Stagwell (STGW) Announces Investment in RealClearPolitics, Taking a 35% Ownership Position
Stagwell deepens its commitment to high-quality owned media reflecting the network's confidence in the commercial power of journalism and news
NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On stage today at Stagwell's (NASDAQ: STGW) NewsFronts, the inaugural upfront dedicated to exploring the opportunities for brands to invest in the next chapter of news media, CEO and Chairman Mark Penn will announce the network now owns 35% of Real Clear Holdings LLC, publisher of the highly-respected RCP Poll Averages, news publication RealClearPolitics, and 12 other news and analysis sites. Stagwell's investments in platforms like RealClear are part of the network's expanding interest in owned media platforms, including ReachTV. This investment also reinforces Stagwell's belief that news media is both undervalued and a strong business opportunity for brands, a founding principle behind Stagwell's Future of News initiative.
Stagwell's clients will benefit from RealClear's audience, op-ed aggregation and polling capabilities. This investment also continues Stagwell's longstanding work with news publications through its agencies like Code and Theory, which has fueled digital innovation for nearly 200 newsrooms including Bustle Digital Group, The Minnesota Star Tribune, Time, Thomson Reuters and Vogue.
"This investment reinforces our conviction that quality news has the power to drive meaningful business results. Championing quality news and opinion media isn't just good for us; it's good for every business," shared Stagwell Chairman and CEO Mark Penn.
John McIntyre, co-founder and CEO of Real Clear Holdings LLC commented: "As RealClear has collaborated with Stagwell, I am continuously impressed by its breadth, integrity, and focus on quality. Expanding our partnership will deliver strong benefits for our respective audiences and stakeholders. We are excited for the next phase of our growth."
