Adman Vladimir Dead at 76

Andy Vladimir, a onetime Madison Avenue adman in the mid-1960s who went on to become a well-known name in South Florida, died at his Coconut Grove home of muscular dystrophy on Dec. 15 at age 76.
 
A native of Scarsdale, N.Y., Vladimir went to work for his father Irwin Vladimir, a New York adman, after graduating from Yale, where he helped start the university’s first television station. After the stint at Gotham Vladimir Advertising, the young ad exec set up his own agency, Vladimir International in Puerto Rico.
