NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MMA, the global trade group architecting the future of marketing, today announced several important additions to its North America Board, including the CMOs of McDonald's, Calvin Klein, AmeriSave Mortgage Corporation, Brunswick Corporation and Bose, as well as the CEO of Celtra and others.

MMA's North America Board is now led by Amit Shah, President of 1-800-Flowers.com. He assumes the position of Chair from Norman de Greve, the CMO of CVS Health. De Greve will remain on the Board as Chair Emeritus. (A complete list of both new and existing North America Board members follows.)

"Greg and his team constantly find so many areas in marketing where they can provide insight and new thinking and we are all better off for their significant research, valued expertise and constant challenging of the status quo.” - Amit Shah, President, 1-800-Flowers.com

Post this

Today's news, announced by MMA's CEO Greg Stuart, further strengthens non-profit MMA's position as the industry organization with the greatest representation of marketing chiefs on its boards, which now feature 36 CMOs in all.

The Board additions are the latest in MMA's transformation into a global force for reimagining the discipline of marketing via think tanks, events, research, thought leadership and other initiatives.

"1-800-Flowers.com has continued to benefit from what the MMA has accomplished — their work really matters to our business," Shah said. "Greg and his team constantly find so many areas in marketing where they can provide insight and new thinking and we are all better off for their significant research, valued expertise and constant challenging of the status quo."

"The North America Board is a very special group that wants to challenge everything we as marketers thought to be true — they have led so much of MMA's best work," Stuart added. "We are moving toward every board member executing some part of MMA's agenda for marketing transformation."

While the ongoing pandemic has made an historic impact on the global economy and global business, MMA this year added over 150 new members globally and continued to make notable strides. Among them: the expansion of its global think tanks and the launch of its Great Marketing Identifiers Debates series.

Under its Marketing Attribution Think Tank (MATT), MMA wrapped its Great Marketing Growth Frameworks Debates series with 12 sessions, 13,000 registrations and 4,000 attendees. MMA also updated its key Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) acceleration tools, including the MTA DataMap, MTA Tactical Success Guide, and MTA Provider RFI Template & Provider Scoring Tool. A whitepaper on Outcomes-Based Marketing 2.0 (OBM2) was released, as was an OBM2 implementation guide. OBM2 consulting sessions were conducted with 19 member companies, while an academic paper for OBM2 was completed for submission.

As part of its Marketing Org Think Tank (MOSTT), this year MMA partners MarCaps identified the capabilities leading to Winning Marketing Org (WMO) linked to financial performance, and created the Modern Marketing Capabilities map that include 72 capabilities defining the modern marketing organization. MMA's Data in Marketing Think Tank (DATT) was launched in 2021 with $450,000 in funding. A Data Maturity CMO Benchmarking Study and Tool were released, in association with EY. The association also produced a 55 page Brand Safety Strategy Guide including practical worksheets and research with Oxford University, which was supported by a webinar series with partners BSI and Twitter.
