Gartner Marketing Symposium/Xpo 2020

Great B2B marketing depends on a great B2B marketing team –that much is obvious. But with lingering post-Covid uncertainties around working practices and patterns, the ongoing cost of living crisis and escalating AI-induced uncertainty, leadership has never been harder for marketing directors and CMOs. So what does it take to run an outstanding B2B marketing team? That’s what we’ll explore in this session, with the help of some B2B Marketing Awards-winning marketers, who are at the top of their game. We’ll discuss: Which organizational structure or structures work best for great teams? How do internal teams collaborate most effectively with agencies or external contributors? How do you motivate individuals and collectives at a time of transition? How do get individuals to collaborate in and proactively drive innovation or transformation? How do you ensure a great culture? How enable individuals to thrive and be fulfilled?
