Anna Pitera DeVito Named Head of Shubert Organization's New Production Marketing Department

Anna Pitera DeVito, currently the Marketing Director for Broadway hits Some Like It Hot and A Doll’s House, will join Shubert in-house to helm a newly created Production Marketing department. 

Beginning in July, DeVito will bring her vast skills and knowledge base to create a new offering from Shubert, providing client productions in any theatre with expert marketing support through every phase of a show’s life. Previously, shows have only been able to hire a Marketing Director on a one-off or freelance basis, but DeVito will now be able to integrate her expert services into Shubert’s larger suite of marketing and data amenities.

In her current role as Marketing Director for Some Like It Hot and A Doll’s House, DeVito sets marketing strategy and leads integrated marketing campaign development for each production. Previously, as Global Marketing Director for Dear Evan Hansen at Stacey Mindich Productions, Anna oversaw the advertising agencies and press offices that worked across three companies of the show, driving the development, implementation, and execution of the show’s marketing campaigns, in addition to handling some producing responsibilities for all three companies. Prior to that, DeVito served as the account lead in-house at Serino Coyne. 

“Marketing Directors have become vital to the success of every Broadway show,” said Charles Flateman, Executive Vice President of The Shubert Organization, “Incorporating Anna’s skills into Shubert’s already robust team of marketing and ticketing experts allows us to provide a holistic approach and cost-effective array of marketing services to shows, both in Shubert houses and beyond, that was previously unheard of.”

DeVito’s work on the Shubert-produced Some Like It Hot will continue as she moves in-house, and she plans to offer her services to new and existing shows, including those not in Shubert theatres, as opportunities arise. These changes are just the first of several steps, over the coming months and years, designed to evolve Shubert’s Ticketing and Marketing even deeper in alignment with both audiences and shows.
