Stagwell's APAC leadership summit in Bangkok from March 5-7, 2025: a platform for bringing together the network’s regional leaders and reinforcing the network’s strategic vision

The acquisition of ADK GLOBAL significantly strengthens Stagwell's APAC presence, expanding Stagwell's APAC footprint to over 2,000 team members across 14 countries, and is set to enhance Stagwell's AI-powered digital marketing capabilities.

Building on this momentum, Stagwell hosted its biennial APAC leadership summit in Bangkok from March 5-7, 2025: a platform for bringing together the network's regional leaders and reinforcing the network's strategic vision. Together with Stagwell's agencies and affiliates, senior leaders from both ADK and Stagwell attended the summit, engaging in high-level discussions on integration, collaboration, and the role of APAC in global success.

Stagwell also leveraged the APAC leadership summit to relaunch its Global Affiliate Program, which bolsters full-service and specialty digital solutions for clients worldwide.

"We've spent the past year expanding Stagwell across APAC, and now have 2,500 people in the region," said Stagwell Chairman and CEO Mark Penn at the summit. "The most important thing for me in founding Stagwell was a collaborative culture where agencies work together while still maintaining their unique character. We're now right-sized to win bigger and better."
