Lowe's Dominic Stallard heads to Saatchi & Saatchi as ECD

The Singapore-based Stallard will replace Bruce Matchett, who retired from the agency in December 2013. He joins as executive creative director, reporting to Paul Roebuck, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi Singapore and Malaysia.

“He’s got a fantastic track record of producing work that catches the attention of clients and consumers and wins awards on the global stage,” Roebuck said.

Lowe Singapore confirmed that Stallard will be leaving the agency in April. He spent nearly 10 years with the network, based in Dubai, Thailand and Singapore at various points. Stallard joined in 2010 working alongside Clinton Manson, where he led Unilever’s regional account for Lowe Singapore. He was also the global ECD on the Close Up account.

“Dominic is first and foremost a friend, a great partner and most importantly an amazing creative leader,” said Rupen Desai, regional president, Lowe Asia-Pacific. “Together, we have worked for Lowe and Partners across multiple geographies and he has helped build a strong agency in Singapore.”

Desai did not reveal Stallard’s replacement but said the company has “some interesting plans” for the role.
