“Famous Ranch Spots Picked ‘Best Of’ In Poll”

The ALBANY TIMES-UNION readers voted the Radio Ranch’s CapitalAreaHelpWanted.com spots “Best of Radio” in the newspaper’s annual 2006 poll. In recognizing the radio spots as the best radio commercials played in the past year, the newspaper said, “Most local spots, whether they be TV or radio, have an amateurish quality that conjures the same word to many: Smallbany.”

But the radio commercials for this job placement site are amusing...mini-plays. Think of many of your favorite Super-Bowl commercials. While most amusing commercials fail at their primary goal -- imprinting the name and purpose of the product being pitched -- CapitalAreaHelpWanted.com is a long name, but its ads provide amazing results.”
Eric P. Straus, President & CEO of RegionalHelpWanted.com, stated, “We're thrilled that the people of Albany voted our radio campaign the best. As one of the largest radio advertisers in the country, it’s nice to know that our approach is appreciated.” Bill Cloutier, Executive Vice President, echoed Straus’ sentiments when he said, “we take our hats off to the campaign’s creative talent. The Famous Radio Ranch of Hollywood -- founded by Dick Orkin and Christine Coyle in 1982 -- is perhaps the best creative production company creating radio today.”
