CRN International is the major producer of award winning radio programming and promotional campaigns for major national advertisers. As the leader in radio marketing, the company is recognized for service, innovation and delivering measurable results for its clients. CRN has made radio an integral part of the marketing mix for more than 30 years. From a bedroom in his parents' home and a studio in a friend's basement, founder Barry Berman took his experience producing his own news/talk show at the University of Connecticut, added a brief stint as a news director, music director, cooking show host, talk show host and salesman at a 500 watt daytime radio station and created the Connecticut Radio Network. In addition to convincing radio stations to carry this start-up news, sports and information network in the early years, Berman spent a lot of time behind the microphone interviewing leaders including Ella Grasso, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George Bush and breaking major news stories. He sold a radio program idea to Aetna Life and Casualty and the transition to CRN International was made. Among the many awards CRN has received over the years, highlights include Adweek's Most Creative Use of Media Award and the Spire Award for Promotion of the Year, the highest accolade given out by the American Marketing Association. CRN International has appeared numerous times on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing private companies in America. Today CRN is recognized as the leader in radio marketing and is staffed by a unique team of innovative program and promotions directors, writers, producers, talent and marketing and media professionals. CRN is headquartered in Connecticut with offices in Minneapolis, Rochester and Seattle.
