Additionally, MONO has appointed Jeffrey Gorder as CEO to lead its growth, modernization and AI-powered service expansion.
1. Creative Intelligence System Launch
Stagwell’s Code and Theory partnered with Adobe to introduce the Creative Intelligence System, the first output of a three-year co-development initiative.

Gorder returns after over a decade leading MONO’s San Francisco office and co-founding consultancy Citizen Inside, and will spearhead the agency’s growth, modernization and integration of AI-driven capabilities.
3. Strategic Outlook
These moves deepen Stagwell’s AI-infused marketing ecosystem and strengthen its leadership bench, positioning the network to capture high-value mandates in financial services and beyond as brands seek data-driven creative solutions.
