Atlanta, GA, Nov. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Building sustained growth in today’s crowded consumer marketing landscape is no small feat. Doing so on a repeated basis – while improving the marketing landscape for both internal and external publics – takes the expertise of a true leader. It is thus that Ahmet Abaci has joined the Southeast Team at Chief Outsiders -- a leading provider of fractional Chief Marketing Officers -- with the goal of delivering his winning formula to small- and mid-market businesses.
Abaci has delivered next-level marketing insights to companies in the apparel, sporting goods, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and CPG verticals – powering revenue growth and sustainable change while defining customer-centric strategies that improve the consumer experience.
Abaci’s executive marketing leadership journey has included stops at Spalding, Mizuno, SSL International (Reckitt Benckiser), Bausch & Lomb, and Kimberly Clark. While serving as VP Marketing at Mizuno, Abaci’s marketing strategies powered double-digit growth in overall net sales while Abaci fashioned a new comprehensive digital strategy for the sporting goods manufacturer.
“Ahmet is adept at combining the innovative nature of challenger brands with the discipline of blue-chip global companies to deliver lasting change in performance and capabilities,” said Tom McCrary, Managing Partner of Chief Outsiders’ Southeast Team. “His experience, dedication to fostering a collaborative internal culture, and focus on excellence, makes Ahmet a perfect addition to Chief Outsiders.”
