Welcome to Havas Germany

Let's make a meaningful difference.

We are positive individuals with different talents, life paths, and rough edges. We love creativity and the possibilities that technology and media give us nowadays. As much as we are always fighting for the best ideas, we also pay attention to fairness, equal opportunities, and a working environment that is fun for everyone. We encourage, challenge, banter, and smirk. Good, sustainable work is not a given, but it can be fun.

Nice to meet you.

Meaningful Brands

Meaningful BrandsMeaningful Brands
Our proprietary research study Meaningful Brands (that spans 350,000 people worldwide, 31 markets, 22 industries and 1,800 brands each year) discovered that:

77%

of brands could disappear and no one would care

84%

of consumers think companies and brands should communicate honestly about their commitments and promises

58%

of the content provided by brands is not meaningful to consumers

It’s these key findings that have lead to the creation of our Meaningful Brands strategic framework. A unique approach that has allowed us to understand that a brand’s value – how meaningful it is to its consumers – is defined by a combination of ‘functional’, ‘personal’ and ‘collective’ benefits. Used across strategy and planning teams in all our agencies around the world, Meaningful Brands acts as the ‘glue’ in our integrated process and provides a common approach to strategic thinking to ensure we deliver meaningful business growth for our clients.
