Sustainability is now a business imperative. With the IPCC reporting that we are not on track to remain below 1.5°C warming, it's clear that we are now living in the decade of action.
Conran’s brand strategy and design expertise were essential in building the Havas Genus offer. The name emphasises urgency and introduces an element of interconnectivity – delivering a sustainable future will always be a shared responsibility.
The visual identity uses a multiplier effect that emanates outwards from the ‘US’ in the logo, separating the two elements of the name and reinforcing the fact that change starts with us.

04. Launch event
We designed a website that puts the Havas Genus mission front and centre, and provides a comprehensive overview of our services. Compelling messaging and arresting imagery reflect decisive action, leadership and the need for progress, while a simple global navigation allows users to easily learn about our collective knowledge, capabilities and client stories.

We created a film that powerfully conveys the importance of sustainability today and outlines how Havas Genus delivers positive action through brand strategy and consultancy. It demonstrates how together, with our complementary skills and capabilities, we can accelerate sustainable transformation for the brands we work with.
