Every year, Lori Reed looks forward to traveling to New Orleans to attend the Emeril Lagasse Foundation’s annual “Carnivale du Vin” fundraiser, for which she’s created marketing campaigns since 2005.

Reed, owner of Reed Creative, a Washougal marketing and graphic design firm, didn’t make the trip in 2020, of course; the Oct. 17 event was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But she still delivered a high-quality campaign that not only helped the event raise more than $1 million for children’s charities, but earned top honors in the “Event Marketing” category at the American Marketing Association (AMA) PDX Max Awards, held online Feb. 24.
