LIMRA’s MarketFacts has won the Award of Excellence in the category of Design and Layout. The design work was done by Marlene McAuley, LOMA’s graphic design manager. It was a winner in the Magazines, Journals and Tabloids category for its Number 1, 2018 issue. LOMA’s Resource magazine won an Award of Excellence in the Writing – Financial and Investment category for an article titled “Deals, Drivers, Disruptors,” written by Jennifer Rankin.

MarketFacts was one of 20 publications selected in its category by APEX judges, which had 287 overall submissions.
