Unifying operations across more than 500 employees in Detroit, Minneapolis and Chicago, the partnership is built on a foundation of modern creativity and is grounded in a genuine understanding of the people and places that drive American business. Geographically and fundamentally, DonerColle Partners is poised to more effectively and authentically relate to and embrace the sensibilities of everyday Americans who are often overlooked or disregarded by coastal agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese agencies have a proven ability to combine mainstream marketing with modern techniques and strong client relationships that drive real results,\u201d Stagwell chairman and CEO Mark Penn said. \u201cTogether, we\u2019re creating a combined offering that honors that legacy while embracing the future, leveraging AI, modern marketing and an informed perspective of the communities and consumers that shape America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doner and Colle McVoy will maintain their unique identities and client relationships under DonerColle Partners. Structured as a strategic alliance rather than a merger, the arrangement preserves the specialized expertise and culture that have made each successful while enabling deeper collaboration, broadened creative capabilities, scaled media offerings and state-of-the-art production studios. The enhanced offering will be led by Jessica Henrichs as CEO and David DeMuth as executive chairman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Midwest isn\u2019t just where we\u2019re based; it\u2019s who we are. There is a sense of pride and a work ethic that shows up with purpose every day,\u201d said DeMuth. \u201cIt\u2019s a place where people care more about doing the right thing than getting credit for it. That spirit drives how we show up for each other, for our clients and for the brands we help build.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40611\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40611\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-40611 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adpulp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donor-Colle-leadership-1024x805.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adpulp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donor-Colle-leadership-1024x805.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adpulp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donor-Colle-leadership-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adpulp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donor-Colle-leadership-768x604.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adpulp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donor-Colle-leadership-1536x1208.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adpulp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donor-Colle-leadership.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">David DeMuth and Jessica Henrichs of DonorColle Partners<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Doner is known for its strategic acumen, award-winning work and integrated production studios across retail, CPG, automotive, consumer services, technology and health care brands, and is a recent two-time \u201cA-List\u201d winner.
