Casual-dining chain Ruby Tuesday has appointed Jenifer Boyd Harmon as its chief marketing officer.
Harmon, a marketing veteran, will lead the chain’s marketing strategy, customer experience and advertising efforts, Ruby Tuesday announced this week.
Most recently, Harmon spent 15 years as executive vice president of St. John & Partners, where she led the Zaxby’s team. She has also served as senior director of advertising for Denny’s and has done brand work with Firehouse Subs, Fatz Cafes, Smoothie King, El Pollo Loco and Hardee’s.

Ruby Tuesday has struggled recently, closing dozens of units and experiencing sales declines.
