Lowe has promoted the new-business director, Jonathan Rigby, to its

head of account management position.

At the same time, the board account director, Sarah Gold, has been

promoted to the new-business director role to fill the gap left by

Rigby.

Rigby has been Lowe's new-business director for two years and in that

time has presided over new-business wins including Orange, HSBC and Sure

for Men.

Chris Thomas, the chief executive of Lowe, said: "Both Sarah and

Jonathan display constant commitment to the philosophy of Lowe. They are

both brand evangelists."

Rigby is taking on the role of head of account management from Mark

Cadman, who was promoted to the deputy managing director role last

year.

"It's great that a top agency like Lowe continues to provide opportunity

for 'Young Turks' like Sarah and me," Rigby said.

Gold, who has been with the agency for ten years, takes on the role of

the new-business director immediately. Gold has worked on a number of

the agency's clients, including Olympus, Reebok and Orange.

"Sarah will bring the passion and tenacity to our new-business effort

that she brings to her account responsibilities," Thomas added.

Lowe hired Rigby as its new-business director in May 2000. He quit from

WCRS, where he was a senior account man, and worked on pitches for

Anchor and Buzz.
