Where Winter turns into Summer

    We are the Havas Boston Village

    The Havas Village is a truly unique proposition — creative, media, and health 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 Havas mission: To make a meaningful difference to the brands, the businesses, and the lives of the people we work with.

    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 happily.

    Meaningful Brands

    Our proprietary research study Meaningful Brands (that spans 350,000 people worldwide, 31 markets, 22 industries, and 1,800 brands each year) discovered that:

    77%

    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

    It’s these key findings that have lead to the creation of our Meaningful Brands strategic framework. A unique approach that has allowed us to understand that a brand’s value — 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.
