The trade press year end round-ups for 2012 are starting to drop and there's a strong showing for Wieden + Kennedy in the listings. Adweek has done a list of top ten best commercials of the year, three of which are by W+K. It includes:

All the above ads were from W+K Portland.

And there were three W+K spots in the AdWeek list of the world's top 20 most viral ads of 2012.

They were as follows, the first two from W+K London and the third from Portland again.

Congratulations to everyone involved.

We have good friends at Arena Media.

They asked us to talk to some of their up and coming talent.
Mostly about what we think makes great planning.
Specifically within a creative agency.

So they stepped inside Wieden + Kennedy's Hanbury Street HQ.
And heard some words of wisdom from Mr Paul Colman.

There were lots of revelations in the session.
The biggest is evident in the photo below: namely the extent of hair thinning for both Paul (left) and Martin (right).

Come back soon, Arena.
Our door is always open.
