Marketing leaders face many challenges, including high expectations for growth and return on investment, so clear, measurable objectives are essential.

— McKinsey

When marketing is aligned and functions in lockstep with the goals of the organization, amazing things can happen. We explore this dynamic and look at the successes, partnerships and relationships needed to make sure marketing is driving the business forward.

The first edition of the C-Suite Marketing Summit in Toronto will bring together several experts to discuss the importance of aligning goals between key tenants of the C-suite: the CEO and CMO.

The Summit aims to inform the audience of key brand insights at the highest levels. By way of thoughtful insider dialogue from C-suite executives at some of Canada’s top brands, attendees will learn the importance of aligning marketing with corporate goals.

The C-Suite Marketing Summit is a limited-spot event reserved exclusively for marketing leaders and featuring high-level informal conferences and discussions.
