SUMMARY

The convergence of brand and reputation is disrupting the marketing function. MaryLee Sachs explores the relationship and increasing blur between the marketing discipline and the public relations profession, and how the two mix in a world where reputation is an increasingly important aspect to brand, and where the growth of social media has contributed to an increasing lack of control over how brands are perceived.
Drawing on the experiences of Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) from 10 iconic organizations with business and consumer brands around the globe, The Changing MO of the CMO explores how some organizations are making the most of a blended approach to communications and marketing and how CMOs can respond to and prepare for their new responsibilities. More details.
