The opportunity to take the agency forward from here is brilliant. A huge focus and passion of mine is driving real integration between all areas of the Havas Village to help us develop the smartest strategies and most impactful ideas for clients and partners. It’s an exciting time at Havas Media and I’m looking forward to what’s in store.”

Wilson commented: “My time working with Imogen now spans the last twelve years and I’d personally like to thank her for the significant impact she has made in those years on the businesses and teams she works with. As a leader, mentor, strategy guru and a champion of industry issues, Imogen is without peer, and I am confident she will continue to help steer Havas Media to even greater successes in the future.”
