History
The company was created in 2006 by retired Lowe Worldwide executive Sir Frank Lowe and Paul Weinberger. It was named after the route that Dorothy refused to follow in The Wizard of Oz Lowe retired in 2009, while remaining a shareholder in the company, which continued to be managed by former colleagues.
In 2011, Red Brick Road merged with its sister company Ruby, whose founders replaced the core team. The company suffered a financial setback in 2012 when they lost the advertising contract to Tesco, which resulted in Weinberger's departure from the company. The agency's new management team claims to have a positive outlook about its future.
