Agency : Havas London

Job Description : Havas London is Havas UK’s flagship creative agency. Our mission is to make a meaningful difference to brands, businesses and people.

We’re the only major UK advertising agency to share a single building with every other specialist business in our network, all under a single P&L. Sitting within the Havas Village in King’s Cross affords us some clear advantages; none more so than our ability to build bespoke, multi-discipline teams around our clients, whatever their business need.

These are not teams that are together on paper alone, but teams physically, culturally, logistically and financially aligned. This set-up allows us to complement – not replicate – our specialisms.
