“We have identified and partnered with best-of-breed solutions like MessageGears that we are confident will help our clients perform at the highest level possible, and are providing them with the expertise needed to leverage those solutions effectively.”
Through this partnership, Havas Helia is reimagining the agency-client relationship when it comes to martech and changing the way clients build their martech stack to be more like adtech, where the third-party tools are managed and optimized by their agency. By allowing the agency to support both martech and adtech, clients’ data can be stored seamlessly and unified at the customer level, bringing greater efficiencies and more optimized customer interactions.

“The current model where a brand has to go out and buy an expensive martech suite product and then try to piece together the internal skills to manage all the tools is not efficient or effective,” said Michael Kaushansky, President, Havas Helia U.S. “We have identified and partnered with best-of-breed solutions like MessageGears that we are confident will help our clients perform at the highest level possible, and are providing them with the expertise needed to leverage those solutions effectively.”
With clients like Expedia, Chick-fil-A, and Rakuten Rewards, MessageGears removes data friction for large consumer brands with a platform that attaches directly to a source of customer data, such as a modern data warehouse. This enables marketers to deliver more relevant and meaningful messages, faster and more flexibly than legacy email service providers and marketing clouds. Marketers can now maximize the value of their customer data in real time without moving data around.
“The Helia and MessageGears solution will provide our clients with significant improvement of timely and meaningful customer connections, micro-segmentation, and activation relative to traditional marketing clouds,” added Shay Young, Managing Director, Havas Helia.
