Inhofe's Nephew Top GOP Ad Producer

By Randy Krehbiel/Tulsa World ~ That's what did it for Fred Davis: a television spot featuring big-bellied cons in ballerina costumes, produced for Jim Inhofe's 1994 Senate campaign.
Inhofe, Davis' uncle, won. So did the ad. The American Association of Political Consultants voted it the ad of the year. And Davis and his ad agency became one of the nation's most influential Republican communications firms.
Although Davis (pictured above with associate Beth Monica) moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s, much of his company's pre- and post-production work is still done in Tulsa.
Clients have included President George W. Bush; former Vice President Dan Quayle; U.S. Sens. Charles Grassley, Bob Corker and Paul Coverdell; and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Davis, through his company, Strategic Perceptions Inc., was creative director of the 2008 Republican National Convention, a job that entailed producing all of the convention's visual and audio effects, including the videos shown throughout the convention on the giant screen behind the stage.
