Jeremiah Gregory Promoted to VP of Marketing Strategy at digifora

Digifora

On February 25th, digifora announced that Jeremiah Gregory had been made Vice President of Marketing Strategy. The promotion came on the heels of a strong and sustained performance, in which he helped guide many of digifora’s clients and partners to achieve and surpass many of their goals. The new position serves as an acknowledgment of past successes as well as a way to empower Gregory to continue his leadership role within the rapidly scaling full-service growth-marketing agency. Founder and president Justin Brackett emphasized that the move was meant as a genuine sign of gratitude and a thank you from the entire team at digifora, saying, “This is just as much a thank you for past efforts as a nod to future outcomes. It is a way for us to say ‘thank you’ for all the work he is doing and has done as we’ve grown.” Growth is an understatement. Digifora made waves in 2024 when it announced that it had hit its seven-year benchmarks in less than half that time. Since then, it has continued to build its team and suite of services into a combined offering that can address any marketing and communications concern for organizations in both for-profit and non-profit environments. Brackett pointed out that throughout that growth, Gregory has consistently shown up with a can-do attitude. “He is always willing to go above and beyond,” he said. “He embodies our flywheel of Trust & Education, leads with integrity, and always looks for ways to elevate our clients and team. His dedication and impact at digifora speak for themselves, and this promotion reflects the value he brings every day.” Jeremiah currently resides in Pfafftown, North Carolina, where he lives with his wife Erin and their three daughters. He previously served as Senior Director of Growth Marketing at digifora. Before that role, he had spent the better part of two decades accumulating expertise as an advertising, analytics, and digital marketing expert. During that time, he developed and executed omnichannel campaigns for major organizations including Media General, Hearst Television, Flow Automotive, and Reynolds American. Once at digifora, he served the agency’s clients in a variety of contexts and competencies. His main bread and butter has been media buying. He has leveraged this key marketing channel for clients through branded relationships including Disney, Mountain, Google, and Pandora, using it to serve a number of high-profile clients, including Arc of Indiana, Convey of Hope, and Vanderbloemen. In addition, Gregory has helped with platform development by making sure digifora maintains partnerships in the technology space that can help drive change for its clients. He has also helped develop dashboards, analytics, reporting, and any other data or communications-related needs to ensure clear and effective service. Gregory is particularly satisfied with his work alongside digifora’s non-profit partners. “I am thankful that I have been able to help multiple non-profits connecting people in need to valuable resources that provide hope,” he said, adding that one of those non-profits is the Villages in Indiana. “One of my favorite success metrics in recent years has been the simple yet powerful fact that we were able to help grow the number of parents registering to be foster parents year over year from 2023 to 2024.” It is this heart-felt love for the impact of his work, alongside his can-do attitude and nose for successful outcomes that has made Gregory a central and integral part of digifora’s success, and will doubtless keep him in that catalytic position moving forward. About digifora Digifora launched in 2020 with a vision to provide an elite, comprehensive suite of growth marketing services for clients across the United States in corporate, non-profit, and faith-based sectors. Its growing team provides end-to-end marketing and communications support, from strategy to implementation to follow-up across on-site, off-site, digital, and traditional channels.

Comcast Greater Kansas City

Comcast is connecting more than 11,000 new homes and businesses in six Missouri communities to reliable, high-speed, symmetrical Internet by expanding its network in the region. The expansion of its network will enhance digital infrastructure, promote economic growth, and position residents and local businesses for success in an increasingly digital world. The network expansion in Concordia, Harrisonville, Higginsville, Lexington, Napoleon, and Wellington will bring Internet, mobile, entertainment, and security services from Xfinity and Comcast Business to residents and businesses for the first time. “We are thrilled to welcome Comcast into our local communities,” said Kurtis Gregory, Missouri State Senator District 21. “This expansion ensures residents in these areas will have access to reliable, high-speed Internet. I am excited for the opportunities it will create for education, business, agriculture, and personal growth. Together, we are building a more connected and prosperous future for all and look forward to the positive impact it will have in the coming years.” This multi-million-dollar expansion into six communities will double Comcast’s existing footprint in Missouri. The new project — which will span more than 300 miles and is planned to be completed by 2027 — brings the company’s total investment in technology and infrastructure in Missouri to nearly $100 million over the past three years. “Reliable high-speed Internet is essential in today’s digital economy and Comcast is committed to connecting more Missouri families and businesses to the moments that matter most,” said Jennifer Dameron, director, External Affairs, Comcast Midwest Region. “The communities we'll be reaching with this expansion have been eager for better connectivity and choice for a long time, and we're happy to partner with them and meet their needs.” A Network You Can Trust to be Reliable, Fast and Secure Comcast’s state-of-the-art network is built to enable residents and businesses to thrive in today’s constantly connected world. These six cities join the 64 million homes and businesses across the country to have access to a network that is trusted by essential community organizations like hospitals, schools, transportation systems and first responders, and federal agencies like the Department of Defense and FEMA. It delivers multi-gigabit Internet speeds, 99.9 percent reliability and security built in from the ground up to keep customers safe from cyber threats. Introducing Xfinity for Consumers Comcast’s residential services are marketed under the Xfinity brand, and consumers in these six cities will be able to take advantage of Xfinity’s full suite of products, including Internet, video, mobile, voice and home security. With multi-gigabit Internet speeds, powerful WiFi that reaches every corner of the home, and super-responsive connections with low lag available with its plan, customers have a great experience using their connected devices to stream their favorite sports and entertainment content, video chat with coworkers and friends, learn from home or simply surf the web.

Surety Industry Unites on Capitol Hill to Advocate for Key Legislative Priorities

SFAA

The Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA) and the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP) led a Legislative Fly-In with members from across the industry to educate Congress on the value of construction surety bonds and advocate for key legislative priorities. These important meetings with policymakers focused on expanding support for the bipartisan Water Infrastructure Subcontractor and Taxpayer Protection Act ( S.570 / H.R.1285 ), which would strengthen the Water Infrastructure Subcontractor Finance & Innovation Act (WIFIA) program by requiring appropriate bonding for all projects, including public-private partnerships (P3s). This bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senators Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Representatives Mike Bost (R-IL) and Chris Pappas (D-NH) on February 13 of this year. Surety professionals held over 135 meetings with policymakers and staff to emphasize the significant savings that surety bonding provides to taxpayers across the country. Using data from the Ernst & Young (EY) study, The Economic Benefits of Surety Bonds, industry leaders reinforced that surety bonds safeguard taxpayer dollars, ensure project completion, protect subcontractors, suppliers and workers, and drive economic growth. “SFAA members engaging with federal policymakers is a vital part of our advocacy mission, ensuring Congress understands the essential role of surety bonds in supporting and safeguarding public infrastructure projects,” said Ryan Work, President and CEO of SFAA. “Working with our industry partner, NASBP, our critical engagement with Congress strengthens and engages members on key issues affecting our industry.” “The needs of the Nation’s critical infrastructure are readily apparent, and surety bonds guarantee that these projects will be delivered, protecting the investments of taxpayers,” commented Mark McCallum, CEO of NASBP. “The story of surety’s benefits is compelling and one that each new Congress must understand as it legislates for the country’s advancement. My thanks to all those surety professionals who took the time to tell the story to their members of Congress,” McCallum added. During these joint meetings, industry leaders emphasized the critical role of surety bonding in federal infrastructure projects. Discussions included the importance of bonding requirements for WIFIA, ongoing P3 projects, the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, and other initiatives supporting the nation’s infrastructure. NASBP and SFAA also hosted a special event featuring insights from former Congressman and U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and a panel discussion with Jack Ruddy, the Majority Staff Director of the U.S. House of Representatives Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. SFAA and NASBP look forward to our continuing dialogue with Congress, the Administration, and Federal Agencies to advance key priorities that support projects across the country. To read the EY report and get additional information on the value of surety, visit www.surety.org/suretyprotects. The Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan trade association representing all segments of the surety and fidelity industry. Based in Washington, D.C., SFAA works to promote the value of surety and fidelity bonding by proactively advocating on behalf of its members and stakeholders. The association’s more than 425 member companies write 98 percent of surety and fidelity bonds in the U.S. For more information visit www.surety.org.
