Havas Media rolls with disruption, but is it prepared for the long run?

It was a busy year of restructuring and leadership changes at the wider Havas Group in APAC, which affected both its media and creative businesses. While this may have contributed to a business slowdown for Havas Media in 2019, the agency still managed to grow revenue by 11% overall. So where did it succeed, and where did it fall down?
