Official: Cadillac executive appointments have global flair

By Jonathon Ramsey

Don Butler and Steve Majoros

Filed under: Cadillac has rearranged its executive suite in order to take full advantage of its sales momentum. Don Butler is moving from his role as US VP of marketing to a newly created position with the title VP of global Cadillac strategic development. It will be his job to “drive the next phase of Cadillac growth internationally,” planning strategy and developing new markets.

He will be replaced by Steve Majoros, an exec poached from Chevrolet’s ad agency of record, Campbell Ewald. Majoros, who has the Chevrolet campaigns “Like a Rock” and “American Revolution” on his resume, will oversee Cadillac’s US and international marketing.

Another component in the brand’s renewed global focus includes conducting an ad agency review. Announced last month, Fallon Worldwide remains Cadillac’s agency of record, but others, said to include Campbell Ewald, will be bidding to make the creative that helps Cadillac expand sales percentages by triple digits here and in China.

Cadillac, GM‘s luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy’s old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.

The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM‘s most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM‘s corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy’s new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, “Find Your Own Road.”)
