One-hundred thirty-nine radio spots and campaigns have made it to the finals of the 2019 Radio Mercury Awards, which honor outstanding radio covering 10 categories. The submissions were created by advertising agencies, production companies, radio stations, streaming companies, and students. The 2019 finalists range from regional to large advertising agencies and radio stations, as well as national and local advertisers.
“‘Anything is Possible on Radio’ is again the theme, and I am delighted to see this year’s slate of spots and campaigns truly delivered,” said Chris Beresford-Hill, Chief Creative Officer, TBWA\Chiat\Day New York, and Chief Judge for the awards. “We heard great work during judging and are excited to see the audio medium continue to advance.”
The Radio Mercury Awards winners will be presented on June 6 at SONY HALL in New York City. Progressive Insurance is being awarded Radio Marketer of the Year. For more information about the event log onto www.radiomercuryawards.com.
