In his new role, Payne will help clients develop integrated communications campaigns that raise profiles, strengthen reputations and support commercial growth.
Lewis Lowery founder Aspinall said: “Leif is an outstanding account manager who combines media nous with creativity and exceptional client management skills.
“Leif’s appointment is another key step in our continued success as a business. I am over the moon that he has joined the Lewis Lowery team.”
The latest appointment follows a period of sustained growth for Lewis Lowery Communications, with the agency continuing to invest in experienced communications professionals to meet increasing client demand.
Lewis Lowery specialises in delivering creative, commercially focused PR campaigns for ambitious businesses, combining journalistic expertise with strategic insight to build reputation, influence audiences and drive measurable business growth. Announcing her new venture in March, Aspinall said: “Too many businesses settle for coverage that looks great in a scrapbook but does nothing for the balance sheet. At Lewis Lowery, we are unapologetically commercial. We marry journalistic credentials with sharp business nous to deliver campaigns that are creative, compelling and, above all else, commercially successful.
“We work with ambitious businesses who want more than just noise – they want communications that sharpen their reputation, support growth and deliver a genuine strategic advantage.”
