Stagwell launches AI-powered Media OS 'The Media Machine'
Stagwell has launched The Media Machine, a media-focused extension of its operating system The Machine. Built as an AI-powered, interoperable media operating layer, The Media Machine aims to streamline end-to-end media workflows — from audience-first planning through activation — by enabling agentic buying and connected agent-to-agent communication across Stagwell’s media stack. The system is designed to integrate with major sell-side/self-serve ecosystems (Google GMP, Meta, Microsoft/LinkedIn, TikTok, The Trade Desk), collaborate with third-party tools (Figma, Slack, Teams, Adobe) and leverage an ID graph and audience data partnership with Palantir. Gale and Assembly are leading development and rollout, with several clients in alpha testing.
Revolutionizing AdTech: Innovid Launches AI-Driven Orchestration Layer
AdExchanger reports that Innovid has unveiled Innovid Orchestrator, an open orchestration layer designed to connect data and technology across the advertising process. The launch aims to break down fragmentation and silos as agencies and brands expand AI usage, delivering greater simplicity, governance, and interoperability. Innovid is expanding its set of AI agents to automate basic advertising activities, including ad creation, delivery, measurement, and optimization. Bayer’s Gary Guarnaccia stressed that marketers should not face added complexity or closed systems, underscoring the importance of interoperable tools. Grant Parker, president of the Mediaocean-owned Innovid platform, described the orchestration layer as a Lego baseplate that enables advertisers to build and link agents while deciding how they interact with each other and with external systems. Advertisers can embed brand guidelines and legal restrictions into the process, and they may use Innovid’s agents or their own, with the overarching aim of faster campaign execution and reduced human oversight.
