When the news on Anand ‘Andy’ Halve’s passing away started reaching out to the advertising and marketing fraternity via Twitter and the social media on Wednesday, there was much shock.  For brand consultants and planners, Andy was god, a mentor and a friend.

 

Here are some tributes to the one of the industry’s finest brains:

Anand, undoubtedly, was the brainiest trainee I ever had. In a world of copy cats, Anand was an original mind.  It’s a great loss for me personally and above all to the advertising and marketing industry at large

Shocked beyond words to hear about Andy. Condolences to Andy’s family at home and Chlorophyll.

Account Planning is now a respected profession in India. Anand Halve was one of the people who helped make that so.
