Some of our readers may remember the scientific survey last year that concluded that W+K’s Ben Walker was the world’s number one copywriter. We now have, in a new magazine called Styling Lard, a survey based on points accumulated from various creative awards shows over the last ten years. There’s a chart-busting array of  W+K talent in there. Unfortunately the magazine can’t spell Wieden + Kennedy but you can’t have everything.

The results are as follows:

In at number 3 with a bullet, our very own: Sean Thompson

At number 10, gone (to Ogilvy) but not forgotten: Richard Russell

At number 13, still up there: Ben Walker

At number 32, from W+K Amsterdam: Mark Hunter

At number 39, you have to watch the quiet ones: Kim Papworth

Lucky number 13: Tony Davidson

Sweet 16: Michael Russoff. (And I thought Michael was a writer, or singer-songwriter.)

At number 18, still in the top 20: Matt Gooden

Well done, chaps.
