NEW YORK Paul Hammersley, the former U.S. chief executive of Lowe, has accepted an offer to become chairman and CEO of DDB’s London office, DDB confirmed on Wednesday.

“This is a great opportunity that I could not turn down,” Hammersley said, in an e-mail. “DDB is a very strong network and the London agency has been one of the most successful and respected agencies in the world over the last two decades.”

Hammersley, who left Lowe last summer after 10 years with the Interpublic Group shop, will start at Omnicom Group’s DDB next month.
