Welcome to Havas Australia

We are Havas Australia

The Havas Village is a truly unique proposition – creative, digital, content, PR, media and partnerships, all under one roof. Our philosophy is to work together seamlessly, building teams around our clients’ needs not our own.

We operate with one vision, one shared way of working, and under one P&L. Our mission: To make a meaningful difference to the brands, the businesses and the lives of the people with whom we work.

Our People

We are a home for collaborators. At a time when the industry has fragmented across specialities and disciplines, we're proud to be truly integrated – physically and philosophically.

This way, we work faster, smarter and happier.

Meaningful Brands

Meaningful BrandsMeaningful Brands

Our proprietary market research initiative Meaningful Brands spans 375,000 people worldwide, 31 markets, 22 industries and 1,800 brands each year. It has discovered that:

75%

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

These key findings that have lead to the creation of our Meaningful Brands strategic framework. Its unique approach has allowed us to understand that a brand’s true value — namely, 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.
