Winning Havas Boost has been game changing for me in 2025 — and the deadline for the next round is 31 October 2025.
When I started Aim Sky High Talent/ The Purpose Agency – rooted in Manchester and with a strong social-mobility mission – I never anticipated the change it would create both for others and me personally, and Havas Play UK and Havas Media Network have really supported me in building on that.
✅ It has helped me scale the business: we’ve been able to bring in a talented fractional Financial Director, which means I now have the strategic support I’ve needed to explore new opportunities and take big steps.
✅ We’re currently rebranding to better reflect our evolved mission and the breadth of the work we now do – from women’s sport talent agency to creator-brands and social impact.
✅ Most importantly, the programme has taught me a lot about how to leverage media, partnerships and strategic support to amplify purpose-driven growth.
If you are a business:
📍based in the North West (or Yorkshire / North East) with ambitious growth plans
🌱 between 2–5 years old
⭐ and have a purpose beyond profit (especially if you come from an under-represented background or have faced access challenges)
… then I encourage you to apply for Havas Boost. The deadline is 31 October 2025. I genuinely can't recommend it enough. The energy and enthusiasm from the whole team has been so overwhelming. It's not often multinationals come to the north of England to support us. We have so much talent here and I'm really hoping that everyone takes the time to apply it really is once in a lifetime type of support.
