We have the solution to help you recharge your creative drive - we’re offering validation from your peers and a panel of esteemed judges for a limited time, but the awards (and clout) will last forever!

When it comes to design, I’m a strong believer in the power of restraint. Whether it’s an ad, a logo, or in this case, an environmental design, simplicity is always the best place to start, and the ultimate destination.

The restraint showcased in the Belle Meade Social Environment pieces truly shines; all of the branded elements work together in a cohesive, simplistic manner to suggest a sense of confidence and directness. Kudos to all involved.”

THE AAF MOSAIC AWARD honors companies and individuals who exemplify a spirit of diversity and inclusion. Mosaic Award recipients display their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through creative work, advocacy, and company-wide initiatives.

MARY ELIZABETH WHITMIRE

“What makes Mary Elizabeth truly exceptional is her self-taught journey in graphic design. Despite lacking formal training, her innate eye for design and genuine love for the craft shine through in every project she undertakes. Her work is a testament to her passion and creativity, and it’s evident that she possesses a rare talent that goes beyond conventional education.”

SPONSORED BY

LILY HURT

“The amount of work Lily does behind the scenes that contributes to our success as a group is unreal. Our partners may never see Lily’s face, but she works tirelessly on each and every account. When she became part of our team, she essentially had to establish her own processes and procedures for her position as we had not yet had a dedicated media manager. Lily rose to that challenge with intelligence and grace. She would never, ever brag on herself, but she deserves so much recognition and praise.”

JOSH HORTON

“Josh has helped connections flourish in the Memphis creative community both through the Creative Works conference and personally. Now that the conference is nationally known, it sheds a positive light on our city. don’t think the creative community in Memphis would be as fun as it is without Creative Works and Josh’s efforts. It’s helped establish businesses, freelancers, and up-andcoming creatives as real players in the field making a living.”

CYNTHIA DANIELS

“Cynthia Daniels has spearheaded so many events that spotlight and feature black business. She’s created new opportunities for black owned businesses to showcase their offerings, black entrepreneurs and employees to mix and mingle for future job opportunities, and established annual heavily attended events in Memphis that have black business at their heart.”

The Silver Medal Award recognizes an entire career of outstanding accomplishment and contribution in advertising, including:

CONTRIBUTION TO COMPANY

CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY

CREATIVE ABILITY

CONTRIBUTION TO THE GENERAL ADVANCEMENT OF ADVERTISING

CYNTHIA SAATKAMP

Cynthia Saatkamp represents the crossroads of Southern charm and sophisticated, strategic thinking. She co-founded Hemline Tailored Brand Strategies 20 years ago, and thanks to her collective and intuitive leadership, this all-female owned and operated boutique advertising, marketing and communications agency, which employs more than a dozen women, has worked with over 100 companies, organizations and entrepreneurs since its inception.

Throughout her spectacular career, Cynthia has led with grace and grit, working alongside clients to build better, stronger, more meaningful brands within Memphis and around the world. Clients like the Memphis Grizzlies, Smith & Nephew, Ballet Memphis, LEO Events, AutoZone, Hilton and FedEx. Presently, she’s on a roll with Bentonville Moves, building futures with Alia Wealth Partners, and creating beautiful music with Iris Collective.

Not one to sing her own praises, she’s not only a leader in business but also a mentor in the Memphis advertising community. Cynthia has served with AAF Memphis for over 10 years as a board member, executive committee member, president and past president. She has been an active member and steward of the Memphis community through her mentorship and service, serving on boards including GraceSt. Luke’s Episcopal School, Grace-St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, the Junior League of Memphis, Midtown Memphis Development Corporation and Central Gardens Association.

Cynthia was recently named one of Memphis Business Journal’s Super Women in Business 2023, and in the past was honored as a Memphis Business Journal “Top 40 Under 40,” AAF Memphis “Marketing Professional of the Year,” and Inside Memphis Business “Power Player” for Advertising & Marketing.

While her business accomplishments are impressive, she’s most proud of her family, her husband Andrew and their 18-year-old twins, Bronwyn and Jackson.
