Havas Bolsters Ecommerce Arm With Expert Edge Acquisition

Purchase comes as agency holding groups adapt to a new age of commerce

With Euromonitor pitting the global e-commerce market to expand by $1 trillion by 2025, Havas Group has acquired consultancy Expert Edge to boost its credentials in the space.

The London-based business will bolster Havas Market, the network’s dedicated shopping agency which first launched in the U.K. back in 2020—and has since expanded into an additional 20 countries including Australia, India and Singapore.

Expert Edge, which was founded by former Amazon execs Alex Walker and David Jennison in 2016, brings to Havas Market expertise in strategic consulting and operational capabilities in e-commerce.
