Nathan Lennon and Dave Gibson have recently returned from a two year stint in London, most notably at BBH, working on Vodafone and British Airways. Upon arriving back in Sydney they did a freelance spell at Publicis Mojo before making the trip down to The Rocks and delightedly joined Lowe and Rivet.

Copywriter Lennon enthuses “We’re incredibly happy to come in out of the rain, as it were, and nestle into a permanent role at Lowe Rivet, in what is an extremely exciting time for the agency. There’s a proper sense of opportunity here with a portfolio of great brands, a brilliant CD in Dave (Johnson), who has boundless creative energy and, refreshingly, an uncompromising shelter of support from the management right through to the account and strategic teams. There’s a heritage of brave, award-winning work in the Sydney office, and this is reflected in the confidence the (Lowe) network itself has in us to continue and build on this and we’d be immensely pleased if we can help make this happen.”

After a very busy first quarter the teams at Lowe and Rivet Sydney took to Sydney Harbour on two sailing boats.

Afterwards we all settled into a few cold ones at Walsh Bay Wharf.

Lynx and Lowe & Rivet have made male soap use a crime and created a squad of beautiful women charged with reducing male soap use and turning guys on to Lynx Shower Gel.

We launched the Lynx Anti Soap Squad (L.A.S.S.) on radio and the web, using these mediums as the main drivers for a huge awareness campaign targeting a notoriously difficult group to reach — males aged 18 to 24.
