Lowe resigns Stella Artois account after 26 years

LONDON - InBev is looking for a new agency to handle its global Stella Artois account, following news that Lowe has resigned the business after 26 years.

Lowe resigns Stella Artois account after 26 years
The news marks the conclusion of heated conversations this week following InBev's decision to hand the launch brief for its new 4 per cent variant to Mother. 

The decision sees the end of one of the most fruitful partnerships in advertising history.

Stella Artois' "reassuringly expensive" endline was first conceived in 1981, before Frank Lowe quit previous incumbent Collett Dickinson Pearce to set up his own agency.

The strategy has subsequently given rise to such classics as the Jean de Florette-inspired series of commercials.
