CMO extends the deadline for questionnaires to be completed to a final deadline of 24 August
CMO is extending the final deadline for submissions for this year’s CMO50 list to Monday 24 August 2020 due to demand.
This year marks the sixth annual CMO50 list recognising Australia’s 50 most innovative and effective Chief Marketing Officers. Our annual list celebrates those leading the marketing function who are innovative, strategic thinkers, driving business change and commercial success, and are showcasing modern marketing leadership in all its glory. And by extension, the list also recognises the hard work and resiliency of their marketing teams.
During this unprecedented time of upheaval and change from the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s CMO50 judges are keen to celebrate the hard work of marketing leaders who’ve helped their organisations pivot and navigate their way through the crisis. We want to shine a light on those who’ve been able to help their brands survive this time, by responding and adapting to the rapidly changing consumer behaviours and expectations the crisis has presented.
To be considered, marketing leaders MUST complete the CMO50 2020 questionnaire. These can be completed either by the individual, or in concert with their teams and partners.
All completed questionnaires will be reviewed by our CMO50 judging panel, who will work together to devise our final list. Approved excerpts will then form the basis of the profiles of our 50 CMOs, which will be revealed in October. Please be assured questionnaires and commercially sensitive information will be kept confidential between the judging panel.
So get those CMO50 questionnaires done and sent through now to CMO Publisher and Editor, Nadia Cameron:

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
