Olivier Francois enters the Forbes “CMO Hall of Fame”

 

Olivier Francois, FIAT CEO and Stellantis Global CMO, is being inducted into the inaugural class of the Forbes CMO Hall of Fame, recognizing those chief marketers who have, or in 2022 would have, been recognized on the Forbes World’s Most Influential CMOs List, five times or more.

 

"The winners of tomorrow are the Brands that won't be afraid to throw out the old recipe, embrace disruption and create a new playbook," said Olivier Francois, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Stellantis. "Consumers won’t fall for marketing, but they still want to fall in love with Brands. They love being told stories. They love products that help them be and do better, and ones they're proud to own. Because pride is the currency of success in the modern-day word-of-mouth known as 'social media', at Stellantis, with 14 brands on four continents, we use the most cutting-edge tactics and formulas to secure the new deliverables that we call impressions. 

 

But if there is something I have learned from my 14 years tenure, it’s that one lasting impression counts more than a billion impressions. So, let’s find the most meaningful impression, the most relatable, the one that may spark an emotion, a vocation or will ignite a movement. Let's use data to connect it with the right audience without never losing sight of what really matters, there is no algorithm for the thrill. I’m deeply honored to receive this nomination, which I want to share with my team wherever they are in the world, across all the brands they represent.”

 

In addition to revealing the 2022 winners, the creation of the “Forbes CMO Hall of Fame list” was announced this year. This list will feature the CMOs who have used their influence over the last decade to improve their brands, business, the marketing community and even culture as a whole. To get into the exclusive “Forbes CMO Hall of Fame list” the magazine looked at those who have been on the “World’s Most Influential CMOs list” for 5 years or more and continue to do great work in their respective filed. Olivier Francois first made the list in 2014, ranking 15th, and continued to be on it in 2015 (4th place), 2020 (5th place), 2021 (8th place) and again in 2022.
