i have been asked to justify why Len Fulford should be mentioned on wikipedia so i shall attempt.
He is mentioned on Roger Tompkins wikipedia page.
Having founded BFCS production company, not allowing him up on wikipedia would be undermining the famous cannes advertising awards festival for which the company won its most prestigious awards (palme d'or) 6 times in a row.
Len Fulford himself won awards at cannes amongst other places and photographed celebrities and models including a Beatles girlfriend which is how they got to know them. He thus inadvertently inspired one of the greatest songs of all time (I am the Walrus), whose lyrics has befuddled many. He is thus a key component in the conception of a landmark song, a role which cannot be neglected.
Being associated to one of the most famous add campaigns of all time is also notable. His work in this campaign alone was viewed by millions and touched millions and is mentioned in countless literature. He was an artist and if a film director is worthy of wikipedia, it is my belief that a commercial director is even more so as it is he who realistically inspires the day to day life of all those who watch tv.
