SweetRush Wins Two APEX Awards For Publication Excellence

San Francisco, Calif., August 7, 2017 — The results of the 29th Annual APEX Awards for Publication Excellence have been announced, and SweetRush was named the winner of two Awards of Excellence in the category of Electronic Media – Education & Training.

One winning learning solution, designed in collaboration with Bridgestone Americas, was a scenario-based game that helped tire sales associates master their skills and be successful in their jobs. The other winner, an educational and motivational animated video created for hospitality training, resulted from a creative partnership with Hilton.

“The creation of effective learning solutions is really a team effort. Eye-catching visuals and great functionality have to work in concert with strong, engaging writing and communications,” said Arturo Schwartzberg, SweetRush Cofounder and Chairman. “Being recognized for excellence at the APEX Awards is a tribute to the creativity and expertise of our instructional designers, scriptwriters, and copy editors, who share the challenge of addressing the learning objectives, inspiring and motivating the audience to engage with the learning, and delivering the highest-quality work to our clients.”

APEX 2017, the 29th Annual Awards for Publication Excellence Competition, is an international contest that recognizes outstanding publications ranging from newsletters and magazines to annual reports, brochures, and websites. APEX competition officials said that "the awards were based on excellence in graphic design, quality of editorial content, and the success of the entry in conveying the message and achieving overall communications effectiveness."

Awards were offered in 100 individual categories that fell within 11 main categories that included newsletters; magazines, journals, and tabloids; annual reports; print media; electronic media; social media; websites; campaigns, programs, and plans; writing; design and illustration; and one-of-a-kind publications.
