Episode 18 - Meet The Business Lead CMO – Strategic, Commercial, Tech-Literate and the Connector at the C Suite

In this episode I talk to Wendy McEwan who is brilliantly qualified to talk about the future of marketing and where tech and data fit in. Wendy has had a diverse career including brand side, publisher side, ad tech and SaaA and now runs marketing in APAC for Knight Frank and sits on the Marketing Society board. In her “Reset”, Wendy calls out how the #wfh trend brought abt by covid is putting more jobs under threat from automation. She shares her views on the two different types of CMO – the legacy “Brand CMO” versus the “Business Lead CMO” who sits at the top table and connects customer experience, sales and marketing to drive growth. Wendy also warns publishers to be wary as brands no longer have the same reliance on them to access audiences and calls for marketers to more pro-actively up-skill themselves.

An episode packed with unique insight and candour that you won’t want to miss!
