Mid-Sized Data Centers Are Winning the Communications Battle While Many Industry Leaders Fall Behind

Hot Paper Lantern

Hot Paper Lantern (HPL), an integrated communications and marketing agency that helps brands build their reputations, create meaningful impact, and generate growth, released its latest data center industry study, "Who's Owning the Conversation?" The study analyzed over 35 companies spanning three key verticals: data center operators, cooling technology vendors, and network service providers. Data Center Operators included in the study: Aligned Data Centers • CloudHQ • Cologix • Compass Datacenters • COPT • CoreSite • DataBank • Digital Core REIT • EdgeConneX • Evoque Data Center Solutions • Flexential • OVHcloud • QTS Data Centers • Sabey Data Centers • STACK Infrastructure • Switch Inc. • Tencent Cloud • Vantage Data Centers Cooling Technology Vendors included in the study: Amana Heating & Air • American Standard • Bryant Heating & Cooling • Goodman Manufacturing • Heil Heating & Cooling • Nortek Global • Rheem • Rudd Heating & Cooling • York Air Conditioning • York International Network Service Providers included in the study: Adtran • Allied Telesis • Calix • Cambium Networks • D-Link • Inseego • MikroTik • TP-Link • Viavi Solutions • Zyxel Communications The research examines how these companies are shaping the mid-market narrative, identifies key areas for improvement, and offers data-driven strategies to help companies drive meaningful engagement. While some organizations take a proactive approach to their external communications by leveraging social media and media relations, others remain passive and allow third parties to shape their company’s narrative. This contrast sparks critical questions about how key sectors engage with their stakeholders and whether or not they will fully capitalize on the opportunities presented by the data center industry's unprecedented growth. "Data center operators have assumed that by just being active to generate some form of media coverage alone, this will translate to having a strong reputation. Our research proves that this is not the case. If you are not actively shaping your own story, someone else will do it for you, and often not in your favor," said Ed Moed, chief executive officer at Hot Paper Lantern. "The data center industry has grown exponentially in recent years, fueled by massive investments, technological advancement, and industry demand. Many companies have relied on that growth to define their value in the market, but as competition increases, a strong and strategic narrative is what will set organizations apart." Key Insights from the Study: Public Perception Doesn't Always Align with Coverage Volume – More coverage does not always translate to a stronger reputation. Nearly 10% of all social media conversations about the data center industry are negative. However, over 80% of that negativity comes from just two companies, and both are among the most active on social media. Their outsized presence has amplified criticism, highlighting the risks of lacking a strategic online narrative. Mid-Tier Operators Punch Above Their Weight in Influence — Despite having smaller budgets, some mid-tier data centers generate outsized impact. Based on revenue, the bottom half of companies analyzed averaged 7x more coverage and 15x more engagement, demonstrating the power of strategic messaging. Cooling Technology Vendors Are Missing Their Storytelling Opportunity — With sustainability and energy efficiency becoming critical topics, cooling providers remain surprisingly underrepresented in industry conversations. Ninety percent of cooling brands generate fewer than 500 media mentions across major platforms, creating a massive opportunity for those willing to participate in the discussion. Network Providers Are Failing to Engage the Data Center Audience — Despite playing a crucial role in data center operations, many network providers struggle to connect with their target audience. Most rely on generic product announcements rather than crafting narratives that will resonate with data center decision-makers. As a result, the top 40% of network providers account for 95% of the industry's digital visibility, leaving the majority with little influence in the conversation. "Cooling and network providers have expanded alongside the data center industry, yet their voice in industry discussions has not kept pace," said Moed. "As artificial intelligence accelerates demand for advanced infrastructure, these sectors must step forward. The companies that fail to establish themselves as industry leaders risk being overlooked, while those that actively shape the conversation will define the next phase of innovation and growth." For more details on the "Who's Owning the Conversation?" study, view the report here. HPL will continue tracking industry trends and key players, releasing quarterly reports about the evolving conversation.

Coolidge Reagan Foundation Files Congressional Ethics, FEC, and DOJ Criminal Complaints Against Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Coolidge Reagan Foundation

The Coolidge Reagan Foundation (CRF), a First Amendment watchdog, has filed a series of complaints against Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), alleging serious ethical and legal violations, including voter intimidation, fraudulent campaign contributions, and misconduct in office. The complaints, simultaneously submitted to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), and the Department of Justice (DOJ), expose Rep. Crockett’s alleged illegal activities and efforts to undermine fair elections and democratic processes. “Rep. Crockett’s reckless rhetoric and open encouragement of political violence are not only unacceptable but dangerously irresponsible, stated Shaun McCutcheon, Chairman of the Coolidge Reagan Foundation. “While I am an advocate for Free Speech, the fact is no Member of Congress should be inciting attacks on American voters. You can’t call on your supporters to attack people any more than you can yell fire in a crowded theater. Her actions must be condemned and investigated.” “This is a blatant abuse of power and a direct assault on free and fair elections,” Dan Backer, Counsel to CRF added. “From voter intimidation to potentially fraudulent campaign financing, Rep. Crockett’s conduct raises serious legal and ethical concerns. The American people deserve accountability, and Crockett must answer for her unethical, potentially criminal, and just plain dirty acts.” The complaint filed with the Department of Justice highlights Rep. Crockett’s alarming rhetoric and online activity, which appear to violate the Federal Voting Rights Act prohibiting voter intimidation. On March 9, 2025, Crockett circulated an animated video through social media depicting a cartoon version of herself and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brutally attacking a Republican voter. This video, broadcast to hundreds of thousands of her followers, not only condones but seemingly encourages political violence against Republicans. Her public statements, including referring to "full-on combat," further demonstrate a pattern of incitement that places American voters at risk. CRF is calling on the DOJ to investigate these actions under 52 U.S.C. § 10307(b) and other applicable federal statutes. CRF's complaint to the FEC details an apparent scheme in which Rep. Crockett’s campaign committee, ‘Jasmine for US’, accepted and falsely reported contributions processed through ActBlue. The filing reveals that an elderly retiree, Mr. Randy Best of Plano, Texas, was listed as making over 2,500 contributions totaling more than $21,000 – including more than 50 to Crockett (transactions that Mr. Best’s wife denies ever occurred). The sheer volume and pattern of these donations suggest an elaborate money-laundering scheme orchestrated through ActBlue to funnel illegal contributions to Democratic candidates, including Rep. Crockett. CRF demands an immediate FEC investigation into these violations of 52 U.S.C. § 30122, which prohibits accepting contributions in the name of, or with the funds of, another. In addition to potential criminal and campaign finance violations, CRF has also filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics, asserting that Rep. Crockett has engaged in behavior that fails to reflect creditably on the U.S. House of Representatives. Her public threats against Republican officials, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and former President Donald Trump (paired with the incendiary video) constitute a clear violation of House Rule XXIII, which mandates ethical conduct by Members. Furthermore, her acceptance of potentially fraudulent contributions through ActBlue raises serious concerns about her fitness for office and adherence to congressional financial disclosure requirements. Shaun McCutcheon further emphasized the seriousness of the complaints stating “Congresswoman Crockett’s actions are a disgrace to the office she holds. Inciting violence against political opponents and engaging in fraudulent campaign finance practices are violations that cannot be ignored. CRF will not stand idly by while elected officials break the law and erode trust in our institutions.” Dan Backer added “We have seen a disturbing trend where ActBlue is used as a willing conduit for a potentially 8 or 9 figure sum of illegal campaign money laundering, and Rep. Crockett’s campaign is just one example. The FEC must investigate this apparent scheme to launder funds in the names of unsuspecting donors. Additionally, her rhetoric and public statements demand a full review by the DOJ for potential voter intimidation violations.” CRF calls for swift action to hold Rep. Crockett accountable and protect the integrity of our democratic process. The news of these complaints was first reported by Fred Lucas in the Daily Signal. ### Please visit: https://www.coolidgereagan.org/ For more information or to schedule an interview with a CRF spokesperson, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@danrene.com Contact Details Coolidge Reagan Foundation Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 dan@danrene.com Company Website https://www.coolidgereagan.org/
