After months of searching, Lowe Manila has a new ECD. Leigh Reyes — who won the country’s first-ever Gold CLIO in 2007, has served on the Cannes Radio jury and co-chairs this year’s ARAW Awards — takes on Steve Clay’s old job next month. Reyes is outgoing Executive Creative Director at Y&R Philippines.
According to Y&R President Chiqui Lara, “Leigh told me about her plans to leave more than two weeks ago, but only just made her final decision. It’s a great move for her. We’ve been friends for 21 years and worked together for six. It’s been a great ride.” Lara is now looking for an ECD who is both hardworking and inspiring. (Aren’t we all?)
For her part, Lowe Manila CEO Mariles Gustilo told adobo, "I am so pleased to have Leigh on board; her impeccable creative credentials, her new business know-how, her passion for all things interactive are exactly what the agency needs today.”
