Following a year of transformational growth, Havas Red was crowned PR Agency of the Year at the highly-coveted 2025 AdNews AOTY awards ceremony in Sydney.
In awarding the grand prize, the awards jury singled out Havas Red’s integrated approach to strategic earned-first communications and its commitment to workplace culture, transparency, and development.
According to AdNews: “The judges praised the agency’s integrated approach across PR, social, content, and experiential channels. The winner is a team with strategic insight, transparency, and a disciplined approach to workplace culture.”
Havas Red had a transformational year across the entirety of the business. The agency’s body of work spanned strategic and creative multi-channel campaigns across consumer, corporate and healthcare, while commercial growth was fuelled by more than a dozen new client wins, the expansion of capabilities across content and influencer, and the growth of local markets including Melbourne and Brisbane.
Havas Red Australia CEO Shane Russell praised the 80+ team for working closer than ever to solve client challenges.
“This award caps a transformational year for Havas Red across our teams in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. We’ve reengineered our approach to client service so that we’re providing a full suite of specialist and integrated solutions across PR, social, influencer, content, and brand experience. We thank our amazing client partners for their support and trusting us to bring forward bold, impactful ideas.”
The AdNews win follows several other PR Agency of the Year awards in 2025 for Havas Red, including top honours at Mumbrella Travel Marketing Awards and CPRA’s Golden Target Awards.
