Xavier Rees

Xav joined us in early 2016 from adam&eve DDB. His previous agencies include BBH, Claydon Healey and AIS, giving him broad experience across the industry.
He wears it lightly, though, and has a reputation for honesty, integrity, consistency, and openness. He instils those qualities through the whole team, too. Former clients describe him as one of the best account men they’ve ever worked with, who always balances the client’s business need with the best creative solution.
He’s a strategic thinker, and a business man. He believes in running tight, efficient teams, in which the account handlers keep a constant eye on the budget, while his passion for creative is infectious. And he makes sure his team rallies behind the work (as long as it's on brief).
Colleagues describe him as serious, but always fun. Havas believes in recruiting the very best into our senior management team, and Xav clearly fits the bill. He’s respected and admired by clients, agency teams and creatives.
