eMediaAI: Human-Centric AI Solutions for Businesses
AI That Gives Time Back to the People Who Actually Do the Work
Harnessing AI to Elevate Human Potential
At eMediaAI, this is our north star. Research shows 90 % of on‑the‑job AI users save significant time and 85 % say it lets them focus on work that matters most—yet other studies warn those gains evaporate if we simply refill the clock with more tasks in today’s “infinite workday.” Our mission, vision, and values build on that insight: we turn productivity wins into happier teams, stronger businesses, and reclaimed evenings.
We design AI systems that save time, protect your team, and actually get used—so you close the laptop earlier, not later.
Most small and mid‑sized businesses still wrestle with dashboards, duplicate data entry, and apps no one loves. We integrate people‑centric AI that streamlines the grind while preserving human ingenuity, because technology should serve people—not replace them.
Founder Lee Pomerantz spent two decades running a high‑performance marketing agency before seeing clients “work smarter” right past 8 p.m. That aha moment sparked our 2022 pivot: rebuild eMediaAI around ethical, employee‑first automation. Today Lee serves clients as a Certified Chief AI Officer and mentors the next generation of AI‑literate leaders.

How long has eMediaAI been in business?
We have been operating since 2001 (24+ years), originally as a high-performance digital agency before pivoting to AI consulting in 2022.This deep background in business operations and marketing means we aren’t just “AI technicians”—we are veteran operators who understand profit and loss (P&L), workflows, and the real-world pressures of running a business.
What does it mean to be a "Certified Chief AI Officer"?
Our founder, Lee Pomerantz, holds a Chief AI Officer (CAIO) certification, verifying his ability to govern Enterprise AI strategy, ethics, and compliance.Unlike self-taught “gurus,” a Certified CAIO bridges the gap between board-level strategy and technical execution, ensuring your AI roadmap is not just innovative but also legally defensible and operationally sound.
Are you based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, or are you a remote agency?
We are proudly headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving clients locally and nationally.We frequently host strategy workshops for partners across the Midwest (Indianapolis, Chicago, Columbus) but have a distributed specialist network that allows us to deploy enterprise-grade AI solutions for clients anywhere in the US.
Why did you pivot from digital marketing to AI consulting?
We pivoted in 2022 after seeing clients achieve “efficiency” at the cost of employee burnout.Our founder watched a high-performing team working past 8 p.m. despite using new tools. That moment clarified our mission: to implement People-First AIthat gives time back to employees (reclaiming their evenings) rather than just refilling their plates with more tasks.
Do you have experience working with teams that are resistant to AI?
Yes, managing “change resistance” is a core part of our deployment strategy.Because we prioritize “Employee Happiness” alongside ROI, we involve your team early in the process. By showing them how AI removes their most hated tasks (data entry, reporting), we turn skeptics into champions. We address this cultural shift directly during the initial AI Opportunity Blueprint™phase.
