Before establishing NB&A, Nadia Bronson served as president of international theatrical marketing and distribution at Universal during her twenty-five year tenure with the company. During that time, Bronson oversaw the international campaigns of hundreds of films with combined international box office surpassing four billion dollars, including many of the industry’s top grossing films of all-time. As founder of NB&A, Bronson has brought that same success to our current clients. Over the past two years, NB&A oversaw the Golden Globe campaigns for films receiving an astounding 93 nominations, as well as 21 wins including four best film awards (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Lost in Translation, Chicago, The Hours). In May 2002 at the Cannes Film Festival, Bronson was awarded France’s highest cultural honor, inducted as an officer in the Order of Arts and Letters for “contributions that have illuminated culture in France and around the world”.

Aside from founder Bronson, NB&A has a team of associates including Thomas Castañeda, Steven O’Dell, Tanya Alves and Andrew Thomas.
