Promax Expects Big Turnout For Summit

The promotion organization’s first event for promotion and creative services managers and staffers at TV stations, is drawing way more registrants than expected — 450 with two weeks still to go. Six syndicators and ABC and NBC are part of the reason. They’re subsidizing the attendance of stations employees, paying up to $1,000 of their expenses. The Station Summit grew out of talks last fall among marketing executives at the syndicators, who were looking for an efficient way to engage stations in their promotions.

New Promax Summit Targets Station GMs
