employees and the regional leaders of Havas.

Commenting on the launch Séguéla said “I am very honoured to be invited as the chief guest for the launch of Havas Village Jakarta. The idea of media and creative being located together is very close to my heart. I had been rooting for this structure for the last ten years and it is satisfying to see it become a reality. I strongly believe that clients are looking for coherence in marketing and do not want to go to different agencies for different needs.”

Matt Wiggers, CEO of Havas Worldwide Indonesia, said: “Our move into the village marks an important phase in the evolution of Havas Indonesia. To best facilitate meaningful connections, the agency has designed an open office, where employees work together as one team to produce integrated ideas and solutions that are fresh, fun and meaningful. The aesthetics have been built keeping in mind the needs of not only employees but also clients.”

“It has been two months since we moved into the new office and we are able to clearly see the benefits this has brought us. The philosophy of bringing media and creative agencies together has already proven to be phenomenally successful in other markets. We already have robust operations in Indonesia and I have no doubt that this move will make us stronger,” added SK Biswas, CEO of Havas Media Group, Indonesia.
