Lee Garfinkel’s eight-year run as chief creative officer at Lowe Lintas & Partners is coming to an end. Garfinkel, who was promoted to CEO just seven months ago, is expected to leave the agency within weeks, sources said.

Garfinkel, 45, has several op-tions, including an offer to stay within the IPG family, run-ning his own spinoff boutique, according to sources. While that appeared to be the likeliest outcome late last week, he could still leave outright or join another shop.

Executives from the Lowe Group are looking to relieve Gar-finkel of his CEO-related administrative chores while retaining him as a creative talent, sources said.
