PROMAX awards recognize the best in promotion and marketing in broadcast and cable of all of North America.  Competition is rigorous.  In fact, in years past the PROMAX committee has declined to award GOLD honors in categories for which no winner seems outstanding enough.

“PROMAX is an international organization in which local TV stations compete with networks, cable companies and agencies,” said WRAL-TV Promotion Manager Shelly Leslie.  “Making it to the finalist stage is indeed an honor.”

This year PROMAX received a record 11,000 entries.

“This is a HUGE honor and I’m so thrilled a panel of judges saw how creative the work was and awarded them for their efforts,” FOX 50 Marketing Promotion Manager Kevin Kolbe said of his FOX 50 winning producers.  “We know how good they are, and it’s great when others recognize their talents, too.”
