Accolades include being named to the Design Company of the Year list and receiving the Enduring Impact award for companies with 15-plus years of success.
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2026 / Code and Theory has received the dual honor of being named a Fast Company Design Company of the Year and selected for its “Enduring Impact” award, which recognizes the best design among companies with 15-plus years in business.
The accolades mark the agency’s fourth consecutive year in which Code and Theory has been selected for Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards.
Technology has made it easier to make things, but most businesses find it harder to make things that matter. It’s a gap that keeps growing and one that Code and Theory is uniquely built to close. For 25 years, the agency has brought creativity and technology together through a differentiated balance of 50% creatives and 50% engineers. Code and Theory has evolved that model into a digital transformation engine built to handle disruption, combining human creativity, forward-deployed expertise and agentic solutions to drive tangible business outcomes.
Over the past year, that work has delivered measurable results across industries:
- TIME: Transformed the legacy publisher into a modern, AI-powered platform, increasing digital revenue by 159% year over year.
- Stanley Black & Decker: Created one design system for more than 30 brands across 55 markets, helping increase e-commerce conversion by 40%.
- JBL: Created the industry’s first AI-native discovery system, built for the way search works now, growing AI-driven referrals by 2,434% year over year.
- T. Rowe Price: Unified 47 fragmented sites on a single system, saving 100,000 team hours and $15M in avoided costs.
- NFL: Reinvented NFL.com to help fans find what they want faster, increasing NFL+ discovery by 104% year over year and tripling acquisition.
The 2026 awards also recognize work from across the Code and Theory Network. Instrument and ŌURA have been named in the UX Design category for Instrument’s reimagining of the ŌURA app experience. Instrument’s Playspace, an open, living archive of experiments, tools and interactive sketches, has also been honored in the Experimental and Conceptual Design category. The platform gives teams a place to test ideas, build prototypes and turn emerging technologies into tangible, usable experiences.
This recognition builds on a broader history of Fast Company honors for the Code and Theory Network. In 2025, Code and Theory was named to Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies list in the Design and Teamwork categories, while Instrument was named to Fast Company’s list of Best Workplaces for Innovators. Code and Theory’s previous Innovation by Design honors include three distinctions for NBC’s Big Board, the NFL app and Design Company of the Year (2025).
This year, Code and Theory was honored alongside Google, Canva, SharkNinja and Design Bridge and Partners in the Design Agency of the Year category as well as Adobe, L’Oreal and CVS Health in the Enduring Impact category.
Dan Gardner, founder of Code and Theory, says: “It’s a crazy moment to be able to be creative and use technology to design what’s never come before. Our teams are more excited about the future than ever because moments like this don’t come around very often. As we head into our 25th anniversary, I can say that being recognized for the work we’re doing at a time like this is a real honor for our clients and all of the great talent at Code and Theory.”
Brendan Vaughan, Editor-in-Chief at Fast Company, says: “The Innovation by Design Awards have always recognized the ideas that challenge convention and show what’s possible when design is treated as a strategic force, not an afterthought. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, who demonstrate how thoughtful design can solve meaningful problems and create new possibilities for people and businesses.”

Liz Rutgersson appointed Chief Executive Officer of Assembly and Connie Chan elevated to CEO of Assembly APAC; New leadership team to drive next phase of growth for the global media agency
NEW YORK, NY AND SINGAPORE / ACCESS Newswire / September 14, 2026 / Stagwell (NASDAQ:STGW), the global challenger network transforming marketing through AI, today announced the appointment of Liz Rutgersson as Chief Executive Officer of Assembly with a global and North America remit, effective September 14, 2026. Reporting to Slavi Samardzija, Global Chair of Media & Commerce at Stagwell, Rutgersson will drive Assembly’s growth, strengthen client partnerships and lead the agency into its next chapter. Connie Chan will take on the role of CEO of Assembly APAC while continuing as Chief Growth Officer of Stagwell APAC, effective immediately. Together, these leaders will drive the next phase of growth for Assembly.
Rutgersson brings more than 20 years of marketing expertise spanning brand building and strategy, digital media, analytics and search optimization. She has a proven track record of driving new business growth while maintaining high agency and client retention rates. Rutgersson joins Assembly after 16 years at dentsu, most recently serving as CEO of iProspect North America for the past three years. Throughout her career, she has partnered with leading global brands including Hilton, eBay, Salesforce, Ferrero, Dollar General and Tesco.
Chan brings three decades of experience across media, marketing, and business leadership. Since taking on the Chief Growth Officer role, she has helped expand Stagwell’s presence across key APAC markets, driving new business growth, strengthening regional client partnerships, and advancing capabilities across media and digital experience.
“Liz and Connie are exceptional leaders with a proven track record of driving growth for advertisers, building high-performing teams and helping clients succeed in a rapidly changing media ecosystem. Their appointments strengthen Assembly’s leadership for what comes next and reinforce our commitment to creating a more modern, agile agency that delivers meaningful business outcomes for clients around the world,” said Slavi Samardzija, Global Chair of Media & Commerce at Stagwell.
“I’ve spent my career believing that the best agencies don’t just respond to change, they help define what comes next. For too long, our industry has been shaped by legacy structures that don’t always reflect what drives the best outcomes for clients. Assembly has a foundation of incredible talent, global scale and connected capabilities, and I’m energized by the opportunity to build on strengths and push them further – building around the needs of our clients’ businesses, with their performance as the clearest measure of our own success and client growth as our organizing principle,” shared Rutgersson.
Rutgersson succeeds Rick Acampora, former Global CEO of Assembly, who moved into a new role at the holding company focused on developing new commercial frameworks earlier in the year. Jill Kelly, former CEO of Assembly North America, will support the leadership transition to ensure continuity for clients, teams and partners.
The appointments come as Stagwell continues to build momentum globally and across APAC.

The multi-year collaboration embeds Stagwell’s data intelligence, creative transformation and AI capabilities directly into Adobe’s enterprise growth engine
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2026 / Stagwell (NASDAQ:STGW), the global challenger network transforming marketing through AI, today announced the next evolution of its strategic partnership with Adobe to leverage the Stagwell network to accelerate how Adobe wins, grows and retains enterprise customers.
Through the expanded partnership, which builds upon a relationship that kicked off in Q4 2024, Stagwell will drive targeted demand-generation programs across priority industries, work alongside Adobe on key accounts, and deliver senior strategic counsel and value realization services to help customers maximize the impact of their technology investments and accelerate growth.
At the center of the partnership is Code and Theory, Stagwell’s digital transformation agency, which is building a portfolio of industry-specific solutions co-developed with Adobe. Since the relationship began, Code and Theory has expanded from three planned solutions to seven, reflecting growing demand for the agency’s services and its deep expertise across a breadth of industries, including financial services, B2B, sports and retail.
The momentum is already building in market, with the Creative Intelligence System (CIS) for financial services, which launched in April, followed by the Content Operating System (COS) for sports launched in June, both powered by Adobe CX Enterprise helping teams and leagues meet the growing content demands of operating as modern media companies. A third industry-specific solution is scheduled to launch later this year, with additional offerings planned over the next 18 months. This shared vision also extends to Adobe and Stagwell’s investment in the future of sports marketing, where fandom, culture, technology and business increasingly converge. Adobe’s multi-year partnership as SPORT BEACH’s Official Experience Partner exemplifies this vision, creating meaningful experiences and platforms that unite brands, athletes, creators and business leaders around the evolving intersection of sports, culture, business and technology.
“Adobe and Stagwell share a belief that the future of enterprise marketing will be defined by the convergence of data, AI, technology and creativity,” said Stagwell Chairman and CEO Mark Penn. “By bringing together Adobe’s industry-leading platform with Stagwell’s strategic, creative and marketing expertise, we are helping brands create lasting business value at scale.”
Michael Treff, CEO of Code and Theory said, “By combining our technology, experience, and marketing expertise with Adobe’s platforms, we’re building solutions that are far more differentiated than what either of us could deliver alone. Take our first solution: most enterprises test creative after the fact when it’s too late to change anything meaningful. We flipped that – putting intelligence at the moment of creation, not after it. Each solution is built to solve a specific problem and deliver value immediately.”
