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.”

NEW YORK, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HUNTER, a leading Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) marketing communications agency, today announced the launch of Bobbie, a new influencer and creator marketing solution providing end-to-end influencer marketing services at scale with a friendly human touch.

Bobbie is founded on the belief that by harnessing the storytelling and community-building power of creators, brands can build deeper relationships and make new friends. Proprietary research conducted by Bobbie reinforces that recommendations from friends are the leading source influencing us to act, buy or try something new. The research further demonstrates that nearly half of Gen Z consumers and one in four Millennials think of influencers as friends, highlighting the powerful potential of authentic creator relationships.

Bobbie is built on relationships and powered by data, consumer insights, and AI. The agency offers a new solution for marketers seeking an influencer-focused partner combining seasoned human instincts with the latest technology to identify and engage creators and drive business impact.

Three-quarters of marketers plan to have dedicated influencer marketing budgets in 2025, up from just 37% in 2017*. Over 80% say influencer marketing is essential, yet only 24% have dedicated teams managing these programs**creating a gap between ambition and execution. Bobbie will fill that gap with seasoned influencer marketing teams in New York (HQ), Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, and London to support client needs across North America and the UK.

The agency provides a leading solution within Stagwell for influencer-first marketing needs and is fully equipped to take on small to large scale influencer assignments including end-to-end influencer marketing campaigns, brand ambassador programs, creator content, affiliate marketing and beyond. HUNTER will continue to offer influencer marketing as a part of the agency’s award-winning, integrated approach including public relations and social-first programming. 

The leadership team at Bobbie represents decades of experience in influencer marketing and social and digital media and has an extensive network and unique approach to cultivating creator relationships on behalf of products and services.

Donetta Allen, Chief Influencer Officer at HUNTER, will serve as President of the new full-service solution. “Bobbie, was born from a simple but powerful insight: real connections between people drive the most meaningful brand experiences,” said Allen. “Increasingly, the creators people follow aren’t just content providers, they’re trusted friends who guide purchasing decisions, inspire lifestyle choices, and encourage brand loyalty. At Bobbie, we’ll focus on matching brands with the trusted voices that will communicate messages in a natural, approachable way that does more than reach audiences—we’ll help them build life-long relationships.”

In addition to Allen’s role as President, Monica Caponigro will serve as Managing Director of Bobbie. Caponigro most recently led influencer marketing at Nordstrom after serving as Senior Vice President of Influencer at HUNTER for several years prior.

“As influencer marketing grows its share of the marketing mix, Bobbie is a fresh new solution for clients seeking a partner with specific influencer marketing focus and expertise,” said Gigi García Russo, Chief Transformation Officer at HUNTER. “Donetta and Monica recognized early on that influencers are not a tag-on tactic but a powerful channel to drive tangible business impact. The creator economy has fundamentally changed consumer discovery and behavior, and Bobbie will empower brands to thrive in this relationship-driven marketplace.”

Headquartered in Kyiv, Ukraine, with offices in Canada and The Netherlands, PEP Group has continued to meet global production demands, with all team members affected by the crisis in Ukraine working from other locations to provide continuity to clients and partners.

    New Partnership Gives Harris Poll Clients Access to PRophet’s AI-Driven PR Software to Inform Survey Design and Maximize Press Coverage of Research Results

    NEW YORK – June 15, 2022PRophet, the first-ever AI-driven PR pitch platform built by and for PR professionals that predicts media interest and sentiment, today announced a partnership with leading global market research and consulting firm, The Harris Poll, that will maximize results for Harris clients and provide access to PRophet’s innovative platform. Both firms sit within Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), the challenger network built to transform marketing.

    Through this partnership, Harris Poll clients will receive access to the innovative PRophet software platform to test the “mediability” of their research before conducting survey field work, to confirm the data they seek will in fact be of interest to journalists. Upon survey completion, Harris clients can then use PRophet’s machine learning and natural language processing technology to test the news angle of their poll to identify the journalists most likely to cover their story and predict how positively they’d write about the results.

    “For nearly two years, PRophet’s focus has remained exclusively on improving the earned media performance of PR professionals. We do this by making teams smarter and more performative, slashing countless hours that brands and agency teams spend on mindless tasks such as media list building and patchwork PR pitch guessing games,” said Aaron Kwittken, founder and CEO, PRophet. “We are thrilled to now bring our predictive technology to support the construction and execution of the critical research completed by those same brands and agencies in conjunction with the highly acclaimed, global research leader, The Harris Poll.”

    Clients of The Harris Poll will receive and maintain access to the PRophet platform through completion of the marketing efforts around the poll’s results.  Clients will then have the option to extend their access to the platform via PRophet’s monthly pay-as-you-go subscription or through an enterprise subscription available to brands and agencies.

    “PRophet is a first-class PR performance platform that will help our clients optimize the design of their thought leadership surveys and improve internal media strategies that lead to even greater performance of their PR campaigns,” said Erica Parker, Managing Director of the Media Communications Research Practice at The Harris Poll. “Journalist interest will always be an essential part of every thought leadership project, as it bridges the critical gap between content owner and visibility among critical stakeholders, including the public. Our partnership with PRophet will lead to even more compelling surveys for our clients while helping them perfect their media outreach.”
