Australian corporate PR, social, influencer and experiential agency, Havas Red has been named the agency of record for Certis Security, following a competitive tender process.

First established in Australia in 2007, Certis Security, which is an integrated security and technology solutions provider owned by Temasak Holdings in Singapore, is now ramping up a revitalisation of the brand across the Australian region. Havas Red is charged with enhancing Certis' brand awareness and developing its services across the security and smart buildings sectors.

Havas Red Head of Technology and Innovation, Myrna Van Pelt, said the team is excited by the opportunity to work with a brand that is at a "critical growth stage".

"We see strong alignment in the way that Certis is pivoting and growing at scale, underpinned by the innovation and technology integration across all its services," she said.

"Havas Red too is rapidly reinvesting in talent and sectors across our technology and business division, so our growth mindsets are in synch. This partnership, appointed as external comms counsel on this part of their journey, is hugely energising for our team."
