"Acuity is honored to be recognized for creativity and innovation in designing materials that communicate with all our stakeholders in engaging and effective ways,” said Ben Salzmann, Acuity President and CEO. “Our annual report is not just a way to deliver our outstanding results. It is an important marketing tool and a medium for communicating our value proposition and corporate culture with our agents, policyholders, and employees.”

Acuity's 2014 Annual Report, “Taking Care of Business: Another Noteworthy Year,” was created in partnership with DuFour Advertising. Designed as a legal pad, the report features more than 50 pages of unique, hand-drawn illustrations. The report was delivered in a custom-designed padfolio-briefcase with a carrying handle and removable shoulder strap.

“Acuity has built a reputation for delivering an annual report that defies the stoic conventions of the insurance industry. ‘Another Noteworthy Year’ continued this tradition and raised the bar,” Salzmann said.
