34% OF FORTUNE 500 FIRMS LACK A CMO

Only 66% of Fortune 500 companies had a marketing leader in 2024, down from 71% the year prior, with large gaps across sectors. 80% of tech companies had a CMO compared to just 51% of industrial firms. One-third of marketing leaders didn't hold a “chief” title, while 16% had dual roles blending marketing with revenue or customer oversight. These shifts reflect marketing's growing integration into broader business strategy, often extending beyond the traditional CMO role.

DEAR MARKETERS, SHOULD YOUR FOUNDER BE AN INFLUENCER?

Credible founders with strong opinions can outperform company brands on LinkedIn, especially with an active audience and marketing support. Instead of having executives write from scratch, marketing should capture insights from conversations, voice notes, or Slack threads and repurpose them into short-form content aligned with company messaging. Posts should reinforce 3-4 core brand themes, be published consistently, and include real-time engagement to boost visibility in LinkedIn's algorithm.

YOUR GUIDE TO BUILDING A SOCIAL MEDIA PORTFOLIO

A well-structured social media portfolio should highlight both creative execution and strategic thinking. Minimal text is best, letting the work speak for itself with a design inspired by social media feeds. Tools like Gondola help track past work by aggregating posts and metrics. Documenting work as it happens makes portfolio building easier, and crediting collaborators adds transparency. Starting with a basic Notion page or a list of links is a good first step.
