Veteran agency leader returns to accelerate TrendyMinds’ AI capabilities and advance the firm’s evolution as a strategic partner helping organizations drive growth, strengthen reputation, and navigate transformation.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trevor Yager has returned as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TrendyMinds, the Indianapolis-based agency he founded in 1995, while continuing to serve as Chairman. In this dual role, Yager has resumed direct involvement in day-to-day leadership, working alongside account and delivery teams on client work in addition to setting the agency’s strategic direction. As CEO, he is leading the company’s next phase of growth by advancing the firm’s artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities while strengthening its position as a strategic partner to organizations navigating growth and change.

Yager previously transitioned from CEO to Chairman as part of a planned leadership evolution that reflected both the agency’s maturity and his own exploration of future ownership opportunities. As AI has accelerated the pace of change across the industry, reshaping how organizations operate and compete, he made the decision to step back into the CEO role and lead TrendyMinds through its next chapter directly.

“Moving into the Chairman role was the right decision at the time because the Board, including myself, believed TrendyMinds needed to demonstrate it could thrive beyond its founder,” said Yager. “But after more than 30 years of leading through every major technology shift, I believe artificial intelligence represents one of the greatest opportunities our industry has ever seen. The environment shifted fast enough that it made sense for me to step back in and lead it personally, continuing to build the capabilities our clients will need and position the agency for what’s next.”

Beginning in 2019, TrendyMinds became increasingly intentional about optimizing the artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation capabilities already embedded within the technologies used across the agency. Following a comprehensive assessment of AI-enabled tools and workflows, the agency integrated AI across strategy, research, creative development, marketing operations, and internal business processes while establishing governance, security, and data protection standards to support responsible implementation.

By transforming its own business first, TrendyMinds refined its methodologies, validated new approaches, and built the operational discipline that now informs how it evaluates AI opportunities with clients. Today, TrendyMinds continues to expand its internal AI capabilities through a dedicated team of AI transformation specialists, developing proprietary workflows, audience intelligence tools, and implementation frameworks. Drawing on that experience, the agency helps clients responsibly evaluate and implement AI in ways that align with their business objectives, regulatory requirements, and governance standards.

That experience also enables TrendyMinds to support clients developing innovative AI technologies, including a leading healthcare AI innovator. By combining firsthand AI transformation experience with strategic consulting, communications, and market positioning expertise, the agency helps organizations communicate complex technologies, build trust with stakeholders, and accelerate market adoption.

Founded as a traditional marketing agency more than 30 years ago, TrendyMinds has continually evolved alongside the changing needs of its clients, bringing together strategic consulting, integrated marketing, communications, creative, thought leadership, media relations, digital strategy and development, research, analytics, and emerging technologies.

The 2026 finalists include organizations based in several different countries from across the globe, from small/medium sized businesses up to established enterprises.

Action Leak Detection pinpoints hidden underground, slab, and pool water leaks in about two hours, with no digging, across King, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom Counties.

LYNDEN, Wash., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Washington heads into the hottest stretch of the year for water use, a Lynden-based specialist warns that some of the region’s biggest water waste is happening where no one can see it: underground.

A typical leak Action Leak Detection is called to runs about a tenth of a gallon a minute. That is roughly 144 gallons a day, and left unfound, more than 50,000 gallons a year at a single home, far more on a farm or irrigated field. Often the owner has no idea until the water bill spikes or a wet spot appears, and that wet spot can surface yards from the actual leak. In summer, when irrigation, sprinklers, and pools run hardest, those undetected leaks cause the biggest losses of the year.

Action Leak Detection, founded by Isaac White, finds those leaks without tearing up the property. Using acoustic listening equipment, infrared thermal imaging, tracer gas, and ground-penetrating radar, it pinpoints the source of most residential leaks in about two hours, with no excavation, no breaking concrete, and no guesswork.

“Every leak we find is water saved,” said White. “People think of a leak as a plumbing problem, but out here it’s also a conservation problem. A slow underground leak can waste tens of thousands of gallons before anyone notices. Finding it fast protects the homeowner’s wallet and a resource the Northwest doesn’t take for granted.”

White started the company in 2023 after a leak at his mother’s home cost her thousands of dollars, and after he spent weeks chasing a 3,000-gallon-a-day leak on his own property that no contractor could locate. With a background in commercial and residential plumbing, he built Action Leak Detection around a single idea: pinpoint the leak precisely, so the repair stays small instead of a torn-up yard, a cracked slab, or a five-figure bill.

That focus has earned the company more than 300 five-star Google reviews, Better Business Bureau accreditation, and a reputation for precision and honesty. Isaac White is still the owner, and the technician who shows up at the door.

Services include underground water leak detection, concrete slab leak detection, pool leak detection (with no draining or breaking concrete), irrigation and sprinkler leak detection, and private water-line and plastic-pipe locating, including for farms and irrigated fields. After finding a leak, it documents the location and connects the customer with trusted local plumbers and contractors.

White’s advice for summer: watch for a spinning water meter, a jump in the water bill, wet spots in the yard, or a drop in water pressure, and act quickly. “Before you call a plumber, call us first,” he said. “If you dig in the wrong place, that’s the expensive mistake. Find it first, then fix it.”

Action Leak Detection answers calls 24/7 and locates most leaks the same day. It serves King, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom Counties, along with Whidbey, Lopez, and the San Juan Islands.

About Action Leak Detection Action Leak Detection provides non-invasive underground, slab, pool, and irrigation leak detection across greater Puget Sound and Northwest Washington. Founded in 2023 by Isaac White, who had already spent years finding leaks as a fully licensed plumber, the company pinpoints hidden water leaks in about two hours without digging, saving property owners from costly damage and wasted water.
