Milwaukee beer company named finalist in radio awards
Milwaukee-based Horny Goat Brewing Company was recently nominated to receive the Best Radio Commercial Award at the 2010 Radio Mercury Awards.
The Radio Mercury Awards were established in 1992 and is the only competition exclusively devoted to rewarding effective and creative radio commercials. Horny Goat was nominated for its Three Beers radio spot, a spoof on the popular children’s story Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
The annual Radio Mercury Awards competition draws entries from advertising agencies, production houses, radio stations, and educational institutions across the country. Approximately 17,000 commercials have competed for over $2.9 million in prizes.
“Beer is fun and wanted to have an entertaining advertisement to complement that,” said Jim Sorenson, owner and managing partner of Horny Goat. “It’s hard to keep the attention of listeners for the full sixty second commercial, so we needed something to draw them in.”
The 2010 Radio Mercury Awards were held in September. Horny Goat advanced to the finals along with McDonald’s, Sprint and MINI Cooper.
