IMPACT

Delivering sustainable growth

What does good look like for marketing leaders? In this section we will look at the challenges around delivering sustainable growth.

Emma Woods, former CEO of Wagamama, a previous CMO at Merlin and Pizza Express and now NED at scale up Huel and chair at The Gym Group and high street food chain Tortilla Mexican Grill will explain what c-suite peers need from marketers, and how to achieve it. Gained from experience with boards, investors and as a c-suite member, she will spell out how marketing leaders can help fuel growth from this unique vantage point.

In the roundtables that follow, we will share experience and best practice with peers on subjects including the measurement, communication and definition of effectiveness and key growth opportunities and challenges.

INFLUENCE

Securing stakeholder engagement

Perhaps the biggest challenge marketers face is internal marketing. In this section we will look at how to better engage stakeholders to build more effective relationships with c-suite peers.

Jeremy Connell- Waite is a storytelling expert and will offer a masterclass in getting buy in from  your c-suite peers. As global communications designer at IBM, it is his job to advise leaders on storytelling to create better pitches and presentations. Calling on this expertise, and the hours he spent studying and writing about oratory, he will present a masterclass in engagement.

In the roundtables that follow, we will share experience and best practice with peers on subjects including budgeting and planning, internal marketing and managing expectations.

INSPIRATION

Manging self and team

In order to inspire others, leaders must manage themselves. In this section we will look at how to manage time, resources and in turn, be better equipped to help others realise their potential.

Emma Harris is an accomplished business founder, and CMO but she will speak on a topic she is passionate about more than most – the need to “Slow the fuck down”. After suffering a cardiac arrest two years ago, Harris started a movement, to convince leaders everywhere to do what was necessary to avoid burnout and manage yourself better to ensure you can better serve others. She will talk about her own experience, what she has learned and what leaders should be doing differently to be more effective.

In the roundtables that follow, we will share experience and best practice with peers on subjects including managing time and resources, team management and leadership and change management.
