NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), the challenger network built to transform marketing, announced several of its global creative, marketing, and technology agencies are up for consideration in the SXSW 2024 Panel Picker Community Voting period – which accounts for 30% of the programming process.
