AGENCY STATEMENT

We are the Havas Lynx, a leading healthcare communications agency with a full-service global offering and almost 500 multi-disciplinary specialists in Manchester, London, and New York.

Agency description

We are Havas Lynx. We bring together fresh perspectives, creative thinking, and a progressive approach to partner with our clients, healthcare professionals, and patients in finding solutions for the modern-day healthcare landscape. Ultimately, everything we do is about making a genuine and lasting impact.

And with 37 years of doing this, we’ve been able to produce some serious impact.

We’ve used medical technologies to transform medical and personal health outcomes for all, simplified the complex world of biomarker testing, and exposed the climate crisis as one of the biggest global threats to human health. This dedication to creating an impact was recently recognised as we were named in the Top 3 Healthcare Agencies in the World at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.

To have this impact, we understand the profound importance of creating an environment where all our people can flourish. Focusing internally to nurture a uniquely talented, proactive, and diverse culture that’s been acknowledged as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ by Great Place to Work for the second consecutive year and awarded a Stonewall ‘LGBTQ+ diversity champion’.

Our passion doesn’t stop at our door. We’ve also committed to net zero and proud to support those causes that quite literally mean the world to us. So whether it’s for our clients, our people, or the world around us, we’re always on the hunt for the next impact we can make.
