Neil Heckman, Founder of Breakfast Consulting, discusses the evolution of the executive CMO role. Even before the pandemic, brands that were in extended periods of hyper-growth got into trouble due to overhiring. This led to many brands having to lay off people and to many employees resigning as their workloads increased and the workforce decreased in size. Today, Neil talks about The Great Resignation and where companies got it wrong.

Neil Heckman, Founder of Breakfast Consulting, discusses the evolution of the executive CMO role. Ideally, the role of a CMO is to be the voice of the brand they’re representing and to essentially get the brand out there. However, at different stages of a company's growth, different skill sets are needed and that has led to the decreasing tenure of the CMO over the last 10 years. Today, Neil talks about the changing role of the executive CMO.
