RIP: Paul Arden

Paul Arden, ad exec and author of It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be, dies at 67. More here. He will be remembered as one of the great characters of the industry. [via link]

I had the great pleasure/fear working under Paul at Saatchis for 6 years.
He was inspirational.
He was terrifying.
He was subborn.
He was passionate.
He was an account mans nightmare.
He was a creatives dream.
He was a pain in the arse.
He was a great tutor.
He was brilliant.
Most of all, he was a good bloke.
The world’s a duller place without Paul.
