Lerner, Shapiro To Depart Hub

Radio in the Nude and Shapiro Music, two of New England’s most frequently awarded commercial production companies, will soon leave Boston and relocate to other markets.
The owners of both firms said the continuing consolidation and contraction in the local market, resulting in fewer agencies producing commercials, drove their decisions to relocate.
Radio in the Nude owner Andy Lerner in the next few months will move his business to state-of-the-art, 2,500-square-foot office space in Santa Monica, Calif.
Noting that he spends several weeks a month in Los Angeles casting for spots and working on other aspects of his business, Lerner said he simply grew tired of constantly traveling.
