NEW YORKDec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) today announced the launch of NewVoices.ai, a lifelike AI platform designed to redefine how organizations manage sales, customer engagement, and retention at scale. Built as an end-to-end operating system for modern revenue teams, NewVoices.ai functions as an independent sales agent that can book appointments, drive conversions, resolve questions, and handle customer concerns around the world, in any language, with a 24/7 instant response.

Unlike generic AI chatbots, NewVoices.ai is built as a true one-to-one intelligence layer that can engage in meaningful, information-based sales conversations at levels superior to typical existing sales conversations.

The platform continuously adapts to people’s preferences, history, and goals so every interaction is personalized. As you engage with it, the system keeps learning, becoming more attuned to people’s style and needs over time.

“NewVoices.ai is a new dimension in agent interaction with people to accomplish sales, appointments, research interviews and retention calls. We believe this opens up a huge new market for us,” shared Mark Penn, Chairman and CEO of Stagwell. “Agents like NewVoices are at the center of Stagwell’s strategy of AI transformation and new revenue opportunities.”

Powered by Stagwell’s proprietary data and designed for one-to-one personalization, the platform learns from every interaction to deliver responses shaped around each individual customer. The outcome is an AI workforce that feeds directly into an enterprise stack and delivers human-level tailored experiences that traditional systems lack.

Enterprises can deploy ready-made solutions or customize solutions for their own workflows, including:

  • Sales and revenue
  • Customer support
  • Retention and renewals
  • Payments and operations
  • Surveys and feedback

“With NewVoices.ai, companies can replace fragmented sales workflows with a single, intelligent engine poised to disrupt the revenue ecosystem entirely,” said Eran Nizri, Founder of NewVoices.ai and The Marketing Cloud’s LEADERS and InfluencerMarketing.ai (IMAI). “NewVoices.ai is not just software or outsourcing – it’s a lifelike, always-on AI workforce that delivers measurable results from day one.”

Stagwell Chairman and CEO Mark Penn unveiled survey of 100 CEOs on stage at The Wall Street Journal’s 2025 CEO Council Summit

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), the challenger network built to transform marketing, unveiled the results of a survey of 100 American CEOs to gauge sentiment on business priorities, economic outlook, and views of AI advancements heading into 2026. The study, conducted by Stagwell’s National Research Group (NRG), provides guidance on how CEOs are anticipating business, economic and political shifts leading into the new year.

Key findings from the study include:

  • CEOs support AI as a transformative force: Nearly all CEOs (85%) see AI as entering a healthy growth phase rather than a bubble, with generative AI viewed as the most transformative technology of 2026. 78% of CEOs maintain they are bullish on AI’s impact on workplace efficiency and innovation.
  • CEOs predict economic unease, but maintain measured confidence: While 62% of CEOs believe the U.S. is on the wrong track, nearly three in four (74%) express confidence in the resilience of the U.S. economy heading into 2026.
  • Inflation, debt, and jobs dominate CEO agendas: Financial stability is the top policy focus for 2026, with managing inflation (61%), reducing debt (47%), and job creation (33%) marked as top policy priorities.
  • Policy and political concerns weigh on CEO confidence: Regulatory and policy shifts (66%) and trade restrictions (60%), are expected to have the greatest impact on business. Nearly half (46%) are pessimistic about political leaders’ stability and predictability.

For the full results, visit stagwellglobal.com.

Methodology
The findings are drawn from research conducted by Stagwell’s National Research Group (NRG) with 100 U.S.-based CEOs leading organizations with 10,000 or more employees. The sample reflects a mix of CEO tenures, cross-industry representation, and B2B and B2C companies. The survey was fielded online between October 21 and November 10, 2025.

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.”

One login. Every major AI model. Fully customizable assistants for modern marketing teams.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, The Marketing Cloud, a part of the Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) network, announced the public launch of Agent Cloud—a secure, unified platform that simplifies access to the world’s leading AI tools and purpose-built marketing assistants. 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.
