ADT’S New CMO Brings Consumer Marketing Experience From Kellog, McDonald’s

BOCA RATON, Fla. — ADT announces the appointment of DeLu Jackson to serve as chief marketing officer (CMO), leading customer acquisition, marketing and advertising.

Jackson brings with him a wealth of consumer marketing experience rooted in data and digital strategies developed while he was at Conagra Brands, Kellogg Company, McDonald’s and other brands.

Jackson will lead marketing for ADT during a period of significant company transformation, activating important partnerships, such as ADT | Google, focusing on subscriber growth and delivering excellent customer experiences.

“We’re thrilled to bring DeLu into the ADT family during a time of significant transformation as we prepare our next generation ADT | Google smart home security offering, roll out expanded e-commerce capabilities and re-examine the ADT customer journey from top to bottom,” says Keith Holmes, chief revenue officer of ADT.  “DeLu shares our passion for building a customer-focused organization, driven by data, and relentless in protecting and connecting people to the things that matter most.”

“ADT is something of a paradoxical brand; it’s 147 years old, but it’s innovating new products and services today like you would expect from a startup,” Jackson says. “To serve this brand as CMO is a unique opportunity to both steward the most trusted brand in home security and ride this incredible wave of change, super-serve our customers and contribute to the growth engine the ADT leadership team has set in motion.”

ADT serves more than six million families and businesses. The company has partnerships with Google, Lyft, D.R. Horton and a national network of more than 5,000 smart home professionals providing in-home service and installation for smart home security systems.

ADT also offers DIY smart home security systems through e-commerce and retail locations nationwide. Customers can choose either professional installation or DIY with professional monitoring services.

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses. Vivint had requested a motion to have that lawsuit dismissed, but when the judge denied the motion, Vivint launched a countersuit claiming it is in fact ADT that is deceiving and stealing its customers. Gunshot detection provider ShotSpotter filed a lawsuit against media company Vice, alleging it is profiting off of fabricated claims. Vice has been critical about ShotSpotter’s technology in a multitude of articles. Though not a lawsuit, Dahua and Hikvision continue to feel pressure from the U.S. government as it considers a new measure that would make it imp

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
