Mediaocean Expands Prisma Growth in MENA with Assembly

NEW YORK - Sept. 22, 2026 - Mediaocean's Prisma, the trusted omnichannel platform for global media investment, today announced its growth in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, launching with global omnichannel media agency Assembly, part of the Stagwell network and leader in brand performance, across the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia. This milestone builds on the companies' longstanding partnership in North America and Europe, extending Prisma's global footprint to a market that is seeing rapid growth in digital and cross-channel media investment.

Assembly's MENA teams will use Prisma to manage media execution and financial operations within a single connected platform, bringing greater efficiency, visibility, and control across campaigns and media investments. This expansion reinforces Prisma's role as a foundational platform for media investment-connecting planning, execution, and financial workflows across channels, teams, and markets. By standardizing workflows globally, Prisma helps agencies reduce complexity, improve collaboration, and drive stronger performance.

"As our clients continue to scale across markets, having consistent, connected workflows is critical to delivering efficiency and performance," said Keisha Brescia, Global Chief Transformation Officer, Assembly. "Expanding our use of Prisma into MENA enables our teams to operate with greater speed, transparency, and alignment, while maintaining the global standards our clients expect."

"Growth at this level requires infrastructure that can keep up," said Ravi Rao, MENA CEO, Assembly. "Our clients are scaling across regions and channels simultaneously. Platforms like Prisma give our teams the consistency and control needed to build better experiences and drive performance, no matter the market."

"As we continue to expand with agency partners around the world, unified and scalable workflows have become foundational to modern media operations" said Stephanie Watson, Chief Operating Officer, Prisma. "Expanding Prisma into MENA with Assembly reflects both the strength of our partnership and the critical role connected systems play in helping agencies operate with greater speed, control, and consistency across every market."
