Download the full report here.

Alongside the Annual Report, Stagwell published a showcase of standout AI work from across its agencies and products, highlighting innovative experiences and projects for Amazon Ads, Afterpay, Google, Lenovo, Samsung, Salesforce, Qualcomm, and many more.

“At Stagwell, we’re embedding AI across our business to stay ahead in the AI revolution, and our 2025 report makes it clear that we are a winner in the age of AI,” shared Stagwell Chairman and CEO Mark Penn. “In an industry of behemoths, legacy players distracted by restructuring and mergers, we have stayed focused – doubling down on offering clients our unique blend of leading capabilities, best-in-class talent, and technology.”

2025 Highlights:

  • Aggressively adopting AI across our business: Stagwell invested heavily in proprietary platforms, products, and partnerships that operate where marketers already work. This includes The Machine, marketing’s first agentic operating system built by Code and Theory, and reinforced through a landmark partnership with Palantir that combines Foundry – Palantir’s enterprise data and analytics platform – with The Machine’s orchestration layer and The Marketing Cloud’s propriety ID Graph.

  • Acceleration in AI-powered tool development for self-service marketers: Stagwell continued to invest in The Marketing Cloud, building AI-enabled tools for self-service marketers, which grew 34% organically in 2025 including more than 41% growth in the fourth quarter. Tools within The Marketing Cloud grew exponentially, including BERA posting 73% net revenue growth in 2025, and UNICEPTA posting 168% organic net revenue growth in the fourth quarter.

  • Delivering exceptional work for clients using AI: Agencies within the Stagwell network used AI to create outstanding work for clients across all capabilities.

    • Marketing Services: AI transformed production and personalization, automating complexity, scaling creativity, and driving measurable brand impact without proportional increases in cost.

    • Digital Transformation: AI embedded directly into client workflows, turning data into content, eliminating manual processes, and improving efficiency and digital engagement at scale.

    • Media & Commerce: Agencies adapted performance for an AI-first discovery economy, making brands legible, optimizing conversion with agentic media systems, and scaling cultural impact globally.

    • Comms & Advocacy: AI-powered tools and grassroots initiatives expanded targeted outreach and increased brand visibility across industries.

“Looking ahead, we’re poised to achieve transformative growth in 2026 and strengthen our position as a leader redefining marketing through AI,” added Penn.

New media solution enables brands to win discoverability, visibility, positive sentiment, and outcomes across major AI systems

NEW YORK, NY AND LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / March 2, 2026 / Stagwell (NASDAQ:STGW), the global challenger network transforming marketing through AI, today announced the global launch of Stagwell Search+, the industry’s first agentic platform for AI Search experiences. Built by Assembly, Stagwell’s global omnichannel media agency, in partnership with Emberos, the operating system for AI visibility, Stagwell Search+ is a category-defining solution to master the transition from traditional search engines to AI search experiences.

As Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly mediate how people discover, compare, and choose, Stagwell Search+ helps brands optimize not just for clicks and traffic, but for a new era of search where AI guides decisions and the goal is to be chosen. The solution combines an agentic platform with a differentiated framework that improves a brand’s discoverability, visibility, sentiment, and outcomes in AI Search. Unlike existing industry solutions that treat this as an SEO adjustment, Stagwell Search+ is the first built on the understanding that this is a paid, owned, earned and shared media challenge that demands a system, not simply another stack of isolated channel tactics. Stagwell Search+ unifies four core capabilities for brand performance in AI Search:

  • Audit, Assembly’s AI search product, understands and assesses a brand’s activation maturity across media channels.

  • Then Assembly’s AI search intelligence layer utilizes Emberos’ unique AI agents to measure discoverability, visibility and sentiment across generative surfaces.

  • Combined, the output gives teams the exact strategies to implement a unified, cross-channel system that influences how AI models understand and recommend brands.

  • Through continuous measurement and experimentation, Search+ compounds learning and strengthens brand performance over time.

Assembly clients are already adopting Stagwell Search+’s early model and have proven impact in early deployments, including:

  • +57% increase in visibility in AI Overviews for a software client.

  • +34% increase in revenue from AI-powered search transformation with a global technology client using AI Max, a paid search campaign type in Google Ads, for Search Ads.

  • +27% average incremental lift from Search+ system-based activation.

“Stagwell Search+ solves the ‘data-to-execution’ gap that plagues existing tools and delivers best-in-class solutions for clients by enabling them to act on AI search insights in real time with clear results. Building on the launch of The Machine, marketing’s first agentic operating system, this latest development for the media sector continues Stagwell’s momentum as an AI winner,” said Mark Penn, Chairman and CEO of Stagwell.

“The front door of the Internet has changed. LLMs are now how people discover products and make buying decisions. Stagwell gets that-and we’re excited to partner with them to bring Emberos’ AI agents and AI Brand Orchestration infrastructure to their clients so they can win where it matters most,” said Justin Inman, Founder & CEO at Emberos.

This solution comes after a strong year of momentum for Stagwell in AI following the launches of NewVoices.ai, The Machine and Agent Cloud. Assembly also continues to win industry recognition as a global leader in AI-powered performance, including being named Microsoft Advertising Partner of the Year and widely recognized by Google for its AI-first search leadership.

AI-native platform turns existing marketing stack into an intelligent system that learns from every campaign

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / January 5, 2026 / Stagwell (NASDAQ:STGW), the challenger network built to transform marketing, today announced the launch of “The Machine,” marketing’s first agentic operating system. Built by Code and Theory, Stagwell’s digital transformation agency and Adweek’s Most Innovative Agency of the Year, The Machine doesn’t replace marketers’ tools; it makes them more effective and predictive.

The Machine enhances the data systems and tools marketers already use, including Figma, Slack, Teams, Adobe, and performance dashboards. The Machine turns disconnected workflows into a unified system powered by AI agents and amplified by Stagwell’s agencies, products and data. With The Machine, every brief, creative asset and media plan feeds a system that learns, adapts and compounds. Each campaign makes the next one faster, smarter and more effective.

“The launch of The Machine, combined with our recent release of newvoices.AI and strategic partnerships with Palantir and Gradial, marks another milestone in cementing Stagwell as a leader in marketing AI,” said Mark Penn, Chairman and CEO of Stagwell. “This moment underscores Stagwell’s ability to deliver best-in-class solutions for clients and lead the industry through the AI era.”

“Most marketing AI tools ask you to rip out your infrastructure and start over,” said Dan Gardner, Founder and Chairman of Code and Theory. “The Machine does the opposite. It works where you work, improves and AI enables the tools you already use, and transforms existing operations into an agentic system. That’s the shift from isolated tools to a unified operating system.”

Code and Theory clients are already adopting The Machine’s early model. Stagwell will offer demos of The Machine at CES January 6-9 at booth #L2-P2, where attendees will see real use cases across the marketing organization, including:

  • Cross-functional orchestration: Strategy, creative, production and media work from shared intelligence rather than siloed handoffs, reducing friction and accelerating time to market.

  • Intelligence in context: Mini-Machine plugins directly into the tools marketers already in use, eliminating app-switching and workflow friction.

  • Unified strategic spine: The Machine connects brand strategy, creative production and media performance into a single source of truth, ensuring every new campaign builds on what has already been learned.

  • Creative content production at scale: AI-assisted workflows maintain brand integrity while dramatically increasing output velocity.

  • Real-time tracking: Feeds into creative and strategic decisions, creating a closed loop where optimization happens continuously.

The Machine represents the culmination of Code and Theory’s work transforming marketing operations for enterprise clients including Qualcomm, TIME, Stanley Black & Decker, Henry Schein and T. Rowe Price. The agency’s historic 2024 included 11 top industry recognitions from Fast Company, Adweek, Ad Age, the ANA, Digiday, Campaign and the Shorty Awards.

“Clients have been asking for a solution that connects people, content, data, and technology to truly realize the value of AI, and The Machine delivers just that,” said Michael Treff, CEO of Code and Theory. “We’ve turned marketing operations into a unified system rather than a collection of tools to enable marketers to embrace the next phase of AI transformation.”

The Machine will be available for enterprise deployment in Q1 2026.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) today announced new details on the privacy protective technology that will power its groundbreaking, industry-first AI and data platform. Through Stagwell’s partnership with Harvard University’s OpenDP, Stagwell and Palantir will implement novel differential privacy technologies to ensure privacy for all customers.

As announced in early November 2025, the new Palantir-Stagwell solution offers Stagwell clients access to a central hub for marketing that enables a wide range of use cases, including agentic-led audience enablement optimization and campaign management. The platform, powered by AI, allows large enterprises to sift through tens of millions of records to identify, segment, and better understand audiences in minutes — helping improve brand performance strategies and maximize overall ROI before launching campaigns.

“We believe privacy must be built into our products and solutions from the start – not something you bolt on later,” said Mark Penn, Chairman and CEO of Stagwell. “That’s why we’ve teamed up with Harvard’s OpenDP to uphold rigorous protection at every step.”

“We are excited to bring OpenDP’s differential privacy technology to Stagwell’s business and customers,” said Gary King, Weatherhead University Professor and co-director of OpenDP at Harvard. “This collaboration will create real value for Stagwell’s product for the future of marketing and should also help improve our privacy-protective methods available to all.”

Harvard University’s OpenDP project provides a rigorously engineered suite of differential privacy technologies — a mathematical framework that adds controlled statistical noise to data, ensuring that individual-level information remains unidentifiable while still enabling accurate aggregate analysis. This is the same foundational technology used by the U.S. Census Bureau and has been validated in high-stakes legal and policy contexts, including by the U.S. Supreme Court. Stagwell and Palantir’s adoption of OpenDP on this partnership underscores both companies’ commitment to transparent, academically validated privacy standards, marking a significant advancement in the responsible and scalable use of sensitive data for individuals and brands.

“During my nearly four decades working at Microsoft and IBM, we recognized privacy was a critical feature that all customers deserve. At Stagwell, it’s no different. We appreciate that privacy done right adds value to customers and allows us to maintain trust with shareholders and employees alike,” shared John Kahan, Chief AI Officer of Stagwell. “Data privacy is core to our DNA.”

The Palantir-Stagwell partnership is already seeing client adoption of its early MVP model in the United States.

About Harvard University’s OpenDP Project
OpenDP is a community effort led by Harvard Professors Gary King and Salil Vadhan to build trustworthy, open-source software tools for statistical analysis of sensitive private data. These tools, which are called OpenDP, offer the rigorous protections of differential privacy for the individuals who may be represented in confidential data and statistically valid methods of analysis for researchers who study the data. See OpenDP.org.

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.”
