The evolving role of CMOs

Contribution towards strategic business discussions
There is increased competition in every category. The reasons could be easy to replicate business models, sameness of products/service and low entry barriers. Customers too are evolving at a rapid pace and their expectations from brands are ever increasing. In such a scenario, the role of CMO has never been more challenging.
As the landscape is changing fast, it is important to stay ahead of the curve and deliver on the brand promise with the sole objective of delighting the customers and driving business results; ranging from driving brand aspiration, to driving awareness to generating leads, to driving footfalls, to managing conversions to driving advocacy. On one end of the spectrum CMOs have the big data from various customer interactions and on the other they have the customer who is willing to engage provided they see value. What sense CMOs make of this plethora of data, distill these into actionable goals and delight customers through never-before experiences will decide the success.
