COMMUNICATOR AWARD OF EXCELLENCE

We want to make sure that the content we provide can be easily understood. This way, consumers have the information they need to make the health and benefits decisions that are right for them.

• Don’t Let Bad Breath Get in the Way – This short, humorous video (published on Facebook a few weeks prior to Valentine’s Day) is fun and appeals to a social, millennial consumer. The brief but strategic message shares how having a dental plan can improve your social life.

• The Solstice Opportunity: A Broker’s Guide to Solstice – The Solstice Opportunity is a broker's guide to getting to know Solstice, its product line, network strength and what makes them unique in the market. 

COMMUNICATOR AWARD OF DISTINCTION

• Does Charcoal Toothpaste Really Work? We tested it! – In this consumer blog, the Solstice writer tests out and compares the trendy charcoal powder and toothpaste. This is a hot topic and one of Solstice’s best-performing blog posts with respect to traffic.

The Communicator Awards, one of the largest award programs of its kind, selected Solstice’s content from over 6,000 entries from around the world.

According to the American Academy of Periodontology, 50 percent of Americans over age 30 have periodontitis (i.e. 64.7 million people), a dental disease connected to heart disease and other medical conditions. Additionally, dental decay continues to be the #1 most common childhood illness impacting youths between ages six to 19. With these statistics in mind, providing engaging and understandable content about the importance of oral health and its impact on overall health is vital for organizations in the industry that prioritize the overall health and wellness of consumers.
