Powerful Lessons From the World’s Most Influential CMOs in 2020

2020 has been, among other things, the year of digital transformation. The transformation has been going on for a while now. Slowly. But we’ve watched it accelerate these past few months. Which raises an important question: who in the organization is best suited to drive this transformation?

Digital transformation involves technology, processes, and systems. But, ultimately, it’s about people. It’s about providing customer experiences that delight and engage. The question every one of us should be asking is: How do we, as a company, deliver a stellar experience to the customer? An experience that will make them want to stay a customer? That’s the essence of digital transformation.

And, who better to understand the customer and deliver those experiences than the CMO? They own customer engagement. It’s not crazy to think that the CMO will be the individual who takes up the mantle of digital leadership. They’ll drive the customer experience, and the systems needed to support those experiences.

The Chief Marketing Officer is the perfect candidate for digital transformation leader.
