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.

Vivendi

We are part of Vivendi, which means we have unparalleled access to entertainment and culture. These are incredibly powerful launch pads from which brands can make a significant cultural impact.

Being part of Vivendi sets us apart from all the other networks. This means we think about culture, not just comms. We believe that brands rightly have a role to play in culture, how they show up in people’s lives and the wider world, how they entertain, inform, and how they make a positive impact on the wider world. This is cultural impact. This is how brands make a meaningful difference to people’s lives.

Meaningful Brands

Meaningful BrandsMeaningful Brands
For the last fifteen years, Havas has been dedicated to understanding and building Meaningful Brands™. Its annual Meaningful Brands™ report is a landmark study of brand value which interrogates new behaviours, shifting cultural dynamics, and priorities for people, businesses and brands in a complex world. The latest study surveyed 91,000 people across 10 global markets, along with 1,300 brands across 42 categories and reveals that:

72%

of people surveyed are tired of brands pretending they want to help society when they just want to make money 

68%

think the world is going in the wrong direction, at a global level

71%

believe brands should be doing more to improve and support their personal health and well-being 

The role of our Meaningful Brands™ study is to explore these shifts. At their best, meaningful brands win people’s loyalty; they occupy a bigger space in culture; they have a deeper resonance in people’s lives; and they set themselves up for the long-term win. They combine purpose with customer centricity to not just grow, but “Grow Well” - giving back to the people and the planet. In many ways the expectations of brands have never been higher. And we at Havas think that is a good thing.
