It’s not easy being CMO, especially today. The Chief Marketer consistently has the shortest tenure on the C-Suite and navigates an ever increasing list of responsibilities as new technology develops.

They can help lead the C-Suite towards a common set of goals that impact growth and the bottom line. In this episode, CMOs from Levis Strauss & Company, Hilton, and Foot Locker share what it means to be a “modern CMO”, and how to elevate the role as a true business leader. We’ll also hear findings from a study by Google and Deloitte that explores how Fortune 1000 corporate board members perceive CMOs.
