Stagwell Launches Stagwell Search+: The Industry's First Agentic Platform To
Win AI Search

New media solution enables brands to win discoverability, visibility, positive
sentiment, and outcomes across major AI systems

NEW YORK, NY AND LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire
(https://www.accessnewswire.com/)  / 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 (https://pr.report/j5vm) , The
Machine (https://pr.report/j5vo)  and Agent Cloud (https://pr.report/j5vq) .
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.
