Mostly Serious and JMARK Announce Strategic Investment to Enhance Services for the Region

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tom Douglas of JMARK has become a minority investor in Mostly Serious. This strategic investment, which expands on a recently established partnership to bring AI training and consulting to the area, formalizes a relationship between the region's leading digital agency and consulting firm with its premier IT services provider.

Collectively, these two organizations have already equipped thousands of professionals across more than 50 organizations with practical AI skills that deliver immediate productivity gains via the AI Quest program launched at JMARK's regional IT forum (JBITS).

"Our mission has always been to equip our region with the tools necessary to win in the digital world," said Jarad Johnson, CEO of Mostly Serious. "Partnering with JMARK accelerates that vision, bringing together top regional expertise to ensure our community remains at the forefront of AI adoption."

Tom Douglas, CEO of JMARK, emphasized, "Both our companies have a long history of driving innovation and guiding our clients through transformational changes. By deepening this partnership, we're not just enhancing technology—we're investing in people, empowering them to leverage AI in meaningful ways."

The alliance prioritizes a people-first approach held by both Mostly Serious and JMARK. Leveraging Mostly Serious' consulting division, Habitat Communication & Culture, to focus on change management and leadership development alongside technical implementation, we expect to accelerate advanced technology adoption and help businesses innovate through the coming years of change.
