Proud moment for the Havas family at Cannes Lions 2026 🦁

This year, 11 jurors from Havas have been selected to help judge the world’s most impactful creative work at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, including 4 jurors from Havas Media Network.

As part of our Cannes Lions Juror Spotlight series, we’re delighted to highlight Prachi Narayan, Managing Partner, Havas Play India, juror in the Entertainment category at the Cannes Lions. Prachi brings deep expertise in entertainment-led strategy, cultural storytelling, and audience-driven engagement and shares her perspective on why this is such an exciting moment for creativity.

Reflecting on her selection, she shared her perspective on why this is such an exciting moment for creativity: “It is an honour to be part of the jury at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, a platform that continues to set the benchmark for creative excellence across the world. I look forward to experiencing work that not only entertains, but builds culture, drives fandom, and creates lasting audience engagement across formats. With entertainment today sitting at the intersection of storytelling, technology and community, it’s an especially exciting time to recognise ideas that move seamlessly across platforms and truly resonate with audiences globally.”

Congratulations to Prachi and to all the Havas jurors representing our teams on the global stage!👏

We’re proud to share that Havas Media Network UK has been recognised in Campaign UK’s Best Places to Work list for the 6th time.

CEO Patrick Affleck says:
“One of the things we love most about this award is that it’s so heavily weighted on the feedback of our people. Their trust, wellbeing and whether people feel listened to are what really matter.”

From programmes like Havas Equalise and Reverse Mentoring, to leadership development initiatives including Emerging Leaders and the Havas Management Academy, we continue to invest in creating an environment where people feel supported, heard and empowered to do their best work.

A huge thank you to all our teams for helping shape the culture that makes this recognition possible 👏

As data strategies evolve, the operating system is becoming a strategic layer that shapes how data is governed, connected and activated, with privacy built in from the start.

When designed intentionally, it helps brands strengthen performance while building trust.

Converged.AI brings this together through three connected layers:

-Converged 360 for privacy governed first party data management
-Converged Clean Room for secure collaboration and measurement
-Match.AI for scalable activation in privacy safe environments

Together, they create a more resilient system where performance and privacy work side by side.

As AI evolves, its impact depends on the strength of the data behind it. This is why first party data is becoming central to how brands operate.

A modern data foundation is no longer just about aggregation. It’s about building systems that can:

* Enforce consent and purpose at a granular level
* Support identity without third party identifiers
* Govern and orchestrate data effectively
* Preserve ownership and control
* Enable activation through privacy safe integrations

Clean rooms are also becoming essential, allowing brands to collaborate securely, generate insights and activate data without exposing raw information.

Together, these capabilities are shaping a more resilient, privacy aware data ecosystem.

Incrementality is changing the way businesses understand marketing impact.

In conversation with Meta, Jamie Seltzer, Global Chief Data and Technology Officer at Havas Media Network shares how incrementality helps create a clearer picture of the true value of media investment, shifting marketing from a cost centre to a revenue driver.

But the real challenge?
Turning measurement into action through organisational change and smarter decision-making.

Consent is shifting from implicit to explicit, with people expecting more control, transparency and a clear value exchange in return for their data.

At the same time, it is becoming dynamic, evolving across channels and over time.

This is reshaping how brands approach data.

With first party data and AI, brands can:

* Extend audience understanding
* Improve measurement
* Maintain scale while respecting privacy

Brands that embed consent into their experience will build stronger, more sustainable performance.

Throughout, locally sourced vintage furniture, checkerboard floors, and unexpected design moments create an environment that feels more like a characterful hotel than a traditional office, celebrating creativity, individuality, and a little bit of funk in every corner.

INSIDE THE HAVAS SYDNEY VILLAGE 🇦🇺

Located in the landmark Bushells Building in The Rocks, our Sydney Village brings together 11 Havas agencies under one roof, uniting a century of character with the way our teams work today.

Originally built in the 1920s as the Bushells Tea Factory, the building operated for more than 50 years before earning a @UNESCO Asia Pacific Heritage Award for Distinction and being added to the NSW State Heritage Register.

Following a major 2019 refurbishment, the space now celebrates its original features, from the dramatic entry lobby and full-height atrium to ironbark columns, exposed services, and preserved factory-era fittings, offering a genuine glimpse into its past while supporting modern collaboration.

A distinctive example of how we bring history, design, and contemporary creativity together across our global Villages. #LifeAtHavas

Is your agency offering a Black Box or a Black Book?

Only the latter delivers clarity, flexibility, and a truly client‑first mindset. In a new conversation, Dan Hagen, Global Chief Data and Technology Officer at Havas, explains why we don’t believe in agency black boxes. Instead, we build Black Books.

Our approach starts with the client challenge, not the tools we want to sell. As more clients build their own data and technology stacks, our role is to support that journey. We help fill the gaps with the right data, technology, and partners, adapting to existing infrastructures and evolving needs, always with a focus on real business value.

When it comes to AI, success is about more than models and platforms. It depends on AI literacy, strong human judgement, and a clear understanding of the impact on people, culture, and brands.

🎥 Watch the full interview to hear how this philosophy shapes our data, technology and AI strategy, and how it helps our clients build future‑ready organisations.

This week in London, we brought clients together for Havas Media Network’s Televisionaries event, in partnership with Thinkbox.

In an increasingly fragmented AV landscape, the conversation focused on what really matters: the viewer experience, collaboration across broadcasters, and the enduring power of TV to drive impact.

From AVX, our new AV proposition that was unveiled during the event, to the panel discussion that followed, it was a thoughtful look at how the industry continues to evolve.
