Posted on: Wednesday, 1 April 2009, 14:56 CDT

The CMO Club Hosts May Summit of Chief Marketers in New York City

NEW YORK, April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Chief Marketing Officers are under significant pressure to not only provide marketing leadership within their businesses, but to drive the growth agenda during these tough economic times. The CMO Club, an exclusive CMOs-only club created to help Chief Marketing Officers develop and share best practices for the constantly evolving marketing landscape, will host a CMO Thought Leadership Summit from May 19-20 at the Affinia Manhattan Hotel in New York City.

A coterie of the country's leading Chief Marketing Officers have been assembled to lead workshops at the event, including Kim Feil of Walgreens, Joe Rooney of Cox Communications, Phil Clement of Aon, Leo Tokar of Kaiser Permanente, Mike Hogan of Gamestop, Kevin Joyce of Kodak, Ram Menon of Tibco, Mitch Bishop of iRise, Deborah Eastman of Satmetrix and many more.

The summit, which will host over 75 Chief Marketing Officers representing both mid-size and Fortune 500 companies, will feature a series of sessions and workshops designed and lead by CMOs for CMOs. The theme of the summit is "The World's Best CMO Conversations" and the topics are aligned with the key responsibilities of the CMO:

  • Chief: Leading Marketing Organizations and Accelerating Talent Development
  • Marketing: Leveraging Social Marketing and other Tools for Improved Customer, Partner and Employee Engagement
  • Officer: Leading Organization Wide Change as CMO

"We've designed The CMO Club and the CMO Thought Leadership Summit to help put CMOs on the offensive and add more value within their respective organizations," said The CMO Club Founder and former DoubleClick CMO Pete Krainik. "Chief Marketing Officers are the voice of the customer and define a vision for future organizational growth and vitality within a company, but against a backdrop of tightening budgets and an increasingly fragmented media landscape, many of us have been hamstrung by the need for a necessarily short-term outlook. The CMO Club Summit is a chance to step back from the daily grind, think strategically, and grow professionally with the help of other CMOs. The club has grown organically from local "CMO's only" dinners to a nation wide network with over 800 engaged members."
