Two learning solutions produced by SweetRush in collaboration with its clients were honored with Awards for Excellence in this writing- and communications-focused competition.
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.”
