Ron Vining
Everything about marketing has changed; the audience, the channel, the message and even the marketing role itself. The dynamic mediascape has shifted a marketer’s one-time reliance on the five Ps – product, price, place, promotion and people as the means to reach customers to the five Ds – digital, disruption, devices, distribution and data. The result of this shift in media has also changed not only the CMO’s role within the business structure, but the entire C-suite. As the future of business progresses, traditional silos and skills have become increasingly dated. New challenges around customer engagement and consumer loyalty now see a greater emphasis on technology and thus, the need for the CMO role to become more closely aligned with that of the CIO and for the entire realignment of the C-suite.
What skills and structure then, must the future organization possess in order to succeed in the face of the ever-evolving consumer, marketplace and technology? To take full advantage of the limitless opportunities that abound in today’s dynamic mediascape, they must first be grounded in the tried and true fundamentals, then seek to become the chief visionary, technologist, operative and storyteller for their business.
As a creative, tech-savvy and visionary C-level advisor to over 25 of the top 100 iconic brands, Ron Vining extracts his experience and infuses it into the bespoke content of his keynote speeches and masterclass trainings.
