Full-funnel agency scaling programmatic media and performance marketing
Assembly is a 3,000+ person omnichannel agency building brand and performance campaigns for enterprise clients. The tech stack reveals a media-buying and analytics operation: programmatic platforms (DV360, Trade Desk), ad networks (Meta, TikTok, Google Ads), measurement (Google Analytics 4, BigQuery, Snowflake), and creative tools (Adobe suite). Notably, the hiring profile skews heavily toward marketing roles (68% of open positions) at senior/director levels, paired with active GA4 migration and a backlog of integration work—signaling an agency wrestling with legacy client complexity while pushing clients toward modern omnichannel attribution.
Notable leadership hires: Planning Director, Paid Social Director, Account Director, Director Experience Activation, Paid Social Account Director
Assembly operates as a full-funnel creative and media agency, positioned within the Stagwell network. The firm combines strategic planning (Brand Performance Planning as a core product), media buying (programmatic, paid social, search), creative production, and analytics to serve large, performance-driven brands. With 44 offices globally and hiring across nine countries, the org is structured around account teams, media specialists, and a data/analytics backbone. Active projects span GA4 implementation, programmatic campaign setup, DPA retail activation, and cross-channel campaign optimization—reflecting both client modernization work and internal tooling investments. Pain points cluster around integrating legacy media channels with digital-first approaches and scaling paid operations without proportional headcount growth.
Programmatic platforms (DV360, The Trade Desk), ad networks (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, Snapchat), analytics (Google Analytics, BigQuery, Snowflake), creative tools (Adobe Creative Suite), and data (PySpark, Databricks). Currently adopting Google Analytics 4 and Monday.com.
