Senior leadership sets the targets, controls the purse strings, and expects results yesterday. Marketers are often stuck in the middle—trying to do more with less, balance brand and performance, and stay creative while keeping the C-suite happy.
But what if navigating these pressures could actually make you stronger, more strategic, and more respected as a marketer?
In this energizing roundtable, brand-side marketers who’ve been there share how they’ve learned to work with executive expectations, not just survive them. We’ll explore mindset shifts, practical strategies, and real-life wins that prove you can deliver results without burning out—or selling your soul.
You’ll learn:
How to manage up with confidence—and get leadership bought into your long-term vision
Creative ways to reframe marketing metrics to show value beyond the dashboard
Smart budget advocacy: how to speak the CFO’s language (and get more of what you need)
How to protect time and focus for meaningful work, even in a reactive environment
The power of internal storytelling: how to position marketing as a strategic partner, not a service desk
If you’re feeling stuck between ambitious goals and limited resources, this conversation will leave you energized, equipped, and reminded why you love this job in the first place.
