How to become a Chief Marketing Officer in ecommerce and retail

With the number of businesses rapidly growing and expanding into the North West, there is an increasing demand for board level marketers in Manchester and beyond. To support the development of your career, we have put together an exciting panel of leading CMOs who are going to share their personal journeys from Heads of Marketing and Marketing Directors to Chief Marketing Officer.

3Search Manager and Greater Manchester recruitment consultant, Andy Larkin, is excited to invite you to his event discussing how Heads of Marketing and Marketing Directors can transition into the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) role. 

With so many businesses relocating and expanding in the North West, we're seeing a growing demand for marketing leaders in Manchester and beyond. As a result, we're holding a breakfast seminar aimed at senior marketers to share how they can progress their career in the ecommerce and retail sectors. Our expert panel is comprised of...

• Nicki Capstick, Chief Marketing Officer at PrettyLittleThing.com
• Duke Tanson, Chief Digital Officer at GLAMIRA
• Alex Adamson, Chief Marketing Officer at SECRET SALES

Together, they will be sharing their own career journeys to CMO and sharing their thoughts on a range of topics, including...

• What makes a great Chief Marketing Officer in Ecommerce and Retail?
• What skills would you need to acquire to get there?
• What are the challenges and sacrifices needed to secure the role?

We'll be covering all of this and more during the panel discussion, followed by time for you to ask your own questions to our panelists. This is a great opportunity for marketing leaders in Greater Manchester to come together as a community to network with fellow experts and learn in a collaborative environment.
