Join our breakfast panel, where we'll hear from senior marketers, CEOs and Directors to gain their perspective on the future of WA's executive leadership - an invaluable session for anyone seeking to pursue a senior leadership role, or for anyone interested in the future of business leadership in WA!
This event hosted by the AMI WA Committee and sponsored by Edith Cowan University will feature a panel discussion focused on the ways in which marketing is changing the role of the CEO and other C-suite executives. Our esteemed panellists will discuss how marketing is becoming more multi-disciplinary, increasingly integrated with other business functions, and as a result playing a more strategic role in driving business growth.
This event explores the growing importance of marketing in the modern business environment.
Three panellists representing Marketing, the C suite, and Directors, will discuss the skills and experience that marketing executives bring to senior leadership teams, and why it is becoming more common practice for CEOs to have a strong understanding of marketing. We’ll explore the challenges and opportunities that marketing executives face in today's business landscape, including globalisation, data and privacy, and economic shifts.
Join us on the 25th of October from 8am for breakfast, networking, and an engaging dialogue about how marketing impacts business outcomes, how marketers can take a seat at the leadership table, and what beneficial insights existing leaders can share.
