SatrioAW3.jpegHavas Indonesia has announced for new business wins, following an intensive period of pitching, which includes Emirates Airlines, Indonesia Stock Exchange, A&W Restaurants and Nikki (a brand of Nojorono Tobacco).

The Emirates win will see Havas, which currently manages the media account add the creative mandate for the airlines. The appointment by A&W Restaurants also extends to both creative and media disciplines with the account being serviced by an integrated Havas Village team, as it also does for Indonesia Stock Exchange. Additionally, Havas Indonesia will manage the ATL, Digital and Activation duties of the Nikki brand.

Commenting on the wins, Matt Wiggers, CEO of Havas Jakarta, said, “These wins are a testament that our “Together” strategy, which is built around collaboration and synergy of different disciplines, is working well. Our uniquely structured Havas Villages offer innovative solutions to the communication challenges our clients face and we are delighted that these prestigious brands have seen value in our model.”

“A&W has selected Havas Village for the unique concoction of talent it offers: media specialists are sitting side-by-side with the creative teams, social media team as well as the activation experts,” commented Kelvin Tan, Marketing Director of A&W Restaurants International. “All the talent can be pulled around the table in a blink.”

Satrio, Client Service Director, Havas Jakarta (pictured above), who played a key role in the wins, added, “It took me some time to adapt to the new team and a new way of working, but it is encouraging to see the results. By integrating all the channels and placing brand strategy and communication idea at the centre, we have developed an offering that’s not only efficient but also effective.”

Havas rolled out its “Together” strategy in Indonesia in May 2016 with the launch of Havas Village Indonesia that currently houses 250 professionals from media, creative and specialist brands, all working together under one roof.
