History

Lowe Lintas began in 1939 as Lintas, India, the Indian division of Lintas (acronym for Lever International Advertising), which itself was established in 1899, later a part of Unilever. In 2000, the company changed its name to Lowe Lintas following the global merger of the IPG networks, Ammirati Puris Lintas and the Lowe Group in November 1999. Lowe Lintas India was then helmed by Prem Mehta, with Executive Creative Directors R. Balakrishnan (Balki) and K. m. Sridhar leading the creative function. At the time, with billings of over $12 billion, Lowe Lintas was ranked as the fourth-largest global agency group worldwide, with offices in 80 countries, while Lowe Lintas & Partners was the second-largest advertising agency in India,[1][2], with a turnover of Rs. 750 crores.[3] In 2007, Lintas India sold the 51% stake it owned in Lowe Lintas to its international partner, the Interpublic Group (IPG). Since then, the agency has been a part of the Lowe Worldwide network, which in turn is held by the Interpublic Group.[4]

Lowe Lintas has produced India's first television commercial, and also introduced the discipline of Channel Planning to India. It has given India some of its most famous advertising talent, including Shyam Benegal, Gerson da Cunha, Rama Bijapurkar, Gautam Rajadhyaksha, Alyque Padamsee and Sumantra Ghoshal.
