Kenexa’s Creative Team Named Merit Winner in 2012 In-HOWse Design Awards

WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kenexa (NYSE: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for human resources, today announced that projects produced by its in-house creative team were chosen as two of the 76 award-winning designs in the most recent In-HOWse Design Awards. The highly selective and well-regarded competition, sponsored by HOW magazine, recognizes outstanding creative work produced by individuals and groups within corporations, associations and organizations.

HOW’s editorial and design team evaluated more than 750 entries and selected winning projects that demonstrated an ideal mix of concept, strategy and execution. Entries were judged by market category and also by how effectively the design achieved the stated business goal. Among the winners were design teams from across the United States, including Kenexa, Mattel, National Public Radio, MetLife and Wells Fargo.

Kenexa’s creative team was recognized for its work on the Kenexa Corporate Brochure and the Kenexa Promise Book in the Business-to-Business and Industrial Products/Services category.

“Our creative team has the ability to tell a story in multiple ways that connect with our audience,” said Tim Geisert, chief marketing officer at Kenexa. “We take great pride in the work we do and we are thrilled that experts in the field of design recognize the talent and ability of our team.”

The Kenexa Corporate Brochure is an overview of products and services the company offers. The brochure is designed to communicate what makes Kenexa unique, an approach that identifies the company as a market leader and makes an emotional connection with the audience. Kenexa’s Promise Book tells the story of Kenexa by explaining the company’s vision, mission, personality and unique culture.

Kenexa’s winning projects will be prominently featured in the January 2013 issue of HOW magazine.
