The Importance of CEO-CMO Alignment
A strong partnership between the CEO and CMO significantly influences a company's growth trajectory. Companies that integrate marketing into their core growth strategies experience notably higher annual growth rates. However, a prevalent disconnect exists between CEOs and CMOs regarding the understanding and value of marketing, with many CMOs reporting a lack of alignment on business objectives. This gap hampers the ability of marketing to connect meaningful activities to measurable outcomes, often relegating CMOs to executional roles rather than strategic contributors.
