H4B Chelsea

What H4B Chelsea does

H4B Chelsea is a flagship integrated health and wellness marketing agency within the Havas Health & You (HH&Y) network, founded in 2018 and headquartered at 200 Madison Avenue, New York. The agency combines science and psychology to understand the healthcare journey, focusing on customer behavior analysis, patient and provider engagement, and brand strategy for pharmaceutical and healthcare clients. Named enterprise clients include Bayer, Pfizer, Merck, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Amgen, with the broader network serving 200+ health and wellness clients across 60+ countries.

The agency's core technology stack is inherited from the HH&Y network and includes Havas Voice (an AI-enabled patient engagement consultancy powered by Atlas Health), the Behind The Mask longitudinal research platform, Prosumer Studies, and the X Index CX measurement tool. Underlying R&D includes a patent-pending flu prediction algorithm developed by the network's Global CCO. The agency operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within Havas Health Inc., which is itself under Havas Group and ultimately majority-owned by Vivendi (Paris: VIV).

H4B Chelsea generates revenue through professional services engagements — brand strategy, creative development, and multi-channel communications campaigns — priced on a project or retainer basis typical of B2B healthcare communications agencies. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The broader HH&Y network has achieved double-digit organic growth for 10 consecutive years, reached MM+M Agency/Network of the Year in 2022, and has expanded globally through acquisitions (Raison de Santé, 2022) and joint ventures (Republica Havas Health, 2022).
