Why It Matters to You 

According to two recent Gartner research studies (2022 & 2023), the role of the CMO is evolving. C-Suite executives EXPECT the CMO to "expand their role in growth leadership". Here's how Marketing Powered Innovation supports the CMO and the Marketing organization to meet or exceed those expectations to create new streams of revenue and opportunities for corporate growth.

  • Augments Traditional Innovation

    Instead of sidelining or competing with traditional R&D or innovation teams, Marketing Powered Innovation presents an opportunity for collaboration. Marketing's insights and data-driven strategies can complement the technical and creative prowess of innovation teams, leading to more market-aligned and profitable solutions.
