ABOUT GLOBAL CMO
Digital Transformation has changed the dynamics of the modern marketing playbook. As entire business routes get disrupted, many CMOs are spending more money on technology than their Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Chief Technology Officers. As a result, marketers find themselves leading their marketing teams through a period of change that has permeated all sectors.
In this new environment, what can a CMO do to stay ahead of the curve? Global CMO seeks to answer that question, with insights from interviews with 18 leading CMOs responsible for taking their brands into the future across drastically different markets.
The brands represented in this book span several sectors, from CPG leaders such as Coca-Cola and Colgate-Palmolive; to financial giants like Mastercard, Bank of America, and Citi; to leading technology companies, including GE and Samsung. Even though they all face a different set of challenges, there are many common threads running throughout their interviews.
This is a playbook for building a modern marketing organization.
In the following chapters, we explore how digital trends such as e-commerce, martech, adtech, big data, and shifting agency models are shaping CMO’s global strategies, as well as how they are dealing with competition, disruption, and building a learning organization for the future. In the telling of these stories, we reference real-world examples and insights from the major global brands that participated in the development of this book.
