Stagwell brings together multidisciplinary
agencies under one roof to prioritize connected solutions for
clients
LONDON, April 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), the
challenger network built to transform marketing, today celebrates
the grand opening of its EMEA headquarters situated in London's Blue Fin Building in the vibrant
South Bank neighborhood.
This milestone closely follows the company's FY 2023 earnings
report, which saw Stagwell's EMEA agencies leading growth, with a
17% year-over-year net revenue increase.
The day will be marked by an office-wide activation where agency
teams will gather to celebrate the future and foster relationships
in alignment with the company's focus on interconnected
solutions.
"The collective strength of our 20 multidisciplinary European
agencies – brought together at the Blue Fin building – underscores
Stagwell's investment in European growth. With award-winning
agencies like Assembly, Goodstuff, Allison, Forsman &
Bodenfors, KWT Global and many more coming together under one
roof, we can better leverage our network's assets to build advanced
solutions for clients," said Mark
Penn, Chairman and CEO of Stagwell.
Stagwell has already made two European acquisitions in Q1 2024.
First Sidekick, an award-winning collective of specialist agencies
focused on experiential, digital storytelling, and branded content,
joined marketing and communications consultancy, Allison. Shortly
after, Stagwell announced the acquisition of WHAT'S NEXT PARTNERS
(WNP), a French digital brand and marketing consultancy
specializing in data-powered strategies, integrated communications,
and creative content, which joined the Anomaly Alliance.
"We're seeing a growing cohort of marketing leaders seeking an
alternative to the legacy holding companies. Continued growth in
our creative and media portfolios, and our deep commitment to
scaling our research, digital transformation and technology
businesses will drive connected solutions across the whole region.
This gives us confidence that we can help clients transform and win
on an ongoing basis," said James
Townsend, CEO of Stagwell EMEA.
In recent months, Assembly, Stagwell's largest agency operating
in Europe, continued to shore up
its operations across the region, making several senior personnel
announcements, including the elevation of James Appleby to Managing Director, UK, and
Kashif Dalvi to Head of Strategy,
along with the appointment of James
Wilde as Head of Growth & Marketing and Lizzy Herbertson as Commercial Director in
Europe. The media company also
added two managing partners in Europe: Alex
Boniface, and Bridget
Hopkins.
Additionally, in late March, Forsman & Bodenfors, the global
creative collective, announced it would integrate Crispin Porter +
Bogusky's UK agency, CPB London, into its business to become a
scaled offering in the market.
Agencies operating throughout the region include 72andSunny,
Anomaly, Allison, Assembly, Brand New Galaxy, Code and Theory,
Forsman & Bodenfors, Goodstuff, HarrisX, Hunter, Ink, KWT
Global, Locaria, National Research Group, Sidekick, Stagwell
