The CMO’s most important job when scaling? To create focus, protect focus, and seize control of the strategic planning process - not just for marketing but for the company as a whole. Here’s how to do that.
Join Erica and her guest Jay Gaines, who runs marketing at insurance tech scale-up AgentSync, as they discuss:
- How to avoid ‘random acts of marketing,’ reinforce the role of marketing as the business scales, and drive a shared common understanding of what marketing is there to do for the business.
- How marketing can -- and should -- seize control of the strategic planning process for the company as a whole
- How to respond to a CEO who over-rotates on a demand-first view of marketing
- The one question the best CMO candidates ask the CEO before they say yes to a scale job: “How exactly do you plan to expand?”
- How to avoid a surprisingly tantalizing organization misstep when scaling
- How employees’ values are changing away from ‘growth at all costs’ - which means companies need to be pitching themselves differently
- How a tangible commitment to work/life balance and DEI, embodied from the top-down, can accelerate hiring in the long run
