D&AD Awards 2007

Last night witnessed the 2007 D&AD Awards, at Old Billingsgate Market.

Wieden + Kennedy had a very successful night, winning much coveted D&AD Pencils for Nike Run London (Integrated), Honda Choir (Editing) and Choir again (Sound Design). Yay.

A full list of the winners can be found here.

Comedian Dara O’Briain broke with industry awards tradition, by being very funny.

Here we see Darren Wright and Lucy Collier, picking up their Pencils from El Presidente of D&AD, Tony Davidson:

And that bottle isn’t in the foreground of the picture. That’s the actual bottle that Darren had his mouth to, shortly after this picture was taken.

Here’s the gorgeous Honda team:

Matt Gooden was particularly excited by his win:

Lots of fun was had by all. Neil, W+K’s MD, is away on holiday at the moment. Neil – in case you’re reading this, don’t worry… absolutely everyone made it in this morning at the usual 8am.

The Sun today picks up on our ‘Are you Gordon Brown?’ campaign for Save the Children, as previously posted about here. Not huge visibility for Save the Children in the article but I guess it all helps. (Though the death penalty headline is as random as they come.) Visit the ‘Are you Gordon?’ website, created by Wieden + Kennedy to highlight the issue of free children’s healthcare in Africa on behalf of the Save the Children… here.
