Wayne Naidoo is the group CEO of Lowe Bull (www.lowebull.com), having taken the reins at the helm of the agency in 2009. He is also the chairperson for the ACA (Association for Communication and Advertising; www.acasa.co.za) and a board director for the AAA School of Advertising.

With an inherently inquisitive spirit and a taste for learning, Wayne was a student of several disciplines following high school, including sport marketing management, women and computer literacy. His curiosity led him through the halls of a law firm, up the ranks of the tourism industry at Captour, and into marketing as the marketing manager for the Cape Town 2004 Olympic Bid Committee.

Always on the lookout for a new challenge, Wayne was seduced by the creative calling of Lowe Bull, and joined the group soon after its inception in 1996. Starting out as an account manager, Wayne has fulfilled various roles within the agency - from account director to business development director - responsible for managing premium brands such as Nike, SAB, Metropolitan, Coca-Cola, Unilever, J&J, Nandos and Heineken.

In 2007, Wayne was appointed as group MD. Under his stewardship, the agency achieved the number one ranking creatively in South Africa, and also became the only SA agency to be ranked within the top 50 best agencies worldwide by the Gunn Report in 2008.

In addition to being the head of the Lowe Bull family, Wayne is married to Nino and is the father of ten-year old Reed and twin daughters Morgan and Tatum. He has a great love for life, friends, and chilled alcoholic beverages.
