Kentucky Fried Chicken and A+E Networks with Jean, Wieden+Kennedy and Edelman
This short film from Jean manages to fit all the typical elements of a Lifetime movie into just 15 minutes. Thereâs a young heiress torn between two suitors, indiscretions at the country club, a gay best friend â who steps in at a crucial point to save the day â and ⦠Colonel Harland Sanders.
Yes, at the center of this deliciously campy collaboration between Lifetime and KFC is the famous colonel, played by Mario Lopez. This is a glimpse of Sanders in his younger days with smoldering good looks, though he had already developed his secret recipe and was convinced that it would change the world (perhaps needless to say, that recipe plays a key part in furthering the filmâs plot).
The Yum Brands-owned quick-service restaurant is searching for a replacement
Andrea Zahumensky, chief marketing officer for Kentucky Fried Chicken since 2017, has left her position at the company, a spokesperson confirmed Friday. The Yum Brands-owned chain has not announced a replacement as a search is currently underway according to the company.
Zahumensky is leaving for unnamed opportunities and her last day was April 15.
“Andrea has played a critical role in elevating KFC’s brand with industry-leading innovation and marketing activations, which have contributed to profitable same store sales growth and helped build KFC into a more modern and relevant brand,” a KFC spokesperson told Nation’s Restaurant News. “Her contributions have been many, and we are wishing her all the best in her next chapter. A search for a replacement that will maintain this strong trajectory and continue to win with customers is currently underway.”
