CLIO (CLEYE-oh, CLEE-oh) 1.
The muse of history In Greek mythology, Clio or Kleio is the muse of heroic poetry and history. Like all the muses, she is a daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. She had one son, Hyacinth, with the King of Macedonia, Pierus. Some sources say she was also the mother of Hymenaios.

The Clio Awards are given to reward creative excellence in advertising and design. They are awarded in a number of fields, including: TV, Print, Outdoor, Radio, Integrated Campaign, Innovative Media, Design, Internet, Content & Contact, and Student work.
The judges are instructed to value ideas more highly than mere execution as they look at all entries submitted and select a shortlist. From that, they vote to award the very best work with statues—bronze, silver or gold. The Clio judging process allows for more than one Gold, Silver or Bronze winner, or in some cases, no winner at all, within individual categories. If judges determine a Gold winner is “best-of-the-best” in the category, the Grand Clio is given to that entry. Only 1% of all entries receive awards, which are given at two separate award shows during a four day Clio Festival in South Beach, Miami, Florida in May.
In order to be eligible for the 1984 Clio Awards, Chiat/Day ran Apple Computer's 1984 commercial for the Macintosh computer prior to Super Bowl XVIII. In December 1983, they purchased time on KMVT in Twin Falls, Idaho after their normal sign-off and recorded the broadcast in order to qualify.
