We’re pleased to report that W+K London made something of a splash in Campaign’s end of year issue.

In the top 15 films of the year, our work placed #1 (Nike – Nothing Beats a Londoner), #4 (Three – Phones Are Good) and #8 (Sainsbury’s – The Big Night). The Sainsbury’s work was also named Pick of the Month and the omnipresent Plug Boy got a special mention.

Our ECDs, Tony Davidson and Iain Tait, were named #2 in the top UK creatives list, with Campaign opining: “Tait and Davidson aren’t ones for industry posturing, letting their department’s work speak for itself – and did it ever in 2018. Wieden+Kennedy London was responsible for the most acclaimed ad of the year, Nike’s Nothing beats a Londoner. The pair could have rested on their laurels, but there was great work to come from Three, Honda and TK Maxx.”

Finally, creatives Tom Bender and Tom Corcoran were interviewed by Campaign’s Brittaney Kiefer on their stellar year, which included award-winning work for Nike and Three. Check out their interview here.

Big thanks to Campaign for the recognition and an ever bigger shout out to our amazing team and clients who helped us enjoy a very special year.

W+K London is displaying the work of Henry Jay Kamara (Jay) across our agency walls.

A rising talent in the UK photography scene, Jay’s work embodies the crisscrossing narratives and international resonance reflected in today’s most prominent young artists and art movements.

Early into his career, Jay shot editorial for brands such as Nike and Puma and start-ups including African Bamboo. These projects complement his work which tells more personal stories and challenges the negative perceptions of Africa.

“I want to use my art to help redefine the continent’s representation,” said Jay. “Primarily, those of us who live in the West encounter Africa only through the myths and stereotypes which we interact with in the media.”

Check out some of Jay’s work below which is currently on display at W+K London. Find out more about the artist here.
