"In a digital economy, every screen is a canvas, every experience a data collection point, and every platform a new place for brand interaction. Brands deserve a digital-first alternative marketing network that drives business growth by connecting culture-moving creativity with leading-edge technology," said Stagwell Chairman and CEO Mark Penn. "We strongly believe the steps we have taken to align Stagwell's operations to support this transformation created a lasting platform for growth and shareholder value."

Stagwell has had breakthrough performance since the combination with MDC Partners Inc., forming Stagwell Inc. in August 2021.  This includes $2 billion in combined pro forma revenue for 2021. Penn's annual CEO letter discusses Stagwell's 2021 financial performance in the context of five transformative approaches to global marketing services delivery:

• Digital transformation and innovation, helping clients reposition their enterprises for growth in the new digital economy. Innovation shops Code and Theory, GALE, Instrument, and YML spotlight path-breaking work for Amazon Ads, MilkPEP, Google TV, Polestar and more within the report.
• Scaling creative performance for modern brands, bringing world-class creativity and modern media together to drive powerful campaign results. Work from 72andSunny for Tinder/Match Group; Anomaly for Expedia; Assembly for Nike; Doner for CUE Health; Forsman & Bodenfors for Polestar; and more illustrate ways Stagwell unleashes creative effectiveness for the modern marketer.
• Building integrated marketing solutions that align the right mix of core marketing capabilities and specialist expertise for ever-more-complex clients, exemplified in Sloane & Co., KWT Global, TEAM Enterprises, and GALE's collaborative marketing efforts supporting Hertz's vision for the future of electric vehicles.
• Agile global expansion, fueled by Stagwell's Affiliate Program spanning 50+ partners across Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Eastern Europe, and investments in market leaders Instrument and Goodstuff.
