“At Havas Market, we believe in a holistic, consumer-centric approach to commerce that finds the best solutions adapted to our clients’ needs and specific business challenges,” shared Bertrand Fraboulet, Global Managing Director, Havas Market. “Brands that build their own DTC websites dramatically increase their ability to communicate directly with consumers, all while increasing their first-party data volume and gaining commerce autonomy. This global partnership brings together Shopify’s technical excellence with Havas Market’s best-in-class digital marketing expertise to provide the brands we champion a bespoke, tailored approach to eCommerce.”
Since launching in October 2020, Havas Market has serviced a vast range of industries across more than 23 countries, creating meaningful shopping experiences across marketplaces, direct-to-consumer channels, social commerce, and digital ‘drive-to-store’. This latest collaboration with Shopify places Havas Market among the first communications groups to establish a global partnership with the leading provider of internet infrastructure for commerce.
