Best MBA programs for Marketing/Strategy

Alright let's break up the finance monotony for a bit. I'm looking for opinions regarding the best MBA programs for someone hoping to go into marketing management and strategy (basically, looking for anything that will put me on a good path to a CMO/VPMarketing position down the line).

The obviously answer is Kellogg, duh. But what other schools are well-respected in this area? US News gives other top schools as Wharton, Stanford, Fuqua... is this true? If not, what do you suggest? Thoughts on McCombs? UT's Advertising/ Communications program is top notch, and while that's not exactly Marketing, I would think there would be interesting opportunities and connections to be made with faculty there.

Would like to focus on marketing for tech companies, but I'm not picky.
