TRUMP POLICIES LARGELY FAVORED WITH EXCEPTION OF TARIFFS BUT APPROVAL DECLINING TO 44% AMID ECONOMIC CONCERN AND SHUTDOWN
57% OF VOTERS CHARACTERIZE THE ECONOMY AS WEAK, A 6 PT. INCREASE FROM SEPTEMBER
OFF-CYCLE ELECTION MESSAGE: GOP NEEDS TO BROADEN ITS BASE; ZOHRAN MAMDANI’S POLICIES REJECTED BY A MAJORITY OF VOTERS ACROSS THE NATION
TWO-THIRDS OF VOTERS SEE MADURO’S REGIME AS A THREAT TO U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY AND 81% SUPPORT REMOVING HIM FROM OFFICE
NEW YORK and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) today released the results of the November Harvard CAPS / Harris poll, a monthly collaboration between the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard (CAPS) and the Harris Poll and HarrisX.

“Keeping the government shutdown has put people in an increasingly negative mood,” said Mark Penn, Co-Director of the Harvard CAPS / Harris poll and Stagwell Chairman and CEO. “Voters support the Republican policy position, but with the shutdown, a worsening perception of the economy, discontent with tariffs, health care a key concern, and people not getting their paychecks – this is a deteriorating situation the White House has to fix.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to its reported results, Stagwell Inc. has included in this earnings release certain financial results that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines as “non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period to period comparisons of the Company’s results. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the following:
(1) Organic Net Revenue: “Organic net revenue growth” and “Organic net revenue decline” reflects the year-over-year change in the Company’s reported net revenue attributable to the Company’s management of the entities it owns. We calculate organic net revenue growth (decline) by subtracting the net impact of acquisitions (divestitures) and the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations from the aggregate year-over-year increase or decrease in the Company’s reported net revenue. The net impact of acquisitions (divestitures) reflects the year-over-year change in the Company’s reported net revenue attributable to the impact of all individual entities that were acquired or divested in the current and prior year. We calculate impact of an acquisition as follows: (a) for an entity acquired during the current year, we present the entity’s current period reported revenue as the impact of the acquisition in the current year; and (b) for an entity acquired in the prior year, we present an amount equal to the entity’s current year net revenue for the same period during which we didn’t own the entity in the prior year as the impact of the acquisition in the current year. We calculate impact of a divestiture as follows: (a) for a divestiture in the current year, we present the entity’s prior year net revenue for the same period during which we no longer owned it in the current year as impact of the divestiture in the current year; and (b) for a divestiture in the prior year, we present the entity’s prior year net revenue for the period during which we owned it in the prior year as impact of the divestiture in the current year. We calculate the impact of any acquisition or divestiture without adjusting for foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations reflects the year-over-year change in the Company’s reported net revenue attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations for the portion of the reporting period in which we recognized revenue from a foreign entity in both the current year and the prior year. The impact is calculated as the difference between (1) reported prior period net revenue (converted to U.S. dollars at historical foreign currency exchange rates) and (2) prior period net revenue converted to U.S. dollars at current period foreign exchange rates.
(2) Net New Business: Estimate of annualized revenue for new wins less annualized revenue for losses incurred in the period.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA: defined as Net income excluding non-operating income or expense to achieve operating income, plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred acquisition consideration adjustments, and other items. Other items include restructuring costs, acquisition-related expenses, and non-recurring items.
(4) Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as (i) Net income (loss) attributable to Stagwell Inc. common shareholders, plus net income attributable to Class C shareholders, excluding amortization expense, impairment and other losses, stock-based compensation, deferred acquisition consideration adjustments, discrete tax items, and other items, divided by (ii) the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The diluted weighted average shares outstanding is calculated as (a) the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus (b) the shares of Class C Common Stock as if converted to shares of Class A Common Stock if not yet included because they were anti-dilutive. Other items includes restructuring costs, acquisition-related expenses, and non-recurring items, and subject to the anti-dilution rules.
(5) Free Cash Flow: defined as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, change in net working capital, cash taxes, interest, and distributions to minority interests, but excludes contingent M&A payments. Free Cash Flow Conversion is the percentage of adjusted EBITDA.
Included in this earnings release are tables reconciling reported Stagwell Inc. results to arrive at certain of these non-GAAP financial measures.

New partnership centered around building a groundbreaking, industry-first AI and data platform that offers clients a fast path to a central source of marketing and advertising targeting information that unlocks unlimited new ROI for corporate marketers
NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) and Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) today announced a groundbreaking partnership centered around an AI-driven platform for marketers that will bring the full power of data and AI together to increase marketing ROI.
The new solution pairs Palantir’s Foundry with Code and Theory’s orchestration level software and The Marketing Cloud’s proprietary data sources and solutions. This combination creates state-of-the-art tools for large, complex teams to create and implement marketing programs at scale. Stagwell is also using novel differential privacy technology to protect the data.
The Palantir-Stagwell partnership is already seeing client adoption of its early MVP model in the United States through Stagwell’s leading media company Assembly. Stagwell plans to roll out the offering to the broader network and clients on an opt-in basis in the coming months.
Clients will have access to a central hub for marketing that enables a wide range of use cases, including audience alignment optimization and campaign management. The platform is AI-based to enable large companies to access and append their marketing data to create agents that will then implement complex marketing processes.
The platform allows large enterprises to sift through tens of millions of records to identify, segment, and better understand audiences — helping improve brand performance strategies and maximize overall ROI before launching campaigns. It will be sold as a standalone platform that companies can use to monitor and enhance their marketing efforts. The platform could also be applied to augment supply chain analysis and solve regionalization problems of large networks.
“Palantir’s partnership with Stagwell will make marketing more dynamic,” said Alex Karp, CEO and co-founder of Palantir. “Our software supercharges the speed of metrics collection and revolutionizes data integration capabilities. That unlocks value for both Stagwell and its clients.”
“This is the holy grail of marketing brought to life,” said Mark Penn, Chairman and CEO of Stagwell. “This enables large enterprises to enhance their marketing processes utilizing advanced targeting and AI capabilities so that data can be used and implemented to increase bottom-line results.”
“We expect to drive this into a significant business over the coming years as part of The Marketing Cloud,” Penn added, “generating potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.”

Designed for security, flexibility, and ease of use, Agent Cloud gives brands and agencies instant access to top multimodal LLMs and image/video tools (from GPT-5 to Gemini 2.5 Pro and Veo3) without the hassle of juggling multiple subscriptions.
As AI adoption accelerates across the marketing industry, marketing organizations struggle to balance innovation with governance and scale. Agent Cloud solves this challenge by offering a single, secure entry point to the leading AI models, eliminating the need for fragmented “bring-your-own-AI” approaches and ensuring compliance with client data requirements.
Agent Cloud empowers marketers to safely and efficiently build, deploy, and manage AI-powered workflows across creative, media, comms, and market research teams. It also enables the creation of custom AI assistants that can be shared across an organization, setting the groundwork for fully agentic workflows in the near future, where AI collaborates seamlessly with people.
Key benefits of Agent Cloud include:
- Work securely, innovate confidently: Security is essential, especially when proprietary client data is at stake. None of your organization’s data within Agent Cloud is used to train any LLMs.
- Stay at the forefront of AI innovation: Agent Cloud provides entry to GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4, Grok 4, and Gemini 2.5 Pro, as well as image and video tools like Imagen and Veo3, with more integrations on the way.
- Empower teams with custom assistants: An intuitive interface allows users to build their own custom AI assistants powered by their LLM of choice, which can then be shared across an organization.
- Simplify billing, amplify savings: Finance no longer needs to process dozens of subscriptions for individual products. And after an annual base fee, your team only pays for the AI tools you’re actually using.
“Agent Cloud unlocks the full range of what AI tools can do for modern marketers,” says Elspeth Rollert, CEO of The Marketing Cloud. “It removes the guesswork and lets your team dive right into the applications and use cases that drive impact. Heading into 2026, it also gives organizations the foundation they need to compete in a world of increasingly more agentic AI.”
Early users of the beta version of Agent Cloud are effusive about the benefits, including how the product drives AI adoption across organizations that are still feeling tentative about this powerful tech.
“The Marketing Cloud has knocked it out of the park with Agent Cloud,” says Jim Stiefelmaier, Innovation Strategy Director at Yamamoto. “Having instant access to all the latest AI models, from GPT-5 to Gemini 2.5 Pro, in one secure, centralized platform has been a game-changer. The ability to seamlessly switch between models has boosted our team’s productivity, facilitated AI adoption, and helped streamline our workflows. I’m excited to see how The Marketing Cloud continues to innovate and evolve this valuable ecosystem.”
“Our agency would not be able to scale our adoption of AI at the rate we need to without a product like Agent Cloud,” says Michael Lamp, Chief Digital & Social Officer of Hunter. “It’s giving us the confidence to speed up our internal AI roadmaps and bring world-class research and media tools to the fingertips of our staff members around the world. It’s the definition of working smarter with technology.”
Agent Cloud is now available to marketers worldwide. The Marketing Cloud team is at ANA Masters of Marketing in Orlando from October 21–24 to coincide with the launch.
To celebrate the debut of this powerful new marketing tech, The Marketing Cloud also published a limited-edition booklet: The Robots Are Coming: A Guide for the Future of AI and Martech. It includes insights from leaders across the brand, as well as 2026 agentic AI predictions from The Marketing Cloud CEO Elspeth Rollert and CTO Mansoor Basha, Stagwell CEO and Chairman Mark Penn, Stagwell Chief AI Officer John Kahan, Code and Theory CEO Dan Gardner, and others.

Summit convened prominent journalists and leaders from Business Insider, CNN, South China Morning Post and more
Programming featured results from a new APAC edition of Stagwell’s News Advertising Study, drawing insights from nearly 10,000 respondents in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and Vietnam
SINGAPORE, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), the challenger network built to transform marketing, proudly expanded its Future of News initiative into APAC last week marked by a summit at the American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore, hosted in partnership with South China Morning Post. At the event, Stagwell unveiled new research conducted by its research consultancy HarrisX, examining public perceptions and the overall health of news advertising in the market.
The survey, fielded among 9,876 adults across Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Vietnam, builds on Stagwell’s prior News Advertising studies conducted in Canada, the U.S. and UK. This regional study further reinforces it is safe for brands to advertise adjacent to quality news content agnostic of the topic.
Key Findings Include:
- 74% of APAC adults are news readers, reading an average of 7.1 articles per day.
- 21% of APAC adults are ‘news junkies,’ checking the news an average of 7.2 times per day and reading an average of 9.4 news articles per day.
- APAC adults are more likely to follow news very closely (21%) than they are sports and entertainment (19%).
- The research reveals no evidence of brand safety concerns across key audience groups, including News Junkies, Gen Z, Millennials, and university-educated adults.
- Among highly educated respondents, the average purchase intent for brands whose ads were placed next to news articles on global politics and crime was 66%, compared to 64% for sports and 63% for business—differences that are statistically insignificant, meaning it is safe for brands to advertise next to all of these topics.
- Among parents, purchase intent for brands whose ads were placed next to news articles on crime and entertainment was 77%, respectively, echoing it is safe for brands to advertise in these environments.
“The findings of our APAC study reinforce a consistent narrative: trusted journalism connects brands with engaged audiences and fuels stronger business outcomes, said Mark Penn, Chairman and CEO of Stagwell.
“The role of news in shaping consumer trust and brand safety is as critical in this region as it is globally, and this event gave leaders across industries the chance to engage with fresh insights tailored to our markets,” said Randy Duax, Managing Director of Stagwell APAC.
Alongside the findings, the summit featured panel discussions on Why News Works for Brands and Being a Journalist in APAC Today, featuring thought leaders from news organizations including Business Insider, CNN, South China Morning Post and business leaders from regional and global companies.
Kevin Huang, Chief Operating Officer at South China Morning Post, said, “For today’s marketers, the emphasis should be on a future focused on brand suitability. Brands now have the tools and confidence to choose contexts that align with their values, effectively addressing concerns about low-quality environments. The real opportunity lies in collaborating with trusted journalism to share authentic stories that resonate in the real world.”
