The Modern’s Flint Gervais Wins Gold at AAF District 5 Awards

The American Advertising Federation announced the winners of its District 5 ADDY Awards, and recent Modern College of Design graduate Flint Gervais has earned top honors. District 5 represents students from Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia who advanced from local AAF chapters.

Flint won a student Gold ADDY in the Cross-Platform Integrated Brand Identity Campaign category for his project "Roll W/ It," a concept-to-completion food truck brand he fully designed. From naming and storytelling to visual identity and execution, Flint crafted every aspect of the project and created a bold, authentic, and highly creative campaign.

“Watching Flint grow as a designer and professional has been inspiring,” shared Jessica Barry, President of The Modern College of Design. “He brings thoughtfulness to everything he creates, and truly deserves this award.”

Flint, a 2024 graduate of The Modern’s Design Leadership bachelor’s completion program, will now advance to the AAF National ADDY Awards. AAF will announce the winners during the American Advertising Awards Gala this June in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
