Madison Benton, Marketing Manager

When we first met Madison, we were blown away by her story. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Madison is a digital marketer with a theater background whose credits include a Cher tribute show and cruise ship performances across the globe, with no signs of slowing down.

Then came the pandemic, which thrust Madison into a period of uncertainty on the high seas. Stuck on a cruise ship for 13 months with no performances, no guests, and no pomp under any circumstance, she used that time to gain clarity around her purpose. The experience allowed her to focus on connection, creativity, and recognize her own resilience. It strengthened both sides of her professionally: the performer who lives in emotion and storytelling, and the marketer who knows how to communicate meaningful guest experiences.

Confident, creative, and analytical, Madison is a triple threat in more ways than one. Before joining ABD Creative, her digital marketing career focused on full funnel marketing, Meta advertising, and brand development for hospitality and wellness brands.

Madison is driven by making people feel something, whether through a marketing campaign or by stepping into a character on stage or screen. Through these experiences, she’s learned a universal truth: no matter where you are in the world or who your audience is, people connect through stories, moments, and memories.

Madison is happiest on an airplane with a mimosa, at home with her cats, or jetting off with her husband (or his wallet). Her ultimate goal in life is to build a family that does great things for the earth and its people.
