Score 73 - Account in Jeopardy: Chopt taps CMO to fuel expansion plans

Build-your-own salad chain Chopt has named Julie Atkinson its CMO, effective October. Previously the global digital and e-Commerce SVP at Tory Burch, Atkinson brings additional digital marketing expertise from roles at Starwood Hotels & Resorts and Travelocity.

During her tenure at Tory Burch, the company's digital display ad spend stayed pretty flat, per Adbeat; we expect her leadership will see investments in this channel for Chopt, as well.

Chopt has been testing various new products in Charlotte markets. It recently teamed up with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation to reach more consumers.

Most of Chopt's locations are in the Northeast and Southeast (view here), so local sellers able to drive foot traffic should reach out. Its target demographic consists of healthy-minded consumers of all ages, especially female millennials and Gen-X.

Agency & martech readers - considering that a new CMO will likely review agency relationships, reach out soon for potential work. earlier this year, so you'll have an easier time securing media buying and planning duties.
