Did You Make The Cut? It’s The B&T CMO Looooong List, Presented By Are Media!!
That’s right, the B&T CMO Long List, presented by Are Media, is back and bigger than ever.
This year, we have more than 300 of the most important heads of marketing across Australia and, we have to say, it was a heck of a job compiling them.
Now, this list is in alphabetical order by company name — we’re not playing favourites here. Yet.
To find out who the crème de la crème of marketers in Australia are at the moment, you’ll need to check back in to see the final CMO Power List, presented by Are Media, in February. In the meantime, check out last year’s CMO Power List, presented by Are Media!
We’d also like to say a very big thank you to Josh Faulks and the team at AANA for supporting both the Long and Power Lists.
And, as ever, if we’ve missed anyone, please comment below and let us know!
