How To Transform Marketing WITH Your Company, Not TO Your Company
Manage episode 320636432 series 3295205
It’s every CMO’s complaint: “Everyone thinks they’re a marketer.” With so many people outside of marketing weighing in, this can make the CMO job challenging. Our guest today shows how you can harness the emotional investment that others in the company have.
Our guest is Justin Steinman, CMO of Definitive Healthcare, the healthcare commercial intelligence company. Justin joined the company to help fuel a scale-up to the $500MM mark and went through an IPO already. He shares:
- What it’s like to do a rebrand, a marketing transformation, and an IPO all at once
- How to do a marketing transformation that actually leads to the rest of the org respecting marketing
- How to acknowledge and embrace the emotional investment in the brand that people outside of marketing have
- Why a CMO should never use the phrase ‘my marketing budget’
- How to tell whether a company that has not traditionally invested in marketing is ready for it
- How to bring in practices from big companies to companies that are scaling up… without overpowering the business
- How one particular interview question will reveal a lot about someone’s view of marketing and their ability to structure their thoughts
