Agnes Francis earns highest Global Marketing recognition

Published on June 1, 2026

After a career spanning more than 30 years, Accela Marketing Founder and renowned strategist Agnes Francis has been elected as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (FCIM), the highest level of professional recognition granted by the world’s largest and most respected marketing body.

The FCIM designation is reserved for practitioners who have demonstrated leadership excellence, global market expertise, and a sustained commitment to ethical standards.

The honor recognizes Agnes’ transformative impact across the Caribbean and the Global South—from introducing regional telecommunications and financial companies into new markets, to generating significant national economic growth through tourism campaigns, to shaping public education initiatives that shift community behavior.

Francis notes that “For those outside the profession, FCIM is the highest level of professional recognition. It means leading teams and strategies that have delivered significant growth, successfully penetrating new markets, producing award-winning campaigns, and championing ethical standards. Most importantly, it means delivering sustained, transformative impact”.
