We’re the partners they turn to for intelligent strategy, incredible ideas and indomitable people. We create content that’s optimised, personalised and progressive, with a unique point of view that puts brand stakeholders at the heart of the conversation.
HAVAS Red UK is based in London and Manchester. We’re part of the HAVAS PR Network – the PR and communications arm of the HAVAS Group that comprises more than 40 agencies in over 25 markets worldwide.

UNDENIABLE PASSION
As partners who genuinely care, we bring an energy and camaraderie that’s contagious through every interaction with colleagues and clients. Nothing makes us happier than working collaboratively to solve problems and overcome challenges, knowing we’ll get there together.
FEARLESS AMBITION
We built our own brand from scratch and nurture our clients the same way. We treat their businesses as carefully as our own, asking the tough questions to get under the skin of each brand. Our entrepreneurial mindset means we find inspiration in unexpected places and industries, and in those we encounter along the way.
INCREDIBLE IDEAS
For us, hierarchy and ego have no place in strategic and creative thinking. We give our clients an unfair advantage by going beyond the brief – every single time. We free ourselves to find the ideas that can actually cut through the noise and engage minds.
