Havas Health has announced the global launch of a new, updated brand identity for the Health4Brands (H4B) network. The new brand network identity comes into effect immediately. At the same time, the network is merging its London Havas Life and H4B offices – creating H4B London and forming a new H4B leadership team in Europe.
H4B London will be jointly led by former Havas Life London managing director, Claire Dobbs, and former H4B London managing director, Brad Sellars. Together the duo will serve as managing directors of H4B London and will continue to report to Havas Health Europe CEO, Ben Davies.
“The Havas Life and H4B offices in London have truly complementary skills and expertise, and no client conflicts. Strategically, it makes sense to merge these two great agencies into one optimised London agency that will continue to partner with key existing clients, but also has the strongest base for future growth,” said Havas Health CEOs, Donna Murphy and Doug Burcin.
The intention is that H4B London, combined with Havas Life Medicom and Havas Lynx, will establish a more simplified three-agency network structure for Havas Health in the UK.
“We are creating a stronger, well-structured London agency that bolsters our overall position in the UK – and this empowered agency will continue to fuel the growth of Havas Health in Europe,” added Davies. “Claire and Brad’s extensive experience and complementary skills come together to form a formidable partnership. I’m delighted they will lead what I firmly believe is one of the top health and wellness agencies in London.”
Outside of the London merger, there is no change in structure to the other H4B agencies around the globe.
Havas Health – a global subsidiary of Havas – is the umbrella company for Havas Life (formerly Euro RSCG Life), Health4Brands (H4B) and Havas Lynx networks.
