CMO addresses the unique leadership and management challenges chief marketers face as they look to align their own practices and insights with those of the bu... siness. Their brand delivers stimulating, thought-provoking and inspiring content for the modern marketing chief covering everything from leadership and management strategies to customer insights and digital and social media marketing trends. They demystify technology, delve into marketing, data and analytics best practice, and provide a platform for marketing leaders to share their concerns and ideas. As well as content from their team of independent journalists, they feature contributions from industry thought leaders, agencies, technology and data experts as well as multimedia such as slideshows and video. All of this helps marketing chiefs be more successful and take up their rightful place as corporate leaders and chiefs of customer experience.
