Who We Are
HH&Y
Havas Health & You is a part of Vivendi, one of the most unique companies that spans across creative, communications, and entertainment content. Our organization is made up of first in class companies like Universal Music Group – the world’s largest music company; Gameloft – the world’s largest gaming company; and Canal Plus – one of the leading content providers for film and tv.
We are the largest health advertising and communications organization in the world. We are individuals from around the globe, each bringing unique stories and life experience, who share the same ambition: to help people live healthier, fuller lives.
Health is a uniquely powerful force which impacts our lives in every respect; our choices; our relationships; our ambitions; our impact on each other and the world. We believe helping people feel better is as much about uplifting the human spirit as it is about treating the body and we help brands to do this by creating ideas and experiences that inspire that feeling.
We are driven to create ideas that change the way people think about health. We strive to create work that connects with audiences on a deeper level. We are not afraid to tell the untold stories or speak unspoken truths. A simple principle shapes our agency culture and our approach to building brands: to help each other thrive.
