About me

Keith Weed has served as Unilever’s Chief Marketing and Communications Officer since 2010, aiming to double the size of the company’s business while improving the company’s environmental and social impact. He brings significant personal influence to that job: he’s one of the most talked-about CMOs on Twitter, and one of the most engaging on LinkedIn, too.
Under Weed’s leadership, 2016 saw Unilever continue its record of innovative online engagement, with campaigns like #100PorCientoTu targeting the U.S.
Latino population and Dove’s #MyBeautyMySay, supporting a woman’s right to her own definition of beauty. The company also launched their “Bright Future” campaign, promoting their brands’ social
benefit work.
