The “Radio Ad Wonder” is now in its 13th round. RMS Austria, ORF-Enterprise, Marx Tonkombinat and Creativ Club Austria award the best radio advertising for radio advertising with 10,000 euros.
Austrians are listening to more and more radio: According to the current RADIO TEST, people spend 201 minutes a day with their favorite medium – 18 minutes more than a year ago. And they hear advertising that works every day. No other medium offers such a rapid increase in reach and awareness at advantageous costs like the “Radio Ad Wonder”. Creativ Club Austria, Marx Tonkombinat, ORF-Enterprise and RMS Austria are launching the youth competition for the 13th time in order to communicate the advantages of radio to a broad public, both for companies and consumers. With the “Radio Ad Wonder” they are looking for the best spots to advertise on the radio in a creative, informative and eye-catching manner. Last year, copywriter David Hassbach got himselfthe 10,000 euros in prize money. A total of 28 papers were submitted.
“Creative radio advertising is fast, informative, entertaining and inspiring. Radio reaches everyone everywhere: in the morning in the shower, in the car, on a smartphone, at work or via voice agents. It is often only a few moments from the spot to the purchase decision. That makes radio an unbeatable ace in the advertising mix; for the grocer around the corner as well as for the large international corporation. The new campaign for the ‘radio ad miracle’ should convince you of these advantages in a convincing manner and with a wink ”, say the initiators.
