Why marketing leaders seek
additional strategic support
-
The role has become broader and more demanding
Marketing leaders are increasingly responsible for growth, technology, commercial performance and organisational change, often with limited internal support.
-
Important decisions lack external challenge
Many CMOs do not have access to an experienced peer who can challenge thinking, pressure-test decisions and bring external perspective.
-
Transformation creates additional pressure
Periods of change, restructuring, rapid growth or AI adoption can increase complexity and raise the stakes around strategic decisions.
-
Leadership can become operational
As execution demands increase, marketing leaders can lose time for strategic thinking, planning and long-term direction.
