Lowe has a complex history tracing back to the foundation of Lintas in 1899. Lintas (Lever International Advertising) was one of the world's first advertising agencies and following some large mergers and rapid growth in the 70s and 80s became a dominant and famous force in the advertising field with accounts such as IBM, Mastercard, Johnson and Johnson and Unilever. In 1981 Sir Frank Lowe set up Lowe Howard-Spink developing world famous campaigns for Absolut, Birds Eye and Heineken while growing rapidly. Following mergers with the then Ammirati Puris Lintas, Lowe and Partners became the fourth largest advertising agency in the world in 2000.[1]
In 2007 Lowe were the 10th most awarded agency in the Gunn Report having taken home the Integrated Grand Prix and Gold Lions at the Cannes Lions, along with golds at the One Show, Clio and Eurobest awards. Lowe's Digital teams continue to develop award winning work, recently picking up 8 Golds at the New York Innovative advertising festival for its work on Artois.
