Seems like Interpublic is getting very pissed at Frank Lowe’s poaching of accounts and personnel from his old agency. So, they’re trying to seek an injunction from an arbitration panel. Interpublic will pursue a claim before the American Arbitration Association in New York, the company said. Lowe sold his company to Interpublic in 1990 "for tens of millions of dollars," IPG said. Clever sod! Sir Frank is starting another new agency now that his two year non-compete clause has run out. He’s already picked up the Tesco grocery chain account in Britain, which is worth zillions and will probably cripple his old shop. Interpublic will ask for monetary compensation and try to keep any employees seeking to join Frank Lowe's new firm "to their full notice period," it said. I say – No chance. It never worked with the Saatchi’s, it won’t work with Frank. He’s way too fucking clever for those moribund IPG wankers. Best part of the whole thing is the disclosure that Sir Frank still collects a huge pension from IPG. Wonder if they’ll stop paying that!
In spite of his legal problems, Sir Frank's music career is thriving!
