Independent PR firm doubles down on Tampa with expanded headquarters, growing local team, and plans to pursue strategic acquisitions.

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 5W, one of the largest independently owned PR and communications agencies in the U.S., is doubling down on Tampa and the Florida market.

Following the launch of its Miami and Tampa presence, 5W has expanded its Tampa footprint and secured additional space, creating a two-floor headquarters designed to support continued growth across clients, talent, and capabilities. The Tampa team has grown to more than 20 employees, with additional hiring underway as the office continues to expand.

The physical expansion is part of a broader strategy for 5W to build a significant presence in one of the country’s fastest-growing business markets to better serve clients across the nation and attract top talent, while also pursuing strategic acquisitions of independent communications and marketing firms.

“We didn’t come to Tampa to simply have an office here,” said Matthew Caiola, Chief Executive Officer of 5W. “We came here to build something that is representative of where 5W is going. The response from our team, clients, and the community has been tremendous, and taking additional space this quickly tells us we’re on the right track.”

That growth is happening alongside a broader evolution of the firm itself. As consumers increasingly discover brands and companies through AI search, 5W has been expanding its work in AI visibility and communications, helping brands understand how they appear across AI platforms and how earned media, content, and social media can influence visibility in an increasingly AI-driven information environment.

“We have always believed there is an opportunity to build a different kind of communications firm, one that is entrepreneurial, ambitious, and built for where communications is going,” said Leigh Ann Ambrosi, Managing Partner, EVP of Consumer Lifestyle. “The way people discover and evaluate brands is changing dramatically. We want to be ahead of that change and help our clients navigate it.”

The expanded Tampa headquarters will serve as a hub for 5W’s growing team and client work across consumer, corporate, technology, health and wellness, and beauty, while supporting the firms continued investment in integrated communications capabilities spanning AI visibility, media relations, digital marketing, and more.

“Tampa gives us an important foundation for this next phase of growth,” Caiola added. “We’re investing in people, infrastructure, and capabilities, and we’re open to bringing the right companies into the 5W family.”

The expansion follows a year of continued momentum for 5W, including the agency’s recent recognition among The PR Net Top 100 agencies, further reinforcing its position as one of the leading communications firms in the country.

With the growing Tampa team, expanded headquarters, evolving capabilities, and an active interest in strategic acquisitions, 5W is positioning its Florida presence as an important part of the firms next chapter and broader vision for the future of communications.

FEAR IS BIGGER THAN EVER… AND ZERO LATENCY VR HAS THE SCIENCE TO PROVE IT

Published

October 1, 2026

Ahead of Halloween, Zero Latency VR brought in “scientist of fear” Dr. Coltan Scrivner to explain why people can’t stop playing with the things that scare them

MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Zero Latency VR, the world’s largest and most innovative immersive VR network, is celebrating a double Halloween anniversary: three years since the launch of Outbreak, its free-roam zombie survival shooter, and one year since the debut of Haunted, its immersive haunted house experience. Rather than mark the occasion alone, the company brought in an outside expert: Dr. Coltan Scrivner, a research scientist who studies why humans seek out frightening things for fun.

In three years, Outbreak has thrown wave after wave of the undead at guests across Zero Latency’s venues worldwide. In the year since, Haunted has barely let anyone make it through the lobby without a scream. Between the two, Halloween has become the company’s busiest and loudest season, leading Zero Latency to ask Scrivner a simple question: why do we pay money to be scared on purpose?

Scrivner is a research scientist at Arizona State University known for his work on morbid curiosity, horror, and what he calls “recreational fear”; the mixed feeling of fear and enjoyment that draws people to haunted houses, horror films, and survival games. He is the author of Morbidly Curious: A Scientist Explains Why We Can’t Look Away, and his research has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, The Economist, NPR and Scientific American.

“Humans are built to play with the things that frighten us,” said Scrivner. “It’s a great way for us to learn how to better regulate our fear and anxiety. One of the best ways to learn how you and your friends react in stressful situations is to simulate a stressful situation, and immersive VR is unmatched in its ability to safely invoke fear while maintaining a playful psychological frame.”

According to Scrivner, that’s exactly what sets free-roam VR apart from other horror formats. “The very best scary games blur the line between fiction and reality,” he said. “Immersive VR pushes that boundary and opens up a whole new way to play with fear. I have never experienced a horror game as immersive as Haunted or Outbreak, both of them were scarier, and more fun, than I could have imagined.”

“We’ve had over eleven years to perfect the jump scare, and it turns out you can’t fake it. The science backs it up,” said Tim Ruse, CEO of Zero Latency VR. “If you’re not leaving Outbreak with a slightly elevated heart rate, or leaving Haunted a little rattled, we haven’t done our job. It’s nice to finally have someone with a PhD confirm that’s a good thing.”

Zero Latency has two special Halloween double-features this spooky season; guests can experience Haunted and Undead Arena, the post-apocalyptic zombie shooter game show, or combine Outbreak with Outbreak 2: Mall Mayhem for a full hour of adrenaline-filled zombie survival that will truly get the blood pumping. Book now.
