TONY DAVIDSON
SOLD OUT
Date: Wednesday 5 September 2007
Location: Urbis, Manchester
As a child Tony Davidson learnt his trade by lying upside down on the settee and competing with his four siblings to ‘guess the commercial’. He started his career in advertising in 1985 as a junior art director at BMP where he teamed up with Kim Papworth. At Leagas Delaney they created the Adidas Euro ‘96 ‘Nicknames’ campaign, launched Tanner Krolle handbags, and did their Pepe commercial. At BBH they worked on Audi, and Lynx and created Levi’s ‘Flat Eric’. In Sept 2000 Tony & Kim set about building-up the then flagging ship of Wieden + Kennedy London, created Nike’s ‘Run London’ online and won 2 D&AD Black Pencils for their work on the Honda ‘Power of Dreams’ campaign. Tony is also passionate about pushing Wieden + Kennedy into new areas and has helped develop several WK products and art shows.
Tony will be showing his award-winning work and discussing his influences and experiences as D&AD President.
