Who says no one gives a @#&% about marketers?

For the 2nd year in a row, we received a good ol’ fashioned poop ton of entries in our online Broadway Marketing Awards, where we give props to the people behind the props!

It was only just a few years ago that Broadway advertising and marketing firms started getting billing on the title pages of programs, believe it or not.  But the response we’ve gotten from these awards has demonstrated that you want these folks to get the spotlight, and you want them to take a bow.

And now that your votes have been tallied, a few of them will be able to do just that!

Ladies and gentlemen of the Broadway Universe, I give you the winners (in bold) of the 2014 Broadway Marketing Awards!
