Havas Media Manchester to handle media planning & buying for Staples

Havas Media Manchester has been awarded the media planning and buying business for Staples – the global retail supply chain. The agency won the account following an international competitive pitch through Havas Media International Paris, against the account’s incumbent Carat and ZODG London.

With an estimated £3m of spend, Havas Media Manchester has been charged with a brief to deliver national, local and in-store campaigns in the UK.

We are delighted to have been chosen to lead the media capabilities for Staples in the UK and are looking forward to partnering with them through their next phase of business expansion.
