The tenure of a senior marketer has been sliding over the past decade, with some studies showing an average these days of just two years for a chief marketing officer.
With the increased disruption of digital technology over the past few years, some pundits warn the role will be usurped by the CIO or CTO. At the other end of continuum, we also hear that companies are increasingly seeing the CMO position as the logical path to the CEO’s corner office.
Where there is challenge, there is opportunity.
