Stephanie McMahon continues to add to her accolades in the business world.
WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon has secured the number two spot when Forbes released their annual ‘World’s Most Influential CMO’ list earlier today.
McMahon would slot in behind Netflix’s Chief Marketing Officer Bozoma Saint-John.
From Forbes:
While she may be the only CMO with “professional wrestler” on her resume, Stephanie McMahon an influential marketer far beyond the WWE ring. Along with overseeing the creation of the bio-secure “ThunderDome” during the Covid-19 crisis, McMahon also helped drive fan engagement for live and streaming matches, navigated the return to in-person events in July and built one of the largest TikTok followings for a sports property.
McMahon has also led cross-company collaborations. To help Netflix promote its Army Of The Dead show, WWE had zombies circle the ring and become part of the show. And earlier this month, the WWE partnered with Connor’s Cure and The V Foundation to raise money for fighting pediatric cancer. She’s also helped The Ad Council with its vaccine marketing including PSAs for people to learn more about their options for getting vaccinated.
WWE sent out a statement congratulating McMahon on the feat:
Stephanie McMahon has secured the No. 2 spot in the ninth annual ranking of Forbes’ World’s Most Influential Chief Marketing Officers!
Each year, Forbes recognizes the top 50 CMOs who are shaping business, culture and society. In a distinguished pool of more than 500 CMOs and brand candidates from a wide range of Forbes lists and external lists such as the World Federation Of Advertisers and the Brand Finance Global 500, Stephanie has been recognized on this prestigious list amongst leaders at Netflix, Peloton, Mastercard, TikTok, McDonald’s, Apple, Proctor & Gamble, Amazon, Facebook and Walmart, among others.
Please join all of us at WWE in congratulating Chief Marketing Officer Stephanie McMahon for this tremendous honor.
