The CMO role is being redefined. What worked five years ago - campaign excellence, brand metrics and functional authority - no longer guarantees success at the executive table. Today’s CMO must lead Marketing as a strategic function: finding and driving consumer value, redesigning the marketing operation for the modern world, and building credibility as a business leader in the C-Suite.
Yet 71% of CMOs are first-time appointments, and many arrive unprepared for a role that demands enterprise leadership, not just marketing expertise.
This is an executive education programme for senior marketing leaders preparing to lead in a business environment reshaped by AI, shifting consumer dynamics and growing enterprise complexity. The programme approaches marketing through three interconnected lenses: the discipline of marketing, the organisational function and the personal leadership demands of the CMO role.
