Marquee Brands Holiday Luncheon 2025

It's always nice to step away from busy schedules to share holiday cheer with colleagues and friends.

Our annual company luncheon was held yesterday in New York City. More than 145 employees representing 18 different labels from Marquee Brands Inc. attended the event at the midtown Manhattan establishment, Tanner Smith's. Attendees enjoyed a variety of small bites, cocktails, and great conversation. It was a wonderful time to celebrate the year's many accomplishments and boost everyone's energy for 2026!

Here are some photos, enjoy.
