THE IDEA
Alessandro Panella
Patron "CMO of the Year“ Council
“The requirements that have to be met by a Chief Marketing Officer have undergone radical changes. Growing complexity, continuing fragmentation, the increasing number of communication options available and the break-up of traditional sales channels mean that such officers need higher levels of specialist knowledge, personal abilities, corporate vision and clear business acumen. Existing business models are undergoing further development in marketing departments, including the optimisation of their profitability.
With the “CMO of the Year” award, the members of the “CMO of the Year” Council, the previous year’s winner and the Innovation Day partners are honouring the Chief Marketing Officer who has most successfully met these requirements over the one-year review period. The CMO of the Year is therefore considered to be the representative role model for the entire sector. “
