The 2014 min Editorial & Design Awards, recognizing “excellence in content and design among consumer, business-to-business and specialized information media brands,” took place today at the Grand Hyatt in New York City with a celebratory awards breakfast attended by many of the print and digital industry’s most esteemed media organizations.
The Airline Passenger Experience Magazine (APEX Experience) was short-listed within the Most Improved Publication category, and took home an honorable mention award for Spafax’s new direction in design and editorial since taking over publication of the APEX association’s trade magazine in early 2014.
APEX Experience was represented by editor Terri Potratz and production manager Andréanne Lafond. Bonnie Sonnenschein, communications director for Kellen Communications – the management group for the APEX association – also attended the awards ceremony.
I’m thrilled that in just a few months, our international team has produced a publication that not only informs APEX members, but also earns the recognition of those outside our industry. -Al St. Germain, publisher, APEX Media
Allrecipes’ EiC Cheryl Brown delivered a keynote addressed that touched on how Allrecipes.com leveraged years of online dominance to expand the brand into print, and noted that a primary objective of the magazine was to continue to focus on Allrecipes’ community of members and contributors.

We were honored to be nominated alongside Lucky, National Journal and Time Out New York for the Most Improved Publication award, and we congratulate those teams on their accomplishments.
