The Little Caesars campaign he worked on for 10 years was hailed as one of the best of the Decade and in 2001, Staples, another long-standing client, was inducted into the AMA's Marketing Hall of Fame based on sales success and the body of work. Arthur has received hundreds of advertising awards, including One Show, Andy's, Cannes, Clios, two Mercury Grand prizes and his work has received best campaign of the year honors.
