Design Week’s Creative Survey was started in the 1990’s. As in previous years, the 2009 Creative Survey listings are based on the success enjoyed by largely UK consultancies and in-house design teams across the main creative awards in a range of disciplines. Increasingly, it involves international prize schemes.
WMH was awarded fifth place in the TOP 50 table (all awards). The Partners, a WPP-owned agency, achieved the number 1 spot, closely followed by Apple Design Group, Apple’s in-house design team. The Chase and Love were awarded third and fourth places.
In 2009 Williams Murray Hamm’s award-winning work included:
Jamie Oliver’s Recipease store (brand identity) – gold award at the Cannes Design Lions Awards
Waterbranding (logo/identity) – first place at the Mobius Awards
Beazley (mixed media) – first place at the Mobius Awards

About Williams Murray Hamm
Established in 1997, Williams Murray Hamm set out to offer clients an alternative to the intrusive logos and graphic formulas that had become commonplace in the world of 80s and 90s brand design. It seemed to us that robust ideas were of much greater value to clients than decoration and derivation.
With the help of some fearless clients, WMH has gained an international reputation for creative and commercial success. We have won major awards at D&AD, Design Week, Clio and New York Festivals and been named No 1 for Branding in 2004/05/06/07/08 (Design Week) and No.1 for Design Effectiveness 2003/04/06 by the DBA for work with clients like Clipper Teas, Cobra and Sainsbury’s.
This has led to Garrick Hamm being appointed D&AD President for 2008/9 and WMH featuring in The Guardian’s ‘Top 50 Hottest Names in Design’.
