Jacques

What Jacques does

Jacques is a global creative agency operating within the Havas Health Network and serving enterprise healthcare brands and pharmaceutical companies. Founded in 2024 on the 90th birthday of legendary French advertising figure Jacques Séguéla — a former doctor of pharmacology with 1,500+ campaigns over 55 years — the agency is built around the explicit philosophy 'Creativity Heals Everything.' It positions itself as a vertically specialized creative partner rather than a generalist, concentrating exclusively on modern brand experiences, brand content creation, and creative strategy for the healthcare sector.

The agency staffs 800+ employees referred to as 'ambitious empaths' across 5 global cities, with deep healthcare expertise positioned as the core capability. Services are delivered as an integrated creative offering — no discrete product modules, no proprietary technology platform, no API surface, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The technology posture is conventional for a creative agency: human-led creative strategy supported by 'data as storytelling fuel,' with no software product to speak of. No patents, certifications, or compliance attestations are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements — project-based, quote-driven work — sold via enterprise field sales directly to healthcare brands and pharmaceutical companies. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Jacques is privately held as a subsidiary of Havas Health Network (itself part of the broader Havas advertising group), has no external funding rounds, no disclosed M&A activity, and no disclosed customer logos. The company is currently operating, headquartered in New York, NY, and markets itself primarily through LinkedIn and Instagram.
