History
editRepublica Havas was founded on November 13, 2006, by Jorge Plasencia[1] and Luis Casamayor as an agency focused on helping brands reach consumers across languages, traditions, and cultures.
Republica Havas was ranked for five consecutive years on Inc. Magazine's Inc. 5000 annual list of America's fastest growing private companies,[2] servicing clients in the U.S. and around the world. In January 2010, Republica relocated to its own facility, The Republica Building,[3] on Miami's Coral Way.
In September 2018, Republica announced an investment from Havas Group, a division of Vivendi, the global conglomerate that includes Universal Music Group, Canal+, Gameloft, Editis, and Dailymotion, among others. As part of the new partnership with Havas, Republica was renamed Republica Havas[4] and according to Advertising Age,[5] as part of the deal, the agency became Havas North America's lead multicultural agency.
