Job Description :
Havas Entertainment
Havas Entertainment is a media agency designed exclusively for clients who live in culture – think Gaming, Arts, Film, TV, Entertainment, Toys, and Fashion.  From Puma to Playmobil, Beats to Bumble, Rémy Cognac to Cointreau, Bethesda to Square Enix, UKTV to JBL (Harman), the list is impressive and it’s growing. Havas Entertainment will operate at the intersection of entertainment, creative, media & technology with the promise of creating meaningful experiences in culture.
We are here to rewrite the rules of entertainments & create meaningful moments in culture.
Do you want to challenge the status quo?
Do you think there’s a better way that defies the tired, outdated conventions you see from most of today’s media agencies?
Do you have an appetite to do the type of work that gets more shared, more talked about, more noticed?
If yes, then we are for you.
A bit about you…
  • We want people who feel a passion for this industry,
  • Who are naturally curious,
  • Who live and breathe culture.
  • We want fresh opinions and ideas. Thinking that challenges the status quo and that leads to innovation.
  • Your background could be media planning, or you might want to make a jump from advertising, social or even something outside our industry. Our philosophy here is to hire for attitude, train for skill.  If you’ve got the qualifications great.  If you’ve got the passion even better.
If any of this sounds like you.  If you want to create solutions that unify advertising, PR, social, experiences and media.  If you want to create cultural impact far greater than the sum of the individual parts, then please get in touch.
