Overview
The CEO-CMO relationship has never been more critical or more strained. Despite record marketing investments, CMOs still face the shortest average tenure in the C-suite, often due to a persistent disconnect between strategic vision and measurable business outcomes.
This webinar brings together leaders from McKinsey, Zeta Global, Aperiam and iOPEX to explore how marketing organizations can close the strategy-execution gap by harnessing data, AI, and operational excellence.
You’ll gain insights into how to rebuild CEO trust, achieve transparency in spend and performance, and accelerate marketing impact through next-generation platforms and agentic AI.
