MUMBAI: After the recent news of the global union of IPG agencies Mullen, and Lowe and Partners (to form Mullen Lowe Group), the India operation of the network, Lowe Lintas + Partners has been rebranded as Mullen Lowe Lintas Group. 

As part of this move, the Group has also gone in for a two-creative-agency structure. In addition to Lowe Lintas, the group will be soon launching an independent creative agency called Mullen Lintas.

Lowe Lintas joint national creative directors Amer Jaleel and Arun Iyer have been promoted to chief creative officers. While Iyer takes on the role of CCO at Lowe Lintas, Jaleel will take on the role of chairman and CCO of Mullen Lintas. 

R.Balakrishnan (Balki) and Joseph George (Joe) will continue as group chairman and group CEO respectively, of Mullen Lowe Lintas Group. 

Iyer said, “I’ve spent most of my career at Lowe Lintas and have thoroughly enjoyed the journey so far. Right now, we’ve got great momentum on all fronts and we’re committed to making it better. I am delighted at the opportunity to run the creative function at the agency in the rapidly evolving marketing landscape, and confident that we will keep Lowe Lintas ahead of that curve.”

Jaleel added, “I’ve always worked in large and established setups. To be entrusted with building a new agency from scratch is both humbling and exciting at the same time. I am looking forward to the journey of growing and nurturing Mullen Lintas to fulfill the group’s ‘large agency’ ambition for this independent venture.”
