The 2020 Hashies @ Home Awards
The Hashie Awards were established in 2014 by Social Media Club Des Moines, a member chapter of Social Media Club, Inc., to recognize and celebrate excellence in social media marketing.
What a night it was at our first ever Hashies @ Home! Congratulations to everyone that brought home a Silver or Gold Hashtag. It was so much fun celebrating the hard work in social media marketing from the past year.
We want to take a second to thank the amazing team at Studio Iowa for make our dreams of a virtual event come true and to Joey Avery from Chubbies for keeping us laughing the entire night.
Mark you calendars for next year’s event which will be held on Thursday, August 26, 2021 at Jasper Winery!
