40.9% said they have not participated in an in-person interview since transitioning to remote work.
• Responses were evenly divided on returning to a full-time office environment, with 50% feeling prepared and 50% feeling unprepared or saying they would leave their role.

Survey Examines Workplace Interaction and Professional Confidence

The study found that reduced exposure to in-person professional situations does not necessarily correspond with lower confidence among respondents who have recently experienced face-to-face interviews.

Among respondents who had participated in an in-person interview after moving to remote work, 34.1% said the experience felt about the same as before, 18.1% said it went better, and 6.9% said it went worse.

The survey also examined levels of spontaneous interaction outside the home. According to the findings, 38.3% of respondents reported having two or fewer unscripted in-person interactions per week with people outside their household, while 6.5% reported having none.

“Remote work has been good for focus and autonomy, and this data doesn’t argue with that,” said Volen Vulkov, co-founder of Enhancv. “What it shows is a narrowing. When 42.4% of remote job seekers rule out anything with office time, they’re competing for roughly 12% of the market, and that’s a strategic problem before it’s a social one. The people who have done an in-person interview recently say it goes fine. The question is what happens to the 40.9% who haven’t done one in years.”

AI Becomes a Tool for Professional Communication Support

The survey also examined how remote workers are using artificial intelligence in workplace communication.

More than half of respondents (55.6%) said they used AI for at least one professional communication task they previously managed independently. Common uses included improving professional wording, preparing for interviews, and practicing workplace conversations.

Among respondents:

• 22.7% used AI to practice interview responses.
• 20.7% used AI to prepare for difficult professional conversations.

The findings indicate that AI tools are increasingly being used as preparation resources for workplace communication, particularly among workers with limited recent experience in traditional interview settings.

About the Study

The research was based on a survey of 1,000 fully and predominantly remote U.S. workers, commissioned by Enhancv and administered by Pollfish on June 10, 2026.

Respondents qualified only if they worked fully remote, with zero required office days, or predominantly remote, with one required in-office day per week or less. Hybrid, fully in-person, and unemployed respondents were excluded.

Responses were stratified and weighted by Pollfish to address demographic imbalances within the panel. The reported margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points at the 95% confidence level for the full sample.

Enhancv notes that the survey is cross-sectional and does not establish that remote work caused the behaviors measured. The findings reflect reported experiences and decisions among surveyed remote workers.

Gold, Silver and Bronze honors recognize Helpany and United Zion across Fall Prevention, Creative Use of AI and Quality—following a 70% reduction in falls and culminating in zero falls.

Phoenix, AZ, September 18, 2026

Senior care has long been built around responding to incidents after they happen. Helpany is working to change that equation by giving care teams earlier insight into changes in resident well-being, mobility and fall risk, all without cameras or microphones. At the center of all three recognitions is one achievement: United Zion achieved zero falls. That work has earned Helpany and United Zion three honors at the 16th annual McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards.

Helpany’s AI- and radar-powered care platform, and its work with United Zion Retirement Community received Gold in Fall Prevention, Silver in Creative Use of AI, and Bronze in Quality. The McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards recognize innovations across senior living, skilled nursing and home care that improve safety, operations and quality of life. Gold, Silver and Bronze winners across 14 categories were selected by an independent panel of 24 long-term care stakeholders.

“We are incredibly proud to partner with forward-thinking communities like United Zion that are willing to challenge what is possible in senior care,” said Sandro Cilurzo, CEO and Co-Founder of Helpany. “By embracing a proactive approach to care, United Zion is setting a new benchmark for the industry and demonstrating what care can look like. Their achievement shows what is possible when strong care teams are empowered by AI and share a common ambition to improve resident outcomes.”

Falls remain the leading cause of injury among adults 65 and older, with more than 14 million older adults—or approximately one in four—reporting a fall each year, according to the CDC.

Helpany addresses this challenge with Paul, its AI- and radar-powered device designed to help care teams recognize risk earlier. Installed on the ceiling of a resident’s apartment, Paul continuously analyzes individual movement patterns without cameras or microphones, including changes in gait and mobility, sleep, bathroom frequency and sedentary behavior. Helpany’s AI identifies meaningful changes and conditions that may indicate a resident is at increased risk and flags them for the care team. This gives caregivers actionable insights to investigate potential concerns and intervene earlier—while preserving residents’ privacy, dignity and independence.

The results at United Zion Retirement Community, the first senior living community in Pennsylvania to implement Helpany, demonstrate the potential of that approach. The results showed a clear month-over-month progression. Falls declined meaningfully in January, improved further in February, and by March, United Zion had reduced falls by more than 80% compared with the 2025 baseline. Then, in April, the community reached a milestone that once seemed almost impossible: zero falls. Across the four-month period, United Zion achieved an overall 70% reduction in falls—demonstrating the impact of moving from reacting to incidents to proactively identifying and addressing risk.

Helpany’s AI-powered service plan assessment also found that 1 in 3 care plans required realignment, meaning documented care levels no longer fully reflected residents’ evolving needs and risks. With greater insights into residents’ day-to-day patterns, care teams can adjust support earlier and help ensure each resident receives the appropriate level of care at the appropriate time.

For United Zion, the technology has become part of a broader effort to use objective resident insights to strengthen care decisions while preserving residents’ privacy, dignity, and independence.

Meaningful results across Helpany communities include:

• United Zion Retirement Community: Achieved zero falls in April 2026, following a month-over-month improvement that included a more than 80% reduction in March compared with the 2025 baseline. Across the four-month period, falls were reduced by approximately 70%, while insights from Helpany contributed to the realignment of one in three care plans.

• Fellowship Square Mesa: Increased resident presence in memory care from 92.9% to 97.0%, representing approximately 270 additional resident days per year and an estimated $78,000+ in annual ALTCS/Medicaid savings by helping residents spend fewer days in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities.

• Glencroft Center for Modern Aging – Sarah’s Place: Recorded zero nighttime falls for three consecutive months across its 24-unit memory care neighborhood, alongside more than 250 proactive interventions.

• Arroyo Gardens: Achieved a 64% reduction in total falls, zero fall-related 911 calls, and a 57% reduction in general injuries after implementing Helpany across its senior living community.

• Across Helpany communities: Proactive care has contributed to up to 80% fewer 911 calls and up to 22% more caregiver time available, helping care teams focus their time where residents need it most.

The recent recognition comes as Helpany continues to grow nationally, supporting senior living providers across Arizona, Pennsylvania, Texas and Georgia. The company also recently expanded its leadership team.

“Technology should strengthen human care, not complicate it,” Cilurzo said. “Our goal is to give caregivers more time, more clarity and more confidence to do what they do best: care for people. These awards reinforce that proactive, privacy-first AI can help shape a safer and more dignified future for senior living.”
