#Winning.

Award-winners had plenty of opportunities for hashtags and Instagrams on Thursday night as the Social Media Club of Des Moines honored the best social media campaigns in the state, as judged by select national members of the Social Media Club. The Hashie Awards have been in Des Moines since 2014, and celebrate brand social media campaigns big and small.

“We’re really looking to recognize outstanding social media from the Des Moines area, but also greater Iowa,” Jessie Brown, co-executive director of the Social Media Club board, said. 

“It’s a mix of agencies, nonprofits and businesses,” said Viki Arias, also co-executive director of the board. “We don’t necessarily have an influencer category, which maybe that’s something to think about, seeing how that’s on the rise.” 

Thursday’s event at Jasper Winery honored award winners in 17 categories and six media platforms. This year, the Social Media Club also honored two social media professionals of the year: gold-winner Brooke Miller of Travel Iowa, and silver-winner Niki Smith of Drake University.
