At Lowe New York, we believe the greatest service we can render a client is the power of a High Value Idea. High Value Ideas are marketing assets capable of crossing cultural, physical and media boundaries, and have profound economic impact for our clients. The iconic Milk Mustache campaign has helped to reverse a 30-year sales decline. “Having a Baby Changes Everything” has helped Johnson & Johnson maintain its position as America’s Most Trusted Company, and Saab’s “Born from Jets” is now the 6th most recognized automotive tagline and has been called the “best tagline in automotive history” by Advertising Age. Our business is creativity. Brilliant work happens when you put talent, ambition and focus together in a collaborative culture. To develop High Value Ideas, we look at things sideways, backwards and sometimes upside down rather than accepting the first solution. We have a sense of urgency and a sense of purpose. This has helped us to build a unique culture in a New York agency. One that combines the talent of a large, multinational network with the spirit of a start-up. One that attracts clients because we don’t accept conventional wisdom or formulaic approaches. Lowe strives to be a company comprised of talent intensive, ideas driven communities. We are open-minding our business, and casting the net broadly for talent of all types. Diversity is woven into Lowe, and we strive to create a culture of inclusion through recruiting initiatives, professional development programs, and partnerships with outside organizations.
