LEO BURNETT GROUP WINS THREE RADIO MERCURY AWARDS
Susan Credle serves as first female judge for awards show
CHICAGO – Oct. 5, 2011 – Three brands of the Leo Burnett Group—creative
advertising agency, Leo Burnett; marketing services agency, Arc Worldwide; and
Hispanic advertising agency, Lapiz—brought home three prizes last night at the 20th
annual Radio Mercury Awards in New York City. With only nine total awards given to the
best in the industry, the Leo Burnett Group had the strongest agency presence with
winners for major brands Allstate, Symantec Norton and P&G Bounty. Leo Burnett Chief
Creative Officer Susan Credle was also on hand as the first-ever female chief judge of
the competition.
Leo Burnettʼs “Mayhem” campaign for Allstate was named the winner of the Integrated
Radio Campaign category. An audible personification of danger, Mayhemʼs radio
campaign encourages listeners to be prepared for the unexpected with Allstateʼs full
coverage insurance.
Leo Burnett Chicago and Arc Worldwide brought Symantec Nortonʼs brand purpose to
life in “Missing,” the winner of the Agency/Production category. By increasingly muting
out copy, Missing exemplifies what can happen to identities when they arenʼt protected
by Norton.
Created by Lapiz, “Madre” for Procter & Gambleʼs Bounty paper towels won in the
Spanish Language category. As a mother feeds her child, she frighteningly mutters the
names of food and the stains they can present, reminding listeners that stains can be
scary without Bounty.
The Radio Mercury Awards is the only event of its kind exclusively dedicated to radio.
Since 1992, the organization has recognized and rewarded effective and creative radio
2. commercials drawing entries from advertising agencies, production houses, radio
stations and educational institutions across the country. Over the last 18 years 17,000
radio commercials have competed for over $2.9 million in prizes.
