H/Advisors recognised as the corporate communications agency of 2024
18/12/2024INTERNATIONAL H/Advisors, Havas’ international strategic communications network, has combined external and organic growth in 2024.
When in September 2022, Amo, the international strategic communications consulting network of the Havas group, renamed itself H/Advisors, it was with great ambitions: to go from 1,400 to 2,000 consultants and from 140 to 200 million euros of gross margin in two to three years. Since then, it has grown a lot.
In 2023, it established itself in the Middle East, in Dubai, and completed the acquisition of the corporate and financial communication agency Klareco Communications in Singapore, an operation consolidated in 2024. Its teams are now installed within the Havas village. Last November, he formalised the opening of an office in Brussels, with a team of public affairs specialists responsible for supporting clients in their issues with European institutions. Led by Antonio Cunha Vaz, Executive Chairman, and Helena Walsh, CEO, this 14-person office works for accounts like Procter & Gamble.
Excluding acquisitions, organic growth is also there, “up to +7%”, confides Stéphane Fouks, Executive Chairman of H/Advisors. This increase is due, among other things, to the development of large cross-functional clients, particularly from tech in the United States. At the same time, H/Advisors continues to deploy a corporate communication offering for healthcare players, in conjunction with Havas Health & You. In total, network growth should approach 10% in 2024. Three acquisitions are already planned at the European level for the first half of 2025.
