"Clio has been awarding Radio advertising since 1966—our ongoing commitment to creative excellence in all mediums and our highly-commended judging process lead us to this exciting appointment of a dedicated Radio Jury," said Ami. "We're delighted to have Austin Howe joining Clio's roster of outstanding international creatives serving as jury chairs."
