Havas Village Amsterdam

Hello, we are Havas Village Amsterdam

Welcome to Havas Village Amsterdam: a unique proposition of creative, entertainment and media under one roof.

We are here to help brands and organisations shift to more meaning, so they can have a positive impact on business and the world. Whether that shift is big or small, it doesn’t matter. As long as it is in the right direction. Because impact is everything.

Nice to meet you

We are a crew of 125 talented people energetically collaborating to create impact. At a time when the industry has fragmented across specialities and disciplines, we're proud to be truly integrated and broadly deployable. Because there's nothing we can't solve together.

Meaningful Brands™

Meaningful Brands™Meaningful Brands™

For the last fifteen years, Havas has been dedicated to understanding and building Meaningful Brands™. Our new Meaningful Brands™ report is a landmark study of brand value which interrogates new behaviours, shifting cultural dynamics, and priorities for people, businesses and brands in a complex world. The latest study – surveying 91,000 people across 10 global markets, along with 1,300 brands across 42 categories, reveals:

72%

of people surveyed are tired of brands pretending they want to help society when they just want to make money

68%

think that the world is going in the wrong direction, at a global level

71%

believe that brands should be doing more to improve and support their personal health and well-being

The role of our Meaningful Brands™ study is to explore these shifts. At their best, meaningful brands win people’s loyalty; they occupy a bigger space in culture; they have a deeper resonance in people’s lives; and they set themselves up for the long-term win. They combine purpose with customer centricity to not just grow, but “Grow Well” - giving back to the people and the planet. In many ways the expectations of brands have never been higher. And we think that’s a good thing.
