Moonrock’s interactive activations will open new avenues for Stagwell’s (STGW) GALE and its impressive roster of clients.

NEW YORK , Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Leading Business Agency GALE has announced a strategic partnership with renowned gaming design specialist Moonrock Labs. The collaboration combines Moonrock Lab’s industry-leading game development and design capabilities with GALE’s award-winning integrated marketing approach, revolutionizing gaming solutions for the agency’s client base.


Moonrock Lab’s specialty capabilities include crafting curated activations within video game titans Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, and ARK: Survival Evolved. These playable worlds have amplified the reach of partners, including Coca-Cola, Fanta, Burger King, and Macy’s. By leveraging Moonrock Lab’s expertise in these realms, GALE further solidifies its commitment to the gaming space while offering unparalleled access in three key areas:

  • Emerging products and technology. GALE will transform emerging products into interactive, accessible experiences for clients, bringing opportunities for innovation upstream through Moonrock’s experienced product team.
  • Research and development. The partnership will deliver thought leadership and bespoke research to accelerate industry understanding of gaming’s impact and effectiveness.
  • Access to gamers. GALE will leverage Moonrock’s extensive network of millions of real gamers, many from the key Gen Z demographic, to promote activations to a broader audience.

The alliance follows a number of collaborations with GALE clients, including Truth Initiative, Wells Enterprises and MilkPEP. Most recently, GALE engaged Moonrock to build three original Fortnite maps for MilkPEP launched at VidCon, integrated Bomb Pop® into Restaurant Tycoon II on Roblox, and in coming weeks will host several Minecraft events with creators and community members, including free custom items for Truth Initiative.

“Marketers are still grappling with how to authentically integrate into gaming ecosystems and communities. To do so, they must transition from a strategy of mere impressions to one of complete immersion. GALE’s partnership with Moonrock Labs allows us to accelerate marketers on that transformative journey,” GALE Chief Innovation Officer Ben James said.

“Our previous projects with GALE have proven it’s possible to build long-form, immersive, interactive commercials consumers will line up to experience,” said John Benyamine, co-founder of Moonrock Labs. “Even more exciting is the fun, communal feeling generated before, during and after each event. These are effectively short-term, branded theme parks in the cloud that can be accessed from any device anywhere in the world – and admission is free.”

Earlier this year, GALE unveiled Advance Party, an innovation practice aimed at integrating emerging and innovative formats into its storytelling machine, driving exponential growth for clients. The partnership with Moonrock Labs marks the first of several exciting announcements to come.

Also in 2023, Moonrock Labs launched Black-focused gaming site LoopBreak with support from Google Play, as well as content creation for clients including Samsung, Star Trek, and Skydance Interactive.

‘Beyond Words: A Guide to Inclusive Language,’ a new foundational resource for brands, will serve as the basis of the all-staff certification program for Code and Theory employees with plans to offer training network-wide across Stagwell (STGW) and throughout the industry.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Code and Theory, Stagwell’s (NASDAQ: STGW) fastest-growing digital transformation and engineering network, is launching “Beyond Words: A Guide to Inclusive Language.” The 94-page guide equips marketers with the practical tools to choose inclusive language that will invite communities in, grow audiences and create brand love with consumers they may have failed to recognize in the past.

The guide’s 10 chapters take a deep dive into commonly used language with specific directives about what terms marketers must adopt. It also offers the context and history behind discriminatory language that marketers must avoid.

Language is an ever-evolving medium. New phrases enter the lexicon; others become outdated. That’s why this new guide updates the highly recognized first-edition “Words Up: Guide to Inclusive Writing at Code and Theory”, which debuted last year. It also features new chapters about how to speak about addiction and religion. The guide will be updated annually to reflect the active changes in language and culture.

To ensure that Code and Theory employees are using the most inclusive language for client projects and beyond, the agency has introduced its “Inclusive Language Certification Program.” Kicking off after Labor Day, all Code and Theory employees will be offered a seven-hour, biweekly certification program. The training will then be made available to all 70-plus Stagwell agencies globally, with plans to further offer the certification to the industry at large.

How to Speak about Addiction and Other Major Updates

The 10 chapters of ‘Beyond Words’ delve into: Ability, Addiction, Age, Appearance, Gender, Nationality, Race, Religion, Sexuality and Socioeconomic Language. Each chapter also includes important history and context of existing language and brand case studies. Additionally, the guide provides insightful opportunities for marketers and advertising examples.

  • For example, in terms of addiction, brands should avoid using the words “addicted,” “junkie,” and associated terms, to describe food, snacks, beauty products, and other products. It trivializes substance abuse disorder.
  • Another example to consider: The term LatinX is used to offer a gender-neutral way to describe someone of Latin American/Hispanic descent. But the sounds it contains work better in English than in Spanish. For Spanish speakers seeking a gender-neutral word, “Latine” is preferred.

The guide was authored by Code and Theory’s Group Director of Inclusive Design and Marketing Strategy, Kirstyn Nimmo, Group Creative Director Alison Hess and 15 members of the Code and Theory copywriting team. Together, they are continuously monitoring language and culture to help guide marketers, employees and the industry at large.

Code and Theory’s Inclusive Design and Marketing Strategy Discipline is the first holistic unit dedicated to ensuring every agency output is inclusive at its core; helping brands resonate with today’s diverse consumers and increase retention among employees.

Nimmo says: “Evolutions in language are direct reflections of culture and our words have the power to either communicate bias and ignorance, or honor and respect. People from historically excluded groups have always navigated these nuances. It’s time for marketers to level up their understanding and thoughtfully reach consumers who have been ignored for far too long.”

Hess says: “In a world of remote and hybrid work environments, we need new cues to inform the way we act, speak and connect with one another. With this guide’s updates and expansions, people and brands have the most current resource to ensure they’re communicating with thoughtfulness and intention.”

Mike Treff, CEO of Code and Theory says: “The inclusive language guide was born out of Code and Theory’s culture of continuous improvement, even when it pushes us out of our comfort zone.  The team had a very passionate discussion about the correct words to use for our client work and with each other. The end result is this guide and the certification program. The goal is to cause a ripple effect in how brands can more effectively reach consumers by driving equity through words.”

Creating and maintaining fandom is the ultimate goal for today’s marketers. For Gen Z consumers, brands with consistent values drive their fandom – and purchasing decisions. This highly diverse demographic wants to know they are supporting brands for the right reasons. So how can brands more effectively integrate Gen Z into their messaging? Tune into conversations from Stagwell’s SPORT BEACH Content Studio to learn more about what compels Gen Z to become a brand’s biggest fan.

— Beth Sidhu, Chief Brand and Communications Officer

The Youth: a focus group of fortune tellers

“Gen Z is the first digitally native consumer segment. They have a long path to purchasing and you need to understand them in a fully nuanced and intersectional lens. They are more than just a demographic; they are the most diverse demographic that marketers have had to address to date.” – Christine Guilfoyle, President of SeeHer.

Guilfoyle joined Christine Fruechte, CEO at Stagwell’s Colle McVoy at SPORT BEACH this June to unpack Gen Z’s important role in the consumer market, gender equality and the demand for more recognition of female athletes. Listen in here.

Make New Fans, but Keep the Old (One is Silver and the Other, Gold)

What are younger generations of consumers demanding from brands? Respect, transparency, and shared values. Hear from Marissa Solis, SVP Global Brand and Consumer Marketing at the NFL and Claudia Romo Edelman, Founder of We are All Human on how brands are leaning into equity to drive fandom among Gen Z consumers. 

“Young people are not the future; they are the present”

“Today, Gen Z makes up 30% of the population. They already control over 100 billion dollars in spending power,” Seth Maxwell, Founder and CEO of Legacy Youth Leadership.

Young people want a seat at the decision-making table– and Legacy Youth Leadership is working hard to bridge them and marketers. Watch Seth’s interview with Lauryn Nwanpka, Managing Director, Brand Citizens, to learn more about how your brand can meaningfully engage young consumers.

Stagwell (STGW) Platform Honored at Prestigious International Annual Awards Program Recognizing Standout Marketing, Advertising and Sales Technology Around the World

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) Marketing Cloud’s PRophet, the first and only generative and predictive AI SaaS platform built by and for PR professionals, today announced that it is the recipient of the “Best Media Outreach Platform” award in the 6th annual MarTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by MarTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global marketing, sales and advertising technology industry today.


 PRophet is a generative and predictive AI SaaS platform serving the PR community. It analyzes a reporters’ past coverage to predict future level of interest in a specific pitch topic or angle.

Earlier this year, PRophet released the industry’s first generative AI (GAI) writing tool, Taylor, fully integrated into the PRophet platform. Built on top of OpenAI, Taylor enables brands and agencies to create compelling content and provides insights into which types of content are most effective. Once users provide a small prompt or press release content, Taylor can produce personalized pitches, social posts and executive biographies in seconds. Taylor can also rewrite releases or pieces a multitude of times over. This can be used for blog posts, articles, social media content and more.

Taylor also offers the choice of tone for generated content, and once PRophet’s predictive AI analyzes the text and compiles a list of reporters for outreach, Taylor then personalizes pitches for any reporter users select.

Additionally, “Powered by PRophet” is the first industry platform that offers a white labeling option for agency clients. Customers can customize the PRophet platform to their specifications and go to market.

“PRophet was created by what we saw as a lack of data-driven earned media ‘intelligence’ tools available to PR professionals. By using AI we can bring science to the art of communications and make PR people more performance oriented,” said Aaron Kwittken, founder and CEO of PRophet. “Communications engineers© are the next era of modern communicators that embrace technology to be more performative, predictive and productive. Thank you to MarTech Breakthrough for this honor. We won’t rest on our laurels, we keep innovating and improving the user experience while also expanding our data lakes and models.”

The mission of the MarTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a range of marketing, sales and advertising technology related categories, including marketing automation, customer experience, performance marketing AdTech, SalesTech, marketing analytics, content and social marketing, mobile marketing and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 3,500 nominations from over 19 different countries throughout the world.

“With technology that has lagged for decades, the PR industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation. PRophet eliminates guesswork, using a dataset and technology to guide PR pros toward achieving coverage of an announcement and in developing a positive, lasting relationship with the journalist by delivering more relevant content,” said James Johnson, Managing Director at MarTech Breakthrough. “The powerful capabilities of PRophet’s predictive and generative AI capabilities make it our choice for ‘Best Media Outreach Platform.’ Leveraging natural language processing and machine learning, brands, agencies, and freelancers can more effectively target and successfully pitch to journalists around.”
