Looking Back at a Successful 2022
Hi everyone and happy new year, it has been a while!
Hard to believe, but 2023 sees Cake Media Maui entering its seventh year of business and we are excited to continue working on lots of upcoming social media management, graphic design, website builds, and special events, while growing our client base.
2022 may have been our best year yet, and we were incredibly proud to receive several accolades for our small female-owned Maui biz.
In May, we were honored and humbled to receive a Pele Award, awarded to Cake Media for Logo Design—specifically Jenny’s beautiful work for surfboard shaper John Carlton’s Pearl Surf Designs. The annual Pele Awards sees more than 1000 people enter their work across 15 categories and, needless to say, we were over the moon to win for Logo Design and to represent Maui among some of HI’s finest creatives.
Pele Award win for Logo Design, 2022!
Award-winning design for Maui’s Pearl Surf Designs.
Special congratulations to Jenny for this celebration of your artisitry. You deserve this recognition for all your hard work, dedication, and boundless creativity!
This was followed by a monumental win in the “Best of the West” Media awards from the American Advertising Federation when it was announced that Jenny was Media Professional of the Year, acknowledged for Cake Media’s “excellence in media and service to their community.” The Western Region comprises of five district operations supporting the states of Arizona, Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, so to take home the win from Maui was a huge and incredible honor!
In September we received yet another surprise, when we were included as one of “The Best Food Photographers in Maui” by Peerspace! They described our work as:
“Specializing in event and food photography, this expert photo team is the life of the party and the garnish on top of a juicy, well-cooked steak. The meat of their imagery is based on brand identity, so they’re pretty much color-grading wizards. As self-proclaimed coffee connoisseurs, they’ll have your cup of joe looking like it’s just walked the red carpet to the table.”
What a year! Mahalo to all our supporters and clients for helping us to grow and experience these achievements, it simply would not be possible without you!
