It is designed to increase the visibility of diverse role models and help build confidence, drive participation, and ensure women and girls see themselves represented in sport at every stage of life."At Gatorade, we see how powerful sport can be in shaping culture and creating connection," said Carolyn Braff, Vice President, Sports & Entertainment, PepsiCo. "This Women's Leadership Council brings together leaders committed to advancing visibility and opportunity for women across sport. As Gatorade continues investing in and learning from women through initiatives like our Body of Science work, we believe those insights can help fuel broader progress across the ecosystem-from athletes to coaches to future leaders. I'm proud to be part of this group and support an effort focused on creating greater representation, access, and pathways for women across sport."Intentionally composed to reflect a range of perspectives, the Council brings together leaders who reflect the breadth of today's sports ecosystem. Their collective insight will guide the Council's annual focus and inform recommendations that unlock greater opportunity for women across sport. The Council will be co-chaired by Basketball Hall of Famer, Emmy Award-Winning Broadcaster, & Entrepreneur Candace Parker, SPORT BEACH CEO Beth Sidhu, and Jasper Advisors Founder & CEO Julie Andreeff Jensen."Throughout my career, I've experienced how important representation and opportunity are at every level of sport," said Candace Parker, Basketball Hall of Famer, Emmy Award-Winning Broadcaster, & Entrepreneur. "The moments when you see women leading and represented can have a lasting impact. I'm excited to be part of a group working to build on that and expand what's possible for women across sport."2026 Women's Leadership Council MembersTara August, President, A Type, Inc.Carolyn Braff, Vice President, Sports & Entertainment, PepsiCoJordan Chiles, Renowned Gymnast and Two-Time OlympianElle Duncan, Emmy Award-Winning Broadcaster and Lead Host, NetflixAndrea Fairchild, Senior Vice President, Global Sponsorship Strategy, VisaLindsey Harding, Assistant Coach, Los Angeles Lakers and Former WNBA All-StarJulie Jensen, Founder & CEO, Jasper AdvisorsJennifer King, Offensive Analyst, North Carolina Central University; First Black Female Assistant Coach in NFLKelly Mahoney, Chief Marketing Officer, Ulta BeautyAnn Miller, EVP, Global Sports Marketing, NIKECandace Parker, Basketball Hall of Famer, Emmy Award-Winning Broadcaster, & EntrepreneurSam Rapoport, Flag Football Executive & NFL ConsultantNadia Rawlinson, Co-owner, Operating Chairman & League Governor, Chicago SkyBeth Sidhu, CEO, SPORT BEACHJess Sims, Peloton Instructor and ESPN ReporterMadisen Skinner, Three-time NCAA National Champion, 2025 LOVB Finals MVP and ChampionSarah Spain, Emmy Award-Winning Sports Journalist and Host of Good Game with Sarah Spain, iHeartMediaAbout SPORT BEACHConsidered the authoritative voice on sports marketing, SPORT BEACH connects athletes, brands and creatives for curated experiences and conversations that drive growth at the intersection of sport, brand and culture.

BERA.ai Launches LLM Brand Rankings, Connecting How AI Models See Your Brand to Revenue and GrowthJune 1, 2026 9:15 AM
ACCESS NewswireNew capability embedded in the BERA brand management platform lets marketers compare their BERA Score and Love Curve position against how leading LLMs rank their brandNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 1, 2026 / BERA.ai, the only brand measurement platform to tie brand equity to revenue and business growth, today announced the debut of BERA LLM Brand Rankings, a new capability built directly into the BERA platform. For the first time, marketers can see how large language models (LLMs) rank their brand alongside the proprietary BERA Score and Love Curve, with the ability to understand what to do next to improve their LLM rankings.As consumers increasingly turn to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other AI assistants to discover, compare, and choose brands, a brand's visibility inside LLMs has become a new front in the battle for growth. Until now, marketers had to leverage SEO-focused tools to track AI rankings, with no way to connect that visibility to brand equity or revenue; BERA.ai closes that gap."Brand has always lived wherever consumers make decisions, and today, more of those decisions start with a prompt to an LLM," said Kraig Schulz, Chief Customer Officer at BERA.ai. "We're showing brand leaders how their BERA Score, position on the Love Curve, and LLM rankings move together, as well as how to improve their brand position with LLMs. Coupled with new Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) integrations, BERA can recommend ways to improve your brand position with LLMs. That, along with our Brand-to-Business™ connection, is a category of insight you can't get anywhere else."What LLM Brand Rankings unlocksEmbedded inside the BERA platform, LLM Brand Rankings gives brand, marketing, and insights teams a single view of:How leading LLMs such as Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude rank their brand across the categoriesSide-by-side comparison of their BERA Score and Love Curve position against LLM ranking performance, exposing where brand equity and AI visibility align or divergeThe key sources defining each ranking, so teams can see how AI models define their brand as well as what steps to take to improve their LLM rankingsThe connection to Brand-to-Business™, BERA's proprietary analysis linking brand equity to sales, revenue, and enterprise value, so LLM visibility is measured against business outcomes, not vanity metricsBuilt for the brands that already trust BERA.aiBERA.ai is the only brand measurement platform that ties brand equity back to revenue and business growth. Its Brand-to-Business™ analysis is trusted by Fortune 500 companies to measure and predict the financial value of brand investment. LLM Brand Rankings extends that same rigor into the AI era, giving enterprise marketers a defensible, decision-grade view of AI visibility not a standalone SEO add-on disconnected from how the brand actually performs.LLM Brand Rankings is available now to BERA.ai clients inside the BERA brand management platform.About BERA.aiBERA.ai is the only brand intelligence platform that measures the true Brand-to-Business™ connection, proving how brand equity drives revenue, growth, and long-term value. Independently validated by third parties, BERA's approach delivers actionable insights that help the world's leading brands defend, justify, and optimize their marketing investments.

DonerColle Partners Fuels Creative Ambition With First Chief Creative Officer AppointmentMay 28, 2026 9:31 AM
ACCESS NewswireAward-Winning Creative Leader Mariana O'Kelly to Shape Creative Vision for Doner and Colle McVoyDETROIT, MI AND MINNEAPOLIS, MN / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / DonerColle Partners today announced the appointment of Mariana O'Kelly as its first chief creative officer, reaffirming its commitment to helping brands win between the coasts through creative that drives culture and business. O'Kelly will lead creative direction across Doner and Colle McVoy effective June 1.O'Kelly brings nearly 30 years of global creative leadership, shaping work for iconic brands like KFC, Philips, Kellogg's and Campbell's, alongside household staples from SC Johnson and Kimberly-Clark, including Huggies and Pledge. Her work has earned top industry recognition and driven lasting business impact. "Mariana's ability to uncover the emotional and cultural truth within a brand and turn it into creative work that influences behavior is what makes her the kind of leader brands need in their corner to win today," said Jessica Henrichs, CEO, DonerColle Partners. "For nearly three decades on three continents, she's proven that when creative is rooted in lived understanding, the results follow. That's the competitive advantage this partnership was built for."O'Kelly joins DonerColle Partners from Leo Burnett Chicago, where she served as EVP/executive creative director overseeing the Kellogg's portfolio, including Special K, Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Raisin Bran and Kashi. During her tenure, she unified the work under a single creative vision, modernizing it to better reflect today's culture. This effort elevated the work and earned widespread industry recognition, including a Cannes Lion.Prior to Leo Burnett, O'Kelly spent nearly a decade at Ogilvy, with leadership roles in both Johannesburg and Chicago. As ECD in Johannesburg, she built the office into one of the most-awarded creative agencies in South Africa and a top 10 creative agency globally within the Ogilvy network. She left as the most decorated female creative in the Johannesburg office to become global executive creative director in Chicago, leading creative for SC Johnson's portfolio of iconic household brands."Joining DonerColle Partners is an opportunity to help shape the next chapter of creative for brands that move everyday American life," said O'Kelly. "Doner and Colle McVoy have earned the trust of some of the most recognized brands in their categories through decades of award-winning creative work and measurable business impact. Now it's about building on that foundation and delivering work at a scale that matches the ambition behind this partnership."As CCO, O'Kelly will oversee creative for DonerColle Partners' portfolio of national brands, including The Coca-Cola Company, DQ, Hershey, Jeep, Ram, La-Z-Boy, Perdue, McCormick & Company, Revlon and The UPS Store."Doner has built a legacy of breakthrough creativity through an unrelenting belief that the best work starts with the people it's made for," said David DeMuth, executive chairman, DonerColle Partners. "Mariana brings a rare combination of instinct, craft and a sharp understanding of how modern audiences engage with brands. She's exactly the kind of creative leader this partnership was built for."O'Kelly's work consistently connects cultural relevance to measurable business outcomes:For Huggies, she launched the World's First Baby Marathon - a 21 km race between four babies wearing custom distance-tracking wearables, streamed in real time across digital channels. The campaign trended within 10 minutes and drove nearly a 30% increase in diaper sales.For Frosted Flakes, she brought Tony the Tiger to hip-hop for the first time, developing an original track performed by Grammy-nominated rapper J.I.D. to reach teens, driving a 2,000% increase in YouTube traffic and a deeper connection with a key target audience.For Special K, when a Times Square billboard featuring chef Molly Baz - then nine months pregnant - was pulled after two days, O'Kelly seized the opportunity. A week later, Baz became the first pregnant woman to appear on a Special K box, sparking a national conversation and selling out the limited-edition box in under a week.O'Kelly is a 2025 Adweek Creative 100 honoree and served as Cannes Lions Jury President in 2022. She has won three Cannes Grand Prix and two Creative Effectiveness Grand Prix at The Loeries in addition to more than 75 international awards across Cannes Lions, D&AD, The One Show and The Clios. The Gunn Report ranked her the number-one ECD in South Africa and 12th globally. Her work has been recognized for blending emotional storytelling with culture-first brand behavior.Outside of work, O'Kelly is an aspiring painter who believes the best creative ideas often come from observing the people around her. She's the mother of twin boys about to graduate high school and the first-and, so far, only-winner to bring her husband and children onto the Cannes stage to collect a Grand Prix, a moment that repeated itself three years later.Reporting to Henrichs, O'Kelly's appointment comes at a time of continued momentum for DonerColle Partners, which was established earlier this year to serve the brands that move America by winning with the consumers who drive it. Colle McVoy was recently named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2026, while Doner continues to be recognized for its strategic and creative leadership.About DonerColle PartnersDonerColle Partners is a newly combined Stagwell (STGW) partnership formed between leading Stagwell agencies Doner and Colle McVoy, each with 90 years of history.

Assembly Rolls out Stagwell Search+ Across APAC as AI Reshapes Brand DiscoveryMay 14, 2026 12:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireAs consumers turn from traditional to AI Search Experiences, Assembly shifts the focus from search rankings to securing a dominant 'share of prompt'.HONG KONG, HK / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2026 / As search becomes increasingly AI-led and zero-click, brands need new strategies to shape how they appear in answers, not just in links. APAC has emerged as a global leader in AI Search adoption, with 78% of users reporting weekly usage. Increasingly, AI Search Experiences shape brand discovery and consideration before users ever visit a website.In response, global omnichannel media agency Assembly today announced the rollout of Stagwell Search+ in APAC - a new system designed to help brands understand and influence how they are represented across AI-driven search environments.The launch marks a fundamental shift away from treating search as a standalone channel. Instead, Stagwell Search+ operates across a full ecosystem of paid, owned, earned, and shared media, where AI-generated answers determine visibility and performance. This shift is especially complex in APAC, where a fragmented landscape of large language models, spanning multiple languages and cultural contexts, creates inconsistent brand visibility. A brand may appear authoritative in one model while remaining invisible or misrepresented in another, introducing a new and largely unmeasured risk for marketers.Built by Assembly in partnership with emberos, Stagwell Search+ is powered by the industry's first agentic operating system for AI search. The platform continuously monitors how brands appear across models and languages and orchestrates & measures the lift from actions across content, media, and digital channels to improve visibility. Rather than automating changes directly into platforms, the system is designed to guide human decision-making with AI agents - helping teams take precise, strategic action while protecting the quality and integrity of brand experiences.Stagwell Search+ is currently integrated with leading global models from OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and Anthropic with additional integrations across regional platforms such as DeepSeek planned for later this year."AI is already making brand decisions without marketers in the room - and in APAC, that challenge is amplified by language and cultural complexity," said Yi En Chye, VP of Experience and Activation, APAC. "Success is no longer defined by rankings or clicks, but by a brand's ability to secure share of prompt. Stagwell Search+ gives brands the visibility and control they need to compete in this new environment."ABOUT ASSEMBLYAssembly is a global omnichannel agency built for brands that want a more modern approach to building brands that perform. Backed by the Stagwell network, we are a literal assembly of data, talent, and technology built to unlock smarter, faster, and better-performing outcomes from the bottom up -not the top down. Curious, collaborative, and driven by change, we are an agency of builders who believe the better the experience, the better the performance. We don't see brand and performance as an either/or. For us, it's always both. The + symbol in our logo, known as the ORAD, represents this mindset. It's a mark of how we think, how we build, and how we deliver results across the full funnel. Assembly's foundation is built on three core elements: our purpose-built STAGE Experience Engine, the strategic product it powers-Brand Performance Planning (BPP) - and an organizational design built for speed, depth, and the demands of modern marketing.

The Harris Poll Introduces AI-Ready Research Packet in Partnership with NeuIQ, Transforming How Enterprise Clients Access and Activate Research IntelligenceMay 12, 2026 6:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireA first-of-its-kind offering that converts traditional research outputs into structured, governed, AI-ready intelligence built for clients' pre-existing, internal AI systems.NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / The Harris Poll, a global public opinion and advisory firm and part of Stagwell (NASDAQ:STGW), today announced the launch of its AI-Ready Research Packet, developed in partnership with NeuIQ, The Harris Poll's AI transformation partner. The offering converts traditional research deliverables - including PDFs, PowerPoints, Excel/CSV cross-tabs, and other raw data files - into structured, governed, AI-ready intelligence that enterprise clients can immediately ingest into their own AI systems and activate through AI agents with no new system adoption.The AI-Ready Research Packet marks a significant evolution in how The Harris Poll delivers research to its clients, addressing one of the most pressing challenges facing enterprise organizations today: the growing incompatibility between traditional research outputs and modern AI infrastructure.Delivering Research Built for the AI EraAs enterprises accelerate investment in data lakes, large language models, and AI-driven decision-making systems, third-party research has increasingly become a bottleneck. Most insights firms continue to deliver findings in outdated formats that require significant manual transformation before they can be used inside AI systems. The Harris Poll's AI-Ready Research Packet eliminates that friction entirely.Through NeuIQ's existing technology, The Harris Poll now delivers research outputs that are ingestible, traceable, and optimized for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) - enabling enterprise models to reason, cite, and predict with confidence (read: no hallucination) using The Harris Poll intelligence at their core."We're changing how we deliver our research because our clients deserve outputs that blend easily into their existing structures and meet them where they need it most," said John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll."The AI-Ready Research Packet delivers the intelligence our clients have always trusted from The Harris Poll in a structured, governed, and ready for whatever they're building format," adds Jenna Lauer, The Harris Poll's CCO. "This is what it looks like when a market research firm leads into the AI era for its clients, rather than catching up to it.""NeuIQ was built on the belief that data and AI should work together seamlessly and that the insights industry has a critical role to play in driving real Decision Intelligence for enterprises," said Naeem Harnekar, CEO of NeuIQ. "Our partnership with The Harris Poll is exactly the kind of transformation we set out to enable: taking world-class insights and making them decision-grade intelligence that is natively compatible with the AI infrastructure enterprises are building right now. This is a first-mover moment for the industry."What is DeliveredThe Harris Poll's AI-Ready Research Packet is available as part of any client research engagement and provides clients with:AI-ready intelligence files: structured outputs and governed summary intelligence, optimized for direct ingestion into enterprise AI environments and data lakes.RAG-optimized research: outputs formatted for Retrieval-Augmented Generation, enabling enterprise AI agents to reason and cite with confidence.The Harris Poll reliability: over 70 years of methodological rigor, now delivered in a format built for the systems of today and tomorrow.Seamless integration: research that plugs directly into existing enterprise AI infrastructure with no reformatting required.The AI-Ready Research Packet is available across The Harris Poll's solutions and services portfolio, delivered in partnership with NeuIQ.About The Harris PollThe Harris Poll is one of the longest-running and most respected surveys in American history, tracking public opinion, corporate reputation, and brand health since 1956. As part of Stagwell (NASDAQ:STGW), The Harris Poll delivers research, analytics, and measurement solutions to the world's leading brands. With a global reach of more than ninety countries, The Harris Poll offers advisory services across sectors to world leaders, CEOs, and business decision-makers with state-of-the-art analytics, real-time software services, and practitioners in marketing, reputation, customer experience, trends, futures, and thought leadership/research-for-public release.

BERA.ai Launches Brand-to-Business(TM) AI Agent, Delivering Same-Day, Board-Ready Insights on Business ImpactMay 11, 2026 9:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireConverts weeks of analysis into hours, helping CMOs connect brand performance directly to business outcomesNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 11, 2026 / BERA.ai, the only brand management platform that connects brand equity to business outcomes, today announced the launch of its Brand-to-Business™ AI Agent, a new service offering that delivers same-day, board-ready reports on a brand's business impact. The new agent delivers timely, decision-grade brand insights to marketing and brand leaders exactly when they need them, cutting a process that once took months to complete to less than an hour. The Brand-to-Business™ AI Agent builds on BERA's proven Brand-to-Business™ methodology, which uses Consumer Cross-Sectional Modeling, Time Series Correlation, and Marketing Mix Model (MMM) Integration to quantify how brand equity drives revenue. The new AI agent enables clients to request an analysis and receive a fully synthesized, presentation-ready report the same day, eliminating the bottleneck that has historically stood between brand teams and the financial proof points their leadership demands."Our clients don't operate on a two-week clock anymore. Their boards, CFOs, and CEOs want answers now," said Kraig Schulz, Chief Customer Officer at BERA.ai. "A CMO can now ask a question on Friday afternoon and walk into a Monday board meeting with a defensible, data-backed answer about how their brand is driving revenue. That's a fundamental shift in how brand intelligence gets used inside the world's biggest companies, and it puts our clients in a stronger position every time the budget conversation comes up."The launch arrives at a moment when marketing leaders are under increasing pressure to justify brand investment with business outcomes.

New Milken Institute-Harris Poll Finds Historic Consensus on AI Workforce Policy, but a Critical Gap Remains Between Employer Intent and ActionMay 4, 2026 11:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireA new survey of American workers, business leaders, and the broader public reveals near-universal agreement on the action needed for sustainable success in the AI eraLOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 4, 2026 / At a moment of deep political division, a new survey from the Milken Institute-Harris Poll Listening Project shows there is something Americans can agree upon: Preparing the U.S. workforce for AI should transcend partisan lines. The same research, released today at the Milken Institute Global Conference, finds a widening gap between what business leaders say about AI readiness and what their companies are actually doing about it-with a strong majority of business leaders personally supporting measures, while a small minority of companies are actively implementing policies. The report, Bridging the Technology Advancement Gap: A New Consensus for the AI Era, signals that businesses feel they can't go it alone and believe that government and corporations together must act now for long-term success.Historic Consensus Across All Demographics for AI Workforce ReadinessAt a moment of deep political division, AI workforce readiness has quietly become a strongly bipartisan issue in America. The survey found that 83 percent of Americans (82 percent of Republicans, 83 percent of Independents, and 85 percent of Democrats) agree that AI workforce readiness should transcend partisan politics. Ninety percent of business leaders agree.Additionally, majorities of both workers and business leaders support a variety of protection measures, including mandatory AI workforce impact assessments, advance notice requirements before AI-related workforce changes, and government-funded community college training and reskilling."Business leaders and workers across America agree: Action on AI workforce policy needs to come now, before disruption arrives-not after," said John Gerzema, CEO, The Harris Poll. "This issue crosses the political divide in ways we haven't seen in a long time, and now is the time for coordinated policy infrastructure to close the gap."The Technology Advancement GapDespite this consensus, a major disconnect persists between how business leaders and workers feel about the AI workforce transition. Most business leaders see an AI-enabled economy as an opportunity-including 87 percent who call AI workforce readiness a top-3 business priority. However, 85 percent of business leaders admit to feeling pressure to appear further along than they actually are, with nearly as many agreeing that "most companies in their industry would be caught ‘AI-washing' if investigated.This say-do gap leaves workers feeling like they are navigating the transition on their own, and 41 percent of workers saying they have received zero employer AI support in the past year. Yet, workers haven't given up hope, with 69 percent believing AI can create more opportunities than it eliminates with the right approach- underscoring the opportunity for bipartisan policy in AI workforce readiness.Leaders Are Eager for Coordinated National SolutionsWhile there is a strong consensus for action on AI workforce challenges, questions remain around what should be done. Significantly, 88 percent of business leaders agree individual companies cannot solve for AI workforce readiness alone; a coordinated national response is required."Employers agree there needs to be guardrails in the AI transition but have concerns about solving it alone," said Dan Carol, managing director, Milken Institute Finance. "Business leaders are trapped in a cycle between short-term financial pressures and long-term workforce investment. Our team is developing policy responses for governments, businesses, and communities experiencing fiscal and technological change to accelerate coordinated solutions vital to long-term shared prosperity."Milken Institute workstreams continue to focus attention on AI workforce readiness, knowing that access, capital, and education in AI and beyond can create real pathways for all on their financial journey. In 2025, the Milken Institute released The Computing Imperative: Building America's Talent Engine in the Age of AI, challenging educators, funders, and industry leaders on what is needed to move beyond incremental reform and reimagine the nation's learning ecosystem in the age of AI. Later this spring, the Institute will also release additional research around free community college programs for upskilling and reskilling adult students.The full Listening Project report can be found at https://theharrispoll.com/the-listening-project and will be discussed on-stage at the Milken Institute Global Conference. The Harris Poll leaders John Gerzema and Libby Rodney will join the conference discussions. For the full program, visit www.globalconference.org. For updates on the event, follow Milken Institute on LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, Instagram, and Facebook using #MIGlobal.MethodologyThe report is part of The Milken Institute-Harris Poll Listening Project - now in its seventh year-helping business, government, and community leaders to better anticipate and respond to major geo-economic transformations in the United States and abroad. This year's research focuses on the AI workforce transition, going beyond the skills gap conversation to ask why AI urgency isn't translating into action. This year's study polled 2,001 American adults, including 1,280 American workers, and an additional 502 business leaders (vice president+ level, $2 billion+ revenue companies).+ revenue companies).About the Harris PollThe Harris Poll is a global public opinion, analytics, and market research consultancy that strives to reveal society's authentic values to inspire leaders to create a better tomorrow.

PR@stagwellglobal.comNon-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn addition to its reported results, Stagwell Inc. has included in this earnings release certain financial results that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines as "non-GAAP Financial Measures." Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period to period comparisons of the Company's results. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the following:(1) Organic Net Revenue: "Organic net revenue growth" and "Organic net revenue decline" reflects the year-over-year change in the Company's reported net revenue attributable to the Company's management of the entities it owns. We calculate organic net revenue growth (decline) by subtracting the net impact of acquisitions (divestitures) and the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations from the aggregate year-over-year increase or decrease in the Company's reported net revenue. The net impact of acquisitions (divestitures) reflects the year-over-year change in the Company's reported net revenue attributable to the impact of all individual entities that were acquired or divested in the current and prior year. We calculate impact of an acquisition as follows: (a) for an entity acquired during the current year, we present the entity's current period reported revenue as the impact of the acquisition in the current year; and (b) for an entity acquired in the prior year, we present an amount equal to the entity's current year net revenue for the same period during which we didn't own the entity in the prior year as the impact of the acquisition in the current year. We calculate impact of a divestiture as follows: (a) for a divestiture in the current year, we present the entity's prior year net revenue for the same period during which we no longer owned it in the current year as impact of the divestiture in the current year; and (b) for a divestiture in the prior year, we present the entity's prior year net revenue for the period during which we owned it in the prior year as impact of the divestiture in the current year. We calculate the impact of any acquisition or divestiture without adjusting for foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations reflects the year-over-year change in the Company's reported net revenue attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations for the portion of the reporting period in which we recognized revenue from a foreign entity in both the current year and the prior year. The impact is calculated as the difference between (1) reported prior period net revenue (converted to U.S. dollars at historical foreign currency exchange rates) and (2) prior period net revenue converted to U.S. dollars at current period foreign exchange rates.(2) Net New Business: Estimate of annualized revenue for new wins less annualized revenue for losses incurred in the period.(3) Adjusted EBITDA: defined as Net income (loss) attributable to Stagwell Inc. common shareholders excluding non-operating income or expense to achieve operating income (loss), plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred acquisition consideration adjustments, impairment and other losses, and other items. Other items primarily includes restructuring, certain system implementation, working capital administrative fees and acquisition-related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for our reportable segments is reconciled to Operating Income (Loss), as Net Income (Loss) is not a relevant reportable segment financial metric.(4) Adjusted Diluted EPS: is defined as (i) Net income (loss) attributable to Stagwell Inc. common shareholders, plus net income (loss) attributable to Class C shareholders, excluding the impact of amortization expense, impairment and other losses, stock-based compensation, deferred acquisition consideration adjustments, discrete tax items, and other items (as defined above), based on total consolidated amounts, then allocated to Stagwell Inc. common shareholders and Class C shareholders, based on their respective income allocation percentage using a normalized effective income tax rate divided by (ii) the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The diluted weighted average shares outstanding is calculated as (a) the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus (b) the shares of Class C Common Stock as if converted to shares of Class A Common Stock if not included because they were anti-dilutive.(5) Free Cash Flow: defined as consolidated net cash flow from operations less cash outflow from capital expenditures and capitalized software, excluding material nonrecurring capital purchases. Free Cash Flow Conversion is the percentage of adjusted EBITDA.Included in this earnings release are tables reconciling reported Stagwell Inc. results to arrive at certain of these non-GAAP financial measures.This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

From left to right: Ryan Linder, EVP, Global Chief Marketing Officer; Julie Levin, SVP, Strategic Growth, Marketing Services; Jabari Hearn, SVP, Strategic Growth, Marketing Services; Lynne Reilly, SVP, Strategic Growth, Media & Commerce.The new structure places dedicated senior leaders within Stagwell's operating segments, creating a more direct connection between the network's capabilities and the enterprise-level clients they serve. It follows a year of accelerating new business performance and reflects a broader strategy, led by Ryan Linder, EVP and Global Chief Marketing Officer, to build a growth engine that matches the scale and ambition of Stagwell's offering."We've reached a point where how we show up in the market matters as much as what we bring to it," said Linder. "This structure brings greater focus to our strengths and positions us to compete for larger, more complex opportunities. Jabari, Julie, and Lynne each bring the experience to translate that into growth."The appointments follow the recent hire of Nicole Souza as Chief Growth Officer, North America. Additional segment-based growth leaders spanning Digital Transformation, Communications & Advocacy, and The Marketing Cloud are expected later this year.Jabari Hearn - SVP, Strategic Growth, Marketing ServicesHearn's experience spans creative agencies, global brands, and technology platforms, including AKQA, Nike, Google, and Lyft, giving him unique perspective across the ecosystems Stagwell's clients operate in. He is known for translating creative and cultural insight into commercial narratives that resonate at the enterprise level.He will focus on sectors including CPG and retail, technology, sports and lifestyle, and mobility."The best growth conversations start with a point of view, not a capabilities deck," said Hearn.

That dual perspective is central to her approach: she builds partnerships by understanding what clients need, not just what an agency wants to sell.She will focus on financial services, automotive, telecom, entertainment, and sports."The opportunity is to meet clients where they are, with solutions that reflect how they actually buy and operate, not how agencies are traditionally structured," said Levin. "Stagwell's model makes that possible in a way most networks can't match."Lynne Reilly - SVP, Strategic Growth, Media & CommerceReilly brings deep experience leading media growth within complex, scaled organizations, with senior roles at GroupM North America, Wavemaker, and UM. She has a strong track record of driving enterprise opportunities by connecting media investment to business outcomes.Her focus will span Stagwell's full media, data, commerce, and performance offering."Clients are looking for partners who can connect media investment to real business outcomes," said Reilly. "Stagwell has the infrastructure and expertise to deliver that, this role is about bringing that full picture into every engagement."About StagwellStagwell is the global challenger network transforming marketing through AI.

The Marketing Cloud Expands Agent Cloud with Specialized Marketing Toolkit, Enabling SMBs and In-House Teams to Turn AI into a Scalable Marketing TeammateApril 28, 2026 9:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireThe specialized 10-agent toolkit is designed to turn strategy into execution instantly for resource-constrained teamsNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2026 / The Marketing Cloud, a Stagwell company (NASDAQ:STGW), today announced the launch of a new campaign for its flagship product, Agent Cloud, introducing a specialized marketing toolkit. Designed specifically for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and in-house agency teams, the toolkit provides an always-on AI powerhouse to help resource-constrained teams scale their marketing without adding headcount, stretching budgets, or compromising security.The new marketing toolkit specifically targets the 'execution gap'-the friction between developing a high-level strategy and bringing it to market. By combining the flexibility of the world's leading LLMs, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, with agents engineered by veteran marketers, Agent Cloud embeds automated marketing expertise directly into the workflow of SMBs and overextended in-house teams.Agent Cloud's marketing toolkit features a curated ecosystem of 10 specialized agents, combining proprietary 1st-party tools with exclusive 3rd-party marketing technology designed to handle the most critical marketing workflows. By integrating best-in-class intelligence from partners like Glystn, Limbik, and Parallel, the toolkit offers a level of domain-specific expertise and data access that is impossible to replicate with a generic enterprise AI license.The Agent Cloud marketing toolkit includes:Brand Audit: Analyzes brand personality and competitive positioning.Campaign Architect: Builds foundational messaging and positioning for new campaigns.Copy Feedback Pro: Provides critiques to ensure copy is sharp, logical, and grammatically correct.Glystn Social Intelligence: Tracks cultural sentiment and consumer trends.Image Generator: Generates high-quality, on-brand visual content for social platforms.Limbik Resonance Agent: Tests the resonance of any message, idea, or concept with your target audience.Parallel Deep Research: Conducts exhaustive market, competitor, and regulatory deep dives on a given topic.Search Discoverability: Audits organic visibility to improve rankings across traditional search and modern AI-driven answer engines.Social Media Post Wizard: Translates ideas and reports into platform-ready social copy.Video Concept & Creation Partner: Brainstorms concepts and generates structured prompts for video creation."We developed this toolkit because we understand the nuances of a brand audit, the friction of approval loops, and the absolute necessity of data security-these are the same agents our own team relies on every day to scale our output," added Amy Guenel, Chief Marketing Officer at The Marketing Cloud. "Lean teams and smaller organizations no longer have to sacrifice their creative vision because of limited bandwidth; we are giving them the same capacity to move from strategy to execution in record time."Agent Cloud has already seen massive success across Stagwell's global agency network. "Agent Cloud has fundamentally transformed our research and auditing workflows," said Marcel Goldstein, Managing Director, Corporate Affairs at Allison Worldwide. "For a typical media audit, we've seen completion times plummet from 16 hours to just one hour or less, allowing our team to spend that reclaimed time on high-level strategy to help our clients see around corners and be ahead of what's next.Unlike generic AI platforms, Agent Cloud offers total model agility, ensuring users are never locked into a single LLM. This allows teams to always use the best agent for the job-leveraging the unique strengths of different models for logic, creativity, or speed-while future-proofing their tech stack against a rapidly changing AI landscape. This flexibility is supported by enterprise-grade security, where data uploaded to the platform is never used to train LLMs, ensuring that brand secrets and proprietary data remain strictly confidential.Additionally, Agent Cloud offers seamless connectivity by integrating with the tools teams already use-including ClickUp, Slack, HubSpot, and more. By pulling data directly from these existing stacks, Agent Cloud ensures AI fits into your current workflow, leveraging your team's existing information rather than forcing you to build new processes from scratch.For more information on Agent Cloud and to book a demo, please visit www.themarketingcloud.com/agent-cloud-marketing-toolkit.About The Marketing CloudThe Marketing Cloud is a data-driven suite of AI-powered SaaS and service solutions built for the modern marketer.

Stagwell's Code and Theory Partners with Adobe to Engineer Enterprise Creativity at ScaleApril 21, 2026 12:01 PM
ACCESS NewswireCreative Intelligence System, the first solution from a three-year initiative, launches for financial services at Adobe Summit 2026.NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 21, 2026 / Customer intelligence bookends the creative process. Research shapes the brief. Analytics explain what happened. But between those two moments - when the message, the framing, and the visuals are actually being decided - the data goes dark. To end that costly pattern, Stagwell's (NASDAQ:STGW) Code and Theory today announced the Creative Intelligence System, the first solution from Code and Theory and Adobe's Partner Solutions Group, a three-year co-development effort. It closes the gap between what enterprises know about their customers and what they create for them, putting that intelligence to work before creative decisions are locked, not after they've shipped. Code and Theory, in collaboration with Adobe, is rolling out several industry-specific solutions that combine Adobe's tools, including Adobe Experience Platform, Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing and Adobe Experience Manager, with Code and Theory's creative and technology expertise, backed by Stagwell's network and infrastructure. The solutions will be in industries where Code and Theory has deep roots, such as financial services, B2B, sports, and media and entertainment.The first solution, the Creative Intelligence System with Experience Platform, is purpose-built for financial services - an industry that knows more about its customers than almost any other, yet loses access to that intelligence the moment creative development begins. It debuts at Adobe Summit this month.Financial services organizations know more about their customers than almost any other industry. That knowledge shapes who they target and when. But the moment creative is being developed - message, framing, tone, and visuals - the data goes dark. Once the work clears compliance, there's no going back. The creative is locked.The Creative Intelligence System leverages data from Adobe Real-Time CDP, powered by Experience Platform, to help shape what marketers say, not just who they reach. It generates synthetic AI personas directly from Real-Time CDP segment data, letting marketing teams test messaging, positioning and creative concepts before locking decisions. Unlike panel-based pre-testing, a built-in Research Agent explains what's working and why. Insights surface inside existing tools like GenStudio for Performance Marketing and Experience Manager, and as resonance signals correlate with real-world performance over time, every campaign makes the next one smarter.The Creative Intelligence System is powered by Stagwell's AI and data platform and Code and Theory's marketing operating system, The Machine, an always-on system that connects campaign data, asset libraries, creative production and performance results across the enterprise."The marketing industry has spent years building the infrastructure to understand customers, but too often, that intelligence never makes it into the work itself," said Mark Penn, Chairman and CEO of Stagwell. "The Creative Intelligence System changes that. In partnership with Adobe, we're embedding real-time customer insight directly into the creative process, so brands can move faster, create smarter, and ensure every piece of work reflects a deeper understanding of their audience."Michael Treff, CEO of Code and Theory, said: "Most enterprises test creative after the fact, when it's too late to change anything meaningful. The Creative Intelligence Solution flips that. We're putting intelligence at the moment of creation, not after it, so every dollar works harder from the start, not retroactively."Code and Theory has been honored as a top agency 15 times in the past two years, having been named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2026, Ad Age's A-List and Adweek's Most Innovative Agency of the Year.About StagwellStagwell is the global challenger network transforming marketing through AI.

ACCESS NewswireNew agentic capabilities connect Stagwell Media Platform with The Trade Desk, automating planning, activation, and optimization to deliver faster insights and measurable outcomes for clientsNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 21, 2026 / Stagwell (NASDAQ:STGW) and The Trade Desk today announced the expansion of their global partnership, with Stagwell becoming the first global marketing network to adopt Koa Agents, The Trade Desk's new alpha agentic AI capabilities for media planning, buying, optimization, and measurement across the open internet.Koa Agents introduce a simpler way to run advertising: instead of manually configuring campaigns step-by-step, marketers can describe their goals and direct AI-powered agents execute, optimize, and continuously improve campaigns in real time with visibility and control. Tasks that once required days of setup and analysis now happen automatically and adapt as conditions change, enabling faster decisions and stronger performance.As part of this first to market partnership, Stagwell will connect the AI capabilities within Stagwell Media Platform with Koa Agents through Open Agentic Kit, The Trade Desk's agentic integration framework. Through integration with Open Agentic Kit, StagwellMedia Platform and The Trade Desk bring their agentic capabilities together to create a unified system that powers custom, automated workflows seamlessly connecting planning, activation, measurement, and optimization.Automatically Move From Strategy to ExecutionThe plan for the first phase of alpha deployment is to integrate Koa Agents into Stagwell workflows to automate key stages of campaign planning and activation:Audience planning and activation: Traders describe the audience they want to reach, and Koa Agents handle the rest: helping identify high-value consumers, building and prioritizing segments using Stagwell's agentic targeting system, activating them across premium inventory and continuously improving performance in real time.Transparency and control: Koa Agents help identify and prioritize premium inventory using transparent, objective quality signals, including Sincera's ads to content ratio and ad refresh rate. Stagwell will leverage data from The Trade Desk to support deeper pricing transparency across the whole inventory supply chain. Combined with Stagwell Curate, this enables Stagwell to create bespoke inventory packages that improve both brand impact and conversion outcomes and see in-flight margin within live campaigns.Stagwell will also be among the first to adopt The Trade Desk's conversational user experience, enabling traders to ask why campaigns are under-pacing or performing, identify drivers of results, and receive clear, actionable recommendations instantly.Stagwell expects to make these Koa Agent capabilities available to select clients in closed beta later this summer.Innovation Agenda: End-to-End Campaign IntelligenceBeyond initial capabilities, Stagwell intends to collaborate with The Trade Desk on its broader agentic roadmap, which will extend agentic capabilities across the full campaign lifecycle. This will include automated campaign setup, real-time troubleshooting and optimization, and proactive insights and performance recommendations.This partnership expansion builds years of collaboration, including Stagwell's adoption of Unified ID 2.0 (UID2), a privacy-conscious, open identity framework. Combined with Koa Agents, UID2 enables more accurate audience definition, seamless cross-channel activation, and clearer measurement to connect strategy directly to execution and outcomes.Executive Perspectives"Advertising is becoming more complex-but how we interact with it should become simpler," said Aravind Chandrasekharan, SVP of Engineering. "Koa Agents allow marketers to focus on outcomes while the system handles execution with precision and visibility. Our partnership with Stagwell reflects a shared commitment to open, interoperable technology that gives advertisers more control.""Koa Agents represent a meaningful step forward for our clients," said Slavi Samardzija, Global Chair of Media & Commerce, Stagwell.

Competing for Team GB, Sky became Britain's youngest ever summer Olympian at age 13, breaking records.

On the court, he stands out for his versatility, elite defensive instincts, and high basketball IQ. In his rookie season, he became the youngest player in NBA history to score 50+ points. Cooper is the only teenager in the NBA to have scored 51 points (surpassing his own record of 49 points) while also producing consecutive 30-point double-doubles. Even with all these individual accolades, his competitive motor and unselfish play style make him a natural leader.

Lindsey won the gold medal in downhill at the 2010 Winter Olympics, the first one for an American woman.

HarrisX and 2WAY Launch "Capital Intel," a First-of-its-Kind Interactive Polling ProgramMarch 30, 2026 12:45 PM
ACCESS NewswireNew partnership combines HarrisX industry-leading polling, expert analysis, and real-time audience participation powered by 2WAY to redefine how polling is delivered and understoodNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 30, 2026 / 2WAY, the interactive live video platform devoted to unique conversations, unbiased discourse, open debate, authentic community, and HarrisX, one of the nation's most accurate pollsters and one of the most innovative and widely cited public opinion research firms, today announced a strategic partnership to launch "Capital Intel," a first-of-its-kind polling-driven content franchise designed to democratize access to data and reshape how audiences engage with public opinion.The programs will be hosted by Mark Penn, Chairman and CEO of Stagwell, serving as principal analyst, alongside Mark Halperin, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of 2WAY, who will serve as host and moderator. Together, they bring decades of experience at the intersection of polling, politics, media, and public discourse to this new format. It will also feature leading pollsters and experts from HarrisX and across public life."Capital Intel" will employ original overnight polling conducted specifically for the program by HarrisX. For the first time, audience members will be able to ask questions about poll results, the polling process, and methodology, getting answers from experts who will demystify every element."Polling is key to allowing audiences to understand the nuances within our contemporary politics, yet it remains largely inaccessible, mistrusted, or misunderstood by everyday audiences," said Mark Penn, Chairman and CEO of Stagwell. "What ‘Capital Intel' introduces is a new model-combining sophisticated, high-frequency polling data with a modern, interactive format, making these insights more transparent and actionable than ever before."The collaboration brings together HarrisX's proprietary polling and analytics, Mark Penn's decades of experience as one of the most influential pollsters in modern politics, and 2WAY's interactive video platform and production capabilities, creating one of the most advanced, rapid-results, and participatory polling show formats ever produced."Polling has long shaped how leaders understand the world and the decisions they make, but too often those insights exist behind closed doors or are slow to translate into clear and high-quality public information," said Dritan Nesho, CEO of HarrisX. "This partnership delivers sharper intelligence grounded in immediate, rigorous data that will help viewers understand not just what voters and decision-makers think, but also what it means and what comes next. The partnership also creates a new medium and advertising vehicle in Washington for policy shapers and decision-makers by making polling more actionable, trusted, and impactful in how decisions get made.""This is about opening up the black box of polling," said Mark Halperin, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of 2WAY. "For the first time, audiences won't just hear the results, they'll be part of the conversation, asking questions and sharing their live reactions to data and forming a community that shapes the dialogue around it."The "Capital Intel" franchise will consist of three core programming pillars:Daily Capital Intel: Short-form, recurring segments integrated into 2WAY flagship programming, including "The Morning Meeting" and "2WAY Tonight," powered by HarrisX overnight polling and airing at least twice per weekMonthly Capital Intel: A 30-45 minute flagship broadcast anchored by Penn and Halperin, delivering in-depth analysis of the latest polling and major trends shaping politics, policy, and public opinionMonthly Private Deep-Dive Briefings: Invite-only, high-production virtual sessions for journalists, business leaders, and policymakers, offering deeper insights and forward-looking analysisTogether, these formats create a continuous and virtuous feedback loop between data, expert interpretation, and audience engagement, transforming polling from a static snapshot into a dynamic, participatory experience.HarrisX will provide the underlying polling data and analytics, including its widely followed national surveys and overnight polling capabilities, while 2WAY will power production, distribution, and real-time audience interaction through its platform.The launch of "Capital Intel" marks the first time a dedicated polling franchise has been built specifically for an interactive media environment, setting a new standard for how polling can inform, engage, and involve audiences in the national conversation.Programming details and premiere dates will be announced in the coming weeks.# # #ABOUT HARRISXHarrisX, a Stagwell company, is a strategic research and advisory firm that delivers clear, data-driven answers to complex and pressing questions faced by corporate, political and government clients.

Fast Company Names Code and Theory One of the World's Most Innovative Companies for Second Consecutive YearMarch 24, 2026 10:25 AM
ACCESS NewswireStagwell's digital transformation network was recognized in the Advertising and Marketing category for building the infrastructure that turns AI ambition into business transformation.NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 24, 2026 / Code and Theory, the digital transformation network within Stagwell (NASDAQ:STGW), has been named to Fast Company's prestigious list of the World's Most Innovative Companies for 2026, the second consecutive year the company has earned the distinction. Code and Theory was recognized in the Advertising and Marketing category alongside Google, Nvidia, Adidas and Walmart. The recognition arrives at a decisive moment. AI has moved from conversation to infrastructure, and the gap between companies that are genuinely restructuring around it and those still piloting around the edges is becoming visible. Code and Theory has spent the past year not just advising clients on AI strategy, but building the systems that make AI-driven marketing and experience work at scale.Central to that work is The Machine, the industry's first agentic marketing operating system, built by Code and Theory in conjunction with Stagwell. The Machine connects people, data and tools to drive better outcomes. What differentiates The Machine is that it works in our clients' tools and on top of their stack to maximize adoption and interoperability. It enables organizations to move at AI speed without surrendering the brand judgment and human instinct that make experiences worth having.Over the past year, some of the most complex organizations in the world have looked to Code and Theory, leveraging its differentiated balance of 50% engineers and 50% creatives to solve some of the industry's toughest challenges, including:TIME to reimagine its digital flagship and reignite a 100+ year-old media brand.Amazon to inspire and convert millions of small businesses through a global Amazon Ads campaign.Henry Schein to reinvent healthcare commerce at global scale.Microsoft to reimagine how it engages with developers and earns their trust.Stanley Black & Decker to lead a global digital transformation across 30+ brands and 55+ markets.NFL to build a connected digital ecosystem across broadcast, social, web, app and stadium experiences.This recognition extends a historic run of industry validation. In the past two years alone, Code and Theory has received 15 top honors from Adweek, Ad Age, the ANA, Campaign, Digiday, The Drum and the Shorty Awards, including Adweek's inaugural Innovation Agency of the Year and taking No. 5 spot on Ad Age's 2026 A-List.Dan Gardner, Co-Founder of Code and Theory, said: "Every meaningful shift in our industry has happened at the intersection of creativity and technology. That's where we've always operated. What's different now is the pace and the stakes. AI isn't a trend. It's a structural change. Our advantage is not that we're reacting to it, but that we're built for it. This recognition reflects a team that knows how to turn change into practical, measurable outcomes."Michael Treff, CEO of Code and Theory, said: "A lot of companies are talking about AI, but very few are restructuring how they actually work. Code and Theory is rebuilding businesses' operating systems so they can move at AI speed without losing the human instincts that create real connection, both for themselves and their clients."Brendan Vaughan, Fast Company Editor-in-Chief, says: "Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is about spotlighting organizations that don't just adapt to change - they drive it. The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value. They are setting the pace for their industries and offering a blueprint for what sustained innovation can achieve."About The Code and Theory NetworkThe Code and Theory Network is the only digital transformation network with a balance of 50% creative and 50% engineers.

PR@stagwellglobal.comNon-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn addition to its reported results, Stagwell Inc. has included in this earnings release certain financial results that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines as "non-GAAP Financial Measures." Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period to period comparisons of the Company's results. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the following:(1) Organic Net Revenue: "Organic net revenue growth" and "Organic net revenue decline" reflects the year-over-year change in the Company's reported net revenue attributable to the Company's management of the entities it owns. We calculate organic net revenue growth (decline) by subtracting the net impact of acquisitions (divestitures) and the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations from the aggregate year-over-year increase or decrease in the Company's reported net revenue. The net impact of acquisitions (divestitures) reflects the year-over-year change in the Company's reported net revenue attributable to the impact of all individual entities that were acquired or divested in the current and prior year. We calculate impact of an acquisition as follows: (a) for an entity acquired during the current year, we present the entity's current period reported revenue as the impact of the acquisition in the current year; and (b) for an entity acquired in the prior year, we present an amount equal to the entity's current year net revenue for the same period during which we didn't own the entity in the prior year as the impact of the acquisition in the current year. We calculate impact of a divestiture as follows: (a) for a divestiture in the current year, we present the entity's prior year net revenue for the same period during which we no longer owned it in the current year as impact of the divestiture in the current year; and (b) for a divestiture in the prior year, we present the entity's prior year net revenue for the period during which we owned it in the prior year as impact of the divestiture in the current year. We calculate the impact of any acquisition or divestiture without adjusting for foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations reflects the year-over-year change in the Company's reported net revenue attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations for the portion of the reporting period in which we recognized revenue from a foreign entity in both the current year and the prior year. The impact is calculated as the difference between (1) reported prior period net revenue (converted to U.S. dollars at historical foreign currency exchange rates) and (2) prior period net revenue converted to U.S. dollars at current period foreign exchange rates.(2) Net New Business: Estimate of annualized revenue for new wins less annualized revenue for losses incurred in the period.(3) Adjusted EBITDA: defined as Net income (loss) attributable to Stagwell Inc. common shareholders excluding non-operating income or expense to achieve operating income (loss), plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred acquisition consideration adjustments, impairment and other losses, and other items. Other items primarily includes restructuring, certain system implementation, working capital administrative fees and acquisition-related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for our reportable segments is reconciled to Operating Income (Loss), as Net Income (Loss) is not a relevant reportable segment financial metric.(4) Adjusted Diluted EPS" is defined as (i) Net income (loss) attributable to Stagwell Inc. common shareholders, plus net income (loss) attributable to Class C shareholders, excluding the impact of amortization expense, impairment and other losses, stock-based compensation, deferred acquisition consideration adjustments, discrete tax items, and other items (as defined above), based on total consolidated amounts, then allocated to Stagwell Inc. common shareholders and Class C shareholders, based on their respective income allocation percentage using a normalized effective income tax rate divided by (ii) the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The diluted weighted average shares outstanding is calculated as (a) the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus (b) the shares of Class C Common Stock as if converted to shares of Class A Common Stock if not included because they were anti-dilutive.(5) Free Cash Flow: defined as Net cash provided from operations less normalized capital expenditures and capitalized software. Free Cash Flow Conversion is the percentage of adjusted EBITDA.Included in this earnings release are tables reconciling reported Stagwell Inc. results to arrive at certain of these non-GAAP financial measures.This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Stagwell Launches Stagwell Search+: The Industry's First Agentic Platform To Win AI SearchMarch 2, 2026 8:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireNew media solution enables brands to win discoverability, visibility, positive sentiment, and outcomes across major AI systemsNEW 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.For more information, visit: https://stagwellsearchplus.assemblyglobal.com/About StagwellStagwell is the global challenger network transforming marketing through AI.

The Numbers are Clear: Latest Iteration of Stagwell's News Advertising Study Shows Germans Love Their NewsFebruary 18, 2026 5:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireStagwell, Axel Springer, Teads and The Trade Desk partner on German News Advertising Study, drawing insights from over 11,000 respondentsStudy finds the proportion of ‘news junkies' in Germany is highest of all the surveyed marketsBERLIN, GERMANY / ACCESS Newswire / February 18, 2026 / Stagwell, the global challenger network transforming marketing through AI, released the latest installment of its News Advertising Study in partnership with Axel Springer, Teads and The Trade Desk.The survey, fielded among 11,282 adults in Germany, builds on Stagwell's prior?News Advertising studies?conducted in Asia Pacific, Canada, the U.S. and UK. This regional study further reinforces it is safe for brands to advertise adjacent to quality news content agnostic of the topic."The Future of News research for the German market illustrates how important it is for brands to advertise in quality news publications. Germany has a?10-percentage point?higher share of news enthusiasts than other markets, and it is a missed opportunity for brands not to invest in that high value audience due to misunderstood brand safety concerns," said James Townsend, CEO of Stagwell EMEA.Key Findings Include:81% of German adults are active news readers.35% of German adults are 'news junkies,' checking the news an average of 7.2 times per day and reading an average of 10.3 news articles per day (vs. 25% in the UK and USA, where news junkies check news 4.4 times per day and read an average of 6.2 news articles per day).The proportion of ‘exclusive news junkies' in Germany (18%) is by far the highest of all the surveyed markets including Asia Pacific (9%), Canada (11%), the U.S. (11%) and UK (10%).German adults are more likely to follow news closely (35%) than they are sports (25%) and entertainment (15%).Among German consumers, average purchase intent is virtually identical regardless of context: 66% next to political or crime coverage versus 67% next to sports and entertainment. The difference is there is no penalty for advertising alongside hard news.There are no brand safety issues among key demographic groups for advertisers, including Gen Z, Millennials, high earners and university-educated Germans."Brands that avoid news aren't protecting themselves. They're making themselves invisible. 81% of Germans actively and regularly consume news, and more than one third do so very intensively," said Christoph Eck-Schmidt, CCO & CMO of Axel Springer.The findings were released at the annual Media Leaders event in Berlin, hosted by W&V and Axel Springer. Leaders from Axel Springer, The Trade Desk, Teads, Deutsche Telekom AG and Stagwell's media and data intelligence platform, UNICEPTA discussed the importance of advertising in news in front of 50 of the regions' industry leading CEOs and CMOs."When brands step away from news, they unintentionally fuel a vicious cycle that weakens journalism and public trust," said Stephanie Himoff, Chief Commercial Supply Officer, Teads. "The Stagwell research findings show the opposite is also true: advertising alongside quality news supports independent reporting, reaches highly engaged audiences, and delivers strong brand outcomes.""As the digital advertising landscape evolves, the evidence is undeniable: where a brand appears is just as crucial to campaign success as precise targeting. Stagwell's Future of News study, supported by The Trade Desk, shows clearly that advertising in premium news environments is both brand-safe and highly effective across every topic, from politics to entertainment and business," said Jan Vorndamm, Senior Director of Inventory Partnerships, The Trade Desk. "By shifting investment toward quality journalism, brands can drive business results while contributing to a healthy and sustainable media ecosystem."To learn more about the Future of News and explore the research, visit:?https://www.stagwellglobal.com/future-of-news/?and reach out to?futureofnews@stagwellglobal.com?with any questions.About Stagwell
