Ruben Igielko-Herrlich, a veteran film marketer who co-founded the global entertainment marketing group PropagandaGEM, has died of brain cancer. He was 62.
His family said he died March 7 after a four-year battle with glioblastoma.
Igielko co-founded PropagandaGEM in 1991 with his longtime friend and business partner, Anders Granath. During the next three decades, the company grew to have 10 offices in Europe, Asia, South America and the U.S.
Among its most recognized brand integrations are The Matrix placing Nokia’s flip phone into the hands of Keanu Reeves and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’s chase scenes with Tom Cruise behind the wheel of a BMW. Igielko was the go-to liaison connecting Hollywood’s major studios and celebrities with his clients which, in addition to BMW and Nokia, included such prominent luxury brands such as Gucci, Bulgari, Piaget and Lamborghini.
Igielko was born on March 15, 1960, in Havana, Cuba, where his mother had fled following the Holocaust. When he was just 10 months old the Fidel Castro regime came to power, and his family emigrated to Switzerland. Raised in Geneva, he moved after college to New York City, where he worked with luxury brands such as Tiffany and Bulgari. Unsatisfied with corporate life, he moved back to Geneva at 30. There he met Granath, with whom he would found PropagandaGEM.
Igielko is survived by his wife, Dr. Lara Fielding; his children, Cyrus and Charis Hauri; his mother, Elizabeth Herrlich; and his siblings Rebecca Rezzonico, Hanna Shiloni, Evelyn Igielko and Albert Beran.

Nathan Lane hasn’t forgotten how his The Birdcage co-star Robin Williams helped protect him during an interview almost 30 years ago.
Nathan Lane is remembering his friend Robin Williams — as a “saint.”
during an interview on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” when the Oscar winner then stepped in.“I was not prepared at all for that,” Lane said during a chat on the “Today” show Sunday about being open with his homosexuality in public.“And I certainly wasn’t ready to go from table-to-table and tell them all I was gay,” the “Lion King” actor and New Jersey native continued. “I just wanted to talk about finally [I] got a big part in a movie, and I didn’t want to make it about my sexuality.”In “The Birdcage,” Williams — who died in 2014 — and Lane played a gay couple whose son is about to be married.Tony winner Lane explained on the morning show how he knew that starring in a queer film would bring inquiries about his own sexuality — and it was “sort of unavoidable.”However, while he knew that Winfrey, 69, wasn’t trying to out him on purpose, he recalled what he mentioned to “Good Will Hunting” star Williams prior to the interview.
Nathan Lane says he wasn’t ready to publicly come out of the closet when The Birdcage opened in 1996, and co-star Robin Williams helped him dodge the issue during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Nathan Lane revealed on “Sunday Today” that Robin Williams once protected him from coming out as gay against his will on national television. The year was 1996 and Lane and Williams were on their press tour for Mike Nichols’ “The Birdcage,” in which they play a gay couple trying to marry off their son to a conservative couple’s daughter. Lane was nervous about doing an interview on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” as “The Birdcage” was one of his first major film roles, and he did not want to come out publicly as gay at the time. “I was not prepared at all for that,” Lane said about openly discussing his sexuality at the time. “And I certainly wasn’t ready to go from table-to-table and tell them all I was gay. I just wanted to talk about finally [getting] a big part in a movie, and I didn’t want to make it about my sexuality.”
Robin Williams helped him avoid being outed on a TV talk show.The actor recalled the incident, which took place on The Oprah Winfrey Show around the time that the two stars appeared in The Birdcage together in 1996.“I was not prepared at all for that,” Lane explained on TODAY of the possibility of discussing his sexuality publicly at the time.“And I certainly wasn’t ready to go from table-to-table and tell them all I was gay. I just wanted to talk about I finally got a big part in a movie and I didn’t want to make it about my sexuality, although it was sort of unavoidable because of the nature of the film and the character.”Speaking further about the interview, the star recalled: “I don’t think Oprah was trying to out me.
Nathan Lane is recalling the sweet moment when Robin Williams saved him from having to talk about his sexuality when he wasn’t ready to do so.
