Stephanie McMahon Receives High Ranking On Forbes 2021 Influential CMOs List

Stephanie McMahon has once again received a high ranking on the annual Forbes World’s Most Influential CMOs (Chief Marketing Officers) list.

On the 2021 Forbes list, McMahon was ranked #2. This is the same ranking she received in 2020. McMahon received the #13 spot in 2019.

The list is based on 30 digital and social channels analysed by Sprinklr and LinkedIn data science teams. The pool of candidates was drawn from more than 500 CMOs and brands from across a wide range of other Forbes lists, and external lists including the World Federation Of Advertisers and the Brand Finance Global 500.

Forbes wrote the following about McMahon for this year’s list:

“While she may be the only CMO with ‘professional wrestler’ on her resume, Stephanie McMahon an influential marketer far beyond the WWE ring. Along with overseeing the creation of the bio-secure ‘ThunderDome’ during the Covid-19 crisis, McMahon also helped drive fan engagement for live and streaming matches, navigated the return to in-person events in July and built one of the largest TikTok followings for a sports property.

McMahon has also led cross-company collaborations. To help Netflix promote its Army Of The Dead show, WWE had zombies circle the ring and become part of the show. And earlier this month, the WWE partnered with Connor’s Cure and The V Foundation to raise money for fighting pediatric cancer. She’s also helped The Ad Council with its vaccine marketing including PSAs for people to learn more about their options for getting vaccinated.
