With CEO Carlos Tavares set to leave in 2026, the company is searching for new leadership amidst slumping US sales—a 21% drop, with Ram and Dodge experiencing double-digit declines. This leadership change is pivotal for CMOs as it will affect brand strategy and marketing budgets. Stellantis is also launching several electric vehicles (EVs) later this year, including the Ram 1500 REV and Jeep Wagoneer S, aligning with global sustainability trends. CMOs need to craft compelling marketing campaigns to position these EVs effectively, emphasizing benefits like lower emissions and cost savings. Additionally, the company aims for 50% of its US sales to be electric by 2030, necessitating a data-driven and agile marketing approach.</p> <h2>Ruth Furman's SEO PR Innovations</h2> <p>Next, we highlight Ruth Furman of ImageWords Communications, who has been nominated for the 2024 Top Tech Awards in Las Vegas for her innovative approach to SEO PR. Furman’s strategy integrates social media, SEO, and digital marketing to amplify brand visibility and sales. This holistic approach is a game-changer for CMOs, as it enhances online presence and drives organic traffic. By embedding media engagements into keyword-rich content and distributing it across social media, brands can create a cohesive and effective marketing strategy.</p> <h2>Meta Platforms' Celebrity Voices for AI Chatbot</h2> <p>Lastly, we explore Meta Platforms' introduction of celebrity voices for its Meta AI chatbot, featuring actors like Judi Dench, Kristen Bell, and John Cena. This feature, available across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, offers new avenues for customer engagement by creating personalized interactions. Meta's integration of generative AI into its platforms also presents opportunities for content creation and customer service, helping CMOs streamline marketing efforts and improve customer satisfaction.</p> <p>In conclusion, these developments in business and technology provide exciting opportunities for CMOs. By staying informed and adapting strategies, CMOs can navigate the evolving marketing landscape and drive their brands to new heights.</p><br/> <br/>Links:<br/><p><a href='https://electrek.co/2024/09/23/jeep-ram-owner-looking-for-new-ceo-us-sales-crash/'>Jeep, Ram owner begins search for a new CEO as US sales crash</a><br/><a href='https://nevadabusiness.com/2024/09/ruth-furman-of-imagewords-nominated-for-tech-awards-honor/'>Ruth Furman of ImageWords nominated for Tech Awards honor</a><br/><a href='https://www.ibtimes.com/robot-dog-hunts-down-pests-nests-help-ai-3744345'>Robot Dog Hunts Down Pests' Nests With Help From AI</a><br/><a href='https://gazette.com/news/us-world/exclusive-metas-ai-chatbot-to-start-speaking-in-the-voices-of-judi-dench-john-cena/article_5ef9fd55-de4b-50d4-b8f9-6a3b061f5051.html'>Exclusive-Meta's AI chatbot to start speaking in the voices of Judi Dench, John Cena, others, source says</a></p>
