We're excited to announce that Quinn Smith, Myers School of Art Student at The University of Akron won a National Silver ADDY for his "Keep It Separate" integrated advertising campaign!

He accepted this great honor at the American Advertising Awards Reception & Gala on May 29 at the annual AAF-National ADMERICA conference in Austin, TX. The event was hosted by Emmy-nominated television personality Trish Suhr.

In addition to a National ADDY, Quinn also won Student Best of Show at District 5.

Congratulations, Quinn! We can't wait to see what you do in your senior year!
