We are excited to announce the return of Lowell Franko as agency executive vice president and head of client services. Lowell brings nearly 20 years of experience as an agency partner  more than 12 of those years in the pharma and healthcare industries – and he was one the of original Involve associates when the agency was founded in 2010.

In addition to his early work with Involve founder Craig Lerner on clients like Gildan, Technogym, NAPA Auto Parts, Cooper Tire and 5-hour Energy, Lowell has worked with several top ten pharma companies including AbbVie, Merck, Pfizer, and GSK across dozens of disease states, primarily in Oncology. Lowell has led product launches, developed national campaigns, and created patient educational programs. He will provide strategic direction and oversight to the Involve team and all agency clients.

“It’s really exciting to be back at the agency that was key to my development as a strategic marketing professional,” said Franko. The Involve environment always challenged me to look at every angle, and to find solutions in sometimes unconventional places. I look forward to once again facing those challenges, and the new places they will take the agency and our clients.”

Lowell has built a reputation for fostering close, honest relationships with clients and a results driven approach that ensures strategies and tactics are the right fit for their objectives. According to Lowell, his is favorite part of the job is “undoubtedly, time spent with clients and the Involve team developing unique, thoughtful solutions to marketing challenges.”

“I can’t talk about the early days of Involve without talking about Lowell,” said Craig Lerner, president, Involve. “His big-picture thinking and willingness to always try things that haven’t been done before in the space are the essence of what we strive to provide all our clients. It means so much to have Lowell return in a leadership position overseeing account management and how the agency overall delivers on promises we make to our clients to be helpful, honest and human.”

Lowell holds a Bachelor of Science from Ohio University and resides in the Columbus area with his wife Heidi, his two sons Noah and Henry, and his dog, Kirby.
