Voyage Marketing Team heads to the Pride Parade

The Not Wanted on the Voyage marketing team joins forces with Broadway in Chicago yet again for another exciting promotional opportunity! This time: the Chicago Pride Parade!

Read on for some thoughts and photos about the thrilling experience:

“Thanks to everyone at Broadway in Chicago for hosting us on the float. It was such a fun day! Of course, my neck is sore from flipping my hair to the music, I have a bruise the size of an orange on my arm and gravel in my knee from when I wiped out and I look like a tomato…but I wouldn’t trade any of those things!” - Koko Cooper Marketing & Communications Manager, Northwestern University)

“Goodness. After a morning of torrential downpours, my hopes were low for the day of this parade. With raincoat in hand and sunscreen nowhere to be seen, I left the house expecting that even this long-running Chicago tradition might not make it through the rain. I was about as wrong as could be. What followed was a day of endless sunshine, dog tag crazy fans, cut-off t-shirts and tan lines that will be visible for weeks. Thank you Chicago for letting your “Freak Flag Fly” and embracing us so warmly.” – Steve McQuown (Marketing Director, NOT WANTED ON THE VOYAGE)

“This was the first time I’ve ever been to a Pride Parade so I had no idea what to expect. What an amazing experience it was to interact with thousands of happy people sharing so much love (never have so many people wanted to hug and kiss me since I was a baby!). My favorite moment was dancing along the street and seeing so many people singing along to the songs blasted by Broadway In Chicago (there are more theatre enthusiasts than you might think)! Singing showtunes and dancing down Chicago streets is something you can’t do everyday…let’s change that!” – Justin Barbin (Marketing Team, NOT WANTED ON THE VOYAGE)
