Pennsylvania-based service firms advocate for digital tools that empower small business growth.

HARRISBURG, PA / ACCESS Newswire / May 20, 2026 / WD Strategies, a Pennsylvania-based marketing and software consulting firm, and Shannon Claire, a Pennsylvania-based brand photographer and consultant, attended Meta's Business Leaders Network Annual Conference, a national small business event hosted by Meta Platforms in Washington, D.C. The event, held on April 22, brought together small business owners from across the United States to connect, share insights and advocate for the digital advertising tools that are driving business growth.

Shannon Confair, owner and operator of her agency and founder of The NovaLux Network, and Joey DiGangi, WD Strategies' co-founder and chief operating officer, joined fellow business leaders to engage with policymakers and industry leaders on the evolving role of digital marketing in today's economy.

DiGangi and Confair met with representatives from the office of John Fetterman to discuss the importance of social media advertising, AI and the continued support of technologies that empower small businesses.

"I see every day how tools like personalized advertising and AI are not just innovations, they are equalizers," said Confair. "I was proud to represent small business owners across Pennsylvania; sharing real-world insight into how these tools drive growth, visibility and opportunity. Advocacy like this is at the core of everything I do; ensuring small businesses have both a voice at the table and the resources to lead in today's economy."

DiGangi noted how advances in technology can be a boon for his firm's clients while creating a complex environment for regulators to navigate.

"Digital advertising-and digital marketing as a whole-continues to create unprecedented opportunities for small businesses to grow and compete," said DiGangi. "As the tools get more sophisticated, it's important that we have the chance to explain their efficacy and use to our representatives who must also navigate the ever-changing digital landscape."
