Lou is your brand insights partner built inside HarrisQuest: Building Segments, Rendering Charts, and Surfacing Insights in Real Time Inside the Brand Measurement Platform

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 6, 2026 / HarrisQuest, part of Stagwell’s The Marketing Cloud (NASDAQ:STGW) and powered by The Harris Poll, today announced the launch of Lou, an AI analyst built natively inside HarrisQuest, the brand tracking platform within The Marketing Cloud. Designed by researchers for researchers, HarrisQuest enables global brands to track brand and corporate reputation consistently across 24 global markets, and Lou delivers the “why” behind the data in seconds.

“We knew this insights agent was so powerful it had to be named in honor of Lou (our founder, Louis Harris),” says John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll. “Powered by over seventy years of proven research methodology and trusted brand data, Lou delivers expert-grade insights at scale and extends trusted intelligence to every corner of the organization.”

Lou works inside HarrisQuest with full access to the brand’s data and saved analyses. It never needs to be briefed and operates around the clock. Unlike chat-based AI assistants layered onto generic dashboards, Lou executes directly inside the platform: building custom segments, rendering custom reports, applying filters, and surfacing strategic insights in real time. Most analyses are completed in less than 10 seconds. Just speak or type a question to Lou, and it acts.

AI That Acts, Not Just Answers

Lou isn’t an AI analyst that simply summarizes, it will act as an extension of your team running in the background. Lou pulls reports, custom views, and surfaces insights on your brand’s shifts and changes.

“Most AI in this category can summarize what has already happened. Lou is built to work directly in the data,” said Jonathan Gardner, CEO, HarrisQuest. “It builds the cut, renders the view, applies the filters, and helps teams understand what changed, what matters, and where to look first. We didn’t add AI to a dashboard. We put an analyst inside a measurement system.”

Lou’s capabilities include:

1. Custom Audience Segment Building: Customizable configuration by generation, geography, political ideology, income, or any combination, including bulk Designated Market Area (DMA) inputs. No data team required.

2. Voice-enabled Prompts: Users can speak to Lou and watch the data come to life. Ask about “the two weeks after our Super Bowl campaign” or “how does Gen Z feel about our brand today versus six months ago?” Lou pulls the data, builds the views, and surfaces the insight.

3. Funnel and Competitive Diagnosis: Lou does not only show what changed about your brand. It helps teams identify where the funnel is breaking and how the brand compares competitively, pointing to where the issue lies and where to look first.

4. Customized Reports: Live data is pulled from the brand’s actual performance at that moment, each savable to a permanent URL, ready for the next session or the next team member to easily view.

5. Time-over-Time Comparisons in Seconds: No manual date configuration required.

6. Boardroom-ready Outputs: Lou pulls trusted, rigorously grounded data from HarrisQuest, formatted for the C-suite brief or the analyst deep-dive, on demand.

When the data does not support a conclusion, Lou says so. Every output is grounded in the platform’s methodology, metric definitions, formulas, and reasoning rules. No hallucinated calculations. No scraping. No invented causality from cross-sectional data.

“I needed year-over-year Brand Equity across the U.S. and Mexico. That’s normally a team effort. With Lou, I built it myself in minutes,” said a Brand Marketing Manager at a major international sports federation. “It’s not a tool we check in on. It’s an analyst that’s already working.”

A Differentiated Experience: AI Inside the Measurement System

HarrisQuest stores the work teams already do: segments, saved views, historical cuts, and prior analyses, each preserved at a permanent URL. Lou operates inside that accumulated history. A new analyst stepping into the platform on day one has immediate access to an AI working from the team’s saved segments, views, and prior work. No briefing. No setup. No starting over. The longer a team uses HarrisQuest, the richer the platform context Lou can work from.

Brand Intelligence for Every Member of the Team

Lou extends the power of always-on brand intelligence to every brand insights professional, marketer, communications leader, and executive who makes decisions on brand and corporate reputation data. Users no longer need to be data specialists to dig into what is driving brand performance. Lou handles the analysis; they focus on the decision.

Users can now speak to Lou, ask what’s going on with their brand, drill into audience performance with Gen Z, sports fans in Mexico, or any segment that matters, and get insights on what is causing shifts in brand equity or consideration. Lou will surface what you need in time for the next meeting and save what the team worked on for next time.

CONGRESSIONAL HORSERACE REMAINS TIGHT AT 51-49 WITH DEMOCRATS HOLDING A 2-POINT LEAD

NEW YORK, NY and CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / March 30, 2026  Stagwell (NASDAQ:STGW) today released the results of the March Harvard CAPS / Harris poll, a monthly collaboration between the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard (CAPS) and the Harris Poll and HarrisX.

President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has dropped three points to 43%, with slight decreases across all policy areas. His job approval is highest on fighting crime in America’s cities (47%), returning America to its values (47%), and immigration (46%); and lowest on handling inflation (39%) and the economy (40%). This month’s poll also covered public opinion on the airstrikes on the Iranian regime, overall economy, midterms, DHS shutdown, voter ID requirements, and Cuba. Download the key results here.

“Trump shows a small decline given the twin events of the Iran War and the DHS shutdown, and the Congressional race remains tight,” said Mark Penn, Co-Director of the Harvard CAPS/ Harris poll and Stagwell Chairman and CEO. “Gas price increases are likely behind the decline, but such declines are likely temporary if the war goes as planned. Support for the war is split along partisan lines but there are no questions in voter minds about the evil intentions of Iranian regime.”
