Jeff Madison, a veteran and former Chick-Fil-A owner, spoke to a marketing class about maintaining a relevant brand. He discussed how Chick-Fil-A's mission statements of glorifying God and having a positive influence guided his strategies. His four-part strategy focused on operational excellence, exceptional customer service, creating emotional connections with customers, and being remarkable in representation, assets, value, and experience. By 2015, Chick-Fil-A had nearly 2,000 stores and $7 billion in annual sales due to effectively implementing this strategy.
