Expanding our Global Brand

In 2013, our influence continued to grow as part of our comprehensive brand strategy to reach more markets around the world. Our integrated marketing communication initiatives brought CME Group to more people, in more places.

Through strategic public relations at higher levels, we are generating coverage in elite publications such as The Economist, reaching influential leaders and positioning CME Group as a premier global company.

Our new television spot highlights our global reach-with a little help from Sir Richard Branson and LPGA Champion Brittany Lincicome.

Our “How the World Advances” marketing campaign communicates the vital risk-management role we play in industries and markets around the world.

Futures Fundamentals: Derivatives Made Simple is an interactive educational website that establishes CME Group as a go-to resource for explaining the vital role that global futures markets play in our everyday life.
