Why Marketing2030?
The first of four pieces from Marc in the countdown to Marketing2030.
Marketing2030 is built with the people shaping the future of the profession. Through the M2030 Leadership Lab, we brought together some of the world’s most successful CMOs and leading thinkers in an invite-only cohort. Together, they have interpreted the Marketing2030 findings, co-developed what they mean for the future of the function, and role-model the leadership required to win.
