Sad news as the man who created what people may remember as the first proper viral ad that went global, has passed. Paul Silburn worked at TBWA London when he wrote the kung-fu fighting bear for John West. #adland pic.twitter.com/gtSW38taCV

Incredibly sad news about one of the nicest, most talented people in the history of advertising. I was fortunate to have the privilege of getting @PaulSilburn‘s words down in two long podcasts. Have a listen: https://t.co/UEWQ7fZshS RIP, fella.

Today we lost Paul Silburn. A man I’m honoured and flattered to call my friend. A writing talent far too good for Adland. Farewell, buddy. It’s raining in my heart. #TopBombing

We’ve lost, in my opinion, the greatest (and certainly funniest) UK creative ever. Gave us our first job. Gave the industry the most enviable reel, possibly, of all time. Stella, John West, John Smith’s. And the rest. So fucking sad @PaulSilburn

Ugh. Thousands of miles from London but heard @PaulSilburn just passed away. Working with him at TBWA London was the best. It was a privilege to work with him, made me laugh, mad with frustration, taught me plenty. “Oi Badger, can’t you tell the client to…”
