Mount Laurel, New Jersey, August 31, 2015 – Corporate Synergies, a national employee benefits and property and casualty insurance brokerage and consulting firm, announced that it has earned two APEX Awards for 2015. APEX Awards for Publication Excellence is an annual national competition that recognizes excellence in publication work by professional communicators.
