Email Campaign and Online Ads Win Graphic Design USA Recognition
March 31, 2026, Highwood, IL — A prestigious annual competition honoring excellence in online, digital, and interactive experiences has singled out work by Street Level Studio (SLS), a full-service marketing agency based on Chicago’s North Shore. Two SLS projects ranked among the top 10 percent of more than 3,000 entries, earning 2026 Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) Digital Design Awards.
A colorful series of “Move Forward with Canon” online banner ads created for the production printing division of Canon U.S.A., Inc., earned an award for showcasing the innovation and performance of the company’s line of production inkjet platforms—one of the print industry’s most expansive inkjet press portfolios.
Street Level Studio was also recognized for a highly targeted email campaign on behalf of the Water Quality Association (WQA). The campaign was designed to expand awareness among the nation’s groundwater professionals—a discrete market segment—and encourage attendance at the association’s annual convention and expo.
“We are grateful for this recognition from GDUSA and for our relationship with Canon and WQA,” said Tanya Fretheim, Street Level Studio’s CEO. “I’m also grateful for the continued excellence of our creative team in delivering results for these clients. Both campaigns exceeded expectations.”
