Aguilar PR Leads Production of 2025 Mayor’s Design Awards

Aguilar PR was proud to serve as the lead event partner for the 2025 Mayor’s Design Awards, presented by the City of Denver’s Community Planning and Development Department and the Mayor’s Office. From initial concept to final spotlight, our team managed every detail of this meaningful celebration of architecture and design in Denver

Aguilar PR coordinated closely with designers, city departments, print vendors, videographers, and the venue staff at The Studio Loft to ensure a seamless and impactful experience. We served as the central hub connecting all collaborators—ensuring timelines stayed on track, creative assets aligned with the event’s vision, and every partner had the support they needed to deliver their best work.

To reflect the spirit of innovation honored by the Mayor’s Design Awards, we conceptualized and produced a custom skyline installation made up of large-scale cutouts of the winning buildings. The display transformed the event space into a dynamic tribute to Denver’s built environment—elevating the ceremony with a visual centerpiece that embodied the city’s evolving skyline.

Throughout the planning and production process, we worked hand-in-hand with The Studio Loft’s staff to bring the event to life within their historic venue. Located in the heart of downtown and connected to the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, The Studio Loft provided a dramatic and flexible setting. Our team collaborated with the venue’s lighting crew to craft a visual environment that complemented the custom skyline installation, helping to unify the space and enhance the overall experience. From lighting cues to program flow to space configuration, we ensured every element came together with precision and care.

We extend our gratitude to Alex Foster, Communications Specialist with the City and County of Denver, for being a steady and collaborative partner throughout. We’re also grateful to Rassman Design for their creative contributions to the skyline visuals, and to Panamericana Media for producing compelling content that helped tell the story of the awards through video and interviews.

Congratulations to all of this year’s winners and nominees. At Aguilar PR, we believe in the power of place and the importance of community-driven design—and we’re proud to have played a central role in honoring the visionaries shaping Denver’s future.
