The Chief Marketing Officer Council: Getting Involved as a SponsorCMOCouncil
The CMO Council is a global channel of insight, access and influence, representing over 8,500 members across 110 countries. Tapping into this valuable channel can happen in a number of ways.

In Q4 of 2013, we surveyed over 100 retail marketing executives across the United States on what technologies, data, and innovative ideas were most important to them. Not only that, we asked them what there current budgets and planned budgets were for all these strategies over the next 5 years. The results were surprising!
More and more, marketers are being tasked with proving the return on investment (ROI) of their marketing initiatives. This can pose a challenge, because there are many ways to determine the results and value of each campaign. For our most recent Marketing Maven survey, we wanted to know more about how industrial marketers handle proving ROI and what challenges they encounter.
Across sectors and regions, business leaders are recognizing the competitive advantage of
superior customer experience and the value that resides not only in what a company delivers
for its customers, but in how it delivers products and services. Where companies once
could differentiate themselves by product or efficiency, distinctiveness today increasingly
lies in creating a seamless, omnichannel customer experience.
As leaders of McKinsey’s Customer Experience Service Line, we are delighted to present this
volume of Customer experience: New capabilities, new audiences, new opportunities. This
compendium draws from the collective thinking of our experts and practitioners, and follows
by just 18 months our first volume of thinking on the subject. That in itself speaks to how
rapidly the landscape of customer experience is evolving, and how intently business leaders
are focused on it.
