As digital advertisement spends are expected to cross Rs.255 billion in 2020, it is clear as crystal that digital is the future.

Being non-aligned and staying media neutralpermits Havas to be agile and responsive to learning, delivering and re-engineering

Especially in India, the ad spend is expected to be the highest with its millennial consumers, who are multi-device, multi-platform and hyper-social. The secret to hooking them on will be right toned, experiential communication where advertising flows cross device without being too intrusive. Cracking this code successfully, Havas Media, a digital at its core global agency, is better equipped to take on the challenges in the marketplace and encash the opportunities. Catering to brands across industry in 135 markets as of 2016, the company has been consistently graded as a Top Media Agency by leading industry
bodies such as RECMA (Research Company Evaluating the Media Agency Industry) and Campaign India (Haymarket Group) among others. In fact, brands like Quikr and Yepme were incubated at Havas Media and are still their growth journey partner.

"More than agency-client, we are brand-marketing partners with clients outlined by the fact that over 60 percent of our clients have been with us for 6+ years in our ten years of existence," says Anita Nayyar, CEO, Havas Media Group, India and South Asia. This integrated media company enriched with some of the industry's best data scientists, tools and analytical capabilities operates with a truly entrepreneurial mindset and the psychology and passion of a startup. This has turned them into the go-to agency for new age businesses in India. Reputed amidst the industry as a SMART agency, Havas is typically non-aligned and stays media neutral, while most companies have consolidated. This structure permits the company to be agile and responsive to learning, delivering and re-engineering, as it continuously strives to deliver meaningful marketing solutions through Meaningful Connections.
