The team on the account will be led by Nair, with Arun Raman as the strategic planner. Subramani Ramachandran and Rajeev Hajare will head creative and client servicing, respectively.

"Lowe's strategic approach towards the brief, creative solutions to building the brand and 360- degree capabilities helped to swing the decision in their favour," says Navin Nair, executive director, Mayden Pharma.

"With the brand insights from Lowe Lintas, we also intend to introduce a number of significant innovations in our ayurvedic range of products," he adds.

Mayden Pharma currently operates in 14 states and trades through the ethical route for its branded penicillin range. The company intends to go both the ethical and OTC way for its ayurvedic range by March 2010.
