This week I am going to take this time and space to say congratulations to a few very deserving people.\u00a0At the same time, I hope to provide a small lesson on how to create great advertising for your clients.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

First, as you may know, the Mercury Awards finalists were announced this past week.\u00a0I am extremely proud to announce that two of my past sales reps and my first sales manager are all finalists.\u00a0Jay Murphy (Haugo Broadcasting, Rapid City, SD) has a finalist entry in the\u00a0Humor\u00a0category. Mark Tollefson and Leigh Anglin (Results Radio \u2013 Townsquare Media, Sioux Falls, SD) are finalists in the\u00a0Best Use of Music in an Ad\u00a0category.\u00a0All three of these individuals and I worked together for nearly 30 years at Results Radio, where I was the Sales Manager.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Let me be clear, I am not taking credit for any of this.\u00a0All three of these individuals are super talented and I learned every bit as much, and maybe even more, from them as they ever learned from me.\u00a0But, as we did and they still do at Results Radio, they work as a TEAM where the #1 goal is to get results for their advertisers.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Mark has worked with Sorlien Electric and has been creating and producing effective ads for them for nearly 20 years. \u00a0Actually, he has created many more ads for Sorlien and others that are as good as or even better than the one nominated.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Leigh has been a creative \u201cgenius\u201d since the beginning of time and has been the brains behind many extremely creative and effective campaigns.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Jay recently moved on from Results Radio to become the SM for a group in Rapid City. Since his arrival, Rapid City has never heard a higher level of quality radio ads. Rapid City radio is better because of Jay.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

How did they get to this level? They all have common denominators: \u00a01) They all have a burning desire to help their clients succeed 2) They\u2019ve been trained by the very best (Don Jacobs, GM Results Radio, Sioux Falls, SD and Roy H. Williams, aka, Wizard of Ads) and 3) They never stop learning and trying to get better.\u00a0If you were to ask Jay, Mark, or Leigh how they create these types of campaigns, they might say, \u201cAsk a lot of deep questions\u201d, \u201cDon\u2019t worry about what others think<\/em>\u201d, \u201cJust write, be creative<\/em>\u201d,\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cDo what’s right for the client\u201d!<\/em><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Thank you for letting me brag on these great and talented people. They deserve the recognition.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0Congrats to Mark, Leigh, Jay\u2026 and Don!<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

I\u2019m pretty proud of them!<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
