There’s no doubt stakeholder management plays a huge role for senior marketers and that it is getting increasingly complex. Marketing is one of those lucky departments whose work is judged by every stakeholder in the business. You are constantly advocating for marketing initiatives and budget, balancing the needs of the C-suite, your team, clients and agencies, but you’re also tackling the increased pressure on businesses of social expectations around sustainability, diversity and inclusion, which, if handled poorly, could seriously damage your brand reputation.
We have invited a panel of senior marketers to share their strategies for dealing with stakeholders, and examples of what can go (and have gone!) wrong.
