The right CMO can speed your company’s growth
What is a CMO?
A CMO is short for Chief Marketing Officer and is an executive who oversees a company’s marketing operations and leads the marketing unit.
What is a CMO’s role in an organisation?
The CMO’s role is to develop and execute a marketing strategy that supports the organization’s goals, and to oversee all marketing initiatives to ensure they are aligned with the company’s overall vision and objectives.
The CMO will typically identify target markets and customer segments and develop marketing campaigns that reach those audiences effectively.
The CMO will also manage the organization’s brand, oversee market research and measure the ROI of marketing initiatives. It is quite important for the CMO to collaborate with other executives and teams across the organization, such as sales, product development, and customer service, to ensure marketing initiatives are aligned with business goals and objectives.
When do you need a CMO?
An organization typically needs a CMO when it sees that marketing and customer understanding is strategically important for the company. Such occasions might be launching of a new product, a brand renewal and entry to new markets. Also the adaptation of new marketing technology might need the strategic approach of a CMO.
What type of a background does a CMO normally have?
A CMO typically has extensive experience from marketing but nowadays we also see CMO’s with more experience from data and technology. A CMO might have studied marketing or business, but backgrounds do vary. Strategic thinking, good collaboration skills and insight into digitalisation are needed in the role of a CMO.
How to find a great CMO?
There’s currently quite a lot of competition on the job market for experienced leaders. Typically leaders of this rank are found with the help of a headhunter. It is also the way many leaders are accustomed to change jobs and they rarely browse job ads, but rather wait to be contacted or they contact a headhunter themselves.
At Compass HRG we recruit on average a leader a day. What we’ve noticed is that successful recruits are the result of careful match making. A good headhunter can read the hiring organization and see what the organization needs. On the other hand a good headhunter knows what kind of a person is motivated to jump into any given organization.
Effective recruitment, especially for a critical function, can be crucial to a business' success
