About Us

Havas Media invests in media that matters. We understand where to find the most meaningful media using our unique Mx system. We build a Media Experience (Mx) that connects a client with their target audience – in the context of where they are, through the content they pay attention to.

The Mx System creates value for our clients by turning consumer intelligence into clear growth targets, aligning stakeholders and KPIs through the custom Mx Brief, and measuring the impact of rich and respectful media experiences. Because we believe that more meaningful media can help build more meaningful brands.

We live on Harrington St, Sydney, along with the Havas Village. The Village is designed to create meaningful connections between people and brands through creativity, media, and innovation. As part of the Village, we are able to seamlessly integrate media, creative, PR, and digital to bring more efficient and effective outcomes for our clients.

We are part of the Havas Group, which is the fifth-largest marketing communications group in the world, with 20,000 staff operating in 100 countries.

What sets Havas Media apart from other agencies is the importance we place on our culture and our people. We are a passionate bunch and take great pride in the work we produce, but we also care about enjoying ourselves along the way, being respectful to one another, and sharing a common goal – to be the best agency you will ever work.
