Havas acquires ecommerce consultancy

In brief

Havas Group has acquired ecommerce consultancy Expert Edge.

The acquisition will “accelerate” the global expansion of Havas Media Group’s full-service ecommerce agency Havas Market from the UK.

Expert Edge has previously supported brands looking to grow global revenues on Amazon and local and global Havas Media Group clients will now be able to expand their ecommerce through access to its experts in-house.

Havas Market first launched in October 2020 to “create more meaningful shopping experiences” for consumers and drive growth for brands in commerce. It is now active in more than 20 markets, and recently launched in Australia, India and Singapore in Q2 of this year.
