For the third year running, Smart Telecom has signed up to sponsor the 2007 Radio Advertising Awards. The 2006 event set another record in terms of entries and attendance and was widely viewed as the best ceremony in its 14 year history.

Rhona Bradshaw, Head of Marketing, Smart Telecom, said “This is our third year supporting the Radio Advertising Awards. Radio is a great medium and the Awards have grown in tandem with Smart Telecom’s own growth. We are delighted to be on board once again and look forward to an even better event in 2007.”

Committee chairman John O’Connor, Managing Director of IRS, said: “We are thrilled that Smart Telecom is once again sponsoring the Radio Advertising Awards. Radio in Ireland is unsurpassed as a medium as demonstrated by the new stations launching into the market and the fierce competition for new licences. Smart Telecom sees the value that Radio brings to their media schedule and we all look forward to working together to showcase Radio as the uniquely Irish medium that it is.”
