In the middle of last year, the Lowe and Lintas networks merged to form Lowe Lintas & Partners. With branches in 80 countries, the agency group is now the fourth-largest network in the world.for the Zurich branch of Lowe|GGK, this merger will now result in the renaming to Lowe Lintas GGK, which was already announced at the time of the merger.the simultaneous resignation of the long-standing CEO Martin Denecke from the operational management comes as more of a surprise. The "Advertiser of the Year 1996", who has managed the agency since 1991, will remain with Lowe Lintas GGK as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors and will also continue to oversee a number of mandates in the role of Creative Director.
The vacant position of CEO will be taken over by 48-year-old agency co-owner Kurt Schmid, who has been Managing Director of the agency since the merger with the Lowe Group in 1998.
Mark Stahel becomes the strong man of creation. The 38-year-old ADC member acquired a majority stake in GGK Basel in a management buyout in 1994 together with Denecke, Schmid and Mathias Meier, who died in 1999. Under his leadership as Creative Director, numerous award-winning campaigns have been created over the past ten years.
The Executive Board will be expanded with 35-year-old Daniel Keller, who took over the role of Agency Manager in June of this year, and 44-year-old Peter Bächtiger, who will be responsible for finances as CFO (ew).
