Sashi Shankar, CMO, Idea Cellular said, “Lowe Lintas has played a big role in making brand Idea a household name. They’ve been with us right through the journey and created some iconic messages over the years. The evolving dynamics of telecom has made it necessary for us to think afresh. I am sure Lowe Lintas will continue to thrive as one of India’s top agencies, and we wish them every success in the future.”

is never easy. But we are convinced that this is the right decision, at the right time, for both Idea
and us. We will follow their successes as keenly as we’ve contributed to them thus far. Brands
are created to out-last their creators and we sincerely wish Idea Cellular a future that’s brighter
than their glorious past.”
