Leading CMO Advisors

We understand how important it is to have complete confidence in the search process. When appointing a senior marketing leader, it's crucial to know you're making the right decision. To give you this confidence, we work alongside some of the UK’s top Chief Marketing Officers who will be on hand to advise you throughout the search.

How our advisory panel works

In addition to deep networks and a robust search process, we work with an advisory panel of market-leading CMOs, who we embed in our assessment process.

Our advisory panel has been hand-selected from over 10,000 Chief Marketing Officers. They’re the best of the best; and their experience spans B2C, B2B, and multiple industries. Between them, they’ve successfully delivered every challenge a marketer can face - they know what really makes a difference.


Each search is appointed the most appropriate advisor to support the process. They work alongside the team at 3Search Executive, meeting with the client to clearly understand their brief. Then, in addition to our headhunters' screening process, the advisor interviews each candidate under shortlist consideration.

This adds deep technical and leadership experience to the process; and removes any subconscious selection bias.
