2021 Radio Mercury Awards Winners Announced
RADIO ONLINE | Wednesday, November 17, 2021 |
Winners for the 30th anniversary Radio Mercury Awards were announced virtually Wednesday evening at the 2021 event. This year's winners captured the creativity taking place during the last year and a half and reflect the unprecedented times. During the awards, Campbell Ewald Detroit/NY Executive Creative Director Alejandro Ortiz was announced as the chief judge for the 2022 Radio Mercury Awards. Additionally, it was announced that the Creative Use of Nonbroadcast Audio category ended in a tie, resulting in two winners.
"This year, it took us two days to fully deliberate, as this year's winners really impressed the jury with their overall approach to messaging and storytelling," said BBDO Atlanta Chief Judge and Chief Creative Officer Robin Fitzgerald. "The winning work shone through, made us laugh, feel inspired and even made us a little hungry for soup dumplings."
"The 30th anniversary awards presentation once again reflected the power of radio creative and its ability to grow brands and deliver for advertisers," noted RAB President/CEO Erica Farber and chair of the Radio Creative Fund. "The Radio Mercury Awards continue to advance the medium forward by showcasing innovative, creative and effective radio and audio commercial work."
The virtual presentation, produced by the Radio Advertising Bureau and hosted by Fitzgerald and Chris Smith, principal and chief creative officer, Plot Twist Creativity, featured this year's final round jury, who served as presenters for the awards alongside previous Radio Mercury Awards best-of-show winners. Finalists and attendees from across the country celebrated this year's winners virtually.
