The Marketing Leaders Guide 2022

Every year I create a guide or ebook for Marketing leaders to improve the next year for them and their team or department. Last year was the brand book 2021, guiding Marketing and business leaders through brand building and development.

There is a lot of content out there but not a lot of high quality for Marketing leaders from other Marketing leads for free and is designed to help you with the year ahead.

Helping You For 2022

This year I asked a number of Marketing Leads (CMO’s, VP’s and Marketing Directors) to helpΒ answer 10 questions that will help you think differently, to consider shaping 2022 differently and understand if there are shifts within the marketing world you may not have considered.
