About us.

W Conran Design, established in 1998 by Denis Gancel and Gilles Deléris, serves as the French branding and design agency for the Havas Group. It is a founding member of the Conran Design Group network, which also operates in London, Mumbai, and New York. With a team of approximately one hundred employees in Paris, the agency continues to provide strategic and creative consulting services for brands.

Driven by the belief that design is a catalyst for sustainable progress, we view brands as engines for positive contributions capable of reinvigorating the world in unique ways. Now more than ever, brands serve as catalysts for change and sources of pride for internal stakeholders, emotional connections for consumers, and drivers of growth for markets and shareholders alike. Brands prompting reflection, laughter, resonance, and dreams; occasionally, they even chart new paths.

Against a backdrop of external brand realities and wider societal pressures, we help define who you are, why you exist and what you mean to your audiences.
