Kenexa placed first in “Best Self Promotion Multimedia Campaign” awarded for its internal efforts on Kenexa’s employment branding campaign that included messaging, artwork, a new career site, a cultural video, prints, thank you cards, signage and giveaways for employees including calendars, t-shirts and coffee mugs.

Kenexa also placed first in “Best Temporary Employment Print Ad” awarded for client work done on behalf of a leading direct marketer of value-priced novelties, toys and party supplies, and a leading direct marketer of home décor products, and “Best Radio Ad” for a placement on behalf of United Healthcare Group, a diversified health and well-being company operating in four segments: Health Care Services, OptumHealth, Ingenix and Prescription Solutions and headquartered in Minnesota.
