With the rapid introduction of industry-impact technologies such as Generative AI, the modern marketing leader can calibrate company strategy to innovate across the organization, ensuring CMOs are recognized as a catalyst to growth.
PWC has firmly put the CMO at the center of the organization, labelling them as “growth catalysts”: “Now, more than ever, lines are being blurred across the C-suite, and CMOs can carve out a role as innovator, strategist and growth-driver. From working with the CEO to tell your company's story to activating the new tech capabilities with the CIO, you thrive as the driving force behind reinvention.”
Growth Guidance Center
The modern day CMO needs to strategically support all facets of the business and collaboration with the C-suite and drive marketing’s meritorious impact on revenue. The CMO Council’s specialist microsite, the Growth Guidance Center is an online thought leadership destination focused exclusively on exploring the forces and factors that accelerate, enhance, inhibit, disrupt, diversify and sustain growth. A dedicated strategic interest group formed by the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Council and Business Performance Innovation (BPI) Network, the Growth Guidance Center provides insights, access to intelligence, resources and peer-curated thought leadership to senior executives with the given (or self-defined) mandate of driving growth and sustainable opportunity, performance and outcomes for their organization.
