Stellantis Global Chief Marketing Officer Olivier François Named as One of Newest Inductees into the AAF Advertising Hall of Fame

 

  • Olivier François is one of six industry icons to receive Advertising’s most esteemed honor. 

  • In its 70-plus years, only 282 advertising legends and 12 global companies have been elected to the Hall of Fame. 

  • Highly acclaimed campaigns under Francois’ leadership include the Primetime Emmy® Award-winning “Imported from Detroit” featuring Eminem, “Farmer” with radio’s legendary Paul Harvey, Primetime Emmy® Award-nominated “Halftime in America” with Clint Eastwood, Primetime Emmy® Award-nominated “Groundhog Day” starring Bill Murray and “The Middle” featuring Bruce Springsteen. 

  • Award comes as François prepares to relaunch the all-new, all-electric Fiat 500e into North America. 

  • The 2024 Honorees will be feted at a gala ceremony to be held on April 25, 2024, at Cipriani Wall Street. 

The American Advertising Federation (AAF), the “Unifying Voice for Advertising,” announced today the inductees into the 2024 AAF Advertising Hall of Fame (AHOF). Olivier François, Global Chief Marketing Officer for Stellantis, is one of six industry luminaries joining this prestigious group. The announcement was celebrated during a closing bell ceremony on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) earlier this week. 
 
This year’s honorees were chosen following a rigorous review overseen by a Council of Judges comprised of an esteemed group of industry leaders and fellow members of the Hall of Fame. In addition to François, the inductees include (in alphabetical order): Jerri DeVard, CEO and Founder, Black Executive CMO Alliance (BECA); Jeff Goodby, Co-Chairman, Goodby Silverstein & Partners; Bill Imada, Co-Founder, Chairman & Chief Connectivity Officer, IW Group; Marc Pritchard, Chief Brand Officer, P&G; and Donna Weinheim, Former Partner, Executive Creative Director, BBDO; Cliff Freeman & Partners. 

François has always sought to go beyond the status-quo, with a remarkable talent for pairing the commercial with a genuine sensibility for socially responsible causes and environmental ethics. He has somehow reached remarkable sales figures and global brand recognition by enlisting distinguished world leaders, cultural icons from across the film, television and music industries, and world-renowned environmentalists. As François has said, “The greatest Brand value I can deliver is to show that our Brands have values.”   

“I’m overwhelmed with gratitude receiving this recognition,” said François. “It simply would not have been possible without a house of now 14 iconic American, French, German and Italian brands that together compose a symphony. A CMO can play one brand beautifully, but with the accompaniment of many distinguished brands, along with the great number of extraordinarily talented, relentless, and fearless people on our Stellantis teams and the incredible agency rosters across the world, who together have lifted our brands to the highest heights of success, we can have a bit of fun.”   

Added François, “While these achievements often come at the end of one’s career, in my case, I like to think that after 15 years at the helm of our Group’s marketing team, I’m just getting started.” 

 François found a way to place the Dalai Lama in a Lancia by simply practicing what he preaches. To fight for human rights in Tibet utilizing Richard Gere during the Opening Ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics. To get Nobel Laureates’ Mikhael Gorbachev, Lech Walesa, and Nelson Mandela to appear in a spot to support free elections in Myanmar. To create with Sean Penn, virtually overnight, the campaign to support the Haitian Relief Organization and deploy Jeep vehicles to help distribute food and water. To stand up for Detroit in the midst of The Great Recession with bold music from Eminem and a brave message “Imported from Detroit” in the first-ever two-minute Super Bowl spot in the history of the Big Game that helped to lift an industry, a city and a nation. 

His proposal to use Carl Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” in a Jeep campaign was instrumental in launching the first ever electrified Jeep vehicle – the Jeep Wrangler 4xe. François used the fact that the Super Bowl fell on Groundhog Day for only the second time in the Big Game’s 54-year history to engage the elusive Bill Murray to reprise his famous role as Phil Connors from original 1993 film and create a spot that not only topped the Super Bowl charts but took top honors at the post pandemic Cannes Festival. But he didn’t stop there.   

François teamed with Bono’s RED® organization to use FIAT, the brand that he has been running as CEO since 2011, to commit millions to fight AIDS and Covid. Then, he was able to convince Bruce Springsteen to appear in the Super Bowl campaign for “The Middle,” the first time that Springsteen had ever agreed to appear in a television commercial for any brand, in “a call to all Americans to come together and seek common ground as we look collectively to the road ahead.” 

 In his boldest move yet, François who also holds the dual roles of CEO of FIAT Automobile and DS Automobiles, is using his role as FIAT CEO role to make the all-new Fiat 500e all-electric (and only electric): For François, passion for an ethical approach runs deeper than marketing, it actually affects vehicle production. During a lunch with Leonardo DiCaprio, he convinced the elusive environmentalist to stand alongside him in Europe as he strives to convert the most popular mass-market city car to all-electric to shape the future of urban mobility worldwide. 

Beyond marketing, François has extensive work experience in business operations, and sales through his leadership roles over the last three decades. He assumed leadership roles at Citroën before joining FIAT in 2005. He was the lead executive for Lancia S.p.A. and then Chrysler brand (2009) after the Chrysler Group and FIAT merger, and CEO of FIAT Automobiles since 2011. Concurrently, François has held the CMO role since 2008, retaining this position over two decades and three mergers. Although the company has evolved and reformed three times – from the Chrysler Group, to FCA to now Stellantis (in 2021), a group of 14 brands – François’ role as CMO has been a constant. 

François was recently named to Forbes CMO Hall of Fame (2022), after appearing on Forbes “World’s Most Influential CMO” list multiple times since 2014. He has twice been named the “Grand Brand Genius” by Adweek; named “Branding Power Player” by Billboard Magazine (2016) and Advertising Age named the Chrysler Group under his leadership, as the “Marketer of the Year” (2012).  
  
The Ram brand’s critically-acclaimed “Farmer” (2013) featuring the voice of legendary radio announcer Paul Harvey and the Dodge brand’s “Wisdom” (2016), recognizing the 100th anniversary of the brand and starring centenarians dispensing their own life wisdom, were named the Nielsen Automotive Ad of the Year.  
  
François and his team garnered a Primetime Emmy® Award for “Outstanding Commercial” for the “Imported from Detroit” Super Bowl campaign in 2012 and was nominated again for a Primetime Emmy® Award in the “Outstanding Commercial” category in 2012 for “Halftime in America” and in 2020 for the “Groundhog Day” Super Bowl commercial starring Bill Murray.  

 François holds a degree in economy, finance and marketing from Dauphine University (Paris) and a diploma from the IEP (Institute des Sciences Politiques, Paris). 

In its 70+ years, only 282 advertising legends and 12 global companies have been elected to the Hall of Fame.  The 2024 Honorees will be feted at a gala ceremony to be held on April 25, 2024, at Cipriani Wall Street. 
 
“The AAF Advertising Hall of Fame brings together the nation’s top leaders in American advertising, marketing, media, and tech and is another example of how AAF serves as the ‘Unifying Voice for Advertising,’” commented Steve Pacheco, President and CEO, American Advertising Federation. 
 
The Advertising Hall of Fame 

The Advertising Hall of Fame, organized by the AAF since 1949, helps the organization to sustain many of its key initiatives throughout the year surrounding education, diversity, grassroots advocacy, and professional development.  Induction into the Advertising Hall of Fame celebrates the most accomplished and legendary figures in advertising.  From their significant contributions to the advertising industry to their personal philanthropic involvement, honorees have set the precedent by which great leaders and accomplishments are measured today.

Why Your WhatsApp Messages Aren’t Sending (And What You Can Do To Fix It)

If you are unable to send or receive WhatsApp messages and it’s not due to a widespread outage, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue on your end.

The first thing to check is your internet connectivity. Poor or unstable internet connection is one of the main reasons for WhatsApp message delivery and reception failures. You can easily check your internet connection by opening a new webpage or doing a Google search. If your internet is working fine, then the problem is not related to your internet connection.

Another possible cause of WhatsApp connectivity issues is weak wireless connection or poor data connectivity. If you suspect this to be the problem, try moving closer to your Wi-Fi router and see if the situation improves. If not, a simple restart of the router might solve the problem. If you are using mobile data, consider going to an area with better mobile network coverage.

Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster pick-up to Debut at Goodwood

Ineos has announced that the long-awaited pick-up version of the Grenadier will be showcased at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next month. The vehicle, known as the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster, will be introduced alongside Ineos’ hydrogen-powered Grenadier, and will participate in the event’s famous hill climb.

Previously, the pick-up model was spotted during testing in extreme winter conditions on icy roads.

If you want to learn more about the Goodwood Festival of Speed, click here to read our preview.

Autocar confirmed last year that the Grenadier’s lineup will expand with the addition of a pick-up truck. The recent sighting of the pick-up without a camouflage wrap and fitted with chunky all-terrain tires has fueled speculation that it will possess similar off-road capabilities as its SUV-styled sibling.

During previous public road testing, the Grenadier pick-up did not feature a conventional load bed at the rear. This suggests that the commercial version of the Grenadier may offer various devices and storage compartments to cater to different applications, similar to its predecessor, the previous-generation Defender 130 pick-up.

The Grenadier pick-up will likely compete with popular trucks such as the Toyota Hilux and Volkswagen Amarok, both of which are expected to be updated using similar foundations next year. While Land Rover has not yet confirmed an open-backed version of the current Defender, they have hinted at the possibility, suggesting it would likely be a popular choice.

It is highly likely that the pick-up will follow the SUV’s engine options, which include six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines from BMW with outputs of 283bhp and 250bhp respectively. The addition of a pick-up bed may result in slight performance improvements and enhanced off-road capabilities due to a decrease in rear weight.

Inside, the Grenadier pick-up is expected to have a more utilitarian focus to support the demanding workload of a 4×4 pick-up. While the standard car prioritizes durability with features like drain holes in the floor and stain-resistant materials, the pick-up variant may be offered at a lower price point with fewer features and luxurious touches.

Watch 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Barnfind Get First Wash In 15 Years

After spending 28 years in a barn, the time has come for this 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE coupe to finally receive a much-needed wash. And after all the hard work, the classic coupe looks absolutely stunning.

According to reports, when this car was brand new, it was supposedly on display at either the New York or Chicago Auto Show. It boasts a black body with a sunroof and a red leather interior, and under the hood, you’ll find a powerful 2.2-liter inline-six engine.

As is customary, the first step in the cleaning process involves rinsing off the body to assess its true condition. While there are a few paint chips here and there, overall, the classic Mercedes looks fantastic. Polishing the black paint brings back its shine and luster.

The carpets and some door panels are stored in the trunk, but due to their fragile nature, WD Detailing avoids using a pressure washer on them as usual. Instead, the cleaners opt for compressed air to clear off any debris and then use a sprayer with soapy water.

The final step involves shining the exterior trim, including the grille and bumpers. By using some polish, the team is able to remove any pitting and bring back the metal’s original shine.

At the end of the video, the owner fires up the engine. After a few tries, it roars to life, which is quite impressive considering it had been sitting idle for such a long time. The car appears to be running well, and the owner is even able to drive the Mercedes away, which is remarkable for a vehicle that had been stored in a barn since 1995.

With Mercedes rapidly transitioning into an electric automaker, it will be fascinating to see if their future products can match the longevity of classic cars like this one. Models like the EQS and EQE are leading the way, featuring high-capacity batteries that allow for long driving distances between charges. And there are even more electric models on the horizon, such as the EQG, which is set to debut in late 2024 and will add an off-road-capable EV to Mercedes’ lineup.
