Judge's Comments - 2016 MARCE Awards
"Really well written, and the voice actors were spot on. I laughed several times. Very funny!"
- Andy Hedberg
"I really had to put some thought into finding something to criticize. There's nothing perfect and there's always something that could be better, but in this case, it's a challenge to find."
- Emmett Andrews
"Great voice acting by the men, creative writing, and great use of sound effects."
- Rachel McGrath

Judge's Comments - 2014 ADDY Awards
"I selected Binkelman's On Hold Marketing because of the unexpected comedy, quirkiness and edge! You actually want to stay on hold and hear what is said next. The script's humor is dry and sharp. The music and voices are catchy. I think it's very fun and creative. It paints Binkelman's personality as being comedic, but humble. I also like to see creative pushing boundaries and not too afraid to be a little on edge."

"Actually made me laugh. Funny and well written."
- Kurt Kleidon, Director of Online Marketing / Kleidon & Associates
"Nice delivery of the humor! The little lines like 'office nudity' thrown into the mix would keep an on-hold caller waiting to hear what comes next."
- Ricky Roo, VP of Creative / TM Studios
"Terrific!"

"First and foremost, I think the radio spots sound amazing. The jingle is catchy. I have no doubt that it will bounce between our audience's ears like a beachball does at a Nickelback concert. People will get angry at us because they can't get the jingle out of their heads, which is exactly what we want! Kudos on creating it."
- Mike Crotty, President / Spirit Services

"Different and witty. Comforting voice. Funny and out of left field (in a good way)."
- Adam Schneider, Creative & Imaging Director and Voice Talent
"This is not at all what I would expect! And that's a good thing. Being entertained while being on hold is better than being bored. This also provided information that I would most likely retain after getting off the call. I would definitely want to check out this place..."
- Kelly Mercer, Multimedia Specialist / Hafenbrack Marketing

Judges' Comments - 2009 MARCE Awards
"Superbly written copy and extremely dry humor that was a perfect match for what could've been a dull subject. I laughed out loud at points, and if a caller starts with that reaction, it's a great way to start a conversation."
"Very clever writing and some funny moments. Mocks some conventional cliches, and I believe that would endear the client to the caller who's heard many a phone message..."
"That's the way to do it. Keep the messages short, fun and to the point."
