Hot Dog Marketing Named Philanthropic Small Corporation of the Year by AFP Greater Austin

Hot Dog Marketing in Round Rock, Texas, has been named the 2025 Philanthropic Small Corporation of the Year by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Greater Austin Chapter. The award was announced during the annual Philanthropy Day celebration, which honors individuals and organizations making a positive impact through philanthropy and community support.

Hot Dog Marketing was nominated by two organizations close to its mission and heart: the Round Rock Partners in Education Foundation and Women Communicators of Austin. Both groups highlighted the agency’s ongoing contributions of time, marketing expertise, and financial support toward initiatives that empower education, elevate women in leadership, and strengthen the Central Texas region.

“We’re incredibly proud of this recognition,” said Jessica Scanlon, Founder and CEO of Hot Dog Marketing. “Our brand purpose is to create growth, and one of the ways we do this is by partnering with organizations that make the places we work more prosperous and giving back to those organizations.”

With a focus on helping professional service firms, public sector contractors and government entities thrive, Hot Dog Marketing also lives its values through civic involvement, board service, nonprofit partnerships, and mentorship. As a certified Woman-Owned and Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE/MBE), the agency brings a unique, community-first perspective to both its client work and its philanthropic efforts.

This award reflects Hot Dog Marketing’s belief that strong communities and strong businesses go hand in hand and that every brand has the power to leave a mark that matters.
