May be a noob question. What agency titles feed into different C-Suite positions in the wider industry? Do creative titles most commonly set one up for a CMO position? How about account side?

You have to be a rare breed of alpha to get into a C-suite position. There is no "normal path" to a CMO position as far as I know. You have to be brilliant, supremely emotionally intelligent and ruthless to be a CxO, unafraid to alienate your co-workers but in a Frank Underwood kind of way where they are out-powered. That is my observation.
