The judges, all industry professionals themselves, look for work that “exceeds a high standard of excellence.”
This year, the competition was stiff and included more than 6,500 print and digital entries from 45 countries.
Once again, we are proud to be named alongside some of the best in corporate marketing and communications, including Fortune 500 companies, top advertising agencies, renowned PR firms and talented freelancers around the world.
AVC Wins APEX Award of Excellence
Aug. 8, 2024 — Active Voice Communications is proud to announce that we’ve won an APEX Award of Excellence for overall editorial content on our blog, which is a collaborative effort between Stephanie Conner and Shelley Flannery. But if we’re being honest, Shelley deserves the lion’s share of the credit for the blog’s writing. She’s a rockstar copywriter.
This is the first time APEX has recognized the AVC blog but our fifth APEX Award since 2018. Four earlier wins were for an AVC-produced podcast called Kiddos in the Kitchen hosted by Stephanie.
APEX Awards honor excellence in graphic design, editorial content and the ability to achieve overall communications excellence. The 2024 contest had more than 1,100 entries.
“As the post-COVID era evolved into the new world of Al and Chat GPT, many professionals in all fields had to adapt and face ever-changing standards and strategies. Those adaptations were extremely evident in the exceptional quality of all the submitted entries this year,” said APEX Awards Executive Editor Ken Turtoro. “Each year, the judges find it harder and harder to select the winners because of the high caliber of so many entries and 2024 was no exception.”
