 in accordance with ASC 606, and accordingly, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.The Stagwell network provides an extensive range of services to our clients, offering a variety of marketing and communication capabilities including strategy, creative and production for advertising campaigns across a variety of platforms (digital, social media, television broadcast, and print), public relations services including strategy, editorial, crisis support or issues management, online fundraising, media training, influencer engagement and events management, and subscription-based software-as-a-service and data-as-a service models. We also provide media-based solutions to drive brand performance, including buying and planning across a range of platforms (out-of-home, paid search, social media, lead generation, programmatic, television broadcast), experiential marketing and application/website design and development.The primary source of the Company’s revenue is from Brand arrangements in the form of fees for services performed, commissions, and from performance incentives or bonuses, depending on the terms of the client contract.

In these instances, the Company does not consider the underlying activities separate or distinct performance obligations because its services are highly interrelated, and the integration of the various components is essential to the overall promise to the Company’s customer. Typically, these services are public relations, and application/website design and development. In other instances, the Company is engaged to provide marketing services, such online fundraising and brand performance media solutions, that include a variety
