Episode Synopsis

Be honest, when you think "CMO," do you picture campaigns, brand work, or the de facto unifier of a siloed C-suite? In this episode, guest host Narine Galstian (SADA) leads a conversation with Katie McAdams (Basis Technologies) and Julia Goebel (Komodo Health) on how the CMOs role has grown into a key driver of org-wide alignment. It's part diplomat, part coach, translating strategy across departments and turning zigzags at the top into coordinated momentum.  In this episode:  Katie shares how early signals from marketing and sales can shape product strategy before it hits the roadmap  Julia explains why cohesive brand messaging only happens when product, marketing, and sales move as one  Narine explores how marketing becomes the connective tissue that keeps cross-functional teams in sync   Plus:  Why fragile alignment breaks when you skip the relationship-building  How "agree and commit" clears the clutter when teams clash  The case for marketers to stop owning just campaigns and start owning outcomes Tune in for a blueprint on becoming the Chief Collaboration Officer your org needs!  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/
