“We at Solstice are proud of our marketing team every day, but it is always a special honor when those outside the company acknowledge their work, especially an awards program as esteemed as Hermes,” said Carlos Ferrera, chief operating officer of Solstice. “Our team has the unique ability to take confusing insurance information—that’s often difficult to translate into readable language—and make it engaging and relevant.”
