Maureen has trained hundreds of writers and producers to write more effective commercials. She is one of the most-awarded Creative Directors in North America with several Clio and “International Radio Festival” Awards to her credit.  Perhaps her most notorious piece of radio creative was CFNY-FM’s Mosquito Repellent: a promo advising listeners that CFNY’s incredible high-frequency tone would chase away mosquitoes. Mosquito Repellent won a variety of Canadian and international awards and was featured in Ad Week Magazine as a ground-breaking new radio promotion. Bulley wrote this and many other great radio commercials and promos during her 10-year tenure as Creative Director at 102.1 CFNY, (known now as 102.1 The Edge). “The Spirit of Radio” became famous for the zany, irreverent style of its commercials and station promos.
