As the authority on the startling world of industrial musicals, as well as a comedy veteran, Steve delights in sharing his treasures and stories with corporate, academic, and general audiences.
For corporate audiences, Steve delivers a multimedia presentation that’s unlike anything else. With plenty of song and video clips, album covers, fun anecdotes and thought-provoking insights, it’s a journey into a retro business world with lessons that still resonate today.
Steve and his presentation on industrial musicals drew a huge and enthusiastic crowd for our event. His mix of humor, storytelling and passion made for an engaging, entertaining and surprisingly heartfelt evening. I am certain the hidden world of industrial musicals just gained an additional 500 fans and piqued their curiosity to learn more (and to watch Bathtubs Over Broadway).

Steve was a very successful part of the BMA14 line up. His humorous look at the industrial musicals of marketing’s past was spot on for our target audience of B2B professionals. Presenting the stories and songs that showed the connection between B2B marketing and Broadway was a great session for the attendees. Steve was funny and timely, and provided a great spark at the event. Steve’s humor and smart take on his book, Everything’s Coming Up Profits: The Golden Age of Industrial Musicals, would be a great addition to the line up for any event.

Anyone in marketing or sales will appreciate Steve Young’s tour of industrial musicals from a forgotten era. Steve’s witty presentation is the perfect way to reintroduce this to America. He had our staff laughing… and asking lots of questions.
