People’s Choice CMO Poll Update: Two Newbies Move Into The Top Five!

People’s Choice CMO Poll Update: Two Newbies Move Into The Top Five!

The People’s Choice CMO race is proving to be quite the spectacle, with the top five reshuffled once more and a couple of new faces now right in the mix.

Having led right from the start, Flight Centre’s Clinton Hearne continues at the front of the CMO pack. However, the gap between him and second-placed Lara Thom from Guzman y Gomez has closed massively, with barely anything separating the two marketing chiefs.

KFC’s Kristi Woolrych has made good ground to gallop from fifth into third, Seismic’s Iris Chan has made her top five debut in fourth, and Manelle Merhi from Kennards Hire has stormed her way up the leaderboard into fifth.
