The AI Communications Firm
5W Florida — Miami & Tampa
Miami. Tampa. Building brand authority for Florida-based and national brands — inside earned media, digital, and the AI engines where buyers now search.
Why 5W Chose Florida
Florida is the fastest-growing business market in America. Population growth leads the country. Business relocations lead the country. Miami is a national center for consumer brands, hospitality, technology, and finance. Tampa is one of the most dynamic emerging business hubs in the U.S. — Water Street, Gasworx, the Riverwalk are reshaping the region.
5W AI Communications is relocating its headquarters to Florida. The firm has 35 people on the ground across Miami and Tampa, with additional New York team members relocating throughout 2026.
