Hello, we are

About us

Havas Red UK is based in London and Manchester. We offer clients excellence across earned, influencer, social and experiential with content at our core — because we recognise that the lines of communication have blurred.

We’re committed to making a meaningful difference to the brands, businesses and lives of the people we work with.

We understand that it's extremely challenging for brands to stay relevant and meaningful amidst massive changes in consumer behavior, employee expectations, digital transformation, industry-wide shifts, and global crises. That's why we've made it our mission to help brands navigate this increasingly disrupted and unpredictable world.

Partnering with Havas Red isn't about doing the same old thing with a new agency. In today's disrupted world, clients come to us for one thing: change—whether it's rethinking communications, reshaping brand perception, or cutting through a fractured marketplace.

That's why we created LEAP, our bold approach to strategic and creative delivery. LEAP is designed to help brands focus on what matters most—unlocking the biggest opportunities for impact in a fast-evolving landscape.

With a proven track record of driving transformation, Havas Red empowers clients to make the strategic and creative leaps needed to achieve their goals—faster, smarter, and with purpose.

What you should know about us

Our latest and greatest

Coors

How do you build a deeper connection between Coors and live music?
We created a dynamic content series that both entertained and informed – sending on an unforgettable adventure. They were challenged to make their way from the airort to Red Rocks Amphitheatre for an epic concert. The catch was they had to do it all without phones, money, or modern conveniences, with only 72 hours to complete the journey.
Recognising the entertainment value of the content series, Havas Red developed a PR strategy to amplify it across earned media, focusing on building awareness of Coors' heritage and its connection to "fresh" music.
We delivered 102 pieces of earned coverage and a 1.6% average organic in-feed engagement rate.

NHS Blood and Transplant

How do you reach Black audiences and inspire individuals to give blood when Black heritage communities are disparate and often distrustful of Western medical institutions and governments?
We know from behavioural insights that people are more motivated to do something if they’re not the only one.
We shortlisted five individuals from all across the country who give blood on a regular basis, and partnered with Black-British street artist, Dreph, to put them on a national stage. Dreph was commissioned to paint each ‘Giving Type’ case study in their likeness to create a 20 ft mural in South London’s Stockwell Hall of Fame that publicly celebrated Black heritage blood donors.
We delivered mass national coverage but more than that we saw an uplift of 153% new registrations by Black donors compared to average.

Therabody

Therabody wanted to solidify their position as a leader in holistic wellness technology.
Our approach looked to culture to leverage the ongoing trend around 'sleep health' and the importance of quality rest to enter Therabody into the cultural zeigeist.
We released propriety sleep data giving us fresh content for media and developed a unique event concept designed to educate and engage influencer and media attendees on the science of sleep while demonstrating the tangible benefits of Therabody's products.
We delivered 20 press and media attendees with 2M+ OTS achieved.
