The Decline of the CMO Role
September 03, 2023

In episode #2552, we take a closer look at the decline of the CMO role — and what CMOs can do to turn things around. CMOs are facing a number of difficult challenges, but the biggest reason why most CMOs fail (or lose their job) is because they aren’t meeting the KPI set for their role. In our conversation we look at the lack of trust CEOs have in their CMOs, why this is the case, and what skills CMOs should master to reform their role and become an asset to their organization. The role of the CMO can be incredibly powerful in driving business outcomes. Tune in to learn more about the decline of the CMO role and how mastering creativity and analytics can get things back on track!
