Billy Tiegs, a veteran of the Canadian marketing business who spent the last two decades in the industry, died in his sleep last Sunday while visiting relatives in Windsor, Ont. Since January 2000 Tiegs had been running TiegsMedia, where he showcased his talents as an accomplished planner and buyer. Prior to opening TiegsMedia, Tiegs spent over 18 years building experience and establishing his reputation in the Canadian marketing industry. Over the years Tiegs logged hours with some of the top names in the industry including BBDO, Young & Rubicam and J. Walter Thompson as well as at several media buying services and creative agencies.
Tiegs leaves his parents, William and Marion, his sister Trish and his brother Tim. Cremation has already taken place. A dedication service for a tree planted in Tiegs’ memory will take place later this year.
