Organized by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA), the awards celebrate outstanding work in advertising, marketing, and digital content, focusing on creativity rather than budget or size.

• Kistler Website Redesign: General-Construction, Gold Award

Key to id8’s success is its outstanding staff. The GDOL project was led by Jess Gerjets, Vice President of Creative; Lindsay Pace, Vice President of Accounts; Eric Berrios, Brand Strategist;  and Sam Cleveland, Graphic Designer. 

The Visit Marietta project was led by id8 Kriston Sellier, President of id8; Jess Gerjets, Vice President of Creative; Eric Berrios, Brand Strategist; and Kim Whitaker, Graphic Designer.

“The id8 team thoroughly enjoyed working on each of the projects that earned an award, and the industry recognition from Graphic Design USA and the Davey Awards make each project even more meaningful. Although all of the projects are unique, the goal for each project was the same. We wanted to bring tangible value to our clients by going far beyond just creating designs that are visually appealing and connect design solutions to our clients’ business goals,” said Sellier.
