It’s starting to be referred to as one of the most dangerous jobs
on the planet. Today’s chief marketing officers need to be in the
know regarding everything involving their organizations—including
IT, finance, manufacturing customer service, as well as advertising
and marketing—and when something doesn’t go right, they are usually
caught somewhere in the middle.
It is no wonder why the average tenure of a CMO is under 2 years
these days. And because marketing is such a public function,
everyone has an opinion and ready to shoot the messenger when a
project goes awry or sales don’t quite meet expectations. The
challenges are great because the position is extremely important.
In fact, a CMO’s role is more strategic than ever and many are
making dramatic impacts within their organizations.
