Warsaw, 2 June 2026
H/Advisors enters the Polish market with launch of Warsaw office, strengthening European leadership
H/Advisors, the global strategic communications advisory group owned by Havas, today announces the launch of its Warsaw office, marking its entry into Poland and continued expansion across Europe.
The move builds on sustained growth across the region, including Gauly Advisors, Acento Public Affairs, the expansion of its Brussels office as a central EU public affairs hub, and most recently the Havas Paris acquisition of Format, the next generation corporate influence communication in France. All reinforcing H/Advisors’ leading position in Europe and growing footprint in Central and Eastern Europe.
Based within Havas Village Warsaw, H/Advisors Poland will be led by Tomasz Lis, who will also continue as Managing Director of Havas PR Warsaw. The launch reflects Poland’s rising strategic importance amid geopolitical and economic change and increasing demand for senior advisory expertise in the region.
The Warsaw team will focus on sectors critical to national security and economic growth, including energy, defence, retail and food, and real estate. Clients will benefit from integration with Havas’ creative, media and digital capabilities, combining high-level strategic counsel with full-scale communications execution and access to global expertise and technology platforms.
Collectively, these strengths will further enhance H/Advisors’ global advisory platform, offering clients broader expertise, integrated capabilities, and a stronger strategic proposition across key European markets and beyond.
Havas PR Warsaw will remain an independent agency, ensuring continuity for existing clients while providing access to enhanced strategic advisory capabilities.
Stéphane Fouks, Executive Chairman of H/Advisors and Executive Vice President of Havas, said: “Poland is becoming a pivotal market in Europe’s new strategic landscape, at the intersection of geopolitical influence, industrial transformation and European decision-making. Establishing H/Advisors in Warsaw strengthens our ability to support clients where reputation, policy, business and societal expectations increasingly converge. This expansion reflects our ambition to build the leading integrated strategic advisory platform across Europe, combining deep local insight with cross-border expertise and execution capabilities.”
Dorota Mazur, CEO of Havas Creative Network Poland, commented: “The presence of H/Advisors within Havas Village in Warsaw strengthens our comprehensive offering and confirms the position of the ecosystem as a place where strategy meets creativity and effective execution. This is a unique value proposition for clients looking for a partner capable of supporting their business objectives in a truly holistic way.”
Tomasz Lis, Managing Director of H/Advisors, Poland and Havas PR Warsaw, added: “There are companies on the Polish market specialising in public affairs and strategic advisory, but in most cases their offer is limited to networking and relationships with decision-makers. H/Advisors brings a completely different level of value; we combine deep sector and analytical expertise with the ability to build effective narratives and a full communications infrastructure. A key differentiator is also direct access to our team of experts in Brussels, which gives Polish companies operating on European markets or subject to EU regulations a real advantage that local competitors cannot offer. This allows us to support our clients’ objectives comprehensively: from strategy, through content, to precise outreach to key stakeholder groups, both in Poland and at the European level.”
