Jack Hinchliffe to succeed Meg Farren as KFC’s CMO
KFC, leading Quick Service Restaurant, is set to promote Jack Hinchliffe from marketing director to CMO in the UK following the announcement of Meghan Farren’s departure.
Commenting on the company’s decision, KFC UK and Ireland General Manager Paula MacKenzie said: “Jack is the perfect choice, having played such a huge part in transforming our brand in recent years working alongside Meg and the team.”
He added that “His outstanding ability to pair his deep commercial understanding and operational expertise make him a great leader, not just a great marketer. As Meg hands the baton to Jack, our brand health has never been in a better place or our sales performance so strong.”
Expressing his profound commitment to deliver on the role, Jack Hinchliffe says he is looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead.
I’m hugely proud of the achievements of the last few years and equally as excited about writing the next chapter of this iconic brand’s story,” he said.
Hinchliffe added “I am honoured to be leading a team that represents the very best marketing talent in the industry and as our creative effectiveness continues to climb, I am focused on continuing to make KFC a great experience for our customers and more profitable for our franchisees.”
Hinchliffe has spent nearly seven years at KFC, joining in 2015 as senior marketing manager and quickly gaining promotion to head of innovation later that same year. He was then named innovation director in 2016, before becoming marketing director in 2019.
