What we do

At Havas Paris, we work with brands operating in complex, highly exposed and constantly evolving environments.

Brands for which culture, meaning and consistency truly matter — in France as well as internationally.

The challenges are demanding, clients are highly involved, and expectations are high — strategically and creatively.
