NEW YORK, June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), the challenger network built to transform marketing, celebrates its agencies 72andSunny, Assembly, and Forsman & Bodenfors, which took home top honors at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the largest gathering in the creative marketing community.
