Marketing Masquerade | Design Awards Gala - Event Recap
This year’s annual SMPS Houston Design Awards Gala focused on members’ excellence in marketing design and outstanding achievements in communications, with the theme of “Marketing Masquerade.” The chapter continued its long-standing tradition of supporting Casa de Esperanza de Los Ninos by donating all proceeds from the raffle and mask sales to the charity.
