NEW YORK After a year as a consultant to the agency he started in 1981, Lowe founder Frank Lowe is severing ties to the operation and assuming the honorary title of chairman emeritus, the agency said on Friday. At the same time, other top executives at the Interpublic Group shop are adding titles and leadership duties.

Lowe, 63, assumed the consulting role in January after relinquishing the title of worldwide chairman. The agency’s worldwide chief executive title had been shifted from Lowe to Jerry Judge in 2001.
