Top-five global communications holding group by media billings, with leading positions in creative, media, and health communications; publicly listed on Euronext Amsterdam since December 2024
Havas is a global communications powerhouse offering a full spectrum of advertising, media, and health communications services. Following its spin-off from Vivendi and successful listing on Euronext Amsterdam in December 2024, Havas now operates as an independent publicly traded company (Havas N.V.), with the Bolloré family retaining majority control of approximately 52% through Bolloré SE and Compagnie de l'Étoile des Mers. The group operates across more than 100 countries, serving multinational brands through its three core divisions: Havas Creative (advertising and creative services), Havas Media (media planning, buying, and data-driven solutions), and Havas Health & You (healthcare communications and life sciences marketing). Havas has built a distinctive 'Village' model that co-locates creative, media, and health teams within shared campuses, fostering integrated collaboration and delivering unified brand experiences. This structure enables clients to access seamlessly connected strategy, content, and media activation under one roof. The group's media network is among the top five globally by billings, and its health communications division is one of the largest in the world. In the AdTech and MarTech ecosystem, Havas competes with holding companies such as WPP, Publicis Groupe, Omnicom, IPG, and Dentsu. Its competitive differentiation lies in its integrated village model, its data and technology capabilities through Havas Market and Converged (its audience intelligence platform), and its agility as a mid-sized holding group relative to larger rivals. The company serves enterprise-level clients across consumer goods, pharma, finance, automotive, and technology sectors.
