The truth is, radio has too long been a neglected stepchild in the industry.  The Radio Mercury Awards have raised the standard, without question. They've opened our eyes and ears to the vast potential of this medium.

In whatever business you’re in, it’s nice to be recognized by your peers. But it’s even nicer to be recognized by your peers and then immediately afterwards be handed a large cash prize. I think that’s what’s so great about the Radio Mercury Awards – you get fame and fortune all wrapped up in one convenient package.

Multiple Radio Mercury Award Winner

As a producer who does Radio commercials on a regular basis, I constantly hear copywriters say things like, “We gotta make this great, we gotta win a Mercury Award!”  We’ve run into studio overtime because producers were striving not just to be great, but to be great enough to win a Mercury Award... The Radio-Mercury Awards are the standard for Radio creative.
