Our Company

Our Company

We are Havas Lynx.

Making an impact that matters for our brands, our people, and our world. 

We are Havas Lynx, a leading healthcare communications agency with a full-service global offering and almost 500 multidisciplinary specialists.

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 launched over 25 brands, including working on some of the most successful launches in pharma. And supported brands throughout their lifecycle, and across brand priorities. We’ve broken down stereotypes in prostate cancer awareness, supported opioid users in doing something remarkable and shone a light on the hidden healthcare crises within the LGBTQ+ community. 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 and Stonewall ‘LGBTQ+ diversity champion’.

Our passion doesn’t stop at our door. We’ve also committed to net zero and we’re 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.

For the past two years, we’ve been honoured to be named as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ by Great Place to Work®, a testament to our vibrant workplace culture. Our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusivity (ED&I) stands out as a key reason our employees love working at Lynx. This, coupled with our robust learning and development opportunities through the Academy programme, fosters a nurturing environment. And our specialisation in pharmaceutical and healthcare communications also means employees feel rewarded and are driven each day to make a difference to the lives of patients, healthcare professionals, and caregivers, globally.

This year marked a new milestone as we received a Bronze award from the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index (WEI), in recognition for our work creating a welcoming workplace where LGBTQ+ employees can bring their full selves to work. As Europe’s leading charity for LGBTQ+ rights, Stonewall’s recognition affirms our dedication to inclusivity. The WEI award holds special significance for us. It not only acknowledges our efforts but also provides crucial feedback to help us strive to do better. At the heart of Havas Lynx is our incredible team, whose passion and commitment not only shapes our culture but also make a real impact in people’s lives.

The accolades continue with our recent recognition as one of the Top 3 Healthcare Agencies in the World by Cannes Lions. This prestigious award from Cannes Lions underscores our continued dedication to delivering innovative and creative solutions for our clients that have a long-lasting impact on society.
