Shifting the Content Game

In Partnership with: Cision

What is covered:
New research produced by the CMO Council, in partnership with Cision reveals that too many brands are dissatisfied with their earned media performance due largely to problems arising from misalignment between marketing and comms.

Brand leaders need to know how to spot marketing-comms alignment problems, leverage technologies and solutions to help drive cohesion, and create consistent messaging across media channels.

Join us along with Cision and special guest speakers from Schneider Electric and Cisco as we discuss brand new research: Bridging the Gap for Comms & Marketing: Building Cohesion in the Age of Customer Disruption.

During this webinar we’ll discuss:

  • Findings from the research report
  • The state of alignment
  • Key insights on how to align processes and structure reporting relationships
  • Important metrics that will improve collaboration
  • And much more!

You don’t want to miss this conversation. Hear straight from the leaders themselves who have set transformational practices in motion to bridge the gap between marketing and comms.

Who should attend:
This webinar is extended to high-performing marketing and comms leaders looking for guidance on best practices for better alignment.
