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
Ledger Bennett – through which we deliver meaningful outcomes for B2B clients.
At Ledger Bennett we’re on a mission to be the biggest B2B agency in the world. How? By rethinking what B2B agencies can deliver. By going further than just building campaigns that lead to MQLs. By developing strategies that keep working post-sale and building deeper, more meaningful customer relationships.
We built our talented, flexible-working team based on three principles. We’re inventive, always looking for new ways to deliver. We’re authentic and believe in being true to ourselves. And we’re ambitious in our approach to doing things differently.
