Your ’24 Radio Mercury Award Winners!
• Winners of the 2024 Radio Mercury Awards were announced Thursday evening at the 33rd annual awards presentation held at SONY Hall in New York as well as live streamed, courtesy of Hubbard Radio. The Best of Show honors went to Highdive for their campaign for Airheads, while the Radio Marketer of the Year Award was presented to O’Reilly Auto Parts.
“No surprise, the Radio Mercury Awards continues to be where the best in radio and audio creativity is discovered. As a long-time entrant, sometimes winner, and forever fan, it’s been an honor to serve as chief judge,” said Mitch Bennett, Executive Creative Director of Guesthouse Audio. “As final-round judges, we laughed, debated, and were inspired that 129 years after Marconi invented this thing, radio can still delight and surprise us.”
“I have been an active fan of the Radio Mercury Awards throughout my broadcasting career, and having the opportunity to experience the judging process reinforced my belief in the awards’ importance in radio and advertising today,” said Mike Hulvey, Pres. & CEO of RAB and Chair for the Radio Creative Fund. “The awards competition truly helps us propel our medium forward.” That’s Hulvey (left), with the Best of Show-winning team, Highdive, and Guesthouse Audio’s Mitch Bennett.
