INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNT DIRECTOR

We 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.
