There is a new war for sophisticated marketing talent that is crossing industries like never before. Companies need marketing executives who are equipped to deal with the growing challenges of increased competition, maturing markets, pricing pressures, demand for value-added differentiation, new channels and refined consumer expectations.
In a time when the average tenure of a chief marketing officer is less than 27 months, CEOs not only need to recruit the best marketing talent, but they also need to retain these executives in order to make a lasting impact. We understand the type of marketing talent required to succeed in today’s changing marketplace given our dominant search activity across industries, including consumer goods and services, financial services, industrial, life sciences, and technology, communications and media.
Our consultants, many of whom are former senior marketing executives, are well acquainted with the changing demands of the marketing function and have unmatched access and knowledge of more than 37,000 senior marketing executives.
Our clients include Fortune 500, mid-cap and emerging growth companies across a broad range of industries. Over the past three years, we have conducted more than 1,600 senior-level marketing searches, including assignments for Allstate, Intel, MSN, Motorola, Pfizer and Yahoo!, to note a few.
In addition to conducting searches for chief marketing officers, our consultants also handle assignments for vice presidents and directors across the full spectrum of marketing functional work in the following areas:
- Advertising
