CIM honours the Chairman of the European Marketing Confederation

On behalf of CIM, Chris Daly, Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, presented Strauss with an official certificate recognising him as an Honorary Fellow of CIM. This distinction is among the highest recognitions awarded by CIM and is granted only on very rare occasions to individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the marketing profession. 

“He received this in acknowledgment of his exceptional leadership and dedication to the around 100,000 marketing professionals across Europe, under whose guidance the organisation has achieved significant growth, strengthened its influence, and advanced the professionalisation of marketing across Europe,” the European Marketing Confederation states in a social media post.  

AMC co-founders honoured in similar fashion 

The co-founders of the African Marketing Confederation, Nigel Tattersall and Helen McIntee-Carlisle, were also presented with Honorary Fellowship of the CIM during the African Marketing Confederation’s annual conference in Accra, Ghana recently. 

CIM is widely regarded as the world’s leading professional body for marketing, and this is the most prestigious award that it can make to industry professionals and those associated with the profession.  

The Chartered Institute of Marketing and African Marketing Confederation announced a partnership in February 2025.
