The first farmer's market was set up in early October, with Shekomeko Farms bringing in the produce. Havas hopes to expand and bring in more producers soon.

Bernstein believes that eating healthy, meditation and focusing on the analog are all important and help aid the creative process. "In order to drive creativity, you have to have a whole lifestyle dedicated to it," he said.

Here's a portrait of Bernstein in Havas New York's Analog Room. Promoting holistic living is also a way for Bernstein to attract like-minded talent to Havas. "This is a people's business, so it’s important to think about how you can engage with people," he said.

Havas is also trying to move away from traditional pantry delivery and catering services, experimenting with chefs such as Joshua Atwood to bring organic, healthy food to its employees. Here Atwood is pictured in the agency's "Magic Kitchen."

One the day we visited, Atwood had quite a spread ready. Here is a dish with winter vegetables with cured kefir lime, sherry vinegar and toasted hemp seeds. Most of the produce came from the agency's own Farmer's Market.

Atwood also made some celery root soup with chestnut creme and breadcrumbs, as well as some patatas bravas.

All of Havas' 22 global offices are called "Villages," signifying that they function as integrated units rather than separate departments for media, creative and strategy. Havas New York's floors are all connected with easy-to-navigate and sleek internal staircases.
