- The Davey Awards celebrate creative work from small agencies, independent creators and in-house teams.
- w3 Awards recognize achievement in digital content, design and experiences.
- The Communicator Awards honor quality, effectiveness and innovation in communications.
Maling has been an AIVA member for more than three years. In addition, she served as an AIVA juror for the w3 Awards’ 21st season.
