Executive Marketing Leadership Recruitment

Nigel Wright Group has a strong track record in recruiting CMOs, Marketing Directors and Heads of Marketing for leading consumer brands. These roles demand clear thinking, steady leadership and the ability to guide complex teams. Many companies rely on us to help them secure senior marketers who can shape brand strategy, build capability and lead transformation.

In recent years, we have delivered senior marketing searches for well-known organisations including C&A, Campari, CFP Brands, De’Longhi, Deichmann, Diageo, Fissler, FrieslandCampina, GN Audio, Ipsos, Jacobs Douwe Egberts, Kramp, Jack Link’s, Merlin Entertainments, NBCUniversal, Paulig Group, PepsiCo, Reckitt, Rituals and Toyota. These projects reflect the depth of our networks and our understanding of what modern marketing leadership requires.

Hiring Senior Marketers for Global and Regional Teams

Senior marketing appointments often involve leading global or multi-market teams. These roles carry significant responsibility, with accountability for brand direction, innovation, digital strategy and marketing effectiveness.

We have worked with global groups such as PepsiCo, Reckitt and FrieslandCampina to secure leaders who can manage large budgets and guide cross-functional teams. These searches require candidates with strong strategic capability and experience influencing senior stakeholders across regions.

Companies like Campari, Paulig Group and Jacobs Douwe Egberts have also trusted us to deliver searches linked to major periods of change. These assignments involve identifying leaders able to reset brand strategy, bring teams together and build strong internal alignment.

Marketing Leaders Who Drive Growth

Many of our projects involve hiring marketing leaders to guide local or regional functions. These leaders manage brand plans, trade activation, portfolio strategy and channel development.

We have supported firms such as De’Longhi, Deichmann, C&A and Kramp in securing marketing leaders with sector experience and strong commercial skills. These roles demand clarity, steady leadership and the ability to work across sales, supply chain and finance.

In entertainment and media, companies such as Merlin Entertainments and NBCUniversal have turned to us when seeking leaders who can manage diverse customer groups and oversee multi-channel marketing campaigns.

For fast-paced FMCG environments, our work with CFP Brands, Jack Link’s and Rituals highlights our ability to find leaders who bring energy and precision to brand building and market execution.

Heads of Marketing for Growth and Transformation

We also recruit marketing leaders to support businesses entering new markets, launching new products or strengthening internal capability. These roles combine strategy with hands-on delivery, and candidates must be able to work at pace.

We have delivered these searches for brands such as Fissler, GN Audio and Toyota. Leaders in these settings need strong digital skills, an understanding of local marketplaces and the ability to guide teams through change.

Our work with Ipsos shows how research-driven organisations also need marketing leaders who can bring structure to complex communications and help stakeholders understand their value proposition.
