He will be sharing the journey of the recent renaming of Appleseed and Golden Construction to Creature, a company that seamlessly integrates architecture, manufacturing and construction. 

Ford Wiles, chief creative officer and partner for Birmingham-based Big, was named American Advertising Federation (AAF)-Birmingham Silver Award Medal Winner at the annual ADDYs awards ceremony, held Friday, Feb. 24.
