Polk & Co. Elevates Two Longtime Agents to Partners

The promotions expand management depth to preserve client service for a rapidly growing roster of Broadway and cultural clients.

Overview

  • Polk & Co. announced on Thursday, June 11, 2026 that Colgan McNeil and Kelly Stotmeister have been promoted to partners alongside founder Matt Polk.
  • As partners McNeil and Stotmeister will share leadership duties, advise clients at a strategic level, and be available to staff on campaign planning and execution.
  • Both agents have spent more than a decade at the firm and bring a combined 20-plus years of experience overseeing campaigns across Broadway, Off-Broadway, film, television and nonprofit arts organizations.
  • Polk & Co. cites recent commercial and awards success — including representing multiple Tony-winning and Grammy-winning productions and securing seven Tony Awards in 2026 — as a reason for institutionalizing broader leadership.
  • The promotion is the first expansion of Polk & Co.'s partnership since the agency was founded in 2013 and comes at a moment of wider change in Broadway publicity houses following recent ownership moves at other firms.
