Port Laredo Earns Gold Honor at 2026 Hermes Creative Awards

Port Laredo received Gold recognition at the 2026 Hermes Creative Awards, an international competition that honors excellence in marketing, communications, and creative strategy.

The award recognizes work developed in partnership with ADS Comunicación, Port Laredo’s agency of record, and reflects the port’s growing investment in strategic communications as part of its broader positioning as the No. 1 inland port of entry in the United States.

Strategic communications tied to trade leadership

The recognition comes as Port Laredo continues to elevate the way it communicates its role in North American commerce. As the largest inland port in the United States, facilitating more than $350 billion in annual trade between the U.S. and Mexico, Laredo occupies a central position in logistics, distribution, manufacturing, and cross-border supply chains.

The award-winning work is part of a broader communications strategy designed to connect the port’s operational importance with its economic development agenda. Through this approach, Port Laredo is strengthening its visibility not only as a logistics platform, but as a binational trade asset with national and international relevance.

A platform for the next trade conversation

The Hermes Creative Awards, administered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals, received more than 6,000 entries from organizations across the United States, Canada, and 29 additional countries. Within that context, Port Laredo’s Gold recognition places its communications work among a competitive international field.

The award also builds momentum ahead of the Port Laredo Global Trade Summit 2026, which will bring together public and private sector leaders from Mexico and the United States to discuss trade, logistics, infrastructure, and the future of North American supply chains.

For Port Laredo, the recognition reinforces a clear message: the story of trade is also the story of strategy, infrastructure, and binational collaboration at the center of North American commerce.
