Inside the Mind of a Marketing-Centric Founder

 

As marketing strategies become increasingly intertwined with executive decision-making, understanding how to align these functions is essential for driving business growth and staying competitive. With new technologies like AI redefining industries, there’s an emerging conversation about how marketing-centric founders can leverage these tools to stay ahead. The stakes are high—effective marketing can be the difference between a product that thrives and one that vanishes into obscurity. In fact, a study by McKinsey reveals that companies that integrate marketing at the core of their business strategy will likely see better revenue growth than their competitors.

But what happens when there’s a disconnect between the marketing team and the executive suite? How can marketers align their strategies with a founder’s vision to drive growth? This episode of Pro AV Today dives into these questions.
