The CMO Council creates programs and services designed to add to the intellectual capital of the leading marketing thinkers that are members of the Council. Some of these programs and services include thought leadership surveys and studies, advocacy initiatives around strategic agendas, intimate peer networking programs and events, regular convocations and gatherings, discussion groups and invention sessions, web conferences, online dialogues, webcasts, article sourcing and media commentary, knowledge bank and content archive, monthly eNewsletter & special eBulletins, career opportunity referral and internship placement.

The CMO Council's programs and services can be invaluable to members seeking to network and engage with others in the field. Many members are prolific producers of thoughtful content, views and opinions. These are frequently never captured, recorded or syndicated to others in the industry. Marketing is in a continuous state of change and staying current with the latest practices, processes, technologies and methodologies is a perennial problem. The Council's programs and services are designed and supervised by veteran marketing professionals, none of whom possess any particular agenda or vested interest. For those who are qualified to enter the CMO Council ranks, rich opportunities are available to participate in thoughtful, stimulating interactions. New channels and avenues are accessible for the presentation of views and opinions. New mentoring roles can be assumed and greater visibility and stature can be obtained in the industry. This is an enlightening, engaging and rewarding experience.
