Havas agencies

Havas organizes its offer across creative, media and health. Its Village model brings people from different disciplines together in shared locations, with the stated aim of making collaboration easier. For a client, the potential benefit is practical: fewer gaps between the campaign idea, the media plan and specialist input. The relevant test is how the proposed team will work together on your account, rather than whether the agencies share an address.

87 agencies in the directory belong to Havas. Each profile links to the page its membership was read on, starting from Havas’s own site. This is the published Agency Field Guide subset, not the group’s complete corporate roster.

Before you shortlist

Ask what integration changes in the weekly work.

When a Havas pitch combines disciplines, ask to see a single work plan showing the shared brief, review points and final decision maker. Establish how creative learns from media results and how the team resolves a recommendation that benefits one channel at the expense of another. Being in the same building is a start. It is not an operating agreement.

For health communications, identify the people responsible for scientific accuracy, client review and market-specific requirements. For a general brand assignment, check whether you need the full integrated offer or one agency’s specialty. In either case, ask for a relevant client reference and a clear account of which work the proposed team actually performed.

What should you ask Havas agencies?

  • Who can make decisions across the creative and media teams?
  • Which specialists are dedicated to our account, and which are available only when separately scoped?

Use the case study checklist to check the work behind the pitch, and the agency interview guide to compare the answers.
