Marketing chief, Jenni Dill, leaves the QSR after four years at the helm of its A/NZ marketing strategy
McDonalds is on the hunt for a new chief marketing officer following the resignation of Jenni Dill.
A company spokesperson confirmed Dill has resigned from the QSR giant in order to pursue new career opportunities. She’s held the top marketing job for the past four years, replacing former CMO and now GroupM managing director, Mark Lollback.
Prior to McDonalds, Dill spent 25 years with PepsiCo, working her way up from segment marketing roles through to senior marketing director across both snacks and beverages in Australia and New Zealand.
A spokesperson highlighted a number of achievements during Dill’s time with McDonalds, not least of which was her development of a strong marketing function.
“Over the last four years with Macca’s, Jenni has been instrumental in building a strong team of marketers, leading the creation of big communications platforms for the brand, driving focus on Macca’s iconic core products and enabling rapid digital acceleration,” the spokesperson stated.
“We thank Jenni for her contribution, enthusiasm and commitment to the McDonald’s business, and we wish her well in her future endeavours.”
The company is now working to replace Dill, and said a new CMO will be announced in due course.

Disparate data sources, fragmented technology and a lack of funding has left many brands struggling in the battle for online customer attention amid a global pandemic. Now more than ever, brands need to focus on unlocking the value of their marketing technology.
For a while now, I have been following a fabulous design strategy and research colleague, Tatiana Toutikian, a speculative designer. This is someone specialising in calling out near future phenomena, what the various aspects of our future will be, and how the design we create will support it.
Online identity is a hot topic as more consumers are waking up to how their data is being used. So what does the marketing industry need to do to avoid a complete loss of public trust, in instances such as the COVID-19 tracing app?
Well done, team at Larsen. Fantastic story of how to continually invest in customer experience.
