Millennial, Gen-X Opps: Alto taps new chief commercial officer amid CMO search (Score 61)

Sales Lead: Alto Pharmacy recently selected Jeanne Zucker as its new chief commercial officer.

  • Zucker joined from Amazon, where she served as an Amazon Care growth director.
  • Alto is also likely to appoint a new CMO to succeed Michael Krueger, who departed earlier this year.
  • For now, Zucker is probably in charge of adjusting Alto's strategies.
  • The company will likely:
    • Implement strategy shifts
    • Return to higher spend
  • Target demographic
    • Millennials and Gen-X

Additional spending insights:

  • Digital and social insights (digital ad spend, effectiveness, impressions, and performance)
    • YTD spend: Since the beginning of 2023, Alto has spent approximately $800 on digital ads, a plummet from the approximately $37.9k spent within the same timeframe last year.
    • YTD data: The company has earned roughly 128.1k digital impressions YTD, 70% via Instagram ads and 30% via Facebook ads.
    • Last year: Alto's estimated full-year 2022 spend reached $44.2k, a mere fraction of that of $705.4k in 2021.
  • Additional channel insights  
    • The company has used Google Ads in the past but has not done so recently; perhaps it could benefit from strategies to increase ROI from this channel.

Additional agency insights:

  • Opportunity: Get on Zucker's radar soon in case her hire leads to agency reviews.
    • ​​​​​​​Even if she doesn't handle all CMO responsibilities, it wouldn't hurt to at least remain top-of-mind when Alto does select an Alto-rnative CMO.
  • Current agency roster:
    • ​​​​​​​No current agency relationships yet confirmed
