A Nicholls State University art senior will have her advertising campaign judged on a national level after excelling in local and regional competitions.


Thibodaux native and Nicholls senior Celeste Bourgeois received a Silver ADDY from the American Advertising Federation. The honor was for her Integrated Brand Identity Campaign. 

Bourgeois earned the ADDY after being honored by the Baton Rouge chapter of the AAF on March 3 for her project titled ‘MARGZ Margarita Festival’. The project later received top honors in District 7, which covers Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee. For that honor, Bourgeois will advance to Nationals. 

Bourgeois will receive her district award on April 13 at a ceremony in Jackson. 


“It’s invigorating to have a Nicholls student receive local and regional ADDY awards and be recognized by industry judges as one of the best among her peers,” said Trisha Rabalais, an associate professor of art at Nicholls. “Celeste is an example of the truly remarkable talent that we have in the Nicholls department of art.”
