NEW YORK, May 2, 2023 — Red Havas Group, the micronetwork of borderless merged media agencies, today announced the global launch of Peaks, a multichannel executive branding service designed to help C-suite executives develop a personal brand that’s authentic, compelling and aligned with their corporate identity.
First launched in North America in 2013, Peaks works with senior executives to strategically create and develop leadership brands that speak to desired constituencies. The practice’s expansion into a global offering is the result of increasing demand for global approaches to purpose-driven strategic communications.
“Now is a critical time for leaders to build and maintain a positive reputation,” said James Wright, global CEO of the Red Havas Group and global chairman of the Havas PR Global Collective. “There are ever-increasing expectations that executives speak to how their companies are staying aligned to ideals around purpose, and that’s being magnified by the 24-7, multichannel news environment.”
Peaks offers valuable services customized for each client, across a wide spectrum of executive personal branding needs, such as:
- Enhanced awareness of personal brand, PR and communications impact, which will result in personal, professional and corporate alignment.
- Brand expression and communications plan documents, including personalized principles, guidance and timetables covering the key action points.
- Cause profile development, including charity and nonprofit board involvement recommendations and introductions.
- A multi-channel program, including social media, to launch personal brands online.
- Representation for the speaking circuit, including identifying the appropriate circuit and the right public speaking opportunities.
“While C-suite executives are our primary market for Peaks, we also work with subject matter experts on their personal brand and thought leadership strategy as well as help the rising stars in organizations prepare to take on larger and more public-facing roles,” said Linda Descano, CFA®, executive vice president and the Peaks practice head in the U.S.
In 2022, Red Havas Group launched Red Impact, a global offering that brings together its ESG expertise and capabilities from across the world. Other global offerings include Red Havas Health, a specialized offering focused on health and wellness, and Red Connect, a B2B content marketing practice.
The Red Havas Group has 25 offices across 14 markets and was launched in 2019 as the global PR arm of the Havas Group. Red Havas employs a strategic model called “merged media” that replicates the convergence of media consumption — blending traditional and digital publishing, content, social media and data in a way that it believes defines the future of PR as a category.
