Agency & Consultancy Market: Agentic AI Prioritizes Precision Over Buying More Media
In an interview published by VideoWeek on July 2, 2026, Slavi Samardzija, Global Chair of Media & Commerce at Stagwell, argues that agentic AI is reshaping how agencies plan, buy, activate and optimise media — shifting the focus from scale to speed, precision and creative combination. Samardzija outlines Stagwell’s new agentic media operating system, The Media Machine, and says success will favour organisations that can sense faster and decide smarter. The interview was filmed at Sport Beach in Cannes and reported by Dan Meier for VideoWeek.
Stagwell's announcement signals agency-level adoption of agentic AI and a shift toward precision media planning; relevant to agencies, media planners and creative ops but not a platform-level or regulatory change.
