Pre-advertising, Kervs earned his stripes in the music industry. As Head of Marketing at PatchWerk Recording Studios, a well-known Atlanta establishment at the epiccenter of urban music and culture, he founded the regionally-famous ‘I do Music’ brand.
Kervs’ advertising career began at R/GA in Los Angeles, California where he helped launch monumental work for Beats by Dre , very early on getting the opportunity to work with top brass such as Lebron James and Spike Lee .
A short time later, at Wieden + Kennedy, Kervins was credited on industry-lauded campaigns for Nike , Procter & Gamble and Old Spice .
His writing on racial injustice in America was the mainspring that introduced the Nike Equality campaign to the world. The premier film featured Lebron James, Serena Williams, and other athletes taking a stand over the powerful voice of Alicia Keys singing a heart stirring cover of Sam Cook’s “A Change is Gonna Come”.
In 2019, along with his four-legged companion, Rocky, Kervs transplanted to Europe where he took a Sr. Creative role with Wieden + Kennedy, Amsterdam . While there, Kervins has been busy helping to establish a global platform for Facebook , launching a international campaign for the insurance behemoth, Allianz and working on countless other brands .
Most recently, as Creative Director overseeing the Corona beer account at W+K Amsterdam, Kervs ushered the brand through a global centennial campaign. This is Living, Since 1925 launched with a sultry film shot by Daniel Wolfe, followed by the full suite of global media.
Currently Kervins is available for freelance globally. Projects that require hard-earned empathy and soulful, evocative language are where he can have the most impact.
Until then, Kervins will be tending to his most important role, raising two little women with his partner since summer 2021.
