For more than three decades, the APEX Awards program has recognized excellence in publishing by professional communicators. The 2021 awards were based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content and the ability to achieve overall communications effectiveness. 

“Each year, the quality of entries increases. Overall, this year’s entries displayed an exceptional level of quality,” according to Communications Concepts Inc, the organization that sponsors the APEX awards.

Judges evaluated a total of 1,172 entries, including 136 in the COVID-19 Media category.

Annuity.org published its COVID-19 resources in response to the global crisis to quickly and accurately answer the financial questions consumers faced. 

In addition to its comprehensive COVID-19 financial guide, Annuity.org’s COVID-19 news articles were also included in this recognition for quality and effectiveness. 

The articles address the financial challenges exacerbated by the pandemic and provide helpful action steps for financial well-being and protecting livelihoods. Guidance is driven by extensive research and expert interviews.

Annuity.org is a trusted source for retirement planning and financial literacy topics, and the APEX honor further demonstrates the brand’s expertise and credibility.
