HAVAS PARIS - BRAND CULTUREWe are Havas Paris.
At Havas Paris, we work with brands and organisations operating in complex, highly exposed and constantly evolving environments.
Brands and organisations for which culture, meaning and consistency in communication are key considerations — in France as well as internationally.
Within our Brand Culture & Advertising community, consulting sits at the crossroads of brand strategy, creative advertising and social dynamics.
The challenges are demanding, clients are highly involved, and expectations are high — both in terms of strategic thinking and execution.

More specifically, you will:
Contribute to the development of strategic platforms, creative territories and communication strategies
Lead complex, multi-stakeholder projects with a high level of quality and rigour
Help structure client relationships, ensure smooth and effective communication, and move projects forward in sometimes fast-changing environments
Work closely with the agency and the Havas Group teams involved in the projects, both in France and internationally
Contribute to business development and upstream strategic thinking, including recommendations, pitches and account growth
Depending on the project, you may work on integrated campaigns and communications spanning digital, social, film, print and activation.

Able to thrive in fast-paced, international and highly visible environments
Diplomatic, confident in client relationships and comfortable working with demanding stakeholders

You have:
5 to 7 years of experience minimum in communication or advertising agencies
Experience contributing to the development and delivery of integrated campaigns
Experience developing international campaigns and/or coordinating projects internationally

A desire to be part of a collaborative team and contribute to ambitious projects.
Why join us ?
Work on high-value strategic communication challenges, in France and internationally
Join a community where consulting and creativity go hand in hand
Take on a key role with real responsibilities and opportunities to grow
