CMTO: The changing role of the Chief Marketing (Technology) Officer Stephen White, Principal, Greenfield/Belser Ltd. Digital marketing is revolutionizing how firms communicate with clients and prospects. New channels for communication and big data are giving rise to a new title, Chief Marketing Technology Officer (CMTO). Unlike a traditional CMO who uses left brain thinking to deliver creative campaigns, the CMTO uses right brain thinking to process vast amounts of data from various sources in order to make accurate and actionable decisions – delivering highly targeted multichannel messaging to the right people at the right time. In a recent survey of over 160 marketing executives, Spencer Stuart determined that roughly 70% believed that creativity was just as important as analytical ability. While only 19% believed that their teams were prepared for the convergence of marketing and information technology. Those that can bridge the gap are in high demand. Are you ready? In this 10-minute talk, we will define the new role of CMTO and explore simple ways traditional marketers can meet the demand for right brain thinking.
