PhillComm Global, a public relations and marketing communications agency specializing in emerging industries, has been named agency of record for three companies: AIGNCI, HIFI, and Hypercall. The announcement, made on September 24, 2026, positions PhillComm Global to lead strategic communications, media relations, executive thought leadership, and market positioning for each client. This development matters because it highlights the increasing need for specialized communications in rapidly evolving technology sectors, where market shifts are creating new categories and competitive dynamics.
AIGNCI is focused on the transition from search engines to answer engines, helping companies become visible and recommendable within AI systems such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI. The firm's Citation Engine and AI Discovery Intelligence methodology integrates technical infrastructure, answer-engine optimization, entity engineering, public record governance, earned media, reputation engineering, and measurement into a single system. This approach addresses three critical tests: whether AI can reach and read a company's information, cite it, and recommend it. As AI-driven discovery becomes more prevalent, AIGNCI's work could redefine how brands establish authority and reach audiences.
HIFI, meanwhile, is entering a significant growth phase following a $37 million Series A led by Left Lane Capital. The company provides a composable software layer for building financial products across stablecoins, bank accounts, cards, and global payment rails. HIFI's independent position stands out as the stablecoin infrastructure category consolidates through major acquisitions, such as Stripe's $1.1 billion purchase of Bridge and Mastercard's $1.8 billion acquisition of BVNK. By offering infrastructure that spans money movement, compliance, accounts, settlement, liquidity, and tokenization, HIFI enables companies to retain control over their financial products while leveraging stablecoins.
Hypercall is tackling liquidity and hedging challenges in onchain options. Built on Hyperliquid, it connects options directly to a deep perpetual futures ecosystem, giving market makers a natural venue to hedge exposure. Its execution model includes a two-second auction where market makers must improve on executable prices to win trades. With 24/7 access, fractional contracts, APIs, and the ability to expand alongside Hyperliquid's growing markets, Hypercall aims to build an always-on options market at scale.
Jon Lindsay Phillips, founder and CEO of PhillComm Global, emphasized that each company has identified a major market shift and offers something structurally different. "AIGNCI is rethinking how companies become discoverable when AI supplies the answer, and doing it much better than a very crowded field of amateurs," he said. "HIFI is preserving an independent infrastructure layer as stablecoin platforms consolidate into major financial networks. Hypercall is using Hyperliquid's liquidity and always-on markets to rethink how options can actually work 24/7."
The appointments expand PhillComm Global's portfolio of clients in artificial intelligence, financial services, autonomous systems, security, and advanced manufacturing. The agency's earned-first communications model focuses on category creation and translating complex innovation into clear narratives.
