About Havas Media Group

Havas Media Group is part of the sixth largest advertising network in the world, Havas Group, which is owned by French mass media holding company, Vivendi. We are headquartered out of St Pancras, London, and along with offices in Leeds, Manchester and Edinburgh, we operate globally. Our CEO is Patrick (‘Paddy’) Affleck. Our overarching mission is to make a meaningful difference to the brands, businesses, and lives of the people we work with. Our solution is simple: we identify and create meaningful media experiences to deliver meaningful growth for our clients. In the last two years, we’ve undergone a transformation that’s seen us bind together nine agencies into three core agency brands and propositions:

Havas Media - through which we deliver meaningful outcomes through meaningful media

Havas Market - through which we help clients build meaningful retail experiences

Havas Entertainment - through which we help clients create meaningful moments in culture

In 2022, we’ve strengthened group-wide capabilities and expertise to match clients’ needs to unlock emerging growth opportunities in the ‘new economy’. Our acquisitions of leading agencies Search Laboratory, additive+ and Expert Edge are helping turbocharge our capabilities in search, DCO and ecommerce – with more to come. We also launched a dedicated B2B division, Havas Business, to help clients seize on the huge opportunity of B2B marketing for clients.

We successfully won 16 new clients and retained a further 5, including BBC, Matalan, British Red Cross, Bumble, Bethesda and Dr Marten. We have also recently won a number of industry awards, Beer and Pub Association IPA Effectiveness Silver, BBC Outdoor Media awards Brand Building (Gold), Domino’s Outdoor Media awards Cross Format (Gold), Maersk Grand Prix for Effectiveness with WARC and Kia, Best Use of Search in the UK Search awards. We are also extremely proud of our Campaign’s Sustainability Agency Best Practice win and we are soon to be B Corp certified. Above are some of the reasons why we’re on Campaign’s ‘
