I am so very sorry to learn the loss of our dear Barbara. One of the kindest souls ever. Barbara ran the media group at Saatchi for the Johnson & Johnson account. I held the same position at a competing IPG agency. We were put together for “healthy competition” by our client but they didn’t count on us bonding thick as thieves and playfully plotting against them. Sometimes we had to be separated at meetings bc we became troublemakers together. But we created great work together, along with the amazing folks at J&J, and this time period remains one of my favorite professional memories. Barbara was a brilliant, unassuming woman, deserving of 10 times more accolades than could possibly be showered upon her. Yet she deflected it all.
I will truly miss her. The world lost an angel.
