In Gartner’s most recent CMO Spend and Strategy Survey, 75% of marketing leaders said they feel pressured to do more with fewer resources. With economic headwinds, the rise of generative AI and a new focus on marginal growth, many CMOs and their teams are taking on increased responsibilities to show their value.

This new and meaningful way to engage with customers delivers profitable growth without always feeling the need to do more.
