Talent

We believe that talent is Havas’ most valuable asset in our mission to create impactful work for our clients. We believe it is key to seek out and nurture intelligence and expertise.

Innovation is one of the group’s key commitments, and it is our priority to hire topnotch people and promote our brightest talents internally.

 

The Havas Village Model

Havas’ expansive network brings together talent from across the globe  to best serve our clients’ needs. Each Havas Village gathers creative, media, digital, design and activation talent under one roof, allowing us to provide an agile, seamless and integrated service for our clients in each market, while also drawing on the talent and support from villages across the globe. There are now over 70 Havas Villages all around the world. While each village is unique, they share a common ethos.

 

One common vision: “Meaningful Brand Idea”

Havas aims to make a meaningful difference to brands, businesses and people and in practice for our clients that means identifying a Meaningful Brand Idea or MBI.

Whatever marketing challenge we are trying to solve, whether through creativity or through media, our teams are unified in their approach as they seek the right MBI. Meaningful Brand Ideas factor in the functional, personal and societal ways in which a brand benefits the consumer and helps us unlock new insights.

This consideration of all stakeholders helps us fuel renewed relevance with which we guide the creative development of our clients’ brand positioning and identity.

Beyond creative executions, the MBI forms part of our new global operating system for media – Mx.

Through an understanding of what makes brands meaningful, and by capitalising on the most meaningful media for the audience, we can go beyond a traditional media plan, and create a valuable media experience (Mx). Meaningful Media is the media that matters most the to consumer and our operating system fuses connection, context and content to provide a better media experience that is more effective in achieving a brand’s goals.
