NEW YORK – November 9, 2023 – The Radio Mercury Awards is pleased to announce Mitch Bennett, executive creative director, Baldwin&, as the 2024 chief judge for the 33rd annual Radio Mercury Awards competition.

"It's such an honor to be named chief judge for a show I love so much. I've always been fascinated with the tough assignment of writing a radio ad great enough to win at the Radio Mercury Awards," said Bennett. "It's a challenging medium with nowhere to hide - just concept, writing, and production. They all have to align perfectly. I can't wait to gather the jury and listen to this year's crop of contenders."
"We are so grateful for Mitch’s continued support of the awards and are thrilled for him to serve as chief judge," said Erica Farber, president and chief executive officer, RAB, and chair of the Radio Creative Fund.
