Frank Lowe (advertiser)

He first rose to fame running Collett Dickenson Pearce, which he built into one of the best known agencies in the United Kingdom.

[3][4][5] In the 2001 Birthday Honours, Lowe was knighted for services to charity and advertising, allegedly less than a year after donating £2m to the country's first City Academy, Capital City Academy, in North West London.

[6] He quit his eponymous agency in 2003, becoming its chairman emeritus, after falling out with parent Interpublic,[7] which had acquired Lowe Worldwide in 1990.

After fulfilling a two-year non-compete clause, Lowe founded the Red Brick Road integrated agency, taking its name from the route that Dorothy didn't follow in the Wizard of Oz.

[16] Lowe is the only account manager to have won The President's Award from the Design and Art Direction Association of London.
