Here are some of the highlights from my interview with Pete Krainik:
- The CMO Club filled a pent up demand for top level marketing executives that were looking for peers to lean on for advice.
- The CMO Club’s brand has risen to be defined as “content for conversation, not content for presentation.”
- Keeping CMOs interested means finding topics of discussion that cross industries.
- Launching a grass roots organization requires touch, meaning face-to-face communications, not mass mailings.
- Creating an organization means you’re going to have to take on the branding role of “the connector.”
- Competition in a very green industry is good because it provides more editorial where there is none and raises the profile for the entire category.
