Following on the heels of General Motors CEO Dan Akerson's recent resignation, Chevrolet's chief marketing officer for the United States Chris Perry has called it a day effective immediately.
Perry came aboard from Hyundai in 2010 through former GM chief marketing officer Joel Ewanick, going through numerous title shifts until the automaker hired former Volkswagen of America executive Tim Mahoney as the Bow Tie's global chief marketing officer last spring.
Prior to his hiring, Perry was Hyundai's top U.S. marketing executive after Ewanick left for GM. The duo were responsible for the Korean automaker's Hyundai Assurance program, allowing customers who financed or leased out a new Hyundai to return the model within a year should the customer lose their income.
Regarding Chevrolet, Perry spearheaded both the Tim Allen-voiced "Chevy Runs Deep" ad campaign — since replaced by the "Find New Roads" theme after customers didn't take a shine to the depths of the golden bow tie — and the ongoing "Under the Blue Arch" retail campaign, where fictional characters promote Chevrolet's lineup.
GM has yet to announce a successor.
