Havas New York Names New Creative Leader

Havas New York has hired Dan Lucey in the role, following the departure of creative lead Harry Bernstein in October. Bernstein—an Adweek Creative 100 honoree for 2019—also founded and led Havas’ creative consultancy Annex88. Lucey joins Havas from New York independent agency Joan, where he was an equity partner and executive creative director.

Lucey’s hire reinforces Havas’ commitment to deliver purpose-driven work across its client roster, according to the agency.

“At Havas, we’re on a mission to make a meaningful difference to brands, businesses and people by creating impactful work that addresses the significant shifts in behavior we’re unearthing in today’s marketplace,” Havas New York CEO Laura Maness said in a statement.
