The troubles in the Lowe Empire are getting worse. Interpublic will try to impose a one year non-compete stipulation on Paul Weinberger (The CD of Lowe Worldwide, who has quit to join Sir Frank’s new agency.) This in an attempt to stop him resuming creative control of the £50m Tesco account at the start-up shop. Meanwhile, Sir Frank is now threatening to sue IPG for defamation of character! And as if IPG wasn’t deep enough in the doodoo, InBev (the world’s largest beer brewer) is gearing up to review the premium lager brand Stella Artois' global account, held by Lowe Worldwide. Rumors are, it might just go to Sir Frank’s new agency! This is better than the day-time soaps… Stay tuned.
A Stella Artois ad from Bucharest... Think about it!
I really think Sir Frank has the makings of a terrific reality show here. He should definitely leverage the controversy. I mean, if Donny Deutsch can have a talk show certainly Sir Frank can have a reality show.
Maybe he should call it "The ADpprentice."
