Google executive dies at Cannes Lions festival
Posted in: UncategorizedAdland can confirm that a report broken this afternoon by the Guardian is true; a Google exec has been involved in an accident at the Cannes Lions Festival, which has resulted in a death.
We understand that the exec is a member of Google’s UK team.
A spokesperson for Google’s UK Press Office told Adland, “We are not releasing the name and any other details out of respect for the family. We hope you will join us in trying to help in this hard time.”
Tragic news, we are deeply sorry to hear of it. Any loss like this is, as always, a blow for the creative community.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends at this time.
