Our guest this week is Donovan Neale-May , Executive Director of the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Council and Business Performance Innovation Network and we get to explore the role of marketing in digital transformation, and how the marketing function & CMO should change to support a digital-first organization.

As someone once said “Resistance is futile!” Like it or not, technology & data will continue to be an increasingly important aspect of running a modern marketing function.
