Pointless drama aside, Paul Tilley is dead. Paul was the creative director at DDB in Chicago and on Friday he decided to jump out of a Fairmont Hotel window at 6:25 PM, plunging to his death. His death hasn’t yet been ruled a suicide and is still under investigation according to the Chicago police.
Whether or not Tilley was a nice man, a bad man, a good boss, a bad boss, a jerk or the most wonderful man in the world, his death is a tragic loss of human life. A loss to DDB. A loss to his family.
MarketingVOX reports Tilley was one of the creatives behind Dell’s “Dude, You’re Gettin’ a Dell” campiagn which was partially responsible for boosting Dell from number four to number one in at-home PC sales. That certainly can’t be all bad.
Paul was 40 and leaves behind his wife and two children.
