                                     Benett

David  Jones, Global CEO of Havas, today  announced a key management move within
the  global agency Havas Worldwide. Kate  Robertson, currently UK Group Chairman
of Havas Worldwide, is appointed Co-Global President. In this new role Robertson
will  share  the  responsibility  for  leading  the day-to-day management of the
global  network with Co-President Andrew Benett.  They will both report to Jones
who will remain Global CEO of the Havas Worldwide network.
David Jones said : "Kate has played a key role in the company's most significant
achievements  of  recent  years  -  from  the  win  of the entire global Reckitt
Benckiser  business to the creation of One  Young World. She has transformed the
UK  group, and this move will allow her to  play an even bigger role on a global
canvas.  She's a  rare talent,  an inspirational  leader and someone who clients
trust  and value. She also  has a proven track  record in driving growth and new
business.  It's a  great time  for those  in our  industry who are excited about
change. Andrew and Kate are two of those people and together they will help push
us further and faster."
Kate's  progression within the  Havas Group has  been impressive. She joined ten
years   ago   as  Executive  Vice  President  Europe  responsible  for  business
development and network practice.
Just  one year later she  was promoted EVP Global  Brands and with Jones was the
driving  force  behind  one  of  Havas's  biggest  ever  account  wins,  Reckitt
Benckiser.
She  was promoted UK Group  Chairman of Havas Worldwide  in February 2006 and in
2010 co-founded  One Young World, a charity  that gathers together the brightest
young  people from around the world, in  an annual summit, with global political
and business leaders with the goal of driving positive change.

Kate  Robertson added: "Working  at Havas with  David, Andrew and  the team is a
privilege.  I  love  it.  Building  a  new  company  from an existing one is the
toughest  gig in business - but that's  what we're doing with digital inside all
our units and all our disciplines. Our model is unique and we're cracking it but
we  want to move faster. I am honored to have a global remit to serve a terrific
group of people and work with the team to drive change.
Kate Robertson will remain Chairman of the Havas Worldwide agencies based in the
UK and her nomination is effective immediately.

long  run. Her great  passion and fascination  were and are  people and all that
makes  them tick.  She is  married to  Film Producer  Bruce Robertson  and has a
daughter, Ella.
