Empathy, Trust, and the CMO
The last year has been an unexpected teacher for CMOs, forced to learn from extraordinary circumstances that changed the habits of customers, the lives of everyone, and the way marketers must now do business. Many new crisis strategies—created immediately and without testing—have already proven their lasting relevance for today and tomorrow. CMOs are rushing to shape a new playbook that shows compassion and adds empathy and trust to marketing’s new tool box. What steps should CMOs take next? Key insights from lessons learned.
