Havas Lynx Group creates new jobs

Havas Lynx Group’s turnover increased by 23% in 2017 to around £31 million. Now the consultancy, which delivers on healthcare innovation, campaign development and brand strategy, is taking on a further 60 staff due to increased demand from their clients. Most of the new roles are being filled by graduates from local universities, but also include account management, creative, digital and video expertise.
David Hunt, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Our business is all about instigating change that makes things better and not just different. Our healthcare and pharmaceutical clients trust us to develop compelling brands and thoughtful strategies that build lasting relationships. This approach, combined with the latest creative, data, social and content techniques, has seen us beat off international competition to win a number of new campaigns and this has resulted in one of our biggest ever recruitment drives. Over 60 people have joined us at our Manchester and London offices and the plan is to hire a further 20 over the next three months. We have a collective of brilliant people doing brilliant things and, better still, we are all enjoying the experience. The #LXAcademy is part of this and revered by our sector and, without doubt, plays a role in us attracting and retaining the best talent. You need to find time and money to invest in the grassroots of the business and then nurture the talent you have, giving people the freedom to be creative, to test themselves and ultimately develop so they are hungry to want the next exciting challenge. This comes from having empathy with those around you. And that’s not just in a professional capacity. Our goal is simple, minimise the unnecessary stress & frustration with work, and say thank you for every amazing thing we do.”
