Note from John Parker

Ben was my creative partner at Wieden. His leadership and writing talent were unparalleled, but what really stood out was the kind of person he was. He had an incredible wealth of knowledge but was remarkably down-to-earth, always making time for others.

I can’t believe he’s really gone. What a huge loss. His legacy will live on through his wonderful family and all the amazing work he created, but also in the lives he touched and the kindness he showed to everyone around him. Working with Ben was an honor, and knowing him was a privilege. You'll be sorely missed, Ben, but never forgotten.
