Driving the Marketing Agenda

The Global CMO Growth Council was established in 2018 as a way for the global community of chief marketers to come together in unified leadership to transform marketing into a force for growth and a force for good.

Driven by the ANA Growth Agenda and led by Procter & Gamble chief brand officer Marc Pritchard, the Global CMO Growth Council is committed to helping CMOs look much further ahead to envision what their brands, business, and society will need to grow in the coming months and years ahead.
