THE AGENCY

Havas Switzerland, part of the Havas Group, is a human-sized agency with around 60 employees across its Geneva and Zurich offices, working with both Swiss and international clients.

THE TEAM

The Havas Village philosophy is to work together seamlessly, building teams around our clients' needs. Not our own. 

The Project Manager sits within the Client Services Team, across the different expertise of Havas Switzerland: Creative, CX, Play, and Sports.

• At Havas Creative, we create brand experiences that move from attention to connection — work that people actively engage with, that shows up in culture and that drives real impact. 
• At Havas CX, we bring customer experiences to life by turning brand promises into action that people feel, use and remember.
• At Havas Play, we help brands grow by earning relevance in culture and fandom and by creating “playgrounds” where brands and communities connect through passions. 
• At Havas Sports, we support sports organizations and events in on-boarding innovation, designing meaningful fan experiences and growing commercial revenues.

We are a home for collaborators. At a time when the industry is fragmented across specialities and disciplines, we're proud to be truly integrated - physically and philosophically.

This way, we work faster, smarter and happier.
