This fall it revived its NFL partnership with Travis Kelce, Christian McCaffrey and Dak Prescott taking center stage in the campaign to spotlight the home improvement chain’s customer service, app offerings and more.Behind it all is Jennifer Wilson, a long-time Lowe’s marketer who took on the CMO role in the spring. She brings nearly two decades of experience at the brand and recently on-boarded a new creative partner, Dentsu Creative. In this episode, we’ll dive into the strategy behind the loyalty program, why Lowe’s is tapping sports stars and how Lowe’s has created a solid marriage with Dentsu Creative. Listen and subscribe to wherever you get your podcasts. campaignlive.com Music - Take you Out by Lucid Tides, courtesy of Triple Scoop.  What we know about advertising, you should know about advertising.
