Stéphane Gaubert

With a career marked by over 200 national and international awards, I’ve been honored with accolades such as the Grand Prix at Cannes Lions 2023 and a total of 28 Cannes Lions (8 Golds, 12 Silvers—including a Titanium, and 8 Bronzes). My work has also earned 5 prestigious D&AD awards, 15 Grand Prix, and 20 accolades from the French Art Directors Club, along with multiple Golds across renowned festivals including The Epica Awards, The One Show, Clio Awards, London International Awards, Eurobest, New York Festiva, ADCE, and Effie.

I began my advertising journey in 2003 as a Creative Copywriter at BDDP et Fils. A year later, I joined TBWA Paris, where I spent six years working with major clients like SNCF, McDonald’s, Amnesty International, Nissan, and GMF Insurance. In 2007, I was recognized as “Copywriter of the Year” by CB News.

In 2010, I took on the role of Senior Creative Copywriter at Leo Burnett Paris, working with clients such as Fiat, Charal, the Mimi Foundation, and Samsung. Five years later, in 2015, I stepped into my first Creative Director role at Fred & Farid, where I won 7 Cannes Lions and managed international accounts like Club Med.

I joined HUMANSEVEN (Havas Group) as a Creative Director in 2017 and later became Executive Creative Director at Havas Paris. In September 2022, I was appointed Chief Creative Officer at Havas Paris, where I currently lead a team of 130 people, including 40 creatives.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a diverse array of clients, including KFC, Club Med, HP, Société Générale, Prodiss, Samsung, Nissan, GMF Insurance, SNCF, the Mimi Foundation, Charal, PlayStation, Pedigree, Nivea, Amnesty International, and McDonald’s.
