Havas has acquired Unnest, a French data consulting and engineering company, to bolster its global data and technology expertise and accelerate its Converged.AI strategy. Founded in 2021 by Nicolas Chollet and Mehdi Moreau, Unnest specializes in cloud and data engineering, AI, and enterprise data solutions across sectors including retail, beauty, luxury, travel, and automotive.
The acquisition integrates Unnest into Havas Media Network’s data and analytics division, CSA, and will help drive advanced data and AI deployments across markets. The move creates a combined team of 120 data specialists in France and strengthens Havas’ Business Science practice.
Leadership from both companies highlighted the strategic fit, citing the opportunity to scale AI-driven solutions and support clients navigating digital and business transformation. Unnest will continue operating with its own identity while gaining access to Havas’ global partnerships and client network.
