Lemz overgenomen door Havas Group

Lemz wordt samengevoegd met het eveneens in Amsterdam gevestigde Havas Boondoggle. De naam van het fusiebureau wordt Havas Lemz. Willem van der Schoot, ceo van Lemz, zal het 80 medewerkers tellende bureau leiden.

Yannick Bolloré, ceo van Havas Group: 'We are very excited to welcome Lemz to the Havas family. The Dutch market is one of the most international and dynamic markets in Europe and many of our key clients are based in The Netherlands. Lemz’s agile organizational model fits perfectly with our Together strategy; we share the same values which include innovation, entrepreneurship, generosity and unfailing commitment to our clients. Combining our strengths will allow us to better achieve our mission to create meaningful connections between people and brands.'

Willem van der Schoot, ceo van Lemz: 'Over the past two years we carefully explored our options to become part of a bigger group and to increase our creative impact. We found in Havas a strong meeting of minds. It is a huge opportunity for Lemz, its talents and clients to benefit from the strategic advantages of a world leader in communications and its global resources. We will be better together.'
