A Night to Celebrate: Honoring Excellence in Media

On April 10th, the Media Alliance of Houston hosted its highly anticipated annual Awards Gala—an evening dedicated to celebrating the vibrant advertising and media community in Houston. Held in support of scholarships and the DREAM Fund, the event gathered the best and brightest in our industry for a night of connection, recognition, and giving back.

A Milestone for Avail Media

This year’s gala was an especially meaningful one for Avail Media. We were incredibly honored to be celebrated among our talented peers, and even more thrilled to be recognized across several award categories. The evening was a proud moment for our agency—but one highlight stood out above all:

Our very own principal, Kelley Robinson, was named the 2025 Silver Star Honoree.

The Silver Star of Excellence Award is one of the highest honors presented by the Media Alliance of Houston. Each year, it is awarded to an individual who exemplifies excellence in the media industry—someone who has not only demonstrated remarkable achievement in their work but also contributed significantly to the growth and integrity of our market. Recipients are nominated by their peers and selected by the MAH executive board, making this a truly meaningful and peer-driven recognition.

Kelley’s decades of experience, unwavering leadership, and passion for mentorship have shaped Avail Media into what it is today. Her dedication to client service, her deep media expertise, and her active involvement in industry organizations make her an outstanding representative of what this award stands for. We are endlessly proud of her and grateful to be led by such an inspiring professional.

Celebrating Our Team and Our Peers

In addition to Kelley’s incredible recognition, several Avail Media team members were also honored for their contributions, and our agency received a top award of the night:

  • Kristen Reeves – 2025 Local Agency Support Staff Winner
  • Janet Viguet – 2025 Local Agency Account Service/Brand Manager Winner
  • Caitlin Stansfield – 2025 Local Agency Buyer Winner
  • Avail Media – 2025 Agency of the Year


To say we’re proud is an understatement. These awards are a reflection of the heart, hustle, and collaboration that power our agency every single day. From strategic planning to media buying, from client service to campaign execution—our team shows up with energy, passion, and purpose in everything we do.

Looking Ahead

 

 

Being named Agency of the Year and having multiple team members recognized by the Media Alliance of Houston is not only a celebration—it’s motivation. These honors fuel our commitment to continue delivering excellence, growing our partnerships, and raising the bar in our industry.

To our fellow winners, nominees, and everyone who makes Houston’s media community so strong: congratulations. We’re grateful to stand alongside you and excited for what’s ahead.

Here’s to the next chapter—and many more nights to celebrate.
