"We launched the network a year ago in response to the needs of the modern marketer, to be omnichannel, data and tech-enabled, and global," said James Townsend, global CEO of Assembly and the Brand Performance Network. "Today, we're evolving again to reflect the drive we've seen from blue-chip global brands rightly demanding truly connected creative, media, and commerce solutions to unlock transformation and growth for their businesses. This will offer our people more opportunity and our clients even more value."

"Their compelling and impactful work perfectly complements strategic media execution and personifies our focus on brand performance." 

All agencies within the network will continue to operate under their individual brands, consistent with Stagwell's fundamental belief in collaboration between complementary groups over agency consolidation.
