No plans to fold Host Singapore into Havas says boss Dan Gibson
Havas Creative Group MD Dan Gibson has said there are no plans to fold Host Singapore into Havas there, saying their clients “prefer the current set-up”.
“And so does the Havas Group, who invested in the Host brand in order to further develop it beyond Australia,” Gibson told Mumbrella Asia editor Robin Hicks.
The comments come after several high-profile names including Noah Regan who left to take a break from the industry after less than a year and Paul Ward who has joined Naked in Sydney. in December Host moved into Havas’ offices in Singapore as the group looked to drive integration, less than a year after the agency launched in the region.
Gibson said culture is a strength across the Havas Village in Singapore, adding: “We don’t want a monoculture – each agency has its own distinct culture but with shared services.
