Stacey Kane joins King Street as CMO

April 9, 2020

King Street Consultants has tapped Stacey Kane as CMO for its "fractional C-Suite" consulting firm. With more than 25 years of restaurant and franchise marketing experience, Kane will support King Street's roster of emerging franchisors, including The Halal Guys, Mamoun's Falafel and Jon Taffer's Taffer's Tavern, according to a company press release.

Kane previously served as vice president of marketing for California Tortilla, marketing lead for Chef Jose Andres' Think Food Group and also spent 11 years as an account supervisor for MarketSmart Advertising, which handled regional marketing for more than 1,000 Subway restaurants. 

"There are few people in franchising with Stacey's creativity and deep understanding of marketing analytics and trends," Scott Goodrich, co-founder of King Street Consultants said in the release. "Those skills coupled with her ability to scale highly effective marketing systems for young concepts make her the perfect match for the franchisors we support. These emerging brands will get much, much more than they are otherwise able to afford at their early stages."

Kane has served on several boards, including the National Restaurant Association's Marketing Executives Group and has twice been named a Top 20 Mover and Shaker by FastCasual. 

"The King Street Consultants' model allows me to maximize marketing resources of multiple emerging brands at the most critical time in their growth," Kane said. "I am able to deliver full marketing strategies that would normally require third-party agencies and additional staff. Everything I have ever learned — every best practice and every best-known way — will be poured into these emerging brands."
