· Print Pro Source newsroom

Several agencies this week announced expanded partner networks for clients. Perhaps Agency said a new FuseTwo partnership and AvantLink certification give emerging brands broader access to networks, citing rising paid-media costs that it says are pushing advertisers toward new acquisition channels. Lemon Seed Marketing said it now connects home service contractors with warranty solutions, e-commerce technology, referral programs and industry resources through industry partnerships.

Specialization and AI were the other threads. Hickey launched Hickey Creative, a practice aimed at economic development marketing, and Nicely Network was named Best Reddit Marketing Agency for Enterprise Brands by Better Business Advice. On the technology side, Cordial launched a headless version of its embedded CDP for use from AI assistants, and J&L Marketing said it is expanding into AI, automation and connected TV as it made Louisville Business First's Fast 50 for a third year.
