This week, our usual co-host, Jeff Clark, is back from vacation, and he and Ian Truscott dive into the latest Gartner CMO quarterly report, which is available to non-clients in exchange for an email address. 

As is the editorial policy of the show, they pull 5 f’in’ things from the report that caught their eye:

1. Investing in Customer Understanding

2. Budgeting Challenges for CMOs

3. Maximizing ROI through Technology and Process

4. CMOs and Growth Strategy

5. Advanced Budgeting Techniques

As always, we welcome your feedback. If you have a suggestion for a topic that’s hot for you that we should discuss, please get in touch using the links below.
