The Big Rethink US
The entrepreneurial CMO
March 5, 2015
New York
To win at marketing today requires the mentality of a lean start-up, flexible organisational
structures and a keen understanding of cutting-edge technology.
Enter the age of the “entrepreneurial CMO”—a new generation of marketing professionals, known
for their speed, agility and the ability to scale on a tight budget. This breed of leaders sees trends
emerging from around the corner and leverages them to engage customers in innovative and
powerful ways.
This year’s Big Rethink features the most entrepreneurial chief marketing officers from Fortune
1000 companies and innovative startups, as well as visionaries and practitioners from the world’s
leading advertising and marketing agencies, to explore ways entrepreneurial CMOs are leveraging
social, economic and technological upheavals to reinvent marketing for a new age.
Chaired by US technology correspondent Martin Giles, The Big Rethink presents global insights
from The Economist and The Economist Intelligence Unit in the form of interactive conversations,
curated strategy sessions, and actionable insights that engage an influential community of senior
marketing professionals, thought leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
As social technologies evolve, customer engagement takes on ever-greater importance. As a result,
the job of a CMO is expanding more than ever before. CMOs who behave like fast-moving
entrepreneurs—combining scientific precision with artistic passion, marshaling financial and
technological resources from diverse places, leading global teams and exploiting new technologies
to drive growth—will win.
At The Big Rethink 2015, join Economist editors and special guests from sectors such as retail,
manufacturing, technology, financial services, and beyond to hear front-line stories, ideas, and
tactics from the world’s leading entrepreneurial CMOs.
