I read a stat that the average CMO lasts about 5 years versus a CEO who lasts 7.1. I’m not surprised shorter than the CEO, I’m surprised it is that close. Does this surprise anyone else?

I’m surprised it’s as long as 5 years lol

I was surprised too, but we also had something like three CEOs in three years.

Well I thought it was closer to 3 a few years ago so at least the retention is growing? I don't think its surprising. CEO's get better deals than CMO's and the benefit of blaming their c-suite if things aren't working.

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
