A Havas spokesperson confirmed today that the agency’s New York office laid off some of its staffers this week as part of a post-holiday restructuring that follows the September departure of CCO Darren Moran and includes this week’s hiring of Tom Goodwin as SVP of strategy and innovation.
Here’s the official statement:
Havas Worldwide NY made a slight reduction in staff, less than 2%. This decision came as part of a broader plan to improve internal efficiencies, and to realign our capabilities to better service our clients and streamline our operations.

That quote would place the total number of staffers no longer with the agency in the low two digits; no word on which departments were most affected.
Havas’ New York office continues to search for Moran’s successor.
