Havas Group has today announced a plan to expand
its Havas Village office in Sydney with a move to a new customised
space which will bring all of its Sydney agencies together, reinforcing
the world-leading execution of Havas' global 'Together' strategy.
The
new office will be located in a 6000m2 heritage-listed building at 121
Harrington Street and will bring 450 staff from across all the Havas
Group's Sydney business units together for the first time in one
location. This includes Host/Havas, Red Agency, Havas Media, Havas
Sports & Entertainment, Blvd, BD Network and One Green Bean which
joins the Village from its current offices in Surry Hills.
The custom-created space, which will stretch over six floors, will be
configured around collaboration and co-creation. It will enhance the
Group's ability to facilitate solutions for new and existing clients who
are looking for cross-functional teams operating across multiple
communications disciplines, to work together. The office will integrate
cutting edge design and state-of-the-art technology to strengthen the
Group's full-service offering.
The move to one of the largest
single spaces for any marketing group in Australia will accelerate
Havas' mission to become Australia's most agile and progressive
communications group, supporting current and future growth
opportunities.
Says Anthony Freedman, chairman, Havas Group ANZ:
"Over the past two years, our Sydney Village has continued to evolve and
we have built strong momentum through the consistent delivery of
outstanding, award-winning work for our clients.
"The move
enables the next phase of our global 'Together' strategy, facilitating
greater collaboration and co-creation between our best-in-class agencies
across the Group. We are proud that the Sydney Village is the most
integrated in the industry and look forward to continuing innovation
around the ideology in Harrington Street."
