Little Caesars has announced the promotion of Senior Vice President of Marketing, Greg Hamilton, to Chief Marketing Officer, effective immediately. Hamilton will replace Jeff Klein, who left the Detroit-based pizza chain in June to join the Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen team.
Hamilton – who has 15 years of experience in the fast food industry – was an integral part of the marketing team at Little Caesars when the pizza chain aired its first Super Bowl commercial, was featured at both in the latest Batman movie and in the Call of duty video game. and was named the Official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL.
“We have such talent at Little Caesars, and we are thrilled to be able to promote from within for this key role,” Dave Scrivano, president and CEO of Little Caesars said in a statement. “Greg has been an innovative leader here for some time and we are confident he will propel our brand even further as Chief Marketing Officer.”
Over the past three years, Hamilton has held five roles within the company, rising very quickly from vice president of media to CMO. Prior to joining Little Caesars, he was Vice President of Media at Wingstop and also held several leadership positions at Wendy’s and media communications agencies.
“I am thrilled to take on this important role at such a prestigious company, with a group of people I already respect so much,” Hamilton said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing to work with the Little Caesars team and our incredible community of franchisees to continue driving brand growth.”
